I am not a great packer. I aspire to be one of those people who flits away for a weekend and can produce stunning outfits from a tiny piece of luggage. I am not that girl. I have read articles about how to pack, the types of luggage to buy and how to fold clothing correctly but to no avail. Most of the time I end up with a too heavy bag and nothing to wear. While this problem is a combination of luggage and clothing; I think having the right suitcase can help lead to accurate packing. Over the past year and half in Romania, I've been traveling a far bit and I can admit I have become a bit better at packing. However, I am still lacking the right luggage.
This summer I went to Germany. I brought the one rolling suitcase that I own which in the States has always fit in the overhead bins, but I discovered in Europe the bins are smaller. Thus it rendered my carry-on not that. I have now found myself in the market for a smaller suitcase that will actually fit in smaller overhead bins. I also am the kind of girl that will fill space if I have it, so limiting the size is a must for my success.
I was recently inspired but an advert for The Container Store and have been looking around to see what my options are. Here is some luggage that is currently inspiring me:

| Orla Kiely Travel Set from Garnet Hill $138 - $305 |

| Rolling Tote from The Container Store - $169 |

| A la Carte Bagg from The Container Store - $69 (this is made to stack on the Rolling Tote above) |
