I did it! I got my hands on the famous football necklace by Kendra Scott. This pretty little necklace sells out quickly when it is in stock, so I ended up on a wait list at the Santana Row Kendra Scott store. I am so happy it came in!

As you know, I love football! My son plays football, he is a defensive linebacker, and I love the niners. Also, my oldest daughter attends a big-time football university, and she enjoys going to the games. In addition, both of my husband’s alma maters are huge football schools too. So, our fall weekends are spent either attending football games, or watching them on TV; and yes, we schedule them into our day!

When the football necklace first came out, I decided to wait to purchase it at a fundraiser hosted by Kendra Scott that I knew I would be attending. Of course, by the time the fundraiser came around, the necklace was sold out! Thankfully, Kendra Scott had a wait list and they graciously put me on it. I was thrilled when I got the call that the necklace was back in stock! Yay!

Isn’t it adorable? I cannot wait to wear it on game days! If you are a huge football fan too, don’t wait to buy this necklace, snap one up now! You can find it online here.

Well, I had just returned from parent’s weekend at my daughters’ school when I got the call that the necklace had arrived. Of course, all my up-to-date jeans were in the laundry basket! So, here I am in skinny jeans. Please don’t laugh, I know they are way out of style, but at least they are clean! haha

This button tee is turning into my current go-to top for fall. Since temperatures are refusing to be fall-like, a short sleeve tee in a fall hue is the perfect top to wear right now. I might go back and snap one up in black too. Love!

After snapping the obligatory photo in front of the famous Santana Row “the wall,” my mom and I enjoyed lunch at It’s Dumpling Time. I was on a high from picking up my football necklace, so lunch was even more special. They have amazing XLB dumplings, shu mai, and pot stickers. Definitely stop in for some dumplings when you shop on “The Row!”

Lastly, we wandered into Madewell and I was so impressed! I need to pop back in and try on some jeans, but in the meantime, I am drooling over this beautiful tote bag! The leather is really nice and I love the texture. It looks like a fabulous daytime tote bag. Love it!

Shop my casual fall outfit online, I included non-skinny jeans too:

Do you love football too? Be sure to snap up this necklace before it is gone! Good luck to your team, but I know my teams will win! haha

Thanks for stopping by!

Kendra Scott wildfire benefit

Kendra Scott fall 2002 collection favorites from top left: gold bangle / green Elle earrings / lapis Elle earrings / lapis and gold dangle earrings / lapis and gold double strand necklace / green and gold necklace / green hoops /

Kendra Scott is giving back to California! This is why Kendra Scott is one of my favorite designer brands on the planet. She is always finding ways to give back to the community.

Our beautiful state of California has been ravaged by wildfires, which started due to a freak storm filled with dry lightening. This is extremely rare and unusual weather for us. Since this is abnormal weather, our fire departments were stretched dangerously thin due to a lack of resources. Our fabulous firefighters worked very hard to contain and put out these fires, but unfortunately, there were still property losses; not to mention a state blanketed in thick, smoky air.

In order to thank and support our amazing fire departments, Kendra Scott is hosting a give-back shopping event to support the California Fire Foundation. The California Fire Foundation works hard to support fire victims, firefighters, and communities ravaged by fire.

August 28-29, 2020, you will be able to shop online at KendraScott.com, and you can also shop in-store at Santana Row in San Jose, or Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. 20% of your purchase will directly benefit the California Fire Foundation! Love this!!

If you plan to shop online, it will be really easy! Head over to KendraScott.com and select your favorite jewels from her collection. I hand-picked my favorites from her new fall 2020 collection in the collage above to get you started. If you are looking for a good, classic pair of earrings, I highly recommend the Elle in any color!

When shopping online, place your favorite Kendra Scott pieces in your shopping bag. When you are done shopping, click on your shopping bag and enter coupon code GIVEBACK8959 and hit “apply.” 20% of your purchase will go back to the California Fire Foundation. Yay! Loving this!

Thank you so much for giving back to our beautiful firefighters and communities, and thank you for supporting amazing causes!

If Kendra Scott is reading this, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
