Del Amo Fashion Center

I have been both to the old and new mall. It is a huge place with many shops, a huge new dining terrace, a couple of restaurants and an AMC 20 movie theatre. Generally it’s a very nice place. Especially the new part of the mall. There is a Nordstroms, Disney Store, Cotton on Kids, Melissa shoe store, and more. It is a great place to let the kids run around wild for a bit. They are opening a play area summer 2016 so that should be nice. It has not been over crowded any time I have gone and the population that visits seems mostly normal. No thugs/​gang types.
I have also gone to the movies at the mall and that was a good experience too. Overall it’s a nice place to do some shopping and walk around in bad weather.

Wow, what huge difference from the last time I was here! It was so drab, dark and antiquated the last time I was here back in 2010. Now, its so modern, clean and inviting. You actually want to stay and shop here!
Lots of options for high end and regular stores to choose from. Lots of eating establishments as well.
Parking was pretty good but I can imagine how crazy it can get during the holiday season.
Definitely will be back!

So I’ll start off by saying that you’ll want to make sure you enter from the newer renovated side (Nordstroms). Don’t enter from the side closer to Target.
The renovated side of the Del Amo Fashion Center has two stories– bright lights, clean, modern design. On this side, you’ll find a good mix of medium to high end stores. Once you walk through Macys though, you’ll enter the older side, where traffic is low and the whole area being very dark and gloomy. It’s just not a very inviting place to go. This is where all your lower end stores are.
All in all, the Del Amo Fashion Center has a good mix of low, medium, high end stores. And remember, enter through the Nordstroms side, not the Target side :)

I think the renovation is mostly done here, which is good news because that was taking forever n a year and a half and unsightly every time I visited.
This time, it was easy. I was able to hit up all my fave stores with no detour. They were good with adding plenty of lounge areas for the tired husbands n boyfriends on the brink of suicide if they were to be dragged into another chick shop. Hey, it’s happened.
My fave stores: Urban Outfitters, Irene’s Story, Lucky Brand, Cotton On, Foreign Exchange isn’t there anymore… wonder if they moved. They had such great quality clothes for both men n women.
They added some new stores like Uniqlo. I just love chain stores, very comforting. This mall houses a lot of discounts I don’t see at many other malls. You don’t ever have to fish too hard for a good deal, ever.
