Spring 2014 Fashionable Colors

Spring 2014 Fashionable Colors

Every season, Pantone releases a series of colors that become a big hit in the design and fashion worlds (you can see the post I created last spring about the chosen Pantone colors). This season, their colors are both soft and vibrant, and a great way to inspire any girl’s wardrobe. In their collection, they included soft pastels like Violet Tulip, Placid Blue and Hemlock (a lovely light green). They incorporated a neutral color, Sand, which is reminiscent of beautiful sandy beaches. Colors like Freesia (yellow), Celosia Orange and Cayenne (red), are feisty and festive and sure way to get you longing for the warm summer sun. Finally, Dazzling Blue and Radiant Orchid (like my prescription glasses) are funky bold colors added to the mix to make the collection pop!

What to Pack for a 4 Night Caribbean Cruise

What to Pack for a 4 Night Caribbean Cruise

Media rates and, in some cases, comped activities were provided to showcase this venue properly. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. All photos of April taken by my roommate on the Royal Caribbean Cruise, Arena of The Nerd’s Wife unless otherwise noted.

I somehow convinced my husband, Kevin to watch my nearly 9 month old daughter while I went a Royal Caribbean Cruise on the 3rd largest cruise ship in the world, Liberty of the Seas with a bunch of my mom blogging friends. Needless to say, he is the best hubby in the world and I should be thankful for him everyday. Sometimes, I need to be reminded how lucky I am and this 4 night Royal Caribbean Cruise was a reminder how awesome he is. He even wrote an awesome blog post for me while I was gone…check it out…it’s funny and sweet. OK…enough raving about how awesome Kevin is and back to the Cruise Packing!

I spent weeks researching what to pack for a cruise watching YouTube Videos and reading tons of blogs and websites preparing to pack. It took me about a week to pack all with the goal of putting together an awesome go to guide to cruise packing for my readers. I hope that my hard work saves you time and money and allows you to enjoy your cruise.
