I AM DESTIN - Kimberly Brundage
What is your hometown, what brought you
to the Emerald Coast and how long have you
been here?
I was born in Ohio, but grew up in Spring, TX. I am
truly a Texas Girl at heart. My husband and I moved
here in 2000 for work in the payment processing
business. We have now been here a little over 16 years
and have raised two beautiful teenagers.
What is your profession and give brief
description of what you do?
I am a Wardrobe Consultant (aka Closet Therapist!)
and own a company called Style By Kimberly. I have
about 24 years of experience dressing women of all
ages and sizes. I basically help them clean out their
closets, get more organized and then teach them how
to pull together the best outfi ts for their body types.
Stylists aren’t just for celebrities anymore and are
more affordable than you think!
What led you to this profession?
Over the years I have fi gured out the tips and tricks
of looking like a million bucks on a budget. I have
experience in all facets of wardrobing from owning
boutiques, design degree, buying, merchandising,
commercial styling, photo shoot styling, sorority prep,
and elevating your looks to another level.
What do you like best about Destin? What
makes it unique?
I absolutely love that this beautiful town embraces
our local artists, creatives and entrepreneurs. I think
we all settled here because we wanted a “stop and
smell the roses” kind of life. We have so many talented
people swirling around us. I think it’s so important we
support our local businesses even if it means spending
a few dollars more than we saw online. This town has
seen some hard times but we rebuild together, protect
our beaches, protect our fi shing industries and we
treat our artists like Rockstars!
Three words that best describe you.
Friendly, Compassionate, Loyal
Favorite Things you like about Destin.
This sleepy little fi shing village stole my heart.
Finish this statement, I AM DESTIN because…
I wasn’t born here, but instead CHOSE to make it
Home.
