blairelebon asked: Hi Carly! 2 of my friends and I were accepted to the American Ballet Theatre Summer Intensive in Texas this year! We are so excited but since the tuition/boarding are so expensive, I don't have a lot of money to spend on luggage and I still don't own my own suitcase! I need a really cheap one but it also has to be super cute. If anyone can find what I'm looking for it's you, so can you help me out? Also, what do you suggest I pack besides dance stuff? We will be staying in UTexas dorms. Thanks!

When it comes to suitcases, definitely make sure you’re getting quality.  There’s nothing worse than arriving in the airport and finding a broken handle or a rip!

The LL Bean rolling duffel (apparently it’s duffel or duffle? weird) might just be what you need!  My roommate sophomore year had every single size and I’m not kidding she packed practically everything for the dorm room in them.  They’re quite roomy!
