Dark Florals In Winter

Dark Floral Dress c/o || Pearl Clutch || Pink Bow Flats || Similar Anchor Necklace || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || Jackie Kennedy Pearl Earrings || Jackie Kennedy Watch ||

Happy Friday, friends! While the weather outside has been quite frightful, that doesn’t stop me from wanting to get dressed up in my go-to fit and flare dresses, especially with floral print. I honestly do not wear too much black, but love how this particular dress mixes in beautiful pink flowers to sweeten the look. The long sleeves have a little bow cinching the slight flare at the end. The neckline has some pretty ruffles as well. The dress comes with a detachable belt. There’s so many gorgeous little details that add up to one knockout piece!

Dusty Pink

Pink Ribbed Dress c/o || Similar Saddle Bag || Similar Bow Heels || Earrings || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || Similar Anchor Necklace ||

Good morning and happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying safe and warm if you were affected by the snow storm this weekend. Not only did we get snow, but no we have dangerously low temperatures too.

 One way for me to continue to wear dresses in the good ol’ wintertime is with a sweater dress. They’re an essential item! This, oh so lovely dusty rose shade from Chicwish, manages to skim all of my curves in just the right way while remaining stretchy and comfy to wear.

Think Pink

Pink Turtleneck Sweater c/o || Pink Wool Skirt c/o || Bow Sling Back Heels || Circle Bag || Pink Belt || Jackie Kennedy Pearl Earrings || 

Happy Thursday, everyone! When in doubt, think pink! It’s often hard to feel inspired during the long winter months. The cold and dreariness start to sink in along with the never ending snow, which we are supposed to get a good deal of this weekend. My solution has always been to brighten up my wardrobe with fun colors and prints that make me smile. For me, that color is pink. It instantly puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart. This oversized sweater and plaid wool skirt from Chicwish do just the trick to not only keep me cozy and warm, but to add a good dose of happiness to my day. Both pieces make excellent choices for Valentine’s Day too!

Sun Kissed Cheetah

Julie Brown NYC Dress c/o || Similar Clutch || Similar Sequin Heels || Similar Turtleneck || Jackie Kennedy Pearl Earrings || Tortoise Necklace || 

Good morning and happy new year!! It’s technically already one week into the new year, but this is my first time posting here in 2019 so cheers to all that new year has to offer. Some other big news, and the reason I’ve been a bit MIA throughout December, is that Ava and I moved! We are now officially home owners and beyond excited and thankful for this blessing. 

You can never go wrong with a simple jersey dress that is not only chic, but also one of the most comfortable materials to wear. To make this cold weather appropriate, I added a turtleneck sweater underneath. The black accessories balance the cheetah print out nicely. I added a bit of dazzle with the shoes and clutch having sequins because, why not?!

Belle Of The Ball Dress

Organza Dress c/o || Faux Fur Jacket c/o || Pearl Clutch || Cluster Drop Earrings || Similar Gold Shoes || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o ||  

Good morning and happy Friday, friends! This gorgeous organza dress from Chicwish is an absolute dream. One truly does feel a little bit of enchantment when wearing it. As I always say, it’s all in the details and the details on this particular dress exceed expection. The ever flattering fit-and-flare style will always be my favorite and gives a little nod to the golden age of the 1950s. The dress does have horizontal black lines, but they blend in rather well and from a distance, you can barely see them. They give the dress a demential feel. The sleeves are a sheer chiffon with pretty pink beading and a chrochet tie.

Cozy At The Cape // Mommy & Me

Sail To Sable Wheel Sweater c/o || White Skinny Jeans || Similar Kate Spade Bag || Boots || Similar Pink Hat || Sherpa Coat c/o || Ava’s Sail To Sable Sweater Dress c/o||  

Good morning, friends! As you know, mommy and me posts are my absolute favorite here on Enchanting Elegance. I get a big thrill each time I’m able to feature one. I’m particularly fond of this one because  of its nautical theme, which is very close to both my and Ava’s hearts. Come sail away with us! Both the sweater and sweater dress feature a wheel motif on a hydrangea blue background. I love being able to wear this sweater with a jacket now in winter, but I can also imagine wearing it with some jeans shorts and flats or wedges in the summer too. It’s perfect for those cool summer nights. This is how you do nautical year round! Both fit true to size. I’m wearing an XS and Ava is in a size 4.

Cuddle Up In Sherpa

Good morning and happy Monday, friends! As the weather starts to turn from chilly to downright freezing, I love to find pieces that remind me of being cuddled up in the coziest blanket. This peacoat Sherpa coat from Chicwish does just that. It has an oversized fit, perfect for layering sweaters or even another jacket under for those wind whipping days. I felt warm and toasty all weekend long while wearing this. I also thought I’d mention how the pockets are nice and roomy. It’s a small detail, but one I truly appreciated for being able to keep my hands warm and also to carry various items in them. I’m a huge fan of pockets!

Coat Dress // Kate Middleton Style

Coat Dress c/o || Similar Bow Pumps || Similar Gold Clutch || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o ||  

Good morning, everyone! As soon as I saw this dress, I immediately thought of the forever chic Kate Middleton. She will always be one of my favorite fashion inspirations and truth be told, an inspiration all around. She has a classic style and an abundance of class. This “coat dress” has the very same essence of the style we see the Duchess wear time and time again. This particular one from Chicwish has pockets, velvet trimming, a fit and flare waist, and a houndstooth print. It does fit true to size.

Winter Pop Of Red

Red Embellished Coat c/o || Hunter Boots || Similar Plaid Shoes || Box Clutch || Woolrich Plaid Ear Muffs (Similar) || Similar Gloves || Cluster Stone Drop Earrings ||

Good morning and happy Monday, friends! One of my favorite colors to wear in winter is a bright pop of red. It’s stands out particularly well against a snowy white background and brings all the happy cheeriness along with it. This coat from Julie Brown NYC is the definition of stunning. Not only is it a gorgeous shade of red, but the arms have little bows with pearl and rhinestone buttons as well as the from buttons being the same. The sleeve length is cut at 3/4 reminding me fondly of coats worn in the 1960s with long leather gloves.

 I hope everyone had had a great weekend. Mine was amazing and quite a memorable one. Also, I’m sure most know by now that President George H. W. Bush had passed away. He was the first president that so remember seeing. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Bush family and their friends. From all accounts that I have heard, he truly was a great man, served his country well, and was devoted to his family. RIP 41.

A Nod To The Men

Windowpane Blazer c/o || White Oxford Top || Corduroy Pants || Similar OTK Boots || Similar Bag || Similar Leopard Belt || PInk & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || 

Happy Friday and welcome to the weekend, friends! This look here is completely inspired by the boys. The windowpane blazer, in a classic navy blue, along with the white oxford top, are the two staple pieces anchoring the look together. I love this look for the office, think business casual, but also with the swap for a pair of jeans, it becomes a casual chic ensemble for going out. The blazer fits true to size and also comes in a white windowpane print.

Teddy Bear Snuggle

Teddy Bear Jacket c/o || Sequin Sweater c/o || Skinny Jeans || Suede Boots || Hunter Boots || Similar Kate Spade Bag || Wreath Earrings || Similar Pink Hat || Similar Embellished Gloves ||  

Happy Thursday, everyone! There’s nothing quite like being wrapped in a snuggly blanket on a cold wintry day. The warmth, the coziness, the collective feel of comfort all adding up to happiness. That’s what wearing this teddy bear jacket feels like and just like it’s name, it’s as soft and cute as any teddy bear! Fun fact, President Teddy Roosevelt inspired a candy store owner to start selling toy bears called teddy bears. The jacket, in its traditional color, fits true to size. There are also nine other colors available and at under $40, this is one steal you cannot miss. As Ava and I were heading home from some errands and photographing this jacket, a snow storm had started taking many by surprise. While the storm was predicted, the amount that fell and how quickly it fell, were not. We got about 10-12 inches! We quickly changed into some snow appropriate gear and headed back outdoors for some fun. I was warm and toasty the entire time.

Satin Bowknot Dress

Satin Dress c/o || LC Lauren Conrad Faux Fur Jacket (Old, Similar) || Rose Gold Shoes|| Glitter Minaudiere Box Clutch || Jackie Kennedy Earrings || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || 

Good morning and happy Wednesday, friends! I must say that I felt like a silver screen siren wearing this satin dress from Chicwish. Satin has always reminded me of the movie goddesses gracing the big screens in the 30s and 40s. They always seemed to be dressed to the nines in their luxurious silky fabrics! This dress has beautiful movement that swishes and sways with each and every step. Not only that, but the color, a nice deep wine, is stunning and quite festive this time of the year. The dress also comes in a midnight navy blue. It fits true to size and has a darling bow to cinch the waist and give the always flattering fit-and-flare style.

A Bright Pop

Good morning, friends! I tend to usually wear softer colors, but every now and then it’s fun to have a bright pop, especially with a print mixed in! The berry color of this satin blouse is very vibrant and a true head turner. The bow neck is not attached, but rather a satin sash you can tie and adjust to how to you like. I love a bright pop of color once the winter weather starts to set in. It brightens up the dreary days! The material does feel quite nice and fits true to size.

Pink Pointelle On A Picture Perfect Morning

Good morning and happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend filled with good food, friends and family, football, shopping, and maybe even putting up your Christmas decorations. Ava and I went to go see The Grinch again over the weekend and I have to say, I enjoy the movie just as much as she does! They did an awesome job of re-telling the story. We also started watching some Christmas shows starting with Frosty on tv, The Polar Express, and A Christmas Story. Don’t forget that Ruldolph is on tomorrow night at 8pm on CBS.

 On our last day at Valley Forge, Ava and I took one last drive around the park and decided to take a little walk before heading home. We stopped at a popular part of the park we’d never been to before. I’d always seen quite a bit of cars parked at this location and I eventually found out why. It was a stunning crisp morning with the sun offering endless amounts of light in the sapphire blue sky. We walked on a path that eventually led to an old beautiful estate that was picture perfect. On the walk we had passed some barns, old homes, fields, and a stream that were all amazing photographic backdrops. I passed three other photographers doing family portraits while there! It was the end to another fantastic trip to my favorite spot in PA.

Happy Thanksgiving 2018

Wool Blazer || Eyelash Sweater || Skinny Jeans || Tall Boots || Similar Tory Burch Bag || Jackie Kennedy Earrings ||   

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!  First and foremost, I am truly thankful for my family, especially my little Ava bug. I don’t know where I would be without their love and guidance. I am thankful for my friends, my health, and to you dear reader for your continued support. I hope everyone traveling gets to their destinations safely and enjoys this boutinful holiday with their loved ones. I’m looking forward to watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, spending some quality time with my family, eating a delicious dinner, and watching some football!

The photos above are from the first day of our Valley Forge trip. The weather was spectacular with the setting sun’s golden rays illuminating the land. The views looked as if they were taken straight out of a postcard. I wanted something comfortable to not only travel in, but also knowing I would be to walking around the park quite a bit too. This blazer has been my fall staple creating effortless classic looks. These boots also lend a hand in creating classic ensembles with retro inspired details. Ava and I both had on our cozy eyelash sweaters that we felt snug as a bug in.

Soft Fall Colors

White Sweater || Pink Wrap Skirt c/o || Suede Boots || Tory Burch Bag || Sunglasses (Old, Similar) || Wreath Earrings || Embellished Bow Hair Tie||  

Good morning and happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Some highlights from ours were a Christmas tea party we attended at an old local mansion that was ever so lovely and going to see The Grinch! Looks like I have a new movie buddy and I am completely thrilled (enter all the heart eye emojis here lol.) It was a great movie too. We both really enjoyed it. 

I’ve been on a skirt kick lately, particularly this pink wrap one, which I have another outfit with coming soon! Also, I’m loving a skirt and boot combo right now too. While I’ll forever love dresses and they’re effortless ease, I equally adore a good skirt and it’s versatility in creating different outfits. This pink skirt I’ve recently worn in three different looks, each unique and chic in their own way. This red one I wore three different ways this past weekend too. One was to the holiday tea party with the sweater I’m wearing above!

This look above has beautiful soft colors and has a certain graceful ease and comfort to it. The wreath earrings (not heavy!) and embellished bow hair tie add some glistening glam that simply makes me smile. It’s all in those little details.

Holiday Style With A Bow

Happy Friday, friends! We woke up to a winter white wonderland after yesterday’s snow storm. It’s the first snow of the season and Ava was quite excited for it, me not as much lol. The new fallen snow has me dreaming of the cheerful holidays ahead and all of the happiness and joy that comes along with them. The holiday season is the perfect time of the year to add a little something special to your wardrobe, this bow dress included! It exudes the perfect amount of classic elegance and charm with the darling bow detail in the back. I can’t help but to think of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s when wearing this. She was the inspiration of this effortlessly chic holiday look.

Navy Blue // Ruffle Skirt

Good morning, friends! ‘Tis the season to add a little sparkle to your everyday looks. While I love the classic ensemble with a mix of pretty plaid and some ruffles, it’s the shimmering jewelry pieces that elevate this outfit. How gorgeous are they?! I’m particularly swooning over the embellished barette. Time and time again, I’m drawn to classic styles that stand the test of time such as this plaid ruffle skirt, navy sweater, and navy pea coat. All are key pieces that could have been worn twenty years ago or twenty years from now.

Parisian Pink Mix

Pink Embellished Sweater c/o || Pink Wrap Skirt c/o || Beret || Glitter Flats || Belt || Circle Bag || Jacket || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o ||

Happy Friday, friends and welcome to the weekend! There’s something about this outfits that’s quite magical to me. Maybe it’s the dazzling embellishments, perhaps it could be the beret, or even the fact that the entire outfit is pink, but one thing is for sure, the ensemble is a head turner. Nearly everyone I ran into, friends and strangers alike, complimented this look. This is the first time I decided to try wearing a beret too. The outfit started with this embellished pink sweater from Chicwish with faux pearls and beads along the neck line. The sleeves are sheer with a velvet tie at the wrist making the top extra feminine. These glitter flats with pearls are from Blair Eadie’s collection with Nordstrom. They are not only comfortable, but extremely pretty and run true to size. The belt is also from the collection, but currently sold out. The beret was the last piece, the topper if you will, to complete this cheery pink mix!

Burgundy Mix // NEPA Leaf Peak

Last weekend NEPA saw its peak of the brilliant fall colors with the trees ablaze in stunning reds, oranges, and yellows. I headed over to Hillside Farms to capture the beautiful scenes all around me. Each glance seemed as if I had stepped into a painting. For my photographic adventure, I wore this burgundy coat from Chicwish to keep me stylishly warm. It has an oversized fit, perfect for layering underneath!, and faux pearls for buttons. I love how this adds a splash of color to my outerwear. When the cold weather hits, all we pretty much see is what coat or jacket someone has on while outside. Why not make it something colorful and fun!
