For the last 20 years, the Pantone Color Institute had been assigning a color to the year that’s to come. Symbolic of the incoming trends in culture, fashion, and design, among others; each shade that’s carefully picked represents a sentiment that embodies “our collective experience and reflect what is taking place in our global culture at a moment in time.”

This year, that color is Living Coral, or Pantone 16-1546.

As the name implies, it’s a color we mostly expect to see under the sea. It is, according to Pantone, a hue which “embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment.”

But, we don’t just see this amazing color in submerged life forms. It’s a breathtaking shade we find in nature, in the beautiful world that surrounds us, and on our Instagram feeds. Here are a few breathtaking samples from our feed:

Of course, makeup is all up in this color jam. Coral classics have always existed, and here are some crowd favorites in this year’s Pantone pick.

Even on the runway, this mellow color has popped up. For the Spring 2019 collections, a number of designers like Marc Jacobs, Prada, Sies Marjan, and Zac Posen have worked in the shade.

Coral also took center stage in celebrity news and pop culture in the form of a tiny bikini in what has been dubbed as “the battle of the coral bikini.” Basically, Kourtney Kardashian and Sofia Richie, the ex and at-that-time beau of Scott Disick, were both spotted in Mexico with swimwear that looked way too similar.

In terms of impact, this item would probably have the least on this list, but those coral bikinis are still looking pretty cute to me

Even in tech, we saw the rise of this color slowly creeping in and taking the place of traditional gold and black color schemes — thank goodness!

The Pantone Institute justifies its color choice with the “innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits” that this color represents. They even go as far as saying that Living Coral symbolizes the  “authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy” — perfect at a time of fast-paced tech and the internet.

Rightly so, Panton explains that Living Coral is “a nurturing color that appears in our natural surroundings and at the same time, displays a lively presence within social media.”

After writing this feature, I can’t say I disagree.

Beauty queen, actress, and film producer Priyanka Chopra and singer, songwriter Nick Jonas have just tied the knot. In a beautiful four-day event held in India, the couple held two ceremonies — a western wedding and a traditional Hindi wedding — to celebrate their love.

The whirlwind romance shocked and inspired the world as it unraveled. It seemed like an unlikely match but the 36-year old Indian celebrity and 26-year old former boyband member have been unapologetic in their love. The couple looks like they belong in each other’s arms as they grace the cover of Vogue magazine — an image shot by the legendary Annie Leibovitz on a Google Pixel 3.

The newlyweds tell Vogue their love story. The first time Nick met Priyanka in person at the Oscar’s after party, he went on one knee and exclaimed, “You’re real. Where have you been all my life?”

One of the most special things that our relationship has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each other’s faiths and cultures. And so planning our wedding with an amalgamation of both was so so amazing. An important part of the pre wedding rituals for the girl in an Indian wedding is the Mehendi. Once again we made it our own and it was an afternoon that kicked off the celebrations in the way we both dreamed. @nickjonas

A year and a half into their relationship, Nick proposed. Their love story continues to this day.

Amidst beautiful gowns, lovely wedding ceremonies, and a huge 10-year age gap, they remain to be one of the most adorable couples out there. Here’s proof:

Congratulations, you two! ❤

I don’t know about you but I love receiving packages. Every time I get one, it feels like a gift. This may be why Casetify’s latest collab appeals to me so much.

Yes, folks. Phone accessory maker Casetify just released their latest collaboration and it’s with famous shipping company DHL. There are seven exclusive iPhone case designs to choose from in true “door to door aesthetic.” An added feature? These are Casetify’s Impact Cases meaning they are tough — will withstand shipping!

There’s even an option to personalize the case itself! The shipping label on your case can literally have your name on it.

Of course, my personal favorite is the glitter case because look at it!

There are also two special DHL designs for Apple Watch users to complete your look.

Starting today, these items are available on Casetify’s website and they all retail for US$ 45 to US$ 50 each. Upon purchase, DHL will, of course, deliver.
