It seems like just yesterday, O So Chic! kicked-off the summer with Chic Vacation Week. Now we are approaching mid-August. Labor Day Weekend - the unofficial end of Summer - is right around the corner and Back-to-School ads are in overdrive. With summer rapidly winding down, there’s still time to squeeze in another chic vacation -- a tropical cruise! Cruising is a great last-minute getaway idea. You get the opportunity to sail the seas for days, maybe even weeks. By the time you are homeward bound, you may have up to 10 countries under your belt!

While traveling is fun, preparing for it can be a tad bit stressful. Packing for a trip is such a daunting task - especially for a cruise. With so many activities aboard this "floating resort" and the excursions at every port, there are so many outfits involved. Now that airlines are charging fines for extra checked-in luggage, it's all the more reason for you to pack smart!

It's so much easier for the gents! Remember this: Polo shirts and khakis are your BFF. Throw on a fedora and aviators for that extra dose of flyness. For Formal Dining, a suit will do.


Bon Voyage!
