I Don't Travel Without This Packing Hack - It's Saved Me Time, Money, and My Sanity

Here's the situation: I'm a shopping editor, so it should come as no surprise that I like to shop. I really love to shop when I travel because it's my opportunity to find something unique that I wouldn't normally be able to buy. I also have no idea how this happens, but every time I travel, it is always more difficult to pack my suitcase going home than it was when I left, even if I didn't actually purchase anything. So, on the advice of my genius mother, I started packing a foldable tote bag in my suitcase. It has changed the way I travel, and here's why.

First of all, I don't want to miss out on a fun purchase just because I'm worried I can't pack it in my suitcase. If I buy something that takes up more room, I can just store it in my other bag. Plus, sometimes I need more space in my "personal item" on the plane, and it's nice to have the option of a larger bag that you can fit your everyday purse inside. It's so critical that the bag is foldable because it shouldn't take up any valuable suitcase real estate on your way there, and should merely be used as a solution to a problem. There are many trips where my extra bag never leaves my luggage, but it gives me serious peace of mind knowing it exists, and I can shop to my heart's content. If you're traveling this Summer, do yourself a favor and invest in a foldable bag.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
