Is Nashville on your list of places to visit?! Have you visited multiple times or are you in the process of booking your trip?! I'll let you in on a little secret...I. LOVE. OUR. CITY and you will too!!! Nashville is becoming more cool by the day (and more crowded too...sigh) AND there is so much more that I plan to share with you about our amazing city!
One of the questions that I receive most often is "Where should I stay when visiting Nashville?" and I've been sharing some of my favorite Nashville hotels over the last several months. Each hotel is unique in its own way and I plan to continue giving you peeks into some of the best in town. I want you to have a comprehensive list and then be able to make the decision on where you'd like to stay while visiting!
Often times people travel in for a special occasion...maybe it's just you and your significant other or you are traveling in with a group of friends. Whomever your travel plans may include, booking a suite may be one of the very best ways to experience one of Nashville's best boutique hotels, Noelle Nashville.
Noelle Nashville's signature suites make you feel right at home...they had the right idea by creating spaces that ooze comfort and southern hospitality. Their suites are spacious, comfortable, and effortless. The decor & furniture is modern yet not stuffy and there are plenty of nods to Nashville throughout. Living the suite life at Noelle is the way to go...I promise you will feel right at home! Even if you choose not to stay in a suite, their standard rooms are wonderful as well. Each room has king sized beds in it, which is so hard to find!
While staying at Noelle, enjoy lunch or dinner at Makeready (read my review HERE), sit for a cup of coffee in their gorgeous lobby, or shop for something special at their onsite curated specialty boutique.
Noelle Nashville will ensure that you have a wonderful stay and I know from first hand experience, you will definitely enjoy your time there!
As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day. See you back here real soon!
I've never met a guacamole that I don't like, have you?! Those who know me well will tell you that I'm the person who will order two appetizers or sides of guacamole just to ensure that there is enough to go around (I'm a bit stingy, ha)! You can honestly never have enough guac.
I'll never forget trying guacamole for the first time when we were living in Newport Beach, CA. My taste buds exploded and I was a little mad at myself for not trying it before then...I had been missing out. But needless to say, my obsession with guacamole started with that first taste and my obsession has only grown over the years. I'll order it anytime it's available and I especially love making it at home.
So today, I'll be sharing my guacamole flight...3 different versions of guacamole and all 3 are sure to please and keep you (and everyone else) coming back for more! My mouth is watering as I type this!
The beauty of guacamole is that you can get creative and it is as simple as putting all of the ingredients in a bowl, mixing, and letting it set in the refrigerator for a few hours so the flavors can meld together.
Kicking off my flight with something a little sweet and a little spicy...
PINEAPPLE GUACAMOLE
3 ripe avocados
1 jalapeno (stem and seeds removed...mince jalapeño)
1 1/2 cups of fresh pineapple diced (reserve some for topping0
1/2 cup of red onion (finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon of course salt (more to taste)
dash or two of ground cumin
*mix all ingredients together, refrigerate for a couple of hours, and then top with fresh pineapple...serve with blue corn tortilla chips and then enjoy!
Next up and possibly one of my favorites...a guacamole that has an Italian twist...
FETA TOMATO GUACAMOLE
2-3 ripe avocados
2 plum tomatoes (chopped)
1/4 cup of red onion (finely chopped)
1 clove of garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon of fresh Italian parsley or basil
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
salt to taste
4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese (and more for topping)
*mix all ingredients together, refrigerate for a couple of hours, and then top with feta cheese...serve with pita chips or even small crostini and then enjoy!
And of course I couldn't make a flight of guacamole without making a traditional guac...
CLASSIC GUACAMOLE
3 ripe avocados
1 lime (squeezed)
1/2 teaspoon of course salt (more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/4 cup of red onion (finely chopped)
1/2 jalapeno pepper (seeded and finely diced)
2 roma tomatoes (diced)
1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro (add more if you love cilantro, reserve some for topping)
1 clove of garlic (minced)
*mix all ingredients together, refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving...top with additional cilantro and serve with traditional pita chips or veggie sticks (peppers cucumbers, etc)...serve and enjoy!
Let me know if you decided to try any of these recipes! Would love to know what you think!

This bold bright floral wrap midi skirt is one of my absolute favorite summer pieces. From the print, to the wrap style, to the ruffle high low hemline, there is just so much to love about this skirt.
Take this skirt from day to night and take it on your next vacation too! It's perfect to throw on over your swimsuit or wear out to dinner. I've paired it with the prettiest crisp white crop top with lace trim as well as some fun bold accessories! Wear this skirt with a fitted tank, a slouchy tee, or whatever your heart desires...it would look great with so many different tops.
The top, skirt, and shoes are all currently on sale...even better! The skirt and the top are both priced right at $35 each...such a steal for an adorable summer look that is super versatile.
How would you style this skirt?!

I'm always drawn to bright bold colors this time of year so when I saw this gorgeous rainbow colored striped pleated maxi dress on New York & Company's website, I knew I had to have it! The colors immediately drew me in and I love the striped pleats and the high neckline too.
This dress is perfect for many different occasions...think weddings, nights out, vacation, or even a casual day time outing with a great sandal and boaters hat! You will be grabbing for this dress time and time again. You can have so much fun accessorizing this dress as well...I chose these bold striped statement earrings and this rainbow colored handbag to complete my look!
Speaking of color, I also wanted to share a few additional New York & Company bright, bold, and colorful pieces that I'm loving right now!
Striped V-Neck Wrap Maxi Dress - how fun and colorful is this dress?! I love the wrap style, flattering on most figures, and the v-neck neckline as well. Not to mention, the vertical stripe is a great way to elongate your natural shape and make you look taller!
Pleated Halter Maxi Dress - I just ordered this dress in purple and it comes in a gorgeous "tea berry" stripe too! Again, bold and colorful...this dress is a stand out!
Rainbow Striped Maxi Skirt- Everyone woman needs at least one amazing maxi skirt in their closet. If you love color as I do, then you will definitely love the bright bold colorful maxi skirt. The vertical stripe elongates your look as well...major win in my book! You can dress this skirt up or down making it such a versatile piece for your wardrobe.
Striped Wrap Blouse - From the colorful stripe to the bell sleeve, I love this striped blouse! I would wear this with distressed denim shorts and a great pair of wedge sandals for a perfect summer look!
Are you also drawn to color this time of year?! Which New York & Company piece is your favorite?
As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day! See you back here real soon!

If you are a regular reader of KBStyled, you know how much I love New York & Company! I've shopped from New York & Company for years and I can always find such great pieces at even better prices! This spring season I have shared some of my favorites from the Eva Mendes and Gabrielle Union spring collections and today, I'm excited to share some of my other favorite pieces from New York & Company!
I'm constantly browsing New York & Company's website and most recently I have been drawn in by all of the color and fun vibrant prints! There are so many pieces that have stood out to me and I end up finding that my cart is almost always full!
Here are just a few of the pieces that I am loving right now, many of which I have purchased already or are sitting in my cart just waiting to be purchased!
Gabrielle Union Collection Colorblock Wrap Dress: If you watch my Instastories, you will have seen me in this dress just yesterday! I love the vibrant colors and I also love that this is a wrap dress. Wrap dresses are flattering on almost all body types. This dress is very flattering on and it's perfect for a night out on the town!
Pleated Striped Halter Maxi Dress:It's hard not to be drawn to this dress...the gorgeous vibrant colors immediately catches your eye and the maxi silhouette makes for an easy going fit that is not only comfortable but very flattering. This dress can be worn for so many different occasions. Have fun with this one...you can never wear too much color (big fan of color here!).
Black Tassel Accent Shift Dress: This dress will be the life of the party...whether an office party or a birthday party you will have so much fun wearing this dress. The form fitted style hugs your body to accentuate you in all of the right places and the layers of tassels break up a classic dress and add a major dose of fun!
Rainbow Stripe Maxi Skirt: Everyone woman needs at least one amazing maxi skirt in their closet. If you love color as I do, then you will definitely love the bright bold colorful maxi skirt. The vertical stripe elongates your look as well...major win in my book! You can dress this skirt up or down making it such a versatile piece for your wardrobe. If you prefer pants...check out these stripe crop palazzo pants!
Stripe Ruffle V-Neck Wrap Dress: Can you tell I have a thing for stripes?! They are just so classic! There is so much to love about this dress...the wrap silhouette (again, so figure flattering for most), the black and white classic stripe, and the ruffle detail! This will be a great addition to your closet and can also be dressed up or dressed down a bit.
White Eyelet Maxi Dress: If you love a great white dress for spring & summer, this white eyelet maxi dress is the perfect dress. I love the off the shoulder style and the eyelet detail is absolutely gorgeous!
Floral Tie-Front Romper: Okay...you know I couldn't mention my favorites without having at least one floral piece in my list. I love the bold red backdrop of this floral romper and the floral/paisley print is subtle yet noticeable! I also love a great romper and this one gets 5 stars!
Stripe Ruffle Maxi Skirt: I am absolutely smitten with this stripe ruffle maxi skirt! I recently saw this on their site and had to have it. The color and stripe are just perfect and the ruffles add such a beautiful feminine touch. Similar to wrap dresses, wrap skirts are also flattering on most! Even better, this skirt is on sale and in my opinion, a must have! Pair it with this adorable white cold shoulder blouse!
Green Floral Strapless Sheath Dress: You say floral, strapless, and sheath in the same sentence and my reply is...I'll take it! This figure hugging sheath dress creates a very feminine and beautiful silhouette. The bold floral print on a gorgeous green backdrop make this dress a total knockout! Have some weddings or showers to attend this summer? This dress is perfect for those occasions and so many more!
Gabrielle Union Collection Stripe Paperbag-waist short: I wore these shorts yesterday in my Instastories and so many of you had questions about them. Paperbag-waist shorts are trending this season so I was happy to have had such a good experience with my very first pair. They fit very well and aren't super short either! Wear these to the soccer fields on the weekends and then out at night with some heels for a girls night out look!
As you can see, there are soooooo many great pieces this spring from New York & Company! Let me know what you decide to get for yourself and stay tuned as I'll be sharing posts very soon featuring several of the pieces that I have mentioned today!

Today's post is a mini post as I wanted to share one of my favorite rompers with you all! I intended to share this a while back however, I just never got around to it. Better late than never, right?!
This one is almost sold out but there are a few sizes still available. The embroidery detail is gorgeous and this romper offers a relaxed comfortable fit. It's the perfect romper for summer date nights or girls nights out.
Shop this romper before it sells out! Love rompers as much as I do?! Check out more of my favorites HERE & HERE!

Creating a comfortable and chic outdoor space is not only fun to do but it is also easy to do when you can shop from the comfort of your own home! As a busy Momma with two kiddos who are now out for summer, I don't have a lot of spare time to go shopping, which is why I spend much more time shopping online!
I've spent many hours recently browsing Walmart.com for our outdoor space updates and I've been so thrilled with how user friendly their new website is! Not only is it a beautiful site but more importantly it is very easy to navigate. I've been able to find exactly what I am looking for (and MORE) and I've had so much fun shopping! Their new website is clean looking and well organized. I also appreciate how great the product images are as I can easily get a feel for what each product truly looks like and how it will fit into our outdoor space.
Walmart.com has a great selection of outdoor living and decor pieces at amazing everyday low prices. I love that I'm able to create a beautiful outdoor space with high quality items and still stay within our budget.
I wanted to share with you some of the items that we've selected for part of our outdoor refresh so I've created a collage below!
Have you given your outdoor space a refresh this spring? If you are looking for great outdoor living inspiration, you must visit Walmart.com...I guarantee you will also spend hours browsing their new site, planning out your outdoor space refresh!
As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great start to your week! See you back here real soon.
