How pretty are the nail polish colors from Dior’s “The Mitzah Collection” for spring 2023?! This fun collection for the upcoming warm weather season features two vibrant hues and a soft top coat. Pink Leopard by Dior is a bright pink which is both spicy and light-hearted. Leopardess is a light burgundy which offers classic vibes and makes a great transitional color to wear now, in the winter season, and well into the spring season. If you like these colors, but want to soften them up, Dior has a limited edition top coat named Pearl which adds a softening coat of clear white and subtle sparkle. It is very pretty!

I tested out both colors with one base coat, two coats of nail polish, and with the Pearl top coat. You can wear these colors with, or without, the top coat; depending on the look you want to wear this spring season. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are the nail polish colors for spring 2023 from Dior.

Dior Leopardess nail polish is a classic, dark red nail polish which borders on a light burgundy. This chic hue is perfect for daily wear and can easily be worn in the office. As we move into the winter season, it is a fabulous color to wear now in order to add a little bit of spring to our personal style when the skies are grey. If you are looking for a nail polish hue you can wear day into evening, and works in a professional setting, this is your spring 2023 nail color!

Pink is always pretty! Pink Leopard nail polish is a bright pink hue which adds some fun to the spring season. If you want a playful shade for the spring season, Pink Leopard is your nail polish in 2023. I love this color to brighten up the day and some warmth to my overall look. I plan on wearing this color most of the time in the spring season! Love!

If you want to add sparkle, or soften up your nail color, Pearl is the perfect top coat. At first glance, Pearl appears to be a stand-alone nail polish, but it is actually a top coat. When it first glides on over your nail color, it looks like it is adding a white coat to the polish, but as soon as it dries, it is a clear coat with a soft, sparkling sheen. This is a great way to liven up Leopardess or soften the bright tone of Pink Leopard. You can also try it on other nail polish colors you may have at home, in case Leopardess or Pink Leopard are not calling your name.

What to pack in a carry on bag

what to pack in carry-on bag travel essentials

Travel essentials from top left: scarf (this doubles as blanket on a plane) / compact travel iron / sturdy backpack (stays on when running to connecting flights!) / suitcase lock (keep your stuff safe!) / neck pillow (must have for sleeping on the plane) / water bottle (fill up after you go through TSA) / suitcase set (great price!) / luggage tags (bright tags are easy to see in baggage claim)

Wondering what to pack in your carry-on bag for an upcoming flight? If you are like me, you will want to bring a backpack to store under the seat in front of you, and a small, TSA approved suitcase for the overhead bin. In the suitcase, you are likely to have your handbags, anything expensive or of value, and TSA approved sized toiletries.

When it comes to the bag you stow underneath the seat in front of you, chances are, you will want items which make your flight more comfortable; especially if it is a long flight or a red eye! I have found, I only need a few items to make my flight comfortable, especially since I tend to take red eye flights when I go back east.

I like to attempt sleep when I fly, therefore, a scarf which doubles as a blanket, and a neck pillow, are must-haves. I have tried several neck pillows, and most of them slip off or don’t provide any comfort for my neck. The one pictured above, actually does! It has Velcro to secure the ends together and it can spin around on your neck so you are able to find the ideal thickness for your nap. It also folds into a little bag which can hang from the zipper on your backpack; just in case your backpack is stuffed to capacity.

When it comes to packing, sometimes I like to stuff as much as I can into my carry-on suitcase, this little travel iron saves the day from the inevitable wrinkles which occur from an overstuffed suitcase. It fits nicely into a carry-on bag. I don’t trust hotel irons, so this one is a life-saver. Love it!

A lot of travelers seem to like large tote bags to stuff under the seat in front of them, if you feel secure and comfortable with a tote, you do you, that being said, I find backpacks more comfortable and practical. A sturdy backpack will keep your items secure, and if you have a tight layover, a backpack is easy to put on and not worry about while running to a connecting flight. I will not fly with a tote, only a backpack. It is a must-have for me. The backpack I use isn’t made anymore, but the one pictured above is the same as my daughters and it is fabulous. She uses it to carry a heavy laptop at school and for flying. She loves it, so I highly recommend it!

In addition to what is pictured above, I always have a TSA approved hand cream in my backpack because my hands always get dry on the plane; plus the soap in airport bathrooms is always drying.

What are your carry-on travel essentials?

Happy travels!
