Apr 17, 2019 Vacation means editing down your closet to the best of the best, and tight suitcase space typically demands that only the most vital accessories make the journey.

For women born between 1987 and 1992, Lizzie McGuire is a Millennial idol. She was the bedazzled, bandana-wearing, “I want a bra!” screaming sherpa who guided us through our adolescence, filling a void the Olsens twins left (who was then followed by another star, Hannah Montana).
