Clare Press is a Contributing Editor at Holiday Goddess and she also happens to be a professional-level packer, which is why we asked her to share her best suitcase secrets for spring and summer 2013 holidays.

When she isn’t styling our suitcases, Clare writes for Vogue among other magazines and is currently receiving rave reviews for her style bible, The Dressing Table, published by Penguin/Lantern.
