Great gifts at Mall at Milennia

It's snowing gifts at Mall at Milennia.

There's something for everyone on your list and lots of new stores to check out.

Seeking American Style?
Visit Michael Kors, Tory Burch or Kate Spade (all on the Bloomingdale's side of the mall) for on-trend accessories.  And for jewelry gifts starting at $100, nothing is as all-American as the blue box from Tiffany's.

The Status Watch always works.
The new Rolex store joins the Breitling and Tag Hueur shops to offer a great selection.

And for her, you can't go wrong with a Designer Purse or Shoes.
Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton,  Gucci and Fendi are required stops on the status-gifting tour.

Are you a World Traveler?
Tumi is the place for top quality luggage and travel accessories. Bloomingdale's wonderfully versatile and lightweight Longchamp totes in a rainbow of colors. Macy's has a large luggage department on the second floor with a host of popular brands and lots of trendy hard-sided carry-ons.

Looking for a charming Christmas boutique?
Stop on the second floor of Neiman Marcus for a wonderful selection of Christmas ornaments and decorations, made the old-fashioned way, mostly in Europe. Brings back the happiness of a simpler time, when quality was apparent in the smallest items.  Wonderful table decor and gifts, too.

Craving a holiday make-over?
Drop by Sephora or Mac for complimentary make-up application. A local tip:  Neiman Marcus has the best in prestige lines, including YSL, Cle de Peau and Trish McEvoy.  Plus Tom Ford, Jo Malone and Creed fragrances.

Desperately seeking caffeine

Craving a Grande pumpkin spice latte?  Or a Vente caramel macchiato?

Head for one of the 2 Starbucks outposts  in the center of the Mall at Milennia. You'll find one upstairs by the food court and one downstairs by the front entrance across from the Cheesecake Factory restaurant.

Don't forget, you can get hot and iced tea at Starbucks too.  Homemade chocolate milk is a great choice for children, too, in a sturdy plastic cup with a straw.

If you want a bagel or a pastry with your coffee, head for local fave Panera Bread at the back  of the food court by the doors.

Coffee news:
There is a NEW latte stop inside Bloomingdales, by the makeup counters, where the Dylan's candy store used to be.  They also serve  gelato and other snacks.

Fastest Way to GLOW BRONZE. And it Lasts!

TAN LIKE A FLORIDA BEACH GIRL

Victoria's Secret  
Instant Bronzing Tanning Spray

Victoria's Secret Instant Bronzing Self Tanning Spray
Price: $15.00  ***cheap thrill***

Great for a natural- looking glow or a day at the beach

New self-tanner technology makes the at-home spray tan a reality.  Bronzes and tans in one easy (yes, really!) step. And no orange hues here, you get a gorgeous real tan brown.

Wrap your legs in a natural coat of TAN for summer's shorter skirts and shorts.
Finally, you can wrap your body from head to toe in sexy, airbrushed perfection without the risks of a real tan or the salon price. Beach Sexy Instant Bronzing Tinted Body Spray with natural aloe leaves skin kissed with golden color for a flawless look.

STYLIST TIPS #1
Bronze tint helps blur the look of imperfections, like uneven skin tone or texture. Add a second coat to areas that you want to slim, like sides of thighs or hips.

STYLIST TIP #2
Continuous spray makes for easy, streak-free application. Put a dark towel under your feet to keep spray off of the floor.

To use the spray for your face, just spray into hands and apply like a foundation. Don't apply to eyelids.  Use a damp cloth to remove from eyebrow area and nose (which tends to tan too dark for some reason).

STYLIST TIP #3
For most natural results:

• Wipe off heels, sides of toes and feet and knees with damp washcloth after applying. 
• For arms, don't spray where sun wouldn't hit (insides of elbows and underside of triceps)
• WASH Hands completely with soap, not just the palms. Take special care to use soap between your fingers! DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.

Mall of Milennia tips

Here are some tips to save time and have more fun at Mall of Milennia. It's a great place to shop!  Don't miss it.
Parking
Park in front of Neiman Marcus, as close to the center entrance of the mall as you can get.  That is on the right side of the Neiman lot, when you are facing the mall.  Walk thru Neiman's when they are open. Enjoy the nice jewelry, try some perfume or get makeup samples from Chanel and YSL. If the store closes or you go to one of the restaurants in the center, your car will be right there, accessible from the center mall entrance.
In the back by the food court is another good centrally-locates spot.  Since there is no direct store access there, you can usually find a space close-up.  On the way in or out, you can grab a beverage at Panera or Starbucks.  The kids can eat their fill of free chicken and cookie samples, maybe even sample ice cream or a smoothie.  At Lindt chocolate, they will often give you a free truffle as well.
If Macy's is your sole destination, park in the BACK.  Everyone else parks in the front.

Restrooms
Food court bathrooms are the best- upstairs right in the center of the mall- huge and clean.  Big counters for grooming and a place to change the baby. Finally good mall planning!  If you are too tired to go upstairs (it happens!), go into one of the restaurants.  They always let you use the restrooms.
If you have a little one, in the back of the food court, Panera has a single bathroom with a quiet baby-changing table. Panera also has free ice water cups and nice clear cold water for the little ones.
If you are in Bloomingdales, there is a nice restroom on the first floor in the mens' department.

Coffee
When the lines at both Starbucks are ridiculous, go to Panera in the back of the food court. They have lattes and all that, but the best bet is to get a dark roast for less than 2 dollars put in some half and half so you don't miss any quality shopping time waiting around for a drink...

Makeup Counters

Overall, the makeup artists at Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales are better than at Macys.  They are actually makeup artists and they have a lot more time to spend with you...  Ask to try the limited edition fragrances, which debut at these stores before they are widely available. ALSO, Chanel has foundation samples now, so take a few home to try before you buy. Will save you lots of money!
