While I enjoy wandering around the themed Forum Shops and the glitzy Miracle Mile Shops, I love coming to the Fashion Show Mall because it doesn't have as big of a crowd as the other two. When I want to shop, I dont necessarily want to deal with giant crowds as well. Plus, I'm not always going to be able to afford shopping at the high end boutiques, so coming here provides me with the chance to find items that I can purchase without feeling guilty and hiding my credit card statement (from myself).
There is a large selection of stores, ranging from a GIGANTIC forever21 to department stores like Neiman Marcus. You can find items that fit any range of budget, which is definitely nice. Plus, there are two Starbucks inside the mall, which give it a thumbs up in my opinion.
