Typically, you find this kind of discounted deals only in remote outlet centers. Here, you are in the very heart of Beverly Hills, adjacent the stylish Beverly Center (recently renovated for $1bn) - and even better: While most outlets are somewhat short of staff, in this I was always able to find a helpful and above all knowledgeable hand.
This, in combined with undoubtedly the best fashion shopping deals in town makes this store my #1 shopping recommendation in LA - making it a waste of time to travel to any outlet. Even if I were in Camarillo or the Palm Springs outlet, I would do the detour and shop here. Well done, guys, I must say, extraordinary well done.
Thanks for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme," here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who travels the world with the worlds greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones or Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "where do you live," I tended to ask "in hotels." At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by.
While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked how people use their "power of the word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents. In my all-time favorite restaurant, Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they do not offer toasted bread, as no French place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers boxed to take home? As a dog owner, I want to take the writer and shake him or her bad and say "you give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea... I hope you agree.
So If I had a say on this portal, I would offer to see the ratings of my friends. So I would see what the scores were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this does not compare to "Bijan on Rodeo Drive." At first, I assume that a shop is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they exceeded my expectation. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again, which, in this particular case, certainly applies.
Thank you for reading this.
