Rachel Zoe finally explains what she needed 13 suitcases for…

A few weeks ago we showed you a picture of a luggage cart carrying no less than 13 suitcases belonging to celebrity stylist and designer Rachel Zoe. We firmly established that she is definitely not a light packer, but she finally explained what she used them for. You ready to find out?

“I was basically gone from Los Angeles for five weeks,” she told InStyle.com. “I was in New York for two weeks, London for a week and a half and Paris for a week and a half. So, it’s all different climates. It’s a lot of stuff.”

We understand climate differences as much as the next person (even more so thanks to our unseasonable weather of late) and even though we still think 13 is a tad excessive, we mustn’t forget that she had her adorable little man Skyler on board too.

“He had all his clothes, too. He changes two or three times a day. I mean, there’s spit up involved. You have to have changes on hand.”

Spit up and climate change? Ok, we’ll let her off then!
