We gave a cruise to my folks for their 50th anniversary, but my Dad wouldn't go, so Mom didn't either.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've wondered about cruising to Hawaii--that's a lot of days at sea. Maybe I should reconsider.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you looked all the time. I think I'm going to reread your planning etc. so I can do a better job packing the next time I cruise.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----back-from-my-hawaii-cruise-long/page/2#post-1436708 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:37:26 +0000 CocoLion 1436708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Moving backwards…</p> <p><b>Susie</b>, true! &nbsp;It's not like I didn't have the room for the extra booties. &nbsp;And I did actually wear them on the 3 days after the cruise we tacked on in San Francisco.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I missed you and everyone too! &nbsp;There was internet at sea but it averaged around 50&nbsp;cents per minute and it could take up to 5 minutes to load a page.</p> <p><b>Laurie</b>, book that cruise! &nbsp;There are lots of shorter cruises if you can't commit to 15 days.</p> <p><b>Texstyle</b>, I think the color palette would work on a variety of complexions and hair colors.</p> <p><b>Sara L.</b>, I rolled most of my clothes and it's amazing how much you can pack in the suitcase. &nbsp;And -- it comes out relatively unwrinkled. &nbsp;(White button downs excepted.)</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, the beach at Nawiliwili was my favorite in Hawaii. &nbsp;I would take Kauai over Maui now (Maui used to be my favorite but now it seems so over-developed). &nbsp;I failed to mention that I got attacked by mama chickens when I was picking pinecones…</p> <p><b>Astrid</b>, I hope one day you can make it to Hawaii too. &nbsp;Not too many Europeans on board, mostly US, Canada, UK&nbsp;and China.</p> <p><b>Viva</b>, Princess Cruises is having 50th Anniversary specials -- and I know you can get last-minute deals. &nbsp;You should plan something with Mom now! &nbsp;What else can I do to&nbsp;enable you? &nbsp;:-)</p> <p><b>Kimberly</b>, I loved cruising the "Mar Pacifico" -- you need to check it out!</p> <p><b>Tanya</b>, the lace-up sandals picked up the stripes in the skirt, and they have a graphic nature as well. &nbsp;I'm glad you liked them too! &nbsp;I think they will fit right in with the Boho trend of 2015.</p> <p><b>Diane G</b>, I was surprised at how many UK guests there were. &nbsp;All fearless about catching rays even on cooler days. &nbsp;And enjoying a pint while doing it.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, thank you for the kind comments about the WIWs, but the thought of -23 weather is so distracting that's all I can think about now. &nbsp;I have no idea what that feels like -- maybe&nbsp;the kind of weather my brother deals with on his Himalayan expeditions?</p> <p><b>Celia</b> and <b>Shevia</b>, thank you &lt;3</p> <p><b>Rute</b>, I want to try the Italian coast cruise too! &nbsp;It will have to wait a while, as I can't take any time off in the Summer. &nbsp;Something to think of for retirement?</p> <p><b>Unfrumped</b>, my Mom and I are trying to plan a multi-generational cruise to be taken within the next year or two. We're not that creative so we're just thinking about doing the same Hawaii trip again. &nbsp;(Plus we love Hawaii.) &nbsp;I'm glad to hear yours was a success.</p> <p><b>Kkards</b>, see comment to Viva!</p> <p><b>Jjsloane</b>, I'm glad you appreciated the "deals" nature of my pre-cruise shopping, it kept my shopping on-task for a few months. &nbsp;The biggest disappointment was the Allsaints dresses but at least I could return them.</p> <p><b>Karie</b>, my question about the Alaska cruises is this: &nbsp;mosquitos? &nbsp;Just kidding, they might be on my radar if I didn't have to work 6 days a week in the Summer. &nbsp;I've heard people really love the Alaska trips.</p> <p><b>Jenanded&nbsp;</b>and <b>StyleFan</b>, thank you &nbsp;The planning was instructive as the time invested upfront was saved later on. &nbsp;I could dress for any occasion, very quickly.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----back-from-my-hawaii-cruise-long/page/2#post-1436526 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 15:40:39 +0000 Susie 1436526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is no doubt that you were the most stylishly dressed woman on board that ship!

What a smashing vacation wardrobe. And I'm so glad you had a great time! I love all the photos, and I recognized that view in 6/7 right away -- we've stayed at that Marriott twice, and some of the most relaxing moments of my life were spent in those lounge chairs on that beach. Ah, to be back there right now... (it's 16 degrees here counting wind chill right now).

Thank you for this wonderful post. It really has me wishing I could do something like this with my mother. I know she would love it. And she just got one of those walkers with the built-in seat for her wobbly moments, so she would be right on trend! </p> <p>I love all the pictures of you - you looks so incredibly elegant. My favorites are 4,6,9 and 13. The jewelry is killing me -- it is so amazing and such an incredible legacy from your mother! And as for your wardrobe, I want those back laceup sandals, your Splendid skirt, the Vince tunic/dress/whatever-it-is, and the AYR jeans. I'd take the Adrianne Papel dress too, but I would need your body to fill it out. You look stunning in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----back-from-my-hawaii-cruise-long#post-1436458 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 14:15:17 +0000 Kimberley 1436458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Denise - thanks for sharing the pictures from your cruise...it looks like you packed very well.&nbsp; I especially love the sheath dress with the necklace and blue wrap - gorgeous!&nbsp; We have cruised with Princess five or six times and always love it.&nbsp; Now I think we need to do Hawaii! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----back-from-my-hawaii-cruise-long#post-1436447 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 14:04:14 +0000 Tanya 1436447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Denise, so glad you had an amazing time.&nbsp; Thank you for sharing the photos, especially the ones of the nature, they are beautiful.<br />I am sure you were one of the best dressed guests on the ship.&nbsp; You chose a great capsule, I especially like the lace up sandals and Splendid skirt.&nbsp; And what a treat to see you in those formal dresses, you look very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----back-from-my-hawaii-cruise-long#post-1436446 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:49:03 +0000 Anonymous 1436446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all the pics Denise.

You looked absolutely glowing and it is clear you were having fun with fashion! Love your carefully built capsule; it served you beautifully in every way. That Splendid skirt lives up to its name (gorgeous on you!) and the SE lace up sandals are fantabulous on you! Wow! I can't pick a favourite outfit, really -- each one is great. The last formal outfit with mom's necklace is spectacular, and I really love that TT purple dress on you. Glad it worked.&nbsp;</p> <p>I glanced at the Hawaii photos but need to have more coffee before I can handle more. It is -23 here this morning.... &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----back-from-my-hawaii-cruise-long#post-1436428 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:27:28 +0000 celia 1436428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits and beautiful pictures.I am so glad you had a great time with mom and enjoyed while you are young(#15 made me smile)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----back-from-my-hawaii-cruise-long#post-1436422 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:17:57 +0000 Jaime 1436422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and Hawaii look terrific!

Great cruise capsule.<br /> Make me want to buy tickets!<br /> Went on a multigenerational cruise with parents, grandparents, teen/tweenagers about 15 yrs ago and should repeat.
