    Welcome to this week's roundup of the best sale finds from across the web. As a shopping editor, a large chunk of my day is spent scrolling my favorite retailers—and every Friday, I'm sharing what I've uncovered so you can scoop up the best of this week's sales.

    In less than two weeks, I'm heading off to multiple European cities on a family vacation, so this is my last chance to score travel essentials . In an effort not to overpack, I found versatile, staple spring pieces, from button-down shirts and trendy sneakers to jeans and light spring jackets . I'm deeming the picks below my spring travel capsule wardrobe, plus they'll be great additions to my warm-weather wardrobe when I return.

    Puma Palermo Leather Casual Shoes (Were $90)

    I've made the mistake of wearing heels on vacation far too many times, so I prioritize comfy walking shoes over anything else.
