Fashion Island

There’s nothing at this vast OC mall that you won’t find in L.A., but it’s a good one-stop shop if you’re in the area. There are four department stores (Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus), along with an Apple Store, a Barnes & Noble and a selection of fashion stores that are a cut above the usual mall fare (Anthropologie, Trina Turk). It can get hellishly busy on weekends.
