in my suitcase...

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I’m currently overseas, visiting New Zealand and 

Australia(!!). It’s my first time visiting this little corner of the world and I couldn’t be more excited to have Dan by my side for the trip. 

Of course, aside from the inevitable, “What do we do first?” I’ve been scheming for quite some time about exactly what I would be packing for this little adventure of ours. Since it’s the middle of spring over there and most of our itinerary involves lots of walking, hiking, and even the occasional jumping out of a plane (more on that later), I wanted to make sure each piece I packed was functional but still chic. 

Here’s a little peek at what I’ve brought along for the ride … including the most amazing piece of luggage ever by Rimowa. This guy is holding my life for the next two weeks — and will be by my side during the holidays, too, when I will be visiting loved ones. There's something to be said about a sturdy suitcase (especially one this well designed) -- I tend to be an over packer for most trips, so it's nice to know my things are in good hands.
