Scottsdale Fashion Square has always held a special place in my heart. I've been coming here since…read moreI was young, and it's been so fun watching the mall evolve throughout the years while continuing to feel like one of Scottsdale's signature destinations. What I love most is the incredible variety. There's an impressive collection of upscale shops and luxury retailers, along with plenty of familiar favorites, boutiques, beauty destinations, and everything in between. Whether I'm browsing the latest designer pieces, treating myself to something special, or simply enjoying a little retail therapy, there's always something that catches my eye. The dining scene is another major highlight. There are so many amazing restaurants and places to grab a bite, making it easy to turn a shopping trip into an entire afternoon or evening out. I love that you can come for a little shopping and end up staying for dinner, drinks, or dessert. The mall itself has that polished Scottsdale atmosphere that makes the experience feel elevated, and there's always a sense of energy and sophistication without it feeling overly formal. It has changed quite a bit since I was younger, but somehow it has maintained the charm that keeps me coming back. If there's one consistent downside, it's the parking. Depending on the day and time, navigating the parking areas can be frustrating, and finding a convenient spot can definitely require some patience. Still, after all these years, Scottsdale Fashion Square remains one of my favorite places to shop, dine, browse, and simply enjoy the Scottsdale experience. It's nostalgic for me, but it continues to offer something new every time I visit.

We got lucky and found a space right away. The escalator going up and down was out of service. The two elevators were operational so all was good. The plaza features many familiar named stores, a Harkins Theater, food court, sit down restaurants, high end designer stores and many boutiques. Stairs and escalators will take you to various floors. Clean restrooms are scattered throughout the plaza. Be ready to shop until you drop. You'll also find valet parking and WiFi in the plaza.

Lucky Break is a gift shop. They are located in terminal 4 of the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. A…read moreboutique specializing in southwestern/Arizona inspired gifts. Clothing, jewelry, magnets, rocks/crystals, and various trinkets. Gifts for adults and children. If you are looking for llama items, there is a fairly large selection to choose from. Lots of polished rocks, geodes, and crystals. Items are nicer than your typical airport gift shop. Quite a bit of merchandise is thoughtfully packed into the small space. We almost didn't enter. The store looked expensive. Having time to burn, and seeing the adorable stuffed cactus bears in the window, we decided to venture in. We couldn't help but purchase one of the bears, and that was before we even left on our trip. Some items were at tourist prices. Others were quite reasonable. Service was supper friendly. We were excitedly greeted upon entering. We received the same cheerful service while checking out. I look forward to visiting this boutique on future travels.

I've wanted to try this place forever. Why did I wait so long?…read more It's definitely controlled chaos in the basement of an old mall facade (?) but deals are to be had! From what I gathered, some are new and some are returned items to Nordstrom. Bought some Rothy's loafers for work for $38, some returned (very lightly used) Brooks Ghost 17 shoes for $52, and some $15 sneaks Nordstrom brand. Kids stuff was 1/2 off and bought some sweaters half off, too. Left spending quite a bit but probably bought 15 items for $173. Would definitely return. I recommend the rolling carts and not the shopping carts. Can be cramped to get down aisles. Maybe a reusable IKEA bag would be a good option, too. Wish they had more skincare and housewares.

Every now and then, it's nice to stroll through the Biltmore Fashion Park. My wife and I…read moreoccasionally make it to a meal or to shop or even play at the Biltmore (or yes, a stroll). I also sometimes meet up with friends or family or even head there on my own. There's something for everyone and plenty to see and do; however, some of my favorite stores and restaurants have closed and been replaced over the years. It also happens to be where my wife and I had our first date! The Biltmore Fashion Park is known for some great restaurants. While there are some upscale and casual restaurants there, my favorites include Seasons 52 or True Food for a good meal and Frost a Gelato Shoppe for dessert. I really enjoy having several Fox restaurants at the Biltmore. There are also many other restaurants in the area. Several of the restaurants have great happy hours, too. I miss the Crepe Club though several other restaurants have opened since then. There are also plenty of shops from upscale shops to more casual ones like Lululemon and Sakes 5th Avenue. There are fancy clothing stores that my wife may enjoy though I typically enjoy the nice courtyard or seating outside some of the stores while she shops. Then, we grab a bite somewhere together. I miss the Apple Store and Sharper Image but look forward to what is opened next. There are also experiences from the Sip & Stroll (where you can enjoy a beverage from one of six restaurants and then walk around), meet-up with the Phoenix Run Club, the Art Walk, the Swiftie Liftie Outdoor Workout Class, or one of a number of galas or special events. Find more details on what is coming up at the Biltmore Fashion Park at https://www.reddevelopment.com/biltmore-fashion-park/events. While stores and restaurant hours may vary, the hours are typically 10 AM to 8 PM daily except for Sundays from 12 Noon to 6 PM. There is plenty of free parking around the Biltmore Fashion Park along with valet options.

There is also a mall map on there along with a listing of activities and experiences with events.

Decent parking and I found a close handicapped space for the van. Event started promptly at 5:30. A few vendors including our very own Yelp Elite Event spot in Gilbert -Pixie sticks. They had a nice boutique there with an assortment of their items for sale. Joining them with booths were PetSmart (pup cups), a couple dog rescue orgs, and a Halloween photographer. There was also great music and really good cash bar making some excellent cocktails. It was a free event. The cocktails were $9 apiece... decent value. Topped it off with dinner at ZinBurger before I left. There's a few great restaurants up there, so will probably back despite the long drive.

Not uncommon for me, I'm an " in-betweener" oh how I wish chain companies didn't base everything on the 6 foot male. Ugh, but I did find a few things that kind of fit.

A couple of girls from the Kierland store already know me as I always stop by the store when I'm in the area. What is so special about Vuori? Think silky soft fabric in this high performance athletic wear that comes in a variety of colors. The sales people are super friendly and helpful and the store is nicely laid out, easy for you to find something that will catch your eye! The clothing is comparable with other athletic performance wear. So worth the value!! Now that I'm retired, I live in Vuori... Do it! Go get some for yourself!!!

If you need something to wear and can't get to a store before your next destination, then this will…read morework. As you all know, the prices go up at the airport, but if you need it, you need it. The suits and business attire seems like good quality and will do the job. I think there might be another shop in the terminal that also sells business or business casual attire that you would want to check out to compare prices. Just be aware that this is outside of security gate. So if you want, you could probably go elsewhere outside of the airport since you haven't passed security but then you have to consider the cost of transportation and time. Basically, be prepared so you don't have to buy clothes at the airport.

Victor was very helpful and attentive with my interest on finding one my size, sadly there weren't any there, but their clothing and even shoes looked well crafted. To try to stay Honest they were a Little Up On the Pricey Side as well, just like many businesses, If prices dropped, more people would be persuaded to start buying more of them... but the Rating* will be for the Service and Effort the Worker(Victor) put in! This is for the Terminal 4 store at Sky Harbor.

As much as I always pop in to one of these stores (like a magpie, I am attracted to bright and shiny things), I'm always just put off by the employees.
