gift guide santana row holidays christmas 2017

‘Tis the season! The holidays are my favorite season of the year. One of the things that make the holidays special, is spending time at San Jose’s premiere lifestyle destination, Santana Row. I love strolling the Row with my family in tow, brunching at Left Bank, lunching at Maggiano’s, and enjoying dinner at Sino. In addition to eating and hanging out, Santana Row is special during the holidays because of the decorations, and wide variety of shops to find that perfect somethin’ somethin’ for everyone on my holiday list.

Since I know the Row like the back of my hand, I wanted to share with you some special new shops at Santana Row which feature fabulous gift ideas! There is something for everyone at these new shops; as well as the established stores we have all grown to love at Santana Row.

Holiday Gifts from Liberatone

Have you checked out Libratone yet? If not, then run there now! They have the most amazing speakers with blue-tooth capability. I especially love their speaker which is water resistant. It is perfect for outdoor entertaining. The colors are just as bright as the sound.

kendra scott fall 2017 collection

The Kendra Scott fall 2017 collection has arrived! As you know, Kendra Scott is one of my favorite jewelry designers. I love her colorful collection which includes pieces designed by inspiration from her travels. When the Kendra Scott store at Santana Row announced they were having a fall 2017 collection kick-off party, I knew I had to attend!

Kendra Scott knows how to throw a party! There was a live DJ playing popular tunes, an Italian Soda Bar, and delicious appetizers. So yummy! I met up with my friend Laura from Have-Need-Want, and we checked out the Kendra Scott fall 2017 collection while enjoying the party. So fun! Somehow we failed to get a picture of us together at the party. Um, #BloggerFail

After the party, we enjoyed a yummy dinner at Left Bank. I tried the Vegetarian Risotto and it was delicious! Highly recommend!!

kendra scott fall 2017 bracelets

How beautiful are these bracelets! They are extremely similar to a bracelet from Kendra Scott’s fall 2013 collection which I own in gold. I was thrilled to see them as part of Kendra Scott’s fall 2017 collection since I get a ton of compliments and questions about my gold one. I am tempted to get the updated version in the rose gold and the antique silver. So pretty!!

kendra scott fall 2017 earrings

How divine is this purple-red stone named “Bordeaux Tiger’s Eye!” These statement earrings are hotter then hot for fall. Statement earrings are a big fall 2017 trend, and these earrings fit the bill. I would love a pair for the fall season, and also to wear for upcoming holiday parties!

kendra scott fall 2017 rings

These earrings are at the top of my Kendra Scott fall 2017 wish list. I want them in silver, and as soon as I get my next paycheck; they will be mine! I already have the silver ring featured in this photo, so when worn together, they will be fabulous!

kendra scott fall 2017 collection

There is that pretty Bordeaux Tiger’s Eye again! Isn’t is fabulous! I can’t wait to pick a piece out and add it to my collection. The purple-red hue is divine; and a must-have for any jewelry collection. I am in love!

kendra scott fall 2017 collection

These necklaces are soooooo pretty! I want the one in Ivory Illusion with yellow gold. It is really pretty and easy to wear with any color palette. It can also be worn in any season; it’s another must-have! This necklace also comes in that beautiful Bordeaux Tiger’s Eye. Love!

kendra scott fall 2017 nail polish

Kendra Scott has such pretty nail polish! I love all of these metallic colors. One of the nail polish trends for fall 2017 is metallic nails. These colors fit perfectly into the trend! Which color is your favorite?

All in all, the Kendra Scott fall 2017 collection is beautiful; and easy to integrate into the fall trends from the runways, which have made it to the streets.
