Jackie O shows how to travel in style (photo: BrownsFashion.com)

A cruise is a great excuse to show off your flair on the road. Some fun, flirty frocks, a new bathsuit (or three), a coverup that heads straight from the pool or beach to cocktails, some colorful accessories, and off you go. The reward for overpacking is that you leave lots of room to bring home some fun new fashion finds.

Some great items for a cruise capsule wardrobe:

• Sundress (Emilio Pucci at Brownsfashion.com)
• Heels (Christian Louboutin Zeppa raffia wedges - Net-a-Porter.com)
• Stylish, Lightweight Purse (Murval nylon Parisian Wallpaper Kelly-style bag - GiveSimple.com)
• Eyecatching, Easy-Pack Accessories (lucite bamboo link bracelet - AlexisBittar.com)

• Classy Swimsuit (HeidiKlein.com)
• Oversized Sunglasses (OliverPeoples.com)
• Pooside Tote (LLBean.com)

• Enormous Glam Sunhat (Kokin - NeimanMarcus.com)
• Chic, Cocktail-worthy Coverup (Silk habotai mini kaftan - AllegraHicks.com)
• Flats (Paul Smith Genesis - Zappos.com)
