Funny camera story too... we have lost a camera more than once and not always had it returned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-636368 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 17:14:55 +0000 ramya 636368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wolf Whistles... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-636359 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 17:00:58 +0000 ManidipaM 636359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Vix, Kirti, thanks again. I don't pull out the dresses often, so it's always fun to do!</p> <p>Angie, would it surprise you that I was delighted with Singapore's weather this time, after the pressure-cooker climate of Calcutta and the searing heat of Delhi? The other day we were recording 45 degrees Celsius (113 fahrenheit) --- at 8.30pm! Singapore felt more like a warm balmy breeze in comparison, even with walking about in the sun all day! Though of course the lack of too much pollution and the air-conditioned breaks in the subway system certainly helped a LOT too.</p> <p>Incidentally, I used to find Singapore's high-fashion street style quite intimidating at first. This time, I found myself enjoying it a lot more --- having vicarious fun with the fashion. I also found myself gaping less and trying to imagine the personality and lifestyle behind the look more --- like the young lady in grey rubber flip-flops and a lace LBD off to work with her business-like black satchel: did she use the flip-flops for comfort while walking through a messier neighbourhood like Little India and then switch to heels hidden in her bag once she arrived at work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-636351 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 16:56:43 +0000 Kirti 636351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yiu are a bombshell! You look amazing in each dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-636300 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 15:35:27 +0000 Vix 636300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Manidipa --</p> <p>Glad the work trip had some pleasure mixed in and the camera reappeared. </p> <p>Despite the weather challenges, I think hair and outfits were an overall success! I'm with Christieanne on especially loving #3 on you but they are all great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-636232 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 14:15:14 +0000 Angie 636232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look pretty, elegant and lady-like in these outfits, Manidipa. Your hair looks great to me! Windswept! I'm glad that you had a fab time - which did not have to include the pool :)</p> <p>I know that neck of the woods quite well - Sing and Malaysia (visited many, many times). Gorgeous and the food is sublime. Weather - relentlessly sticky </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-636083 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 04:33:33 +0000 ManidipaM 636083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome!</p> <p>I DID enjoy the cruise, even if I had to fast-forward through it (no time to inhabit any of the 11 pools, swimsuit sat forlorn in suitcase --- le sigh)! I love being on water and the ship (Royal Caribbean's Voyager) is huge and lots of fun. Great ice skating performances. Lovely live music in lounges and on the promenade. Good food in shocking quantities and varieties. I managed to stay on board even on a port day, declining the offered excursion to Kuala Lumpur (been there, done that, enough times) --- and had the ship to myself... but for about another 1000-odd people who had the same idea! </p> <p>Shevia, thanks for the empathy! By the time this cruise was done, I was determined to march back to the salon and ask for a short crop as this was just.not.working. Thankfully, it began to behave better on land, so I can put that off for a while!</p> <p>Claire, I am so proud of my shoes, it's actually funny. The bronze sandals got gouged in the wedge heel, in Singapore at some point --- hoping a DIY fix with a slice of wine cork will take care of it! All I need to do is locate a bottle. That should be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-636050 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 03:38:21 +0000 goldenpig 636050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you enjoyed the cruise even if it was work! Glad you got your camera back! You look lovely in all the photos esp. #1--pretty dress and sandals! I love your hair curly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635961 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 01:38:23 +0000 Sveta 635961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely, Manidipa. Hooray for 2 pairs of comfy shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635918 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 00:41:49 +0000 Jaime 635918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your outfits, I think the middle one is my favorite with the shawl. And I do not just sympathize with your hair - I empathize! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635869 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 23:28:35 +0000 Kiwichik 635869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look suitably glamorous for a cruise. Love all 3 looks especially #1. I think your new cut is still looking fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635722 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 20:15:35 +0000 Anonymous 635722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Moni! I'm glad your new sandals and sling-backed pumps ended up working out! I was on the edge of my seat over your shoe issues. Whew! Now I can exhale!</p> <p>Thanks for the great story, and the pictures that *did* get taken are quite fab! The cami under the first dress is the perfect shade and I love how the sandals pick up the dark tones in the print. Lovely! You can really rock a LBD! I love these both, and they are as flattering to you as they are stylish. Love your wraps as well! I hope you had some fun on your working cruise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635718 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 20:11:27 +0000 Kari 635718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those bronze Clarks are so elegant, and and I LOVE your dresses. So glad that you got your camera back - what a relief! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635714 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 20:08:55 +0000 christieanne 635714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rocking those dresses! #1 is a gorgeous print. Seems as if that one could go so many places if you dressed it up or down so to speak. And I like your retro vibe in #3 - very hourglass :)<br /> I think your haircut still looks fabulous as well despite your claims of frizz and non-cooperation Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635694 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:50:57 +0000 CocoLion 635694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is so fab, what a perfect hot-weather-into-cold-AC ensemble. And I love the LBD in picture #3, so flattering. I, too, was wondering where is ManidipaM? Glad to hear you are on a "working" cruise (I want your job!)</p> <p>ETA: I always suspected there was more benefit to taking pictures of yourself than vanity or at least "self-improvement" and there it is -- you retrieved your camera! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635672 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:32:17 +0000 Astrid 635672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did wonder where you were... glad to see you again!

I love all three outfits. Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-cruise-before-camera-overboard-1#post-635405 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:43:02 +0000 ManidipaM 635405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the awful pictures, few as they are. Seemed I was always rushing from one meeting to another---and lost my camera as well!</p> <p>Well, no, I didn't exactly drop it in the drink, but I did well and truly misplace it (left it in the ladies'... ::blush::) for a crucial *few* hours of my 3-day 'working' cruise.</p> <p>It was just a quick Singapore-Malaysia (Port Kelang)-Singapore round trip. And all I have to show for it is the outfit I came aboard in (so wore through the first day as baggage and I both reached my cabin late), and the LBDs I wore to dinner the next two nights (smart casual and formal dress codes respectively). During the days, I was in jeans and summer tops... all of which strangely suffered unfortunate encounters with assorted colours of frozen yogurt before photos could be taken. Um. Yeah.</p> <p>These few photos actually helped me claim my camera back, though, after a kind lady (BLESS her heart!) found and returned it to the guest relations desk. They wanted photographic evidence it was indeed mine --- so thank goodness for these awful mirror portraits!</p> <p>Also, a HUGE thank you to everyone who suggested Clarks for me. Those two shoes --- the bronze sandal and black 'slingback janes' --- were life savers, especially the former, which tromped around Singapore for 3 days, morning to late night, after the cruise too. (Sorry to report the Naturalizers were not a success. Will have to search for heel protectors and gel cushions for my toes, and hope they salvage those shoes!)</p> <p>Btw, this is also photographic evidence that my hair has a mind of its own, a la Medusa. At first it decided to frizz and curl, then it decided to go every which way so that I tied it back, and finally it chose to fall flat... </p>
