Pictured: necklace, bracelet and earrings c/o of Rocksbox

I have always been a huge fan of jewelry. I love adding a bold necklace to an outfit, or lighting up my face with a pair of dazzling earrings. When springtime hits, I love wearing bracelets to dress up my arms when I wear short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, and sleeveless styles. So, when Rocksbox contacted me to collaborate, I was thrilled!

Rocksbox is a fabulous jewelry subscription service which allows you the opportunity to rent on-trend baubles by today’s hottest jewelry designers. Rocksbox offers jewelry for rent, and purchase, by designers such as Margaret Elizabeth ( a Bay Area designer!), Kendra Scott, Gorjana, and more!

My first Rocksbox arrived quickly, and the packaging was so cute! Each piece of jewelry was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap; so it was able to travel safely to my home. Love that! There was an easy to use return label inside the box, and return packaging inside the original package. This will make it easy to return the box filled with jewels at the end of the month. I love things which are easy 😉

If you love the pieces sent inside your Rocksbox, you have the option to purchase them at a discounted rate. I am thrilled with this feature since I tend to get attached to baubles!

Rocksbox has an easy to use website which allows you to create a wish list filled with the jewels you are interested in testing out.. This is a great way to try different styles of jewelry before committing to buy. Love that! The necklace in my Rocksbox was on my wish list. I was excited to receive a wish list item so quickly. I cannot wait to style it with my spring wardrobe!

Stay tuned, I will be styling my Rocksbox pieces with a few of my spring outfits.

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 😉

Junior League Rummage Sale 2015: The Greatest Garage Sale on Earth

JLSJ Rummage Sale

Mark your calenders! The Rummage Sale, also known as “The Greatest Garage Sale on Earth,” is being hosted by the Junior League of San Jose.  The event will be held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds on Saturday, March 21 from 8 am to 6 pm. There will also be a Community Health Services Fair from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm.  This exciting event will take place in the Expo Hall at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds located at 344 Tully Road, San Jose, CA. Admission is free.

The biannual Rummage Sale is a huge fundraising and community event. There will be high quality rummage at rock bottom prices available for sale. Items for sale include electronics, clothing, toys, furniture, sporting goods, books and more! 

Experienced shoppers should arrive before the doors open in order to be one of the first people inside the Rummage Sale. This ensures getting the best pieces. At these prices, everything sells fast so arrive early!

In addition to the Rummage Sale, there will be a community health fair with over thirty-five healthcare and community agencies.  Activities include healthy eating demonstrations, free legal services, tax prep, vision and hearing screening, asthma services, dentistry education and much, much more!

Proceeds from the Rummage Sale go back to the community through the Junior League of San Jose.

As a Sustainer in the Junior League of San Jose, I can tell you first-hand that this is an amazing event. Not only can you purchase high quality rummage at rock bottom prices, but there are community services available and the peace of mind that comes with knowing all of the proceeds go back to the community through the Junior League. Love that!
