New at Milennia- Fast Fix Jeweler

At Mall of Milennia, get your broken necklace fixed and a new battery put in your dress watch while you shop.  Buy a watch or bracelet in the mall, take it down there and get the links taken out to wear your  find right away. 

Next to Bloomingdale's on the lower level, you'll find the Fast Fix store.  The staff is courteous and the work is done quickly and expertly.

Don't miss Florida Mall!

Florida Mall is great fun for a day trip.  Here are some highlights, and there are many more!

Adrenalina-  Huge surf shop with "indoor surf experience" (wave tank). If you are lucky, you can watch the resident hot guys surf (think Abercrombie guy on a board).

Build A Bear workshop- Younger children and tween girls love making custom bears and other stuffed animals like bunnies and raccoons. There's a great selection of accessories to personalize the toys, so the result can be unique as a cheerleader soccer bear with a cell phone.

M & M store-  Huge store devoted to the ubiquitous candy. Something for everyone including clothes, toys and race-themed items. Plus an M & M buffet where you pay by the pound.

Sephora- Cult favorite cosmetic, hair and skin care brands including Makeup Forever, Fekkai and Perricone and many more, plus the latest fragrances for men and women. Great assortment of makeup brushes and cases. Always something new. Find great gifts in any price range. Grab something new to slip into your suitcase.

Teavana- High quality loose tea of all kinds plus tea accessories, including teapots and strainers.  Always has cold and hot teas too sample.

Saks Fifth Avenue- Orlando's only Saks.  Great for cosmetics, costume jewelry, womens status accessories and purses.  Don't miss Armani makeup counter by the mall entrance, staffed by talented makeup artists. Pure genius and very low pressure.

Nordstrom coffee shop- between Nordstrom and the mall, a quick serve coffee shop with friendly service, good quality coffee drinks, some cute coffee-themed gifts and snacks.

Nordstrom- Perfume, shoes and accessories departments. All three are located right by the mall entrance, great if your feet are already tired.  Kudos to the Nordstrom buyers manage to find shoes, jewelry and hair accessories that are unique and stylish, yet affordable. You can get a large custom sample of any perfume even the very latest exclusives.

Florida Mall- the best restrooms.

Florida Mall has nice clean bathrooms in:

The M & M store

Nordstrom

Sax Fifth Avenue

Note: The public bathrooms get too much traffic and locals avoid them.

Get ready for your trip!
