By: Maryam of Roaminheels  Packing for a trip can be challenging especially when deciding whether to roll or fold clothes. Rolling Clothes usually saves more space. Allowing you to pack more,  and can reduce wrinkles for synthetic fabrics, though it may take longer to do well. However, some items, like bulky sweaters or clothing with buttons and collars, are better folded to avoid creasing or taking up too much space. Using a combination of rolling and folding, along with packing aids like cubes or compression sacks, often results in the best packing strategy. Ultimately, the choice of packing method depends on the type of clothing, available space, and personal preferences regarding speed and wrinkle prevention. Maximizing Space When Traveling When it comes to packing, we all want to fit as much as possible into our luggage, right? It's a common goal, especially if you're trying to avoid checking a bag or are heading out on an extended trip where laundry is a must. T...

After trying styles and discussing with fashion editors, they still support the choice.

This is not just a minor detail or an accessory, but the main focus of the outfit. As I see  this trend gaining popularity on social media and in conversations, they feel validated in promoting pink as the standout choice for the celebration. The fashion world, in my view, is ...

  In today's world, traveling is both easier and more complicated due to geopolitical issues, health crises, and natural disasters. Understanding travel risks is important for anyone planning a trip. The term "red list country" has become popular, but its meaning can be confusing. This blog post will explain what red list countries are, why some nations are included, and provide practical advice for safer travel. It aims to help both experienced travelers and first-timers navigate high-risk destinations. Understanding the Concept of Red List Countries A red list country is a place considered very dangerous for travelers, typically classified as Level 4: "Do Not Travel" by organizations like the U. S. Department of State. This classification acts as a warning about serious threats to safety.  The concept of color-coded travel risks is not new, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic when the UK used a traffic light system to manage travel based on infection rates.

           When preparing for a long flight, it's important to choose an outfit that keeps you relaxed and stylish throughout the journey. Aim for layers that can adjust to changes in cabin temperatures and select breathable fabrics that are not restrictive.  Choosing the right bottoms is key to comfort and style. Leggings are great for maximum comfort; look for high-stretch fabrics that keep you dry and feature a wide, elastic waistband. Pairing dark or patterned leggings with a long tunic can create a chic look. If you prefer jeans, opt for "comfort stretch" or "travel" jeans made with elastane for easier movement. Mid-rise or high-rise styles are best to avoid discomfort while sitting, and it's good to wear them a few times before the trip. Other options include tailored joggers, culottes or wide-leg pants, and wrinkle-resistant midi skirts, which can also be combined with leggings.  For your tops, choose items that are polished yet provide str...
