Shopping places- california, around anaheim?

i am visiting california for 8 days next week (i am from sydney) we are staying in anaheim however i dont mind going 30 mins- 45mins away to get a good shopping destination! if you know any good, big shopping malls that arent TOO expensive, but still good quality around here that would be great!

While there actually is a city named Laguna Beach in California, the MTV television program :"Laguna Beach" is just a scripted television program much like "McLeod's Daughters" is on Australia television, sorry! I'm not sure it is even filmed near Laguna Beach. Laguna Beach is sort of a bohemian arts and crafts community so things you buy there may be a bit pricey. Also it's roughly 55 miles from Laguna Beach to Hollywood


Welcome to the "States", and enjoy your visit.
Reply:You can try





South Coast Plaza (fancy boutiques--would be my first choice)


Crystal Court


Santa Ana Westfield Main Place (just a normal middle class mall)


these malls are close to one another and other area malls too. The shops are not necessarily cheap though, they have nice designer boutiques though, and you can avoid Rodeo Dr. (I wouldn't go to Rodeo Dr unless I just wanted to browse--too expensive). There is a mall in Laguna too.





You might want to check out Melrose Ave., the Beverly Center, Santa Monica's shops on 2nd st or even Hollywood/Highland if you do decide to visit LA though.
