One thing we love about Summer travel: warm destinations mean fewer clothes to pack, and fewer clothes mean smaller luggage. Even for longer Summer getaways, you can usually squeeze by with a carry-on, avoiding baggage fees and fears of lost luggage. These carry-ons will keep you organized and contain everything you need for your vacation. Better yet, a lot of them are on sale.

The secret is simply good planning: If you decide what to wear before you leave, you'll have no reason to overpack. By employing a few smart strategies, you should be able to fit everything you need in one small piece of luggage—such as this Roxy Van Karmen 22-inch Roller, available for $135 here—whether you're going away for two days or two weeks. Here are some tips to help you become a super packer.

I know, I know, it's only Wednesday, but I'm already looking forward to the Labor Day Weekend. And an excellent weekend getaway deserves a great weekend bag. The ideal suitcase should be small enough to act as an airplane carry on but big enough to hold a pair of dressy shoes or sandals and a few essential mix and match clothing elements, such as a dress and a few tops. Here are some fabulous looks to try:
The wide, boxy shape of this Barneys Classic Carry-On Duffel is ideal for stuffing with just a few key pieces and the necessary cosmetics. You can buy it here for $445.
If you tend to pack a heavier load, look like a wayward urbanite while wheeling around this Liz Claiborne Luggage Soho Metallic Wheeled Weekender, available here for $129.99.
