The Americana Mall in Glendale

The American Mall at Bland in Glendale, California.

On the same Friday that we arrived in Los Angeles, my Aunt and Uncle brought us that night  to The Americana Mall at Brand, in Glendale just to stroll around. As you know, the U.S.A is well known for their malls. I would have to say that the U.S.A has the best malls, particularly in California. My two favourite malls in Los Angeles are The Grove near Beverly Hills and this new mall in Glendale, The Americana Mall. What I love about them is not just many different stores and restaurants but also the whole ambiance and urban design of the Malls. Being California where it is sunny and warm mostly 365 days of the year, their malls are designed to be more open and encourages their guests to walk outside on the street side without any vehicle traffic. I love that, rather than being in an enclosed mall like here in Toronto. Well, here in Toronto, we have the four seasons,with our winter that is quite harsh so most of our malls have to be enclosed indoors. I love and enjoy the openness and luxurious ambiance of The American Mall. Other brands in this mall are A/X Armani Exchange, Tiffany & Co, Walter Weitzman Shoes, Lacoste, Sephora, Barnes and Nobles, among others. This week, we will go shopping in Los Angeles by featuring my two favourite malls, The Americana in Glendale and The Grove in Beverly Hills. Here are some shows, stores and places to hangout in the Mall. Let's go discover and enjoy!

The Dancing Fountain and Light Show is every hour from 10 am to 10:30 pm.

Juicy Couture in NYC

During our visit to New York City last weekend, my girlfriends and I visited the Juicy Couture Store at 650 Fifth Avenue. Juicy Couture is usually not a store I would shop as I am not really a fan of its tracksuits. But I was very impressed with their store at NYC and the merchandise for sale in this store. This store offers products not usually sold in Juicy Couture Shops. Let's go shopping now in the store...

Juicy Couture Store is located at 650 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. 

Juicy Couture was founded by two fashion obsessed friends Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash Taylor in Los Angeles, California in 1996. The company is now owned by Liz Claiborne Inc since 2003.

I have to admit that I normally do not shop at Juicy Couture. But this shop at 650 Fifth Avenue, New York, truly impressed me! I enjoyed shopping there. The staff were friendly and very helpful.  The design of the store was very classy. Very Fifth Avenue indeed! The prices of the products are also affordable and reasonable. I highly recommend visiting and shopping in this store. Believe me, even if you have no intention of buying any Juicy Couture, when you visit this store, you will end up buying something. It is a good souvenir too from your visit to New York City.
