By now you MUST have heard my 10,000 watt excitement for my upcoming birthday cruise with Royal Caribbean Cruises, and since all my girlfriends wanted to know what they should pack for the trip, I decided to enlist the help of my trusted stylist Nelly Wadia (and her munchkin assistant Yeansha Lodha) for the job! Here’s what they came up with and we had SUCH a blast shooting with our brand new flixel swag! So here’s our list of what to pack and wear if you’re going on a cruise!
*Flixel = Living Photos (sounds dope right?!)

1. Dress Nautical!

Make sure you have at least one fancy outfit (all cruises have at least one super formal evening, if its a 4 day cruise and two if its 7.) Go for a cute little party dress or a fun gown in a pop colour, like this gorgeous gown by Monisha Jaising. (Obviously we went glazmataz!)

Probably the most important thing to pack is a classy tropical swimsuit, make sure to bring a nice wrap or sarong to accompany it. We went with H&M & The Beach Company!

A cute romper (like this one from Lola by Suman B) makes for the perfect sundowner, wear it with a kimono or as is. Props if they are bright coloured or printed!
