Mother’s Day is coming up faster than fashion trends go out of style. This means the time is NOW to find that perfect gift for Mom! Thankfully, Westgate Shopping Center in San Jose, on the corner of Saratoga Avenue and West Campbell Avenue, has exactly what Mom needs this Mother’s Day. Love that!

Westgate Shopping Center has a large selection of fabulous stores which happen to already be Mom’s favorite places to shop! Westgate is home to Nordstrom Rack, Burlington Coat Factory, The Gap Outlet, J. Crew Factory Store, Famous Footwear, Payless Shoe Source, Target, Michael’s, Ross, Luxury Perfumes, and more! In addition to great shopping, Westgate recently opened a Veggie Grill, and is also home to yummy eateries including Sushi Boat, Smashburger, and Starbucks.

There are so many great gift options for Mom at Westgate, so I picked out a few fabulous gift ideas from four of Westgate’s retailers to get you started.

J.Crew Factory

J. Crew Factory Store is a fabulous one-stop-shop for Mom this Mother’s Day. The store is filled with the perfect outfits for summer; plus it has a large selection of statement necklaces, scarves, handbags, and shoes. We know Mom LOVES shoes! If there are too many choices, Mom will love a gift card from J. Crew Factory Store. As a Mom, I have my eye on several pieces from J. Crew Factory. My picks are shown above.

Famous Footwear

Does Mom love shoes? Of course she does!!! This means Famous Footwear is the place to find her the ideal Mother’s Day gift. Famous Footwear is well-stocked with fabulous sandals for summer, and athletic shoes for her fitness routine. The store is filled with famous brands at rock-bottom prices. That’s win/win for you and Mom! My favorite shoes from in-store are pictured above. The blue sandals are calling my name; perhaps they are calling your Mom’s name too!

Paradise Collections is a fabulous jewelry kiosk located in the middle of Westgate Shopping Center to the left of Ross. The kiosk is filled with beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings; and the prices are amazing! Mom will be thrilled to receive a fabulous piece of jewelry from Paradise Collections. I am in love with the seahorse. Isn’t it fabulous?!

Luxury Perfumes

Luxury Perfumes is an amazing fragrance shop located near Nordstrom Rack at Westgate Shopping Center. This sweet-smelling shop features a large selection of fragrances which are sure to delight Mom this Mother’s Day. The store features a large selection of gift sets which make shopping for a gift easy. There is also a section dedicated to older fragrances which are extremely difficult to find in department stores, online, and elsewhere. They have Georgio in stock! That was extremely popular in the 1980’s. Mom will be thrilled if you gave her a fragrance she cannot find on store shelves anymore!

In addition to fragrances for Mom, Luxury Perfumes has a large selection of fragrances for men and children. Love that!

Denim is a huge trend for the spring and summer 2015 seasons. Denim and chambray fabric are being shown on every type clothing, and every type of accessory, one can imagine. With denim being such a huge trend right now, it is no wonder that denim shoes are a hot accessory for the spring and summer 2015 seasons.

One of the easiest ways to update your wardrobe with a trend, is with a pair of shoes! They can be worn with multiple outfits and, well, they are shoes! Need I say more? We love shoes 🙂

Denim shoes for spring and summer 2015 are being shown in every style imaginable for the warm weather season. There are so many options including, denim pumps, denim espadrilles, denim sandals, denim wedges, denim sneakers; and denim everything! Despite the dressy nature of pumps, when they are denim, they are instantly taken down a notch. This means denim pumps can be worn as a way to add a little sass to an otherwise casual outfit when you are not in the mood for flats. Love that!

The shade of denim on shoes for spring and summer 2015 is up to you! Although the majority of denim shoes are being shown in a medium “wash,” there are plenty of pale shades, and dark indigo shades, on shoes for spring and summer 2015. There is a shade of denim for every taste this season. Versatility=perfection 😉

Is the 1970’s trend your vibe this season? Groovy! Denim wedges are a great way to rock two trends at once; 70’s wedges and 2015 denim. Modern meets vintage, love that!

I found a few fabulous wedges, pumps, flats, espadrilles, and sandals in denim for the spring and summer 2015 seasons and assembled them into the shopping widgets below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous. 😉

Spring has sprung! I love the moderate weather we have been having. It is always nice to enjoy warm weather which hovers in the high 60’s and 70’s. I also love all the blossoms and greenery this time of year. Spring is my favorite season! Since spring is in full swing, it is high time to ensure our wardrobes are prepared for this perfect weather.

The easiest way to update ones’ spring wardrobe is through accessories. I love the spring 2015 collection at the Donald J Pliner shop at Satana Row in San Jose. Donald J Pliner has a wide selection of on-trend shoes and handbags which are perfect for the spring 2015 season. Love that!

The store is full of cool cork, street-smart slip-on sneakers, casual sandals, fabulous wedges (like mine!), and eye catching high heels. It is a one-stop-shop for spring! Perfection 😉

This pair of metallic wedges from Donald J Pliner are my go-to casual shoes for spring. They have an of-the-moment white sole, cool cork wedge, and soft metallic leather. The interior is smooth, soft, and comfortable! I can walk, and stand for hours in these wedges; I can even chase my kids if they run off! A must-have feature for us Moms; fashionable shoes which can double as running shoes! Ha!

These wedges by Donald J Pliner look fabulous with this season’s flare jeans, midi skirts, maxi skirts, mini skirts, shorts, dresses; the list goes on! They look great with everything, let’s just put it that way. 😉

To see these wedges, and the entire spring 2015 collection by Donald J Pliner, please stop into the Donald J Pliner store at Santana Row or visit Donald J Pliner online at donaldjpliner.com.
