I've been to the Glendale Galleria literally millions of times over the years. Because I've visited…read moreso often, I know every single nook and cranny of the place. I even know the history of all the stores that have been there for a long time, as well as the ones that have closed over the years. I usually come here to shop for cosmetics and clothes, and I often have lunch or dinner here while shopping. With Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Nordstrom nearby at the Americana -- which I always end up visiting too since it's right across the street -- this area is truly a one-stop shopping place. Since I've shopped at many of the cosmetics and clothing stores here over the years, a lot of the sales associates let me know in advance by email or text about pre-sale events and gift-with-purchase promotions. However, last Sunday, April 26th, I came here shopping with my mother, and she lost her Gucci sunglasses. She went back today to look for them, but sadly, they were not in the lost and found. She probably misplaced them while trying on clothes in a fitting room. Actually, I also lost my Chanel sunglasses here twice a long time ago, and I still remember how upset I was back then. Since this mall gets very crowded, especially on weekends, I think things like this can happen more easily. One of the biggest advantages of Glendale Galleria is that parking is free. And because there are so many different stores all in one place, it's very convenient for one-stop shopping. But one downside is that whenever I call Macy's, it's incredibly hard to get connected to the individual departments. I really wish it was easier to get through to their customer service on the phone. Also, at some point, they got rid of the toilet seat covers in the restrooms near the Food Court, which I think is a huge downside.

Absolutely obsessed with Glendale Galleria. Came for "just…read moreone thing" and somehow left with bags, boba, and a serotonin boost. The vibe is clean, bright, and low-stress (which is rare for malls tbh). Great mix of stores, easy parking, and it's dangerously close to amazing food spots. 10/10 for retail therapy and people-watching. Will be back when my wallet emotionally recovers.

I have visited La Canada Flintridge Town Center on several occasions in the past for Luna Grill and…read moremost recently for Bruster's Real Ice Cream. It's a nice shopping center anchored by Target, Sakura, HomeGoods, Blaze Pizza, and Panera... just to name a few. I have yet to check out the other businesses within this center. From the outside main streets, it doesn't look like a very big center. Once you drive in it, there's quite a bit for shopping and dining. Cute outside seating in various sections. Abundant parking available. One day, I would like to come here and just walk around to get a better exploration of this place. I may just dine at Sakura for lunch or dinner, shop at Target, and get ice cream dessert at Bruster's. That sounds like a plan! I'll capture some photos next time. Thanks for your patience.

We've spent a lot of time in the hamlet of La Canada Flintridge over the past few years, courtesy…read moreof our membership at Descanso Gardens. We don't always come this far into town, but when we have, the Town Center architecture and list of shops and restaurants has provided a siren call. We finally answered it a few weeks ago, stopping at Panera Bread. We ended up driving around much of the complex, since we didn't know exactly where Panera was located. That revealed lots of free parking options, and a uniquely shaped center. Will definitely have to come back and explore more when we have more time. I'm always up for a walk-through at HomeGoods, so there's another draw, right off the bat! Luna Grill sounds interesting and worth checking out. Blaze Pizza sits next to Panera Bread, offering another fast casual dining option. The eclectic style architecture mixes a dash of Mediterranean with Craftsman, which takes a bit of doing to pull off, but they've seem to have made it work. It's a mash-up, yeah, that's it! Nice to experience a home town shopping / dining plaza with some innovation and stylish character.

Out of all the Westfield malls, Century City is among one of the most popular ones, although it's…read morevery frustrating at times whenever visiting here, especially during holiday and peak hours. Parking - One of the dealbreakers in my opinion. Especially during peak hours, it can feel like a maze here, you'll find that it's very easily to get lost here. Worse part is that parking is NOT FREE. However, there's parking validation but only specific stores. They don't tell you or list what stores give validation but even then, it's not for the whole duration and only for a specific time frame. A bit frustrating to deal with overall. However, there's plenty of good sides of the mall. The shops here are great, there's most of the stores that you'll find when it comes to luxury, and higher end shops. Ranges from Apple, Lucid, Tesla, Dyson, lululemon, Therabody, etc. The vibe here is very modern, lights up very nicely since it's a outdoor mall. It's very pretty here during the holidays, my wife and I came during Christmas to see all the holiday lights, Christmas Carols, and artificial snow, which turned out to our favorites. It was such a romantic and chill vibe, very cool to see this yearly. They often has collaboration events here such as these events, so be on the lookout for that. Food here is decent, over the years, they've added plenty of popular spots like Chick Fila, Shake Shack, but the staples here are most certainly Din Tai Fung, HaiDiLao Hot pot, Ramen Nagi, and plenty of other notable spots. I would say, they're all worthy to check out, just haven't had time to check them all out yet. Directory online and in person is very informative as well for the restaurants. Drinks wise, there's bars around the mall, but inside the mall, my go to here is Chagee Tea and Wushiland, both solid boba spots, Chagee of course is more trendy at the moment though. Very popular regardless. There's also Blue Bottle Coffee which I find very underrated. I absolutely love their Cascara Fizz, very much a soda like drink, definitely worth checking out as well.

And after standing there for 20 min and the line moved 2 people I asked if they could call more cashiers up.

That would maybe make sense if there weren't multiple employees visibly walking around in pain sight with the blue necklace, on their phones, doing go-backs, or just standing around instead of helping check customers out. Clearly, staff was there. The 4 they had aren't being used properly. Long lines, poor communication, and zero urgency to help customers. This isn't a staffing issue, it's a management issue. Completely unacceptable for a busy store Not my first experience in the store.

I'd say I'm going to miss her, BUT I heard they will be opening a new store for their sister brand, La Femme En Noir, that Lisa will also run. Let me just say: she BETTER! To me, she is as iconic to the brand as Micheline herself! These gorgeous clothes will surely be missed, but I'm truly hopeful that the closing of the Vixen brand, will be an expansion of LFEN. It has absolutely been a beautiful experience while it's lasted, and thanks to the incredible workmanship of the Vixen brand, I am confident I will continue to enjoy my amazing frocks for years and years to come. Thank you, Micheline, for making us all feel so gorgeous!

It does not match the thrill of seeing things firsthand, but definitely saves time. We did not go super early in the morning when they probably had the best stuff because neither of us were looking for anything specific. Just wanted to check it out. There is definitely a large amount of vintage clothes, furniture, housewares, and other collectibles. There are a couple of plant stalls, although we only checked out one. It is awesome. That real bathrooms are available as opposed to ports potties. There is a small food court and a couple of food and drinks stands throughout although the selection isn't super gourmet. I believe the coffee was well over $10 a cup and that is for iced coffee, not cold brew. I don't think there were any espresso drinks. It can get quite hot walking around in the parking lot so I would suggest dressing accordingly. I noticed several people brought little carts to carry their purchases.
