Speaking of Westfield Mall (Bloomingdales is part of Westfield), we traveled about 65 minutes to San Jose, where Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair Mall are located.
I love Santana Row.
It just has a different vibe. Here are more shots for you to enjoy 🙂
There’s a nice area for you to lounge and read a good book (read a book under a tree :D)
The street mall houses premier designer brands like Gucci, Burberry (this bag is interesting– it looks nothing like the usual Burberry that we are so used to seeing) 
Ferragamo, as well as Furla.
There was a Tod’s boutique, but they closed down. And in it’s place, will rise H&M!
Santana Row also has Anthropologie… 
I looove everything in this store!! It’s got that bo-chic feel to it.
At the mall proper, I headed straight for the bag section at Nordstrom.
Dolce and Gabbana black leather top handle bag. 
This is soo reminscent of the Hermes lindy! I love the style of the Lindy, but I can’t give too much credit back to D&G for this style. Sorry but I saw the Lindy first 🙂 The side pockets are a nice touch though.
L.A.M.B. bugatti bag. 
This is such a festive bag! Isn’t it funky? 🙂 With a nice racing stripe too!
Versace black patent bugatti bag. Sigh, I don’t know why I don’t like Versace bags anymore 🙁 
Sadly, there was absolutely nothing interesting at Nordstrom’s bag department 🙁
Westfield Mall also has my favorite kids’ clothing store, Janie and Jack 
(although I always found their clothes too pricey *sob*). Funny that directly on top of the store is Coach. Coach does very well here in San Jose 🙂
We ended up going home late since we also ate dinner at San Jose already. I felt so horrible after because it was only when I was driving back did I realize that we could’ve eaten at Alexander’s Steak House!! *droool*. Bah, there’s always gonna be a next time. Besides, I’ve been invading our fully stocked larder so much I better cut down on meat for a bit *hehe*.
P.S. APPLE LEATHER CARE KITS will already be available at TRESORIE on Tuesday October 2 onwards. Please head straight to TRESORIE for the care kits (sorry we don’t take reservations for it). They’re Php 950 per set. Thanks! (Tresorie is located at the 2nd floor Doña Consolacion Bldg 122 Jupiter Street, Makati City)

I looove Santana Row!! I think it is similar in concept to the Grove but better coz it has more stores.
You are hilarious Baghag!! I saw your blogspot by chance but now I’m addicted to your funny and informative blogs. I want to try your advice about the leather conditioner, then water & stain repellant on my LV handles but I am a little bit iffy about doing it coz my SA said that the only thing I can do is to just wipe with the dustbags. You did mention to leave the conditioner on for 24 hours right?
I think it’s pretty cool that I look at your site and I am in the general vicinity of all of this. And I’m still oblivious to your presence! Have fun in the Bay Area..
I also love Santana Row! So sad that FootCandy is gone!
