If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, you may be aware that a new JCrew Factory Store has opened up at Westgate Mall in the West San Jose area of the South Bay. If you are unaware, let me just tell you, it is amazing! 

JCrew is a fabulous destination for Fashionistas living in Silicon Valley. The company’s style offers casual and corporate casual looks which are ideal for our lifestyle here in Northern California. Everything inside the JCrew Factory Store at Westgate Shopping Center is perfect for the office and for casual weekends. Love that!

When I found out a new JCrew Factory Store opened at Westgate Shopping Center, I was thrilled! Westgate is a shopping center I shop at multiple times per week. The mall includes a Target, Nordstrom Rack, Michael’s, Smashburger, Sushi Boat and more! My kids love shopping at Justice and having lunch at Sushi Boat; it is a frequent event! I am really excited to add JCrew Factory Store to our frequent shopping excursions at Westgate. It fits perfectly into my personal style!

The store is filled with spring merchandise as well as good items for transitioning from winter into spring here in the Bay Area. I loved the puffer vests on display in the back of the store which are perfect for transitioning from winter into spring. There was also a huge selection of necklaces and shoes which will take any outfit from ordinary to extraordinary!

I found myself reaching for nautical inspired looks which I know will be perfect to wear this spring. I loved everything I tried on and cannot wait to show you what I came home with! Stay tuned for an upcoming outfit post with the look I found at the JCrew Factory Store at Westgate Shopping Center! My daughter loved the store too, she came home with a headband!

Don’t forget to pop into the new JCrew Factory Store at Westgate Shopping Center to see all the fabulous looks they have to wear now and into spring! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

A couple of week ago my family spent time with our friends at their lake house. It was a beautiful weekend with swimming, boating, fishing, jumping off rocks and more! Our kids had a lot of fun and we enjoyed spending time with our friends. 

Since we were on a lake, and one of our many activities was boating, I decided to go for a nautical look. This hat, which offers SPF protection, came in handy over the weekend and kept my face from being burned. The JCrew top I am wearing in these photos has also become a favorite of mine this summer. See how I styled it with a skirt here. The Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote I carried was perfect for storing towels, goggles for the kids, sunblock, and a sweatshirt just in case the weather changed.

Overall, the weekend was beautiful, fun and relaxing! I hope you have been able to get away this summer. What types of summer getaways do you enjoy?
