Cruises are a chic and fun way to get away from it all for a few days but what is a girl
to wear on the seas of high adventure?
Well you don't have to worry because fashion and lifestyle expert Alison Deyette is here
and today with her we have our beautiful staff members
getting ready to go on a cruise.
You work with all the big people in Hollywood and are a life style consultant but what is
a person to do if they want to not spend a lot of money but still be chic?
Well what's so great is that so many of those top designers have secondary lines that are
just as chic but less expensive.
For example Kate Spade now has Kate Spade Saturday, which I love, it's fun and young
and there is Simply Vera at Kohl's or Polo from Ralph Lauren!
So you can access some of those coveted brands for less and build a great wardrobe.
And of course if were talking cruise wardrobe you want something that works double duty.
Jessica is wearing a very fun printed dress from the Kardashian collection that is on
sale for twenty bucks at Sear's.
This is what I mean by double duty because she can wear this at night for dinner and
then the next day as a cover up for her swim suit.
Her bag is from Soul Society which is a twofer, there is a clutch which she can hand off to
Ari, and that becomes her nighttime wear on the cruise.
And then we look at those beautiful shoes on Jessica, 49 dollars.
We actually did a poll on Ask.com and out of 100 million users every month the most
popular destination was the Mediterranean.
Next is Arianna, this beautiful cowl neck dress is from Ann Taylor for 79 dollars, love
adding the printed belt to spice it up.
As you can see we took the Soul Society clutch that came from one bag and now she gets it
as a twofer with another outfit.
Her wedges are also from Soul Society, very chic.
Cruises often have that formal night but the fabric is very comfy and I did want to say
because there is always an endless buffet, and that all inclusive nature is one of the
strongest searches on Ask.com, so I did want to say that you might want to pack a little
body shaper.
This is my favorite right now, it's the Skinny Shaper, one of Rachel Zoe's must haves from
Jockey.
No one needs to know you're wearing it but it makes everything smoother underneath.
The strongest searches were for Royal Caribbean which beat out Princess and Carnival.
Malena, it is from the Canvas line from Lan Zen, it's 35 dollars and a great layering
piece for the plane on the way to the cruise.
The long skirt is from H&M also 35, again you can roll this up, put it in your bag and
it comes out virtually wrinkle free.
First of all a cabin on the cruise is small and no one wants to iron on vacation.
She also has a fun little Soul Society necklace; my assistant picked it out and said the mirrors
are also great to check yourself out in.
Then cute little striped wedges that match the top from Ann Taylor.
And again she has a Soul Society bag like a tote that is big enough for an excursion
because you want to pack not only for the cruise but also for
the excursions off the cruise.
