Century City Mall, Century City
The most beautifully done mall in Los Angeles, designed of course by the one and only Kelly Wearstler, one of my favorite interior decreers. This mall takes it to another level. And thank goodness because it took forever for the most recent renovation to get done. With everything you need from gourmet candy shops, fun restaurants, multiple high end stores, a beautiful food court and a big movie theater. Also be sure to check out the brand new Eataly, it’s worth the wait!
Didi Riese, Westwood
Platform, Culver City
A super trendy new high end mall with multiple boutiques and cool coffee spots. Also, there is a Soulcycle.
