Guess what tomorrow is? 

Friday AND the first day of March! Woo hoo, we made it through February!!

When you are from New England or any other cold part of the country it is almost a must to try and go some place warm in the winter months.

The best part of getting away to a warm climate in February is escaping the cold. 

The worst part about getting away to a warm climate in February, is that you when you return, it is STILL February.  

Since my return to the arctic tundra I have resumed wearing my comfy cozies. Lots of leggings and fleece tops! This peach varsity top from Dottie couture has quickly become one of this seasons favorites!

Happy Tuesday!! 

It is Tuesday, right?  I am still in vacation mode, it is so hard to reenter reality. 

If you know me, or are an avid reader of S&S, you know I love me some accessories, especially  Sunglasses and watches. I personally believe that they really finish a look, or take it the extra mile. 

When MVMT reached out for a collab, I was ecstatic! 

MVMT is really all the rage. I had been hearing about them from friends and other bloggers and dying to try their products. 

Co-founders Jake Kassan and Kramer LaPlant set out to disrupt the over priced and outdated models of the fashion industry. Through the power of crowd funding Jake and Kramer were able to bring their original watch line bringing quality, minimalist designs at fair and competitive prices. 

Inspired by the go-getters, innovators, the dreamers; their designs embody that very spirit,

Through Social media, MVMT has blown up, growing far beyond their home in Los Angeles.

There products have expanded from watched to sunglasses and jewelry.

Happy Valentines Day!

I hope you are all enjoying time with loved ones today.
We are leaving for Florida at 7 am tomorrow, I am up to my ears in packing , so it is pretty low key for us. I can not wait to be in the warm weather, and thankfully it is supposed to be beautiful!

Polka dot is definitely one of the most underrated prints. I am so drawn to it, and when I see a piece in polka dot, I almost always buy it. One would think I had a closet with a sea of polka dot, but I do not.  It is still completely outweighed by the amount of plaid, stripes and animal print that I own.

I have worn this top a bunch of times and almost every time I wear it I get a million compliments. 

Why? Because everyone loves the print!

What is your favorite print?

Hey Dolls! 

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of getting together with some amazing Boston bloggers at a Galantine's party hosted by Bloggers Live Boston. 

It is so amazing being part of a group and community where women are really supporting and lifting up other women. I have made such wonderful connections with these ladies. We all have knowledge and expertise in different areas and sharing them with one another is informative, fabulous and fun! 

Here are some lively shots from the night. Networking with photographers, stylists and  shop owners while sipping champagne, getting blowouts and noshing on fun sugar cookies proved to be a super delightful evening!

Love these girls!

Happy Friday Eve! 

The weather has been mild, I and excited about my weekend, and next week at this time, I'll be heading to FL for a week! Woo hoo!! 

Valentine's Day is next week and sometimes it is fun to be in the spirit of a holiday with just a pop of color.  When I first got these boots I loved them, but wasn't convinced I would get a ton of wear out of them, boy was I wrong. Red was huge in the fall, that carried over to Christmas and now they are offering a subtle nod to the Valentine Holiday without being too over the top. 

This past Christmas was the first year I got into Hallmark and Netflix Christmas movies. 

So when the season was over I went through a slight withdrawal. Thankfully all the Rom-Coms have been available on Netflix in preparation for V-Day.
