Maybe don’t be a child trapped in an adult’s body like me and ride around on your SWISSGEAR suitcase. People may stare. Sometimes I get bored waiting for photographers while they tinker with their light settings. Alex thought he could catch this moment to use to make fund of me later, but I actually love it so much. Who hasn’t sat on their suitcase at some point anyway, at least I know my SWISSGEAR is sturdy.

Summer is coming to an end and I haven’t left the state once. Quite a departure from last year’s “does Ria even live in Miami anymore?” comments. Don’t count me out yet, I’ve got a few things in my suitcase, if you know what I mean.

In the meantime, my suitcases have still been putting in work. Staycations anyone? Miami has some of the best hotels and I pounce at any opportunity or excuse for a staycation. Anniversaries, work perks, as a reward, even just cause…I’m packing my suitcase and headed on over. I went with this SWISSGEAR suitcase for its lightweight, durable, but sleek design. If I’m coming correct, my accessories have to as well. Don’t worry, there’s a lock on this baby if someone is eyeing your sleek suitcase a little too hard. I like to look like I’ve got it together from head to toe, to suitcase when I’m traveling. No matter if it’s a summer excursion or a boo, summer’s over local trip.

The round about #LiveLikeRia point I’m getting at here is chic luggage is a major key to the lifestyle. I chose this particular SWISSGEAR piece for its moderate size. It’s the 24″ middle option, giving myself more room than the small but not enough to get carried away. 360 wheels, another major key. Don’t be the person struggling to get your suitcase in the right direction just so you can move it. You’re welcome.
