About
What is
“the Lifestyle” ?
Kimball Kensington Lifestyle is a US based creative brand and lifestyle blog, dedicated to being a source of inspiration for the over – 40, but young at heart, who appreciate quality, luxury, fashion, family, nourishing food, entertaining, decorating, classic beauty, and a little whimsey.
From day to day life to celebrating life’s biggest moments, Kimball Kensington Lifestyle provides content and recommendations to be both inspirational and attainable while elevating the simple things in life.
Kimball Kensington Lifestyle is old fashioned in the belief that manners and etiquette are as important today as ever before. And kindness to others and ourselves is always in style. “Chivalry is not dead, it just needs revived” is often heard being said by Lorrie.
Kimball Kensington Lifestyle is a believer of the elegant approach to style. Classic styles are an investment to serve a lifetime. Whether it is the appreciation of a fabulous, quality handbag, a vintage broach or scarf, invest in the best you can afford and pieces you LOVE. Build a wardrobe over time, and a home filled with selections that truly speak to you, not just fill up space.
Kimball Kensington Lifestyle is creative in the belief that entertaining should be exciting, and simple with the goal of creating a memorable dining experience with the focus on people. I coined the term “Nibble & Nosh” and will teach you how to entertain by keeping it simple yet always elegant. It is all in the extra touches.
Experiences with family and friends; the food, the table, the and the conversation. Kimball Kensington Lifestyle is trendy in the belief that anyone can toss whimsey into your world and make it your own personal style.
Everything from my fashion, interior and beauty choices to how I spend my spare time is influenced and inspired by these simple questions; 1. Do I love it? 2. Is it classic and will it stand the test of time? 3. Will it work with what I already own or does it have a purpose or place?
I’m so grateful that you’ve chosen to be here and look forward to welcoming you into my world.
We have so much to talk about, let’s get started.

Meet Lorrie
Wife, Mother,
Hello Lovely Ladies and Fashionable Friends! Welcome to Kimball Kensington Lifestyle.
I’m Lorrie, content creator, over – 40, curvy-girl, fashion lover and aficionado of all things classic and elegant. I have been married to my best-friend SPB for over 25 years and we have two fashionable tween-teen girls, Sutton Kimball and Sloane Kensington. Together, we are living “The Kimball-Kensington Lifestyle.”
The love of fashion and entertaining were instilled at a very young age; my mother has always been my style inspiration. Her classic and feminine style, red lipstick, amazing shoes and a jewelry box that held hours of dress up entertainment for me as a young girl. From the moment I could turn the pages of her fashion magazines, I was hooked.
My style motto and approach are two lessons instilled from my Father, “quality over quantity” and “simplicity is the essence of elegance.” I will always share real-life style inspiration and recommendations for modern women of all ages or body shapes. You will see me re-styling pieces in multiple ways, lifestyle hacks to extend the life of your investments, and honest reviews with suggestions for products I utilize and love.
I love the creative process! It inspires me to produce simple, beautiful and useable content for “The Lifestyle.” This is also a place I can strive to be a positive role model for my daughters, and encourager of women. Demonstrating hard work, encouragement of others and confidence have value in the world regardless of size, shape, or age.
Cheers to being perfectly imperfect!
A Few of My Favorite Things

Fashion allows for individual expression and creativity. Motivation, posture, mood, confidence are all influenced by how we feel. The power of fashion play into making you feel your best.
04. Champagne & Pomme Frites
Pomme Frites (French Fries are one of the best foods to pair with a glass of champagne. the saltiness and crunchiness of french fries are the perfect complement to champagne’s bubbles and acidity. Trust me on this treat.

I have traveled the United States speaking on the topic of etiquette and manners! “CHIVALRY is not dead, it just needs recessitated.”

Family is my everything. I value every minute we spend together. And, I consider my friends a part of my family!
