After living in Los Angeles for 3 years, I can finally say that I love malls. I used to think of malls were annoying, crowded and not something I would choose do to on a Saturday, but lately I’ve realized how great they are. The Americana in Glendale is quaint, almost as you’re on a movie set, with everything brand new, clean and so well designed. There’s usually something fun going on during the weekends and the grass is filled with playing children. Sunset time is beautiful to go because that ‘golden hour’ makes everything more magical. After shopping for a few hours, you’re going to need some food to regain your strength! Let’s be real, we know how tiring shopping can be. From Katsuya to Mexican food, they have an array of outdoor options that are perfect for a glass of wine and some apps. After dinner, if you’re not tired yet, grab a movie or a Starbucks and read a book at Barnes & Noble. Seriously, doesn’t that sound like a perfect day with your babe or your girlfriends?!

Last weekend I was so pleased to do a little shopping at The Americana and I wanted to share a couple pictures with you! I’m wearing my summer-y dress from Lulus but paired it with a jean jacket and casual boot from Zara, to tone the look down. It was a success – even though I am sad all the summer clothes are gone! I did score a pair of flat black boots, a white slip dress and a black midi skirt from H&M that I’ll be sharing with you in a style post in the next couple days. What is your favorite place to go shopping in Los Angeles?
