| - Scottsdale Fashion Square ranks up there with the best malls/shopping districts in Southern California such as The Grove, Third Street, South Coast Plaza, or Fashion Island. It's clean, has lots of light, and most importantly it offers a wide variety of both high end and low end stores.
All too often, malls seem to be tailored to female shoppers but Fashion Square aims to please both men and women. The first floor of the Barneys End of the mall offers Ted Baker, H&M, and Banana Republic all kitty-corner from one another, and Marcella's Italian Kitchen and Modern Steak just steps away. You really can't beat that. It's too bad that area of the mall also includes crap like Ed Hardy, but you can't win them all.
I also like how the mall is somewhat divided between more fashionable/adult stores and tween/teen stores with Hot Topic, Claire's, PacSun, and similar stores all located on the second floor on the Dillard's side of the mall. It means that if you are in a serious shopping mood for the most part you don't have to put up with grungy teens running around and bumping into you.
The only real complaint I have is that it's all indoor but given the often oppressive desert heat that's certainly understandable.
