The new Kendra Scott Santana Row store is almost here! On Saturday, June 18, starting at 10am, the new Kendra Scott boutique in San Jose, at Santana Row, will open it’s doors! They will also be celebrating their new shop by offering a gift with purchase of $75 or more. In addition, there will also be yummy sips, and sweets available while you shop! I’m so excited!

If you have been following along, you may have noticed I wear A TON of Kendra Scott baubles. I fell in love with her collection when I was introduced to it at New York Fashion Week in September 2013. My heart was captured with a beautiful golden cuff bracelet with fringe! Yes! Fringe! I still wear this bracelet often, garnering compliments wherever I go. Love that!

Since then,  I have been stocking up on everything I love from Kendra Scott. She has beautiful classics, as well as cutting-edge pieces. There is a piece of jewelry for every type of occasion in her collection. It is fabulous!

I have included all of my favorite pieces from Kendra Scott’s current collection in the scroll bar below. Some I have purchased, others I wish I could! (I need to plant a money tree in my yard, ha!). You can see all these pieces, and more, at the new Kendra Scott Santana Row store opening event on June 18th! I hope to see you there!

If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, you have heard of Vardy’s Jewelers. They are located in Cupertino at 10227 South De Anza Blvd. If you have not heard of them, then this is a special day!

Vardy’s Jewelers is a family owned jewelry store filled with highly skilled European Goldsmiths. They can work magic on old, broken jewelry by bringing new life to it, or design a special piece from scratch! In addition to original works, Vardy’s Jewelers is filled with beautiful jewelry by designers; as well as Hearts on Fire! If you have not seen a Hearts on Fire diamond in person, then you have never seen a diamond! Let’s get this straight; nothing sparkles with fire more than a Hearts on Fire diamond. I am dreaming of one!

Last Thursday, Vardy’s Jewelers celebrated 35 years of business with an intimate party. This family owned shop has been well-loved in Silicon Valley for over three decades; and is the ultimate go-to store for fine jewelry. Everyone knows Vardy! He is the one who can redesign your jewels, create a new, special piece, or find something ready-made for any special occasion; or just to celebrate life!

Since Mother’s Day is a few days away, I thought showcasing my favorite pieces from Vardy’s Jewelers is must!  Pictured in this post are the pieces that would make a perfect gift for Mom this upcoming Mother’s Day. They would also make fabulous graduation gifts too.

I am in love with the vintage necklace pictured below. Ah-hem, are my kids reading this? Better yet, my husband, who does the paying, needs to look at this picture! I know my kids really want to give it to me for Mother’s Day. Hint hint, nudge, nudge. 😉

In the bottom photo, I am posing with the fabulous Fanya Hull, of Vardy’s Jewlers. She has designed jewelry with her Father for me in the past; and is extremely talented. She has fabulous style, so if you need help choosing the right style of jewelry for a gift, or for yourself-look for her! She will even help you find the right baubles for a specific outfit or occasion. Love that!

You can learn more about Vardy’s Jewelers online at Vardys.com. Definitely stop in and check out everything that sparkles in the store for Mother’s Day, a graduation, or yourself! You won’t leave empty handed. I am sure you will love everything 🙂

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Did you see the title? Oh yes, it is true! Kendra Scott will be opening a store this summer at Santana Row! Yes! The South Bay has never been so excited!

On March 23, 2016 Kendra Scott parked their famous Airstream trailer at Santana Row. It was part of their California tour which covered parts of Southern, and Northern, California. In addition to their tour, the Airstream also promoted the anticipated opening of Kendra Scott’s new boutique on Santana Row this upcoming June. How excited are we!!!

The event brought together local bloggers for a fabulous lunch at The Village Cafe on Santana Row with the Kendra Scott team, and also a shopping extravaganza! Kendra Scott featured popular pieces from her current collection which were sold straight out of the trailer! Want to know the fabulous part of the sale? A portion of the proceeds went to charity! Love that!

To celebrate the event, and impending store opening, I donned a few of my classic Kendra Scott favorites with a bright blue dress. Of course the entire outfit was assembled around my Kendra Scott Harlow necklace in white. How could it not be? It was a Kendra Scott celebration!

It was a fun event. Not only did we get to view Kendra Scott’s collection, and talk about the upcoming opening of the new store, I was able to catch up with some of my fabulous, local blogger friends, and also meet new blogger friends! Social event + jewelry = amazing!

If you missed the Kendra Scott Airstream trailer at Santana Row, never fear! The new store at Santana Row will open this summer in June located across from Cocola. It will be jewelry heaven!
