I'm a Fashion Editor and These 19 Practical Home Items Make My Life Easier
When I started thinking about what kind of holiday gifts people actually want to receive after this crazy year, one word came to mind: practical. Okay, well, a few more words also popped into my brain, including helpful, time-saving, stress-reducing, and space-saving. And that's how I ended up making this list of all the various home items that fall into these categories.
One of the items I included is actually my newest purchase: a robot vacuum. (Yes, I passed up the Net-a-Porter sale in favor of a home sale—does that mean I'm officially an adult?) It's the kind of purchase that saves you precious time and checks something off your to-do list with little to no effort. Now that's my kind of buy. Scroll down to shop some of my favorite practical home items.
This little organizer for your blow dryer, flat iron, and brush is genius. For years I used a random mug to hold my toothbrush and toothpaste, but I'm very glad I upgraded to a much more stylish organizer. Yes, a simple wooden tray can turn your bath into a spa. I use these cheeky hooks to hang my face masks.Would you make fun of me if I told you I have no patience for stovetop kettles? This electric one is chic and easier for lazy people like me. Proof that even ice cube trays can be cute. Once you get a hamper on wheels, you'll never go back to canvas bags. A robot vacuum saves me so much time picking up dog hair and everything else. This helps me make use of a very underutilized space: the side of my fridge. Instead of ordering out, I use this whisk to make my own matcha lattes nice and frothy. I converted an alcove in my bedroom into an extra closet space by putting a shoe rack on the bottom and mounting a clothes rack on top. Living in Los Angeles where I can see pollution with my own eyes, I've always been a big believer in air purifiers. It particularly helps with my allergies every spring. I use oversized baskets to store my pillows and blankets. This is a supremely functional drying rack that can be easily folded up and stored away in small kitchens like mine. Yes, I know it's a trivial problem, but I am always hesitant to open a champagne bottle because I usually don't finish the whole thing and then the bubbles go flat. This preserver solves the issue. Over-the-door storage is such a lifesaver, especially in my small bathroom. This is how to utilize every square inch!Jewelry stands save me from a mess of tangled necklaces. This shelf is such a simple yet amazing way to save precious counter space. I don't have a green thumb, to say the least, but I don't want to always settle for fake flowers and plants. This cute self-watering garden solves that quandry.
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...

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...
