What's in My Virtual Cart Right Now — Straight From an Editor Who Shops For a Living
The new year gives me a shopping bug big time, so I've spent the last two weeks perpetually scanning the racks at my favorite stores and watching hawk-eyed for new releases. From perfecting my 2018 wardrobe to nesting at home, these are the things — 13, to be exact — that, like a Britney Spears hit on the radio, I can't get out of my head. So, they've shot to the top of my list and straight into my cart — practical (albeit fashion-girl) heels, travel cases to keep me organized and tapped into my self-care routine, and a few cozy essentials to swap out tired sweaters, since, well, it seems Winter is here for a while. Read on for the things I'm shopping right now.
