Do you ever find yourself day dreaming about a vacation or an island paradise you wish you were at? Mine is Cape Cod, specifically the village of Hyannis. My dad and I traveled up there for a little weekend getaway, our last trip together before baby Ava arrives, which made it all the more special....

Yay for Friday! I thought it would be appropriate to have some nautical/4th of July inspiration since I'll be in Cape Cod this weekend. I've been currently loving all things red, white and blue. I've always adored nautical styles, but especially during this time of the year......

A very happy Wednesday to you! The middle of the week has arrived and for me that means t-minus two days until my short weekend trip to Cape Cod!

Yay for Friday! The weekend is here and I can finally take a much needed breather, though I do have some events to attend and of course Father's Day is this Sunday. Nothing huge is planned except to just spend some time together and have a nice breakfast (my dad's favorite meal) and probably a dinner......

Happy Thursday everyone! One more day until Friday. I can feel the anticipation! Today is all about mixing different prints together. Whoever said an outfit should just have one print? Regardless, I'm loving all of the different patterns going on here. Stripes and florals to me are a given. They go with practically anything and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Add in some cute polka dots, I mean how adorable are these shoes?!?, and you have an outfit that just pops. I tried to keep everything in the same color family so it would blend nicely and not completely overwhelm the eye. Black and white with some shades of pink. Have some fun with your fashion ladies!
Don't forget to take a peek at my online pop up shop I'm hosting with Chloe and Isabel until Friday! So many sparkly goodies including this blush bracelet I'm wearing. I'm more than in love with it and cannot wait to feature it more! One lucky shopper who makes a total purchase of $75 will be entered to win 25% off of their entire purchase. Shop the boutique HERE.

Is it really Wednesday already? I'm personally excited to see the days fly by since I have a small weekend trip coming up at the end of June. My dad and I always have a little family vacation and wanted to squeeze one in before Ava arrives. We'll see how I do on the 6 hour car ride though! It'll be worth it since I'm going to Cape Cod, my little slice of heaven. Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather holds out! It's been an constant battle with the weather in NEPA going from down pours one minute, to sunshine, then back to cloudy the next. Hope fully it turns around soon and we can have some abundant sunshine!
Today I'm feeling blue, but in a good way! Pairing this triple thread lacy top with an exact color match skirt makes it appear to be a dress almost. To give it some shape, I cinched, above my baby bump, a nice floral belt that has some good stretch to it. This maxi skirt is perfect for petites, myself included, and non petites alike. A hi-low hem fixes the overwhelming volume and makes for a beautiful silhouette.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I wanted to share with you my secret to getting incredibly soft lips while using epic blend lip balm. I'm always on the lookout for brands that use all natural ingredients in their products and was pleasantly surprised to find out epic blend uses only the top-shelf natural ingredients without any of the harsh chemicals or synthetics. This was right up my alley and I loved all of the yummy flavors they have in their lineup. The formula's are petroleum-free, gluten-free, non gmo, not tested on animals, and only include natural flavors. My two personal favorites are the citrus kick and pineapple-mint.
The balms come in three categories:
Hemp: Using organic hemp seed oil, which is a great anti-oxident, super-nourishing, and quickly absorbs into the skin.
More Moisture: A total of seven moisturizers are used, including organic shea butter, to come together to provide a generous dose of moisture to your lips while having a long lasting staying power.
Vegan: 100% plant-based and beeswax-free. All natural grade candelila was is used, which gives these balms an incredibly smooth texture.
Vanilla, Coconut, Mint, and Citrus Kick
Unflavored, Cherry, Grape, Green Apple
Pineapple-mint, Wild Berry

Happy Monday lovelies! I'm so excited to announce that I'll be hosting an online pop up shop for all of my followers starting tomorrow, Tuesday the 16th and ending on Friday the 19th. Eren Timario approached me asking if I'd like to host an online pop up for her Chole and Isabel boutique. I thought this was a wonderful idea, but first wanted to check out the jewelry to make sure it would be something my readers would like and also of good quality. Everything I present on Enchanting Elegance is held to my highest standards. I personally believe it is of importance to only bring quality material to my blog. While I looked over the product line, finding the most beautiful pieces, I knew this would be a great fit and an exciting opportunity to present a brand that may not be known about.
Also, as a little bonus, one lucky shopper will get 25% off of their $75 purchase. The winner will be chosen once the pop up shop ends on Friday. Good luck to everyone and let me know if you'll be attending the online pop up in the comments below!

Happy Friday everyone! Another jam packed weekend up ahead for me, but that's just how I like it. My baby shower invites were finally addressed last night and sent out today. Eek, I'm so excited! I cannot wait for the event to happen and to share some photos of it with you. I never had a bridal shower, so this is something that I really wanted to do.
Today I'm sharing my review on eShakti.com. I was more than thrilled to find an online shop designing styles that can be customized by the customer. It is so rare these days to find any kind of clothing that can be customized without going to a tailor or seamstress, and we all know that can be a bit expensive. My personal experience when ordering from eShakti was fantastic. I chose this dress since it was a wrap style with a comfortable jersey material that would fit me throughout my pregnancy. I was able to order my normal size 2 since the fabric is stretchy. Who can go wrong with stripes too! This can be worn so many different ways throughout the year.
When I eventually found the dress that would best fit my style (and pregnancy) I was then directed to the customization part, which was so simple. You can either pick from predetermined sizes, the typical 0-36W, or you can enter in your specific sizes for your waist, shoulders, arm length and circumference, the list goes on. That would be particularly helpful to find the most perfect fit for your body. Next, you provide your height. Finally, you can chose the length of the whole garment, the sleeve length, and the neck line. I stayed with how the dress was originally made since I liked that style best. I could have made this into a maxi dress with long sleeves or cap sleeves, or even a mini dress with no sleeves. Endless possibilities! I was really blown away by the beautiful pieces they have and really had such a hard time deciding. Another fantastic point, the prices are what you would pay for any other piece of clothing.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

There's nothing I love more than getting dressed up for the day. I treasure my morning hours, sometimes afternoon hours when I'm feeling a bit worn out from the pregnancy!, where I can sit down and get myself primped and ready for the day ahead. Some days though call for a more relaxed and laid back feeling, but still not sacrificing any style points. I've lived in these white skinny jeans all spring and summer long. They're such a nice alternative to dark denim and really brighten up an outfit. This beige top from Triple Thread OC feels so lightweight and comfortable for those warm summer days. I love how easily I can move around in it and the versatility of it. While it is not specifically a pregnancy top, it is definitely very pregnancy friendly. I was never a big sneaker person either and in fact, I purposely would not wear them, opting for flats instead. Once I found the cute styles that Keds offer though, I was completely hooked. Who could pass up this pretty mint shade?!
This outfit was perfect for all of the running around I had to do yesterday along with the house work that had piled up on me. Some days I sleep for hours and have no energy and others, I cannot sleep at all and end up having tons of energy to get things done. This third trimester throws me for a loop sometimes!

Happy Monday loves! What a busy weekend I had with planning things for my baby shower and finally getting the baby registry completed. Not to mention a little work and some rest! I've been finding myself not being able to sleep at night anymore and being completely drained throughout the day. Needless to say, sometimes a nap is required. Today also marks 32 weeks for me. My how time flies by. I hope everyone else had a fantastic weekend!
Today I wanted to share with you a boutique called Belle Raquelle which carries chic accessories at extremely affordable prices. These mermaid earrings are perfect for summer with their two-toned style in white and blue. Not to mention how eye catching they are and how they go with so many items in my closet. Simple and chic, these will become a staple for me throughout the spring and summer months! I don't know about you, but I love when I find a piece that is so versatile and comes at a fantastic price point.
A little P.S.
This ring and clutch were birthday gifts from my husband. I'm so in love with them. Expect to see these pieces in upcoming posts!
Happy Thursday loves! The weather has been a bit gloomy lately, though the sun did finally make an appearance yesterday, so some pretty pastels were in order to cheer and brighten up the surroundings. Pastels always put me in a good mood and never fail to bring a smile to my face. While they definitely fit into the spring wardrobe, I find that pastels can work any time of the year and trust me, I certainly do wear them year round. I've been wearing this blush blazer so much lately to polish up any outfit or to simply keep me warm when the weather takes a slight dip. Definitely one of my favorite buys this year.
Dress || Black Bow Hat
Nothing seems more summery to me than a sundress with a wide brim hat. The pretty combo tells of effortless days spent in the warm sun with a beautiful breeze passing on by. This vintage inspired Minnie Mouse dress feels so comfy and looks cute with the white piping details and the little white polka dots covering the entire canvas. Add some pops of red and you have an east breezy cool summer outfit. This would be especially good for the 4th of July celebrations in little over a month. Lets hope the weather makes a turn for the better before then!

It's that time again, Monday morning. I always find myself wondering where the weekend went to?!? Usually on a Monday I need something a little bright and cheery to keep that pep in my step and this floral maxi skirt does just that. I love how beautifully it flows, especially with the slightest bit of a breeze. The pink and mint hues blend together perfectly to make the most charming print.
I want to say thank you to everyone for the most beautiful and kind birthday wishes this past weekend! I truly appreciate all of your love and support. It means the world to me. I had a nice quiet dinner with my husband Friday night and then celebrated with my family Saturday night at an outdoor patio with twinkling lights, tiki torches, and a fire pit keeping us warm under a blanket of stars. It was such a wonderful birthday!

Spring has sprung! With the golden sun shinning and the air slowly warming up, there’s no denying spring is officially here. A few cherry blossom trees have started blooming their pretty pink petals creating the most marvelous sight to see.
