Spring Trend - Jacquard Embroidered Blazers

JACKET (LOVE THIS, THIS, AND THIS TOO...SIZE UP) || TOP || DENIM (SIMILAR) || HEELS || HANDBAG C/O

Jacquard embroidered blazers and jackets are a hot trend for spring and I'm completely on board with this trend!  In fact...I can't get enough.  Someone intervene NOW because I can't stop buying fun unique blazers/jackets like the one I'm wearing in today's post!  The colors and the textures are just beautiful and adding a fun punchy blazer to your wardrobe is a great way to instantly update your looks.

I've paired this blazer with a crisp white button down and distressed denim, however you can also dress it down even more by wearing a tee or tank underneath.  Want to elevate your look...throw a great blazer on over a maxi dress for polished, feminine, chic look.  I'll personally be wearing mine all ways but I can't wait to wear it with a pair of distressed denim shorts, a slouchy boyfriend tee, and some open back mules.

What pre-spring trends are you loving right now?!

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

Open Back Sweater

SWEATER C/O || DENIM || BOOTS || BAG C/O || LIPSTICK

Wow...what a week it has been so far.  Donald Trump is our new President Elect.  I spent 48 hours on Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas (which was AMAZING and I can't wait to share more), and today is Veteran's Day.  What a week to remember.

Not to mention, it actually now feels like Fall in Nashville.  I'm pretty sure we have all been waiting for these cooler temps and they are finally here!  I have a lot of fun posts planned for KBStyled and I will be getting into holiday shortly so stay tuned.

In the meantime, today is all about this gorgeous grey open back sweater!  All business in the front and a party in the back!  Some of you may be intimidated by how open the back is and if you are, all you have to do is wear a cute lace brallete or even a cami/tank.  I personally will be wearing this Free People wine colored brallette when I wear this sweater again.  If you want to cover you entire back or wish for more warmth, this sweater is perfect for layering and you can wear anything under it.  The peek-a-boo back is so fun that it would even be cute if you had a striped top peeking out or even a solid color tee.  This would also look cute layered over a slip dress!

Are you adventurous when it comes to wearing a sweater or top like this?

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Vici Hocus Off The Shoulder Dress

DRESS C/O || CLUTCH C/O || HEELS || EARRINGS || NECKLACE 

Off the shoulder, bell sleeves, fringe detail, aztec print, and an even more amazing price (under $60)...what's not to LOVE about this Hocus Off The Shoulder dress from VICI?!  I've been loving anything off the shoulder this season so this dress caught my eye right away.

I wore this dress to dinner for Peter's birthday and have worn it a couple of times since.  It's truly such  a fun dress to wear for date night, girls night out, etc.  Dress it down with a pair of sandals and throw on a wide brim hat for a stroll through the farmers market or a weekend lunch date.

Black strappy sandals look great with this dress but I also love a simple nude strappy sandal as well as it helps elongate your legs!  I must mention that this dress can also be worn early Fall...pair it with a great pair of booties and a moto jacket and you are set.

Where would you wear this fun flirty number to?!

Also, don't forget that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale kicks off this week!!!  This Thursday, 7/14/16, Nordstrom cardholders will receive early access to shop all sale items!!!  Not a card holder?  Don't worry...you still have time to sign up before the sale kicks off.

Although we are only half way through the summer, it is never to early to start preparing to update your fall wardrobe with new pieces, especially when they are marked down up to 40% off.  Stock up on boots, denim, coats, sweaters, etc!

Keep in mind that many items will sell out quickly so mark your calendar now, if you haven't already ;-), and get your laptop charged up!

The sale will open to the non-cardholders on 7/22/16.

I will be dedicating some blog posts to the sale as well, so be sure to check back here, and on Instagram, for some of my top picks.

Excited to shop with you and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to leave a comment below or message me on Instagram.

Running It Back In A Leaf Romper

ROMPER || HEELS || BAG C/O || RINGS C/O

My Hubby and I have this saying...when something is soooo good that you need to repeat it, we say "run it back"!  So today, I am "running it back" in this leaf romper!

If you saw Wednesday's post, I shared that I just can't get enough of rompers right now...hence another amazing romper in today's post!

I adore the large leaf print on this roll-tab sleeve romper...the colors are gorgeous, vibrant, and bold!  The roll tab sleeve allows you to wear the sleeve at 3/4 length or longer and the mandarin color adds a nice little subtle twist at the neckline.  This particular romper is currently on sale too...score!

p.s for a size reference I am wearing a size 4!

So...are you on the romper bandwagon yet?!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.  It's Friday y'all...gotta love a short work week and a weekend right around the corner.  Have a great day!

Baukjen Leopard Print Jumpsuit

JUMPSUIT C/O (15% OFF WITH CODE KBSTYLED15) || HEELS || BAG C/O || NECKLACE C/O

I've never met a leopard print that I didn't like...truly.  And there aren't too many jumpsuits that I've met that I didn't like either.  Put the two together and sparks start flying...its love at first sight.  Baukjen definitely had the right idea!

The fit of this jumpsuit is modern and structured yet super easy and relaxed.  The material is soft and it is beyond comfortable to wear.  Dress this jumpsuit up with heels or create a much more relaxed look with a top knot and a pair of flip flops.  However you style it, you will have a modern chic look.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.  Happy Friday and I wish you all a great start to your weekend!

Black Bodycon Dress

DRESS C/O || SUNNIES C/O (SIMILAR HERE) || RING C/O || BAG C/O || WATCH C/O || HEELS

Does this black body con dress need an introduction?!  I think not...it speaks for itself.  If you love a great form fitting body hugging dress, this knot knit dress from Ily Couture is the perfect dress.

Wearing this dress makes me feel like I should be taking on the town in South Beach, Miami.  It is such a sexy dress yet it is classy too and it shows just the right amount of skin.  I was feeling rather sassy in this dress.

I also love the side knot because it adds a little ruching around your waistline.  I'll admit that I didn't mind having a little extra fabric around my waistline. ;-)

I've accessorized this look with some gorgeous pieces also from Ily Couture like this triple cross knuckle ring and this FAB watch!  The sunnies that I am wearing sold out so quickly, however I've found a similar pair here.  If you love the sunnies I am wearing, I would encourage you to keep a watch on Ily Couture's website as they just may be restocking them!

I also wanted to share with you all that I am working on a post for Friday where I will be sharing more about my experience on Whole 30 and how I have lost 20lbs up to this point.  I hope you will stop back by tomorrow as well!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Casual Chic with Fab'rik Nashville

| Photos | Catherine Truman Photo

TOP C/O || DENIM C/O || SANDALS || BAG C/O 

Tee's have a completely new meaning to me.  There is nothing basic about this PPLA Clothing striped side slit tee from Fab'rik Nashville.

This tee is by far one of the most comfortable most chic tee's that I own.   The side slit detail and high low hemline makes this tee stand out amongst all of those boring basic tees that we all have in our closets.  I'm guilty...I have one too many of those boring basic tees.   

It's time to trade up my friends.  Invest in a tee or two that takes your casual "jeans & tee" look to a whole new level.

Speaking of jeans...I was recently introduced to D1961 denim and Im so glad that I was because this particular pair (also available at Fab'rik Nashville) has become my absolute favorite pair of jeans.  I literally have been wearing them EVERY DAY!

Something you should know about this brand is that they will not stretch out!  Wear them 50 times and they will always fit the same way they did the very first time you put them on.  If you are going to invest in a great pair of jeans, I highly recommend that you check out D1961 denim.  Just try them on because I can promise you, you will not want to take them off, that's how amazing they are!

If you live locally, stop into Fab'rik and try both of these pieces on!  I've also linked the top & denim above.  You may also order directly from our local store:

Dainty Jewell's "Marvelous" Dress

| Photos | Sweet Magnolia Photos

DRESS C/O || EYEWEAR C/O || EARRINGS C/O || BRACELET C/O || BAG C/O

This dress from Dainty Jewell's is in fact "MARVELOUS"!  Everything about it is perfection...it is super soft, beyond comfortable, AND it has pockets.  Who else loves a dress with pockets?!  What more could you ask for?!

Although this color is not available, this "marvelous" dress comes in mocha and charcoal, which are two neutral colors that can be styled so many different ways.  This is also the perfect dress to transition into spring.  It is heavy enough to wear with tights and booties now, yet light enough to wear with heels or wedge sandals in the spring.

I'm all for comfy beautiful pieces that are functional throughout the year and this dress hits the mark...BIG TIME!  Plus it is under $50...yet another star in my book.

This dress is meant to fit loosely..for a size reference, I am wearing a size small!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and cheers to being almost half way through the week!

Five Sparrows Boutique Batwing Dress

DRESS C/O || BOOTS C/O || BAG C/O || EARRINGS || HAND CHAIN || RING

There are many times when I sit down to write my blog post and realize that I want to tell you all just how much I LOVE something.  And I know there have been many times where I have professed my love for the dress that I was wearing but let's be honest, I'm kind of obsessed with great dresses.

Today is no different because I'm sharing with you truly how much I LOVE this comfortable batwing sleeve dress from Five Sparrows Boutique!  This dress is by far one of the most comfortable dresses that I own and it is one of those pieces that I can throw on without any thought and just go.  What's not to love about the color of this dress too?  Rust is not a common color and that's what makes me love this dress even more.  

Have you fallen for this dress yet?!  If you need just a little more convincing...telling you that it is only $32 may just do the trick! ;-)

Throw on some gorgeous boots like these "Penny" boots from Tecovas, a great bag (check out this "Fast Lane" bag from Hobo), and some fun accessories and you have a chic yet simple look!

p.s I am wearing a size small...this dress is intended to fit loosely and oversized.  Embrace it and rock it ladies!

Hope you all have a great start to your week and I appreciate you taking the time to read today's post!
