Shopping in LA

I'm not an expert, but we've been here a few times now and have found some favourite places to shop. 

Number one on my list in the USA is Macy's, a department store of the calibre of Myer. Macy's has excellent sales, as well as carrying some of my favourite labels. You can always get 10% off for being a visitor, but at the moment they have a 25% off the lowest price sale, which is great. 

We like shopping at the outlet malls. We visited the Citadel Outlets at Commerce, at the confluence of the I5 and the 710 highways. It was only 14 miles from our hotel, but in true LA style, the traffic made it an hour trip! 

The outlet shops often have further discounts on the already reduced, out-of-season gear. Coach has a 50% off the marked down price, meaning some items are around 75% - 80% off the original price. 

It was hot out there today - perhaps 35 degrees. Strange to have been in sub zero temperatures earlier in the trip, and now in such furnace-like heat. It's dry, though. Pleasant in short doses. 

Dom went to Petersens Automotive Museum this morning, and enjoyed the displays, lots of cool cars from years ago.   Plenty of different mustangs on display as they were getting ready for a 50th anniversary bash! They also had a display of various peoples favorite sports cars, including Brian Johnston from ACDC, the lead singer from Metallica, Bobby Rahall and others, all very cool. 

Lunch was at Five Guys Burger and Fries. We've eaten there before and enjoyed it, but after visits to several other noteworthy chains, these are the best burgers by far! So juicy and tasty.
