If you are looking to spend the day shopping for the perfect outfit, or something for your home or a great sale, look no further than the corner of Camelback Road and Scottsdale Road where you will find the Fashion Square Mall and the Scottsdale Waterfront. Between both locations, there are ample stores to suit everyone in your life. And, if you would like to make a full day of it, there are plenty of restaurant options for lunch and/or dinner.
Scottsdale Fashion Square
Fashion Square is Scottsdale’s largest mall with an incredibly diverse selection of retailers. On the high-end, you have Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus department stores as well as many standalone luxury purveyors such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, Vilebrequin, Salvatore Ferragamo, Jimmy Choo and St. John. And, in October of 2009, Arizona’s first Barney’s store is slated to open.
The south part of Scottsdale Fashion Square is anchored by Nordstrom and the other department stores include Macy’s and Dillard’s. In addition to the department stores, there is a huge selection of nationally-known and individual retailers at all price points.
On the lower level, there is a large food court with everything from Asian food to Mexican to burgers and salads. If you prefer a sit-down lunch, you can choose from restaurants like the Z Tejas, Kona Grill or Yard House.

Scottsdale Waterfront
If you leave Scottsdale Fashion Square via Nordstrom, you can easily walk over to the Scottsdale Waterfront complex, a newer addition to the shopping scene. Visit retailers such as Urban Outfitters, Sur La Table and Borders as well as many specialty boutiques. Also located in the complex are the high-end Scottsdale Waterfront Residences.
Dining at Scottsdale Waterfront is excellent. You can choose from Wildfish, an upscale seafood restaurant, Olive and Ivy, with its impressive design and waterfront location, as well as more casual offerings like PF Changs and Sauce.
Both Scottsdale Fashion Square and Scottsdale Waterfront are on the free Downtown Trolley route, which also takes you through Old Town Scottsdale.
