I am launching a new weekly series called “It’s the Little Things.” These post will be compiled of little moments or photos that make me smile and hopefully brighten your day, too, because it is the little things that sometimes matter most!

Tomorrow is the first day of spring and here in New England, there are no signs of tulips.. unless they are under the snow. Normally, by now I have packed away my winter boots and heavier sweaters but have had the need to hang on to them for a few more weeks.
Layering is my favorite for unpredictable months like March because it can be 30 degrees in the morning and then 63 in the afternoon. I am loving this look from Serene Sky Boutique that kept me cozy and warm yet had enough versatility with layers to transform into a lighter outfit.

The spicy cravings during this pregnancy have continued and this dish satisfied the need for spicy yet is packed will vitamins with ingredients like kale, veggies and sweet potatoes. Sautéed shrimp was the perfect touch to this non-traditional stir fry.
Ingredients
– 1 cup Quinoa
– 2 cups kale
– 1 large sweet potato
– 10 oz shrimp (peeled and tailed)
– 2 tsp coconut oil
– 1/4 tsp hot sauce
Directions
Cook 1/2 cup quinoa as directed. In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tsp coconut oil and cook 10 oz peeled, shrimp until done and set aside. Return pan to medium-high and add 1 tsp coconut oil and chopped cooked sweet potato and kale. Add remaining quinoa and shrimp to the pan, along with 1/4 tsp hot sauce. Cook, stirring, until hot, 3 minutes. Enjoy!
One of my favorite looks from the Candy Stilettos lookbook on Serene Sky boutique is this burgundy and fringe style that exudes comfort and style. Even though it’s March, the temps have been in the 30’s so still hanging onto my boots and thicker tights for the season!

I am excited to share some of my favorite styles from the lookbook collaboration with Serene Sky Boutique a few weeks back and am so in love with their clothing. This Tied Dye poncho by Oh! So Cali Clothing was perfectly boho chic and made me feel so beautiful. I loved the way my hairdresser {Ashley Stone from Beauty Entourage} did the braided casual updo which really put together the look, along with neutral, soft makeup. Check out the entire lookbook here!
