Although I don't get to do it as much as I like, I lust to travel! Even if its just to another large city in my state (i.e: Nashville), I'm there! However, I do prefer the traveling that requires me to scrape up all my spare change and pile some fashion essentials into a suitcase and race to the airport to fly out of the 901 area code.

To stay on Stained Couture topic, I just adore girly, fun, and stylish luggage. The big, black trusty suitcases get the job done, but there is nothing like toting a cute, multi-colored suitcase to counteract  the uncuteness of  most traveling ensembles of sweats, sneaks, and tees. The brighter and cuter, the better! Plus, they are easier to spot when you land and see all the luggage being unloaded off the plane and you can rest assured that your neccesities safely made it, too! I once spotted my bright white, trimmed in black faux patent leather bag in all its chicness instantly while I was on the plane waiting to get off! Comforting, trust me! Plus, it's easier to spot on the conveyor belt and not get confused with someone else's luggage.

Here are a couple distinctive, cute and chic pieces of luggage. I even threw in one for the mini-traveling diva in your life!
