Winter – KBStyled

Walmart Fashion Gift Ideas

kbstyled — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 06:23:08 +0000

Can you believe that Christmas is 6 days away?! We are counting down the days…Reins & Addison are getting more and more excited with each passing day! We are officially on Christmas break now and we are settling in for a lot of family time over the next couple of weeks!

Before settling in, I need to wrap up my Christmas shopping and finish getting everything wrapped! Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping and have you checked your list twice?! If you are anything like me, I shop right up until Christmas and although I have the majority of my shopping done, there are still a few to check off of my list.

This is when I lean on Walmart as my go-to destination for any last minute gifts! They have such a great selection and their prices are incredible! Not to mention, Walmart offers free shipping when you spend $35 or more…shipping is fast too and many items, especially if ordered today, will arrive before Christmas!

You may also be looking for a few things for yourself…maybe a last minute holiday outfit, a sweater to wear for a family gathering, or maybe you need a new winter jacket. Walmart has several great brands, some of my personal favorites, like Scoop, Time and Tru, and Free Assembly…all of which I am wearing in todays post.

Now is also a great time to shop online for Walmart’s rollbacks! Almost everything I am wearing in todays post is included in their recent rollbacks and you won’t believe the prices for pieces like this packable anorak coat, this sherpa pullover, this fair isle winter sweater, this turtleneck sweater, and this leopard print sweater cardigan! Prices as low as $7 for great quality holiday and winter fashion staples. Check out this cute beanie!

Definitely take advantage of Walmart’s rollbacks while checking loved ones off of your list and while treating yourself along the way too…you deserve it!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by…see you back here reason soon!

Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring today’s post…all opinions are my own.

Kendra Scott’s Winter Collection

kbstyled — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 01:25:11 +0000

Kendra Scott’s winter collection is absolutely stunning…her designs will bring a lot of sparkle and make a BIG statement this holiday season! This collection is one of my favorites, although I’m pretty sure I say every new collection is my favorite…Kendra Scott can do no wrong in my book and she nails it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

I remember receiving my very first Kendra Scott piece…a Rayne necklace in hot pink and I wore it all of the time. This special piece of jewelry was my introduction to Kendra Scott and since then, I’ve become a very loyal customer. Not only do I shop each new collection for myself, I also shop Kendra Scott’s collections to gift to others. Everyone loves receiving a little yellow box with beautiful surprise inside! Gifting Kendra Scott pieces makes me so happy!

I’m super excited to be sharing some of my favorite pieces from Kendra Scott’s winter collection! How gorgeous are these Jolie Gold Hoop earrings in peach ombre and this Jolie Cuff Bracelet in gold?! The hoop earrings are so sparkly and can be worn with so many different looks…I will be wearing these day and night!

I love all things colorful and one of my absolute favorite pieces from the winter collection are these Daya gold multi statement earrings. I love the variety of colors and how they dangle with the slightest movement.

They are just so fun to wear! You could also pair these earrings with the Joann gold multi long necklace.

I’m also loving the navy gunmetal pieces from the winter collection. They are rich, beautiful, a bit whimsical, and very sparkly. The Fabia statement earrings are like a beautiful star burst…they are STUNNING! The navy stones paired with the gunmetal create a design that is unique and different.

I paired the Fabia earrings with the Jolie statement necklace in indigo illusion. This necklace is classic and makes a bold statement. It also comes in a grey illusion stone and dichroic glass!

Whether you are looking for a special piece of jewelry to accessorize your holiday looks with or if you are shopping for others, you are sure to find what you are looking for at Kendra Scott. I personally have a running wish list and can’t wait to see what Santa may bring to me this year!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by…see you back here real soon!

JTV Custom Gemstone Jewelry

kbstyled — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 22:07:12 +0000

This post was sponsored by JTV. I was paid for this post and received JTV jewelry pieces as compensation.

My love for jewelry and beautiful accessories started at a young age. I always spent time going through my Mom’s jewelry box trying on her jewelry and begging her to let me wear it. Of course she would always tell me that “some day” she would pass down her jewelry and I remember thinking that I couldn’t wait for that day.

I always had my eye on a particular birthstone ring…two rubies were set atop a gorgeous gold band and I knew that one day that special ring would be mine because after all, that was my birthstone and that ring was in fact being kept just for me!

I can’t recall when my Mom actually gave me that special birthstone ring but I’ve always cherished it and have a special place for it in my jewelry box. Now that Addison is 7, she has really enjoyed going through my jewelry, trying on my pieces, and dressing up with my jewels. She even asks when I will give some of the pieces to her…I see so much of myself in her and as her Mom, I can’t wait to gift her some of my pieces one day too.

Ever since becoming a Mom, I’ve always wanted a Mother’s ring that had mine and Peter’s birthstone (which just so happens to be ruby) as well as the birthstone of both Reins and Addison. There’s just something so special about wearing a piece of custom jewelry that means so much and reminds you of what is most important in life.

Today I’m sharing more about my very special custom Mother’s ring that I worked with JTV to create. For those of you who have been KBStyled readers for some time, you know how much I love JTV…I’ve shared many gorgeous pieces of theirs over time and I’m a loyal customer of theirs. They have the most gorgeous jewels and you can also customize your very own piece of jewelry as well.

I had the best time creating my own custom Mother’s ring…it was such a delightful experience and I’m so thrilled with how my gorgeous ring turned out! Customizing your very own piece is simple…you will select your loose gemstone based on gemstone type, shape, carat weight, and price point. I knew I wanted our 3 birthstones and I was able to hand select the ruby, peridot, and amethyst gemstone. My gemstones are different shapes and sizes which I felt created a visually stunning design.

Once you have selected your gemstone, you will then select your setting from JTV’s versatile selection. They have settings for rings, earrings, necklaces, and more! Each stone in my custom ring is set in 4 prongs and the design is representative of my all encompassing unconditional love for my family. Wearing a Mother’s ring is special but when you design it yourself, it’s even more special!

JTV makes the design and customization experience so enjoyable and I love that their pieces are affordable too! A custom JTV piece makes a great gift for yourself or for someone.

Visit JTV to shop for and select your gemstone and then select one of their gorgeous pre-made settings. I can’t wait to hear if you decide to create your own special piece.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by…see you back here real soon!

FLORAL SWEATER || DENIM || EARRINGS || RINGS || BOOTIES

What’s not to love about a beautiful floral winter sweater that is fuzzy (not itchy), comfortable, and of course super warm?! The soft peach backdrop with the burgundy floral print immediately stood out to me and the minute I slipped on this sweater, I knew it had to find its way to my closet. I mean…a girl can never have too many sweaters, right?!

This sweater is affordable (priced right at $75) and I can assure you, will be grabbing for it time and time again. I also snagged these jeans which are my new favs…because I am 5’4″ they cut off at the right place and the fit is soooo good! Both the sweater and denim fit true to size!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a great start to your week.

MOTO JACKET || PATCHWORK BLOUSE (on sale for under $20) || DENIM || HANDBAG || EARRINGS || LEFT HAND RING || RIGHT HAND RINGS || BOOTS

I’ve been drawn to green lately…you never see a lot of green in stores so when you do, it stands out and I gravitate towards it. All shades of it including this pretty kelly green patchwork top.

The subtle all over print with touches of blue also caught my eye. This top is perfect for everyday where with denim and it is also perfect to dress up for a more professional, office appropriate look.

Even better, this top is currently on mega sale and is priced at under $20 right now! All sizes are still available as well! For a size reference, I am wearing a size small.

Snag this one before it sells out…who can resist such a pretty versatile top at under $20?! Sales always get me!

STRIPPED with an Open Heart

kbstyled — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 06:30:00 +0000

Photography by Madi Flournoy Henderson

SWEATER || DENIM

I’ve been wanting to strip things down and write this post for a long time but there just never seemed to be the right time. With a new year beginning I felt that the start of 2018 would be the perfect time to share a few things that have been on my mind with those of you that have been following along for a while.

If I’m being honest, there is so much to say yet I’m not sure how to put it all in words that make total sense. So many times, I’ve ran through whether or not this post would matter to anyone but me and I’ve ran through my approach to this post so many times in my head. I’m sharing because it has been on my heart to share and I won’t be able to be at peace until I put my thoughts down here.

Let me start by saying, 2017 was an incredible year for me personally and for my brand, it was the BEST year that I’ve had so far. I’ve felt encouraged and excited about my accomplishments with KBStyled and I’m truly looking forward to a great 2018.

As I reflect on 2017, even though it was a great year overall, I struggled internally with a lot of things.

You know the saying, “the struggle is real”…the struggle was very real for me last year.

The constant feeling of being pulled in so many different directions wore me down and often times left me feeling empty, unhappy, and even depressed at times. I was constantly chasing things, trying to keep up or win the race, all the while leaving my own self in the dust.

Life left me feeling exhausted and much like a hollow being that could be blown away with the wind. Dramatic, right? Just being honest.

Often times I experienced major Mom guilt…I never felt like I was playing enough, paying enough attention to Reins & Addison, giving them enough of me, being patient enough, disconnecting enough, being “present” enough. Although they reassured me through their unconditional love that I was, often times I felt less worthy of their unconditional love. I just wasn’t a good enough Mom.

I felt myself pulling away from many people in my life…becoming bitter and allowing myself to be hurt by the words and actions of others. Instead of forgiving, I harbored my negative feelings and held onto them. More time was spent focusing on the wrongs instead of the rights. I internalized a lot last year and allowed much of the negative to take over all of the positive. I found it more difficult to maintain my normal positive outlook on life. Not a good place to be in.

Sharing my personal style in hopes of inspiring all of you is a true passion of mine but there were many times where I sat down to write a style post and it left me feeling empty. Style is how KBStyled started and it is a big part of who I am but it isn’t the only part…there is so much more to me that I plan to share going into 2018. Instead of feeling empty and uninspired, I am feeling more excited about KBStyled than ever. When someone tells you that everything seems to be “all about you” it makes you pause for a long moment and reevaluate what you are doing.

Much of last year was spent comparing myself to others. Allowing my self doubt and insecurities take over and maintain a tight grip on me. I was never good enough. Everything needed to be perfect yet it wasn’t perfect. The more I compared, the unhappier I became. I felt like I needed to be someone else…change my personality…be someone who I thought others wanted me to be.

I abandoned God…not my faith but I just didn’t maintain a close relationship with God last year. There were major strongholds that I just couldn’t let go…feelings & thoughts that I just couldn’t kick. So many wrong things had a hold of me and I was weak…I wasn’t the strong resilient person that I have always been.

All this to say that I am at a point of recognition…I’ve been here for a while now and it feels so good to be open about it. Happiness and peace with ones self comes from within and we (me & YOU) are the only ones who can truly focus on what makes us happy and content.

Going forward…

There is so much that I want to accomplish in 2018…so much that I want to focus on & be better at. It starts with becoming a happier more content me.

I don’t necessarily make resolutions but I have many things in mind that I want to concentrate on. I’m working on loving myself more and treating myself more kindly. Letting go of negative feelings towards others and feelings of bitterness. Being more kind even when I may not get that in return. Being more present with my family and always remembering what’s most important in life. Reestablishing a close relationship with God.

My work here will be more intentional and more meaningful…I’m excited to see things continue to evolve here on KBStyled and I’m so honored that you will be a part of it.

If you are feeling much like I have been feeling or you have been there before, I hope you all know that you aren’t alone and that it is completely normal to experience these feelings. We learn, we grow, and hopefully become a much better “self” on the other side.

Thank you so much for being a part of my journey…I’m thankful for each and every one of you! I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2018.

Cheers to a great year ahead my friends!

Bold Yellow + Muted Metallics – Holiday Look

kbstyled — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 13:55:00 +0000

SWEATER || SKIRT || HEELS || EARRINGS || BRACELET || RINGS

Try wearing something a little less traditional for the holidays like this bold yellow sweater and this muted metallic skirt! No one wrote a rule in the holiday style book that said you had to wear red, green, black, gold, silver, etc. I personally like a bit more color and that’s why I went with this bold yellow.

Throughout the winter season, you can wear this sweater with denim too. This sweater is soft and plenty warm and the slight bell sleeve adds visual interest. If yellow isn’t your color, this sweater also comes in 5 other colors! I love it so much that I’m going to order it in a couple more colors!

This metallic skirt has an elastic waist band so it is also very comfortable to wear. Instead of wearing open toe heels, you can always wear tights and booties with this skirt as well. It is so versatile so you can truly dress it up as much as you’d like or dress it down.

Do you like wearing bold colors throughout the holidays?

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Black Sequin Holiday Dress with Floral Appliqués

DRESS || RING || HEELS

The holidays just aren’t complete without a little bit (or A LOT) of sparkle. This dress bring a major sparkle punch and it is perfect for holiday parties and so much more!

The fit and flare style is figure flattering and I love the floral appliqué design that trickles down from the shoulders…it adds such a beautiful element to this dress and it breaks up the all black backdrop.

The dress zips up the back for easy on and off styling! I sized up in this dress to ensure that the arms were not too snug. Sizing up made it slightly loose in the waist but not enough so to have to have it taken in. Overall this dress is a great fit!

Sometimes sequins can be a bit itchy too and I found that the thicker liner inside of this dress made it much more comfortable to wear!

This dress really is such a beautiful holiday dress…one that you are sure to get so many compliments on!

What festive plans do you have this holiday season?! Are you going to any parties or events that this dress would be perfect for?

As always, thanks so much for stopping by…have a great day!
