FIX UP
Cynthia Rowley hammers away at her style.
While we try to renovate our summer wardrobes, Cynthia Rowley is leaving her fashion closet to take a stab at home improvement. The New York designer just rolled out a line of hardware-store staples like hammers, pliers, and flashlights that she'll sell in her various boutiques.
The good news? With easy-to-spot items like a hot pink staple gun, you'll never need to rummage around in your toolbox again.
The bad news? This stuff is so cute, you might not want to get it dirty - and as any Home Depot expert can tell you, that's a prerequisite of loving handywork!
