Back To School Shopping at The Mills At Jersey Gardens

There's no denying it now. Back to school season is in full swing, and it's time to shop. There's no better place to get all your back to school essentials than at The Mills at Jersey Gardens. After all these years, I finally have it figured out. One stop shopping is the BEST! The Mills at Jersey Gardens is one stop for EVERYTHING!

I was recently invited to attend a back to school blogger event at The Mills at Jersey Gardens hosted by Corine from Complicated Mama. In addition to getting the latest scoop on back to school trends, we had a chance to browse the mall in search of the all the incredible deals and back to school specials. We didn't have to look too far. The bargains are everywhere!

Hands down. The number one item on our back to school list every year is jeans. Jeans, jeans, jeans. The kids have got to have them! Where to go? Levi's, of course. Who doesn't love wall to wall jeans in every size, shape and color?

I was thrilled to see that Garage recently opened at The Mills at Jersey Gardens. Garage is a haven for teens, offering the best in effortless clothing and accessories. I put together this cute floral dress paired with a utility jacket and fedora for my teenager. Super cute, right?

This was just one example of the plentiful sale signage at The Mills at Jersey Gardens. The sales are amazing with some stores offering up to 80% off. I love these kinds of deals, especially this time of year when you are stocking up for back to school. Every savings (big or small) helps tremendously.

What's a back to school shopping spree without a little something for yourself? I mean, why should the kids have all the fun?

One of my favorite stores at The Mills at Jersey Gardens is Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th. It's the outlet store of Saks Fifth Avenue and it's AMAZING!! If you recall my last trip to The Mills at Jersey Gardens, I bought a bee-you-tiful Rebecca Minkoff bag at Off 5th. This time I scored these Jack Rogers Hampton sandals for a steal!! Only $80!! I got so lucky. I've been wanting a pair of Jacks, and this pair was the only pair in the store. And it was my size!!!

I also grabbed this pair of heels at Nine West for $50. Can you believe it? I love the blush pink color (although they look beige in this picture) and the smaller heel.

If you are an obvious shoe freak like I am, you'll be glad to hear the The Mills at Jersey Gardens will be having its "For The Love of Shoes" sale from September 3rd - September 30th.

The Mills at Jersey Gardens currently has over 200 stores all under one roof with plans for a new wing expansion set to open in 2018 will include an additional 80 stores and restaurants. The Mills at Jersey Gardens added Kate Spade and Hugo Boss to their offerings last week.
