Happy Monday loves! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends and for another who is a mother, then I wish you a very wonderful Mother's Day. I had the busiest weekend painting and carpeting Ava's nursery. Everything turned out fantastic and I could not be happier. This outfit need no introduction except that my love for Disney is never ending and Lauren Conrad perfectly captured the whimsical charm of Minnie Mouse in a grown up sophisticated way. Every piece in the new collection has a fun retro feel to it while still being stylish and fresh. The blouse I'm wearing has the cutest little Minnie Mouse print with pretty ruffles and a little collar. This collection is an absolute must for any Disney fan or anyone looking for a fun summer piece!

A very happy Thursday everyone! Lately I've been on the lookout for a nice Nautical dress. It just so happens that nautical styles are one of my most favorite. I do adore pastels and soft romantic colors, which you'll see me in most often, but the other side of me love everything and anything having to do with nautical vibes. I recently spotted this Ralph Lauren number and knew it would be great for anyone pregnant like me, or if you just want a pretty ruffled nautical dress. I put the belt up higher on my waist, but it is supposed to be worn lower as shown above. I'm wearing a size small for reference. The Express accessories, the blue clutch and panama hat, go perfectly with this ensemble and can be worn with so many different outfits. Shop the outfit with the links above. Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday! Here is another Chicwish outfit that I absolutely fell in love with. It is actually a two piece top and skirt set, which only makes it more appealing to me seeing as I could style them separately. The beautiful flower crochet detailing along with the soft blue color are perfect for the spring months. Unfortunately this set sold out already, but I've linked almost exact replica's from Chicwish above. I wanted to keep the colors soft and opted for a Nine West blush envelope bag and mint Zara heels. The heels pictured/linked above are almost the exact same as mine, the only difference being mine are suede and the others are leather. I'm always wearing these, such a style staple! Enjoy loves!!

Happy Thursday everyone! I can almost feel the weekend being here. I'm sure by now you know how much I love bows, especially romantic whimsical feeling ones. When I saw this dress on Modcloth, I absolutely fell in love. This has such a dreamy quality to it from the beautiful bow to the lovely lace underneath the delicate overlay. The beige tone has a softness to it which only adds to the romantic feeling. Not only that, but this dress is so comfortable to wear! I know I'll be wearing this all spring and summer for any occasions we might be going to from a nice dinner to a stroll in the park. I got the size small, which fit perfectly, especially with the lack of a waist.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday so far! This look started completely with the shoes. I mean, how could you not fall in love with them?! The pretty blue bow and the sparkle just puts a smile on my face. In the spring and summer I love wearing white skinnies to help lighten up a look. To top it off, I went with the same cobalt blue palette with some beautiful blooms on it. This mint bag from Ivanka Trump has been a staple of mine for many seasons now. It's roomy enough to carry every essential and is the loveliest shade of mint. I found a similar one linked above since this is sold out. Cobalt blue has always caught my eye. It's such an attention grabber. I even used it as the main color for my wedding. Such a stunning shade of blue!

Good Monday morning to you! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was jam packed as usual with running around doing errands, baby sitting my dad's dog, and even a little movie time. This is another outfit from Chic Wish. If you haven't already, definitely go check their site out. I love the romantic feel this outfit has, especially with the blush skirt. The bow top I wore for  this outfit as well not too long ago. I've had a color crush on blush for the past couple of years and always seem to gravitate towards it. I found the skirt to fit true to size. If you have a waist smaller than a 26 inch, then it may be a little loose. The delicate pattern of roses only adds to the charm of the skirt. The bow top is light weight and the skirt has a nice heaviness to it, but nothing that would over heat. Shop the look above and enjoy!

Happy Friday!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful week and some exciting or relaxing plans for the weekend ahead. Mine looks to be quite a busy one again, but I only wish the weather was going to be nicer! We are back into the low 40s and 50s with gloomy clouds and it even snowed here a bit yesterday! Crazy weather really. Speaking of weather, it was obviously very windy when I took these photos. Sometimes that works to my advantage with a nice breeze to float through my dress and hair or it can be terrible with whipping wind blowing everything out of control. Regardless, I fell in love with the color of this dress when it first arrived in stores for the spring season. I originally got it for my California vacation, but never had a chance to wear it out there. The peter pan color with delicate lace trimming really sold me as well as the elastic waist. The tie sash is not attached so you can position it however you would like. Right now it's on sale for under $40. Also, how cute are these sunglasses?? The polka dots caught my eye and pair perfectly with this dress. Enjoy your weekend!!

Strawberry Scallops

Scalloped Petite Dress , Loft || Necklace, LC Lauren Conrad, (Similar) || Bracelet, Banana Republic Factory Store || Heels, Kohls, (Similar) || Bronze Clutch, Target, (Similar) ||

The weekend is almost here and that makes this girl very happy! I love a good detail and these scalloped edges are perfectly pretty for spring and summer. This is another type of pop over dress and has a stretchy material. Did you notice the back of this dress? Wow! The scalloping continues and reveals just the tiniest bit of your back. A good strapless bra comes in handy here. Right now the Loft is having a 60% off of their sale items, including this dress, so be sure to stop by and check it out. Links are above, but just be aware if you're selecting the regular or petite size. This does have a boxy fit to it and I could still fit into my usual 00p. Enjoy your Thursday my lovelies!

Afterglow Maxi Dress

Dress, LC Lauren Conrad || Shoes, LC Lauren Conrad || Necklace, LC Lauren Conrad in store, (Similar) || Earrings, Jackie Kennedy Collection || Clutch, Target, Similar ||

There's nothing like the ease of a good maxi dress. I never used to wear them due to my 5"2' height, but with a heeled sandal, this works out perfectly. The sandal is not too high either which is great for this relaxed flowly look. I've been recently trying to find styles that will work for both pregnant and non-pregnant women alike and this dress definitely fits the bill. The waist sits higher and is stretchy with the pop over feature. Lets just say I'm definitely a big "pop over" fan right now. Did I mention how much I adore pleats too! I'll definitely be rocking this look into the summer months, which I cannot wait to get here. I think we all need a little warmth and sunshine in our lives right now!

Blue Polka Dot

Happy Monday everyone! What better way to start the week then with some pretty polka dots. An absolute favorite print of mine, this style seems to only get better as the years go on. I wore this outfit to a friends baby shower last weekend, not even realizing the theme was casino based, and saw that my shoes matched the "dice" decorations. That worked our perfectly! I chose this dress mainly because it was blue and my lovely friend is having a baby boy. Plus, this fit over my baby bump and kept me feeling comfortable for the whole party. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Kisses to you!

Chelsea's 18th Birthday

I want to thank everyone for the most wonderfully kind comments Chelsea and I received on Instagram for her birthday post! It's absolutely amazing to belong to a community made up of so many lovely ladies and gentlemen. Chelsea celebrated her 18th birthday this past Friday April 17th and we spent the whole day basically snuggling together and giving her some extra treats to celebrate. I feel so very blessed to have my little fur baby. She simply lights up my life every single day. Justin and her even have a very special bond. She fell in love with him from day one. He really knows how to charm the Kretchmer girls! I cannot even begin to explain how much I love her and feel as if she really were one of my own children. She's the best little friend I've ever had.

Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is just a skip, hop, and a jump away and I could not be more thrilled. We're supposed to have some gorgeous weather this Saturday which I plan on taking full advantage of by being outside. I wore this outfit last Saturday when I went antiquing with my dad. I wanted something casual yet pulled together. It was still chilly outside, but not enough that I needed a jacket. The blazer added some extra warmth while pulling the look together. I love the little pop of polka dot at the collar. It is those simple little details that make the huge difference. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Happy Thursday everyone! I've been waiting for my packages from Chicwish  for a few weeks now and could not have been more excited when they arrived at my house yesterday. I recently discovered this company about three weeks ago and after browsing their online store I knew I was hooked. The brand offers fabulous feminine pieces, especially those midi skirts, and on trend style for almost any age. The prices are fantastic too with every piece being affordable for any budget range. They are located over seas so the shipping does take anywhere from two to three weeks, mine came in about sixteen days, which is what the site had predicted. Though tracking is not available for free shipping, that does cost an extra three dollars, but it you have a large order I would recommend doing that to put your mind at ease.

Both the bow tie top and rose print shorts are from Chicwish and the shoes are from Shoedazzle, my new favorite online shoe source. Almost every pair of shoes is $39.99 with a monthly membership. You do have the option to skip the month and not be charged, but so far I've had too many items on my wishlist to do that. These blush heels are surprisingly easy to walk in and fit true to size. The top and shorts are also true to size and pair with so many different items. I always look for versatility when I'm purchasing to make sure I get the most bang for my buck. I'm absolutely in love with this whole outfit and cannot wait to share more items from my Chicwish purchase.

I must admit that I love a good floral print all throughout the year, not just during spring time. The weather had been quite dreary with rain almost every day and cloudy skies. What better way to brighten up a day then with some pretty pops of color dusted with floral prints! Just looking at these pictures makes me feel cheery. These shoes are the sister ones to the green floral print I wore in the Citrus post from Shoedazzle. I just adore the embellishment and colors on both sets of shoes. Details always get me. Also, this white clutch from Shoedazzle is something that I can carry throughout the spring and summer months which always make me happy knowing I can get some distance out of an item.

I wanted to take a few moments to say how happy I was to see all of the support here on Enchanting Elegance and on Instagram for my "un-plugged" message. There is no doubt how wonderful it is to be connected to so many people at the touch of a finger, but sometimes it's good to step back and take a breather to spend some quality time with the people who are actually in front of us!  Kisses to all!!

Striped Skirt

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I spent mine with family and friends antiquing, getting dinner and ice cream, taking hikes, baby showers, and of course catching up on some reading and t.v. shows. One rule I had was to "unplug" whenever I was with my loved ones so I could give them my undivided attention instead of having my face glued to my phone. I caught up with as many people as I could on Sunday when I re-plugged myself, and I am always amazed by the lovely inspiration I see, so I did feel better about that since I consider so many on IG to be friends as well! Also, the weather was starting to warm up which meant going outside without a coat was possible. Definitely a win in my book.

This outfit started with the striped skirt, which is stretchy and great for still fitting, being comfortable and totally wearable for anyone. The polka dot shoes gave this some pizazz and a cute little twist. I've been wearing them non-stop lately. My little baby bump is starting to really show too. She's been quite the little kicker lately.

Happy Friday all! Nothing excites me more than a tulle skirt, especially one that is Disney inspired! The sweatshirt, skirt, and heels are all from Lauren Conrad's Cinderella collection for Kohls. Everything fits true to size and is so comfortable. Unfortunetly the sweatshirt is sold out, but the t-shirt with the same print is still available and the blue skirt is sold out, but the green floral pattern that I wore a few posts back for "Garden Party" is still available and linked above. LC also just announced her next Disney collection inspired by none other than Minnie Mouse! I am so looking forward to this one and hoping there are some stretchy pieces for me to wear! Enjoy your weekend loves!

Blush has always been a favorite color of mine and even more so now that we found out we're having a baby girl. I've always been drawn to its softness and how romantic it feels. As soon as I saw this trench coat my heart fluttered with happiness. Not only is the color beautiful with the black piping, but it is an amazing transitional piece being just heavy enough for the cooler weather, but not overwhelming for when it gets a bit warmer. On a side note, it's been raining non-stop here so this is coming in very handy!

I hope everyone had the most wonderful Easter with their family and loved ones. I had a lovely day spent with my family beginning at church and then going to brunch to relax and enjoy the day. I picked up this Target shirt last week and fell in love with its bright sunny yellow color. These Shoedazzle heels also caught my eye with their sparkly embellishment and pretty floral details. I also got the blue/pink shade they come in. How could you resist?! Lately the weather has been starting to warm up, but we've been having some major cloud cover. Whenever the weather seems dreary, I always try to wear something bright and colorful.

Happy Friday loves! Nothing says spring to me like pastel colors and I cannot seem to stop wearing them! This skirt reminds me of a beautiful garden blooming with the loveliest of flowers . I wanted to keep the look soft and feminine with colors from the skirt. This would be another great option for an Easter outfit. Speaking of, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
