The LAB in Costa Mesa.
They define themselves as "anti-mall".
Not too big but they have some nice selected shops.
Urban Outfitter is kinda mall-y?
but their home decor section seems a lot more than the other locations and I like that.
 The boutique called "Gloss"　has colorful and very summery lineup with very reasonable prices.
"Gypsy Den" sure is very gypsy like cafe.
I get drinks to go and enjoy it on the table at the magazine station.
Everyone seems to be a lot friendlier and happier than staffs at mall, that's for sure.
My bf says it's too hippie. lol
Yes, indeed but I like it.

コスタメサのThe LAB
アンチ・モールと言われています。
そこまで大きくないけれど、個性的なお店がいくつか入っています。
Urban Outfitterはモールっぽいかな？というかんじながら、
でもインテリア雑貨コーナーは他の店舗よりもずっと充実していていいかんじ。
”グロス”という洋服屋さんはカラフルで夏っぽい品揃えでしかもとってもお安くてお気に入り。
ジプシー・デンは名前の通り、ほんとにジプシーな雰囲気のカフェ。
飲み物をテイクアウトして雑誌コーナーのテーブルで休憩。
モールの店員さん達よりもみんな遥かにフレンドリーでハッピーなかんじなのは確か。
彼曰く、ヒッピーすぎる、と。笑
いかにも。でも私はいいと思う。
