SHOPPING 14 | Fannie Hillman + Associates rlando has gained recognition for being one of the world's most alluring and entertaining spots for a family vacation, but this appeal is just the start. Opportunities for world-class shopping abound in this region, where elegant retail destinations are never more than a stone's throw away. For luxury purchases—or just the ultimate in window shopping—the Mall at Millenia is home to some of the most haute boutiques the state has to offer. This airy, luxury mall boasts more than 150 storefronts, with brands like Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Prada, and Gucci, to name just a few. The mall is a destination in and of itself, where numerous eateries, like Capital Grille, The Cheesecake Factory, and P.F. Chang's round out a selection for even the most discerning palate. For a quieter, neighborhood shopping experience, the College Park area offers a hip, trendy alternative, where bungalow-style homes overlook the enchanting Edgewater Drive district. If you're a fan of one-of-a-kind offerings, like boutique fare, or have an affinity for an afternoon spent antiquing, it's hard to beat the level of quality and friendly service offered by this neighborhood's shopkeepers, especially if you're visiting during events like the annual Jazz Fest or Dancing on the Drive. Winter Park, known for its curb appeal, has also become a favored shopping destination, boasting more than 140 unique boutiques that are popular with international visitors and college students alike. With name brands and individually owned consignment shops, you never know what you'll discover unless you look in every nook and cranny: keep an eye open for local favorites, like Tuni and Bebe's, and be sure to scope out the high-end couture offered by Cida's Consignment. And for bargain shoppers, the city's tourist corridor, with the Premium Outlets, offers discounted gear from some of the largest names in retail— Saks, Coach, and Neiman Marcus, to name a few. From fun keepsakes to once-in-a-lifetime finds, shopping alone is reason enough to extend your trip to Orlando. Who knows? You may never want to leave. The Mall at Millenia O
