Today's post was sponsored by Belk.  All opinions are my own.

Fragrances C/O Belk


Nothing makes me feel more beautiful throughout the holidays than getting dressed up for an evening out with Peter.  We love this time of year together and as a family.  From the traditions, to the parties, to the meaning behind each holiday...it is just such a special time!

We already have some fun holiday events on our calendar and of course I'm trying to stay ahead by pre-planning my looks.  From my dress, to my heels, to my accessories, to the fragrance that I will wear...every detail matters when prepping for a holiday event.

Before slipping into my holiday dresses, I will complete my routine with a classic beautiful scent like Ralph Lauren Woman or Ralph Lauren Romance from Belk, two of my absolute favorite feminine fragrances.  Woman by Ralph Lauren embodies the essence of modern femininity with a delightful fruit and floral scent and Romance by Ralph Lauren has a woody floral scent with a touch of musk.  Both fragrances are so classic, timeless, and feminine...the most perfect beauty accessory for any woman.

Not only are these fragrances the perfect finishing beauty accessory for a special event but they are perfect for every day wear as well.  I know many of us are planning ahead and starting to do some holiday shopping and Belk will be my go-to destination for gift sets including these Ralph Lauren fragrance gift sets.

This beautiful Woman by Ralph Lauren 2-piece gift set is under $100 and this 4-piece Romance by Ralph Lauren gift set is right at $100.  Both are such beautiful gifts for the lovely ladies in your life! This is such a great value for the price!

I encourage you to shop Belk this holiday season as they have so many wonderful gift sets that are perfect for every person on your holiday check list!

I'm off...I've got some shopping to do!

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

LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS FOR HER

Many of us may already have finished our Christmas shopping yet there still may be many of us who have some final gifts to buy.  Or some that haven't even started yet.  So I thought I would round up several of my favorite gift ideas that I've recently shared on Instagram.  These are all great gift ideas for those gals in your life!



What I love most about this Kipling "Paola" backpack is its rich green velvet color!  As you've probably seen here on KBStyled and elsewhere, velvet has been a HUGE trend this season and I've personally added several new velvet pieces to my wardrobe.  Backpacks have also been trending for a while now and I can't tell you how much I love being handsfree, especially out with my family.  Not to mention, Pantone just named the color of the year for 2017 and that color is greenery so I think Kipling has nailed it on the head with this gorgeous backpack!  Plus it is super affordable!




And how adorable is this Sonix "That's Bananas" pouch?!  Priced at $45, this pouch is perfect for carrying alone or for loading up with your must haves and tossing into a tote bag.  Sonix has the most adorable, and affordable, accessories!  I personally love their phone cases too, they are adorable!




Okay...so I know many of us have been hearing about these amazing magnet masks and I've recently tried Dr. Brandt's "Magnetight Age-Defier".  I've been super pleased with this mask.  It is great for all skin types and leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated.  This would be a perfect gift for that gal in your life who loves beauty products and trying new things!




I can't say enough about OPI's "Infinite Shine" nail polish and duo pack.  I personally don't have the time to keep up gel manicures at my nail salon every two weeks.  As much as I love having beautiful nails, my schedule often times prevents me from getting to the nail salon so often.  So I've started using OPI's Infinite Shine instead and I LOVE it.  It is like having a gel manicure that you can do yourself and it doesn't require a light.  You need to use the duo kit with another Infinite Shine color and my personal favorite is "Big Apple Red".  I recommend buying the duo kit AND your favorite Infinite Shine color/colors.  Why not buy one for yourself and one for that gal in your life who loves doing her nails?!




Another nail polish that I love is Sally Hansen's "Color Therapy".  What's amazing about this particular polish is that it is infused with argan oil so it nourishes your nails while wearing it.  This would be great for someone who maybe wants to give their nails a bit of a break or who wants to treat their nails to a little more TLC!




Calling all makeup loving gals...this eye shadow palette from Make Up For Ever is an absolute STEAL!  It is only $34 and the metallic colors are perfect for creating a glam holiday look!  They are super bendable as well.  For the price, you cannot go wrong with this gorgeous palette!




The color of this Urban Expressions "Stevie" backpack is so rich and gorgeous.  I adore the shape of this backpack and how lightweight it is.  It is large enough to carry all of your essentials yet small enough to not feel weighted down!  It comes in 4 different colors and is only $80!!!  Again, this would be a great bag for the gal who is on the go and who enjoys being hands free!




Speaking of the gal on the go...every gal needs a rechargeable phone battery pack to carry in their purse.  I know we have all been there...on the brinks of 1% battery life with no way to recharge our phones.  So I don't leave home without my Bando battery pack!  Not only is it so chic and pretty to look at but it gives my phone more life and helps me stay in touch while out and about.




If I'm being honest, I have a new obsession and it is Quay Australia sunglasses!  Their sunnies are so gorgeous and great quality for a beyond affordable price!  If you are looking for unique sunglasses that make a style statement, then you must check out Quay Australia!  These are my first pair and I can't wait to get another pair...I personally have my eye on their "Stop & Stare" style!




One of my all time favorite lotions to us Jergens "Ultra Healing" lotion.  I've used this for YEARS and anytime I switch out and try something new, I always find myself coming right back.  It leaves my skin so soft and smooth and the light scent is divine!!!  Put some Jergens in your own stocking or the stocking of a loved one...they will thank you!




What woman wouldn't LOVE a beautiful pair of new heels?!  These stunning Marc Fisher patent leather pumps make such a statement.  The color is so rich and beautiful and the style is so classic.  Not to mention, patent leather elevates the look of a heel so much.  These heels are high quality for an affordable price and they come in a variety of colors!




During the winter months, I struggle with keeping my hands moisturized.  My hands tend to crack and my cuticles do as well.  I've started using OPI's Avoplex products and have definitely noticed a difference.  I've been putting this on every day and have even had Peter use it.  Both the hand lotion and the cuticle oil would make a great stocking stuffer or addition to the Infinite Shine nail polish that I shared above.

Hope you all have a great week ahead, the excitement is building in our home and we are all awaiting Santa's arrival!  As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

Perfect Holiday Gifts with New York & Company

* Today's post was in collaboration with New York & Company via Shopping Links.


Photography by Madi Flournoy Henderson

It's officially December, we are counting down the days on our advent calendar, and I still have plenty of shopping to do.  I envy those of you who have already checked everyone off of your list...BRAVO!  But I know there are others (probably many) who haven't finished shopping and who are still looking for great gift ideas!

I'm not sure who you have left to buy for but today's post is all about those amazing ladies in your life.  I have a few girlfriends still to buy for and a Secret Santa exchange coming up with a group of my friends and I've already picked out the perfect gifts from New York & Company.  I previously shared some of my favorite picks with New York & Company and you can visit that post HERE.

Speaking of Secret Santa...how fun is it that the items in today's post were picked out for me by another Blogger, Tandya, of the blog Simply Tandya (www.simplytandya.com).  New York & Company hosted a Blogger Secret Santa and we each picked out holiday inspired pieces for a Secret Santa exchange!  This was such a fun post to put together and I'll be sharing what Tandya picked out for me!











I had so much fun unwrapping my box of goodies and seeing all that was inside!  Tandya picked out a few different tops for me...this cold shoulder sweater, this off the shoulder sweater, and this embellished button down top.  She also filled my box with several gorgeous accessories including this jeweled pouch, this reversible gold card holder,  and this cosmetic case.  And how perfect are these lace up heels?!








As you can see, New York & Company has so many great gift options for those ladies in your life and they are all so affordably priced too!


Now off to finish checking those ladies off of your list...Happy Shopping friends!

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

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HER



The holidays are upon us and I'm so excited to kick off my gift guide series!  There are so many great gift guides out there but I will be searching high and low for amazing gifts that will help you check your family and friends off of your list (all while keeping your holiday shopping budget in mind because believe me, we all have one).

I hope to make your holiday shopping a bit easier and if you are anything like me, the crowds and long lines at most retailers this time of year continues to steer me more and more towards online shopping.  I'll pay a little extra for shipping if I don't have to fight traffic and wait in those long lines!

I'd also love to hear who you are shopping for this season so let me know by leaving a comment below!  If you need help, just let me know...I'm happy to help you get a jump start on your shopping this season!

Today, I've started with the ladies!  It's always much easier for me to shop for the women in my life because the options are abundant and there are just soooo many wonderful gifts for women.  So fellas, if you are reading this, take note!  I've picked just a few of my favorite gifts so far and there will be more to come.

I handpicked each of these gift ideas and I love them all but I must say that I adore these tassel earrings and these cashmere gloves (which are such a great buy)!  And personally I want to curl up in this turtleneck poncho.  What I love most about gifting a poncho or even a blanket scarf is that that both are great pieces for just about anyone.  If you aren't exactly sure of someones size, these are perfect because they are essentially 1 size fits all.

I'm all about giving the gift of comfort each season as well and this fleece robe is so dreamy!  Talk about being snuggly and warm all winter long.  Does anyone else live in their robe at home?!  I know I do!

AND I am totally OBSESSED with this druzy ring...I want one for myself!!!  It is so unique and fun...a statement piece that a jewelry loving gal in your life is sure to love!

If you are hanging in today, doing some online shopping, I hope you will take some time to check out my favorite picks for HER!

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

New York & Company Holiday Gift Guide

*Today's post was in collaboration with New York & Company via Shopping Links.




Photography by Madi Flournoy Henderson

Can you believe that the holidays are upon us?!  Thanksgiving is truly right around the corner and Christmas is just under 6 weeks away.  I love this time of year...the holiday busyness gets me even more excited and when we are out and about seeing the holiday decor everywhere it just puts me in the spirit!

If you are feeling like me, then you are probably motivated to get your holiday shopping done!  I always make my list and then start checking it twice!  Santa would be proud. ;-)

And if you are REALLY anything like me, when shopping, you often times create your own holiday wish list to share with others AND you usually buy a thing, two, or three for yourself along the way.  I know, I know...it's the time to buy for others but I just can't help myself because the deals are just too good to pass up!

Today I'm partnering with New York & Company to share my top picks for holiday!  The pieces that I am sharing are not just great gifts for those amazing women in your lives but they are also great gifts for yourself.  Yes, I said that...gifts for yourself!


One of the first things that I picked out was this Queen Bee coffee mug!  Peter often time calls me the "Queen B" so I thought this mug was a perfect little gift for myself.  I also love this as a gift any and all "Queen Bee's" that you may know in your life.  It has a soft pink background and gorgeous foil lettering.  This is sure to make sipping coffee even more fashionable!



Secondly, I picked out a couple of pair of earrings that just screamed "HOLIDAY"!  They are so cheerful, sparkly, and gorgeous.  The multi-color gold druzy earrings are a great addition to the outfit I am wearing and the colorful statement earrings just remind me of how bright and cheerful Christmas is.  I know so many women who love fashionable accessories, as I am sure you do, and New York & Company has so many wonderful gifting options!


I also picked out this gorgeous gold clutch bag as an addition to the look I am wearing.  This little bag is not only a stand out but it is totally practical for carrying less.  Sometimes, less IS more!  Think holiday parties and New Year's Eve!  I personally think this bag makes a great addition to any lady's bag collection and because of its gold color, it will go with so much.  It is sure to elevate any holiday look!



Every year I end up buying myself a new pair of gloves and I could not resist these fun sleek black gloves with a poof accent!  How great are these?!  These are so stylish yet perfect for every day wear.  There is nothing boring about these beauties and they are sure to keep your hands warm while keeping your look put together and polished!


And how about this gorgeous outfit?!  This look is so holiday and perfect for wearing to any party that you have plans to attend! The embellished button down shirt fits like a dream and the shoulder detail is my absolute fav!  And this gold mesh skirt is funky, fun, and sophisticated all wrapped into one pretty package.  I love pairing a classic top such as a button down with a skirt that is a bit more edgy!  Wear a pair of great heels (I'm thinking red...even more festive) to elevate your look even more!  Wear the multi-colored gold druzy earrings and the gold bag for a finished, holiday party ready, look!



Last but certainly not least...this leopard print fur jacket!  It stops me in my tracks, that is how gorgeous it is!  Leopard jackets/coats are trending right now and this one is beyond perfect to wear throughout the holiday season.  Again, this jacket looks beautiful paired with your holiday looks but it is also a great option to style with jeans too!  This may just have to be a gift for yourself...I couldn't resist!


So tell me, who are you shopping for this holiday season and which item from today's gift guide is your favorite?!

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