Fashion Valley is a must visit, open-air shopping destination in Southern California. It features more than 200 stores, blending higher end stores with regular affordable fashions. It caters to the rich with international fashion houses like Louis Vuitton, Rolex, and Gucci, alongside accessible brands like Nike and Forever 21. While it features rather expensive brands, good deals can be found in the large department stores. The environment is amazing, with gorgeous palm trees and iconic fountains, making it a great place to shop or just get your steps in. There are awesome eats at restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory, North Italia, and P.F. Chang’s, and the food court was great with plenty of seating. Visitors should prepare for crowds and difficulty in finding parking. Note that there is currently a lot of construction for upgrades, so there are a lot less areas to sit, relax and chat until it is completed. Bathroom areas are also limited.
