Steve Madden, Buffalo Exchange (the one in Portland)
This summer my friend Camille (check out her blog exposedcouture.blogspot.com) took me to LA with her to live and stay with her aunt and uncle. The first thing we did when we got to LA was go to Camille's eight year old cousins soccer game. After that her aunt asked us if we wanted to go do some shopping and of corse Camille and I said yes. She took us to this amazing mall called Fashion Island. I had heard about it before in the TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashions, but I'd never seen it. I thought it would just be a normal mall but boy was I wrong. This wasn't just an amazing outdoor mall, this was a a fantasy land of clothes. If you look at my pictures above they were all taken at Fashion Island and you can see how amazing it really is. A few days later we also went to another mall called Victoria Gardens. This in my opinion, was the best Outlet mall ever created. It had Sax Off 5th (Sax 5th Avenue outlet), Couch Factory outlet, Vans outlet (where I got a two pairs of shoes for the price of one deal), and a few other cool shops. Our next shopping adventure was 3rd street promenade. They also had some great shops including Zara, Mango, Fred Siegal, Miss Sixty and a Kitson outlet. If you live in the LA area or are visiting I would really recommend going to Victoria Gardens, 3rd street promenade and Fashion Island.
Being in California also made me think of Katy Perry's hit song California Gurls! I love the clothes in this music video, very modern Hollywood. Check out her sparkly blue shorts, I want a pair so bad!
