At 2 pm, I needed to get out and go somewhere, but I didn’t have anywhere to go. So, I decided to go window-shopping at South Coast Plaza. As I drove out of my garage, I noticed a cute squirrel family—2 big ones and one small one, running around together outside. They went to a tree to climb.

When I entered the mall, I noticed it was busy. There were long lines by the big luxury designer stores, such as Chanel, Dior, LV, Gucci, YSL, Prada, Tiffanys, etc. I took a stroll through the mall alleys. I stopped at Bloomingdale to sample Italiano espresso from Nespresso machine. The woman working the machine was a rude idiot. But I ignored her and moved on.

When I walked outside, I noticed the weather felt very hot and humid. I googled today’s temperature and noticed it is 90 degrees. Summer heat has arrived in September, the last days of summer.

I checked out fall 2021 fashions, which included lots of texture, denim, and warm-toned colors. I noticed flannel plaid shirts, sweaters, puffy quilted clothes and purses, long skirts, lots of boots, platform shoes, sandals with socks, shirt dress, long shorts, wide-legged cropped pants that tie at waist, lots of other cropped pants, layered preppy look for a cozy look, asymmetric long skirts, bright pink and bright yellow clothes, etc.

I suddenly noticed it is 6 pm. I decided to enjoy a small hot chocolate cup at Yellow Vase café, which reminded me of a French café in Paris—filled with café, flowers and bakery, but in yellow. I have always liked the look of this café. The hot chocolate was good, topped with thick cream. As I sipped my hot chocolate, I took snapshots of 3 Aston Martin cars, displayed inside the mall, near Saks 5th Avenue department store and other high-end boutiques.

After I finished drinking my hot chocolate, I drove home…

I noticed on my iPhone that I walked 3.2 miles, 1 floor, and 9,367 steps.

I also noticed booths all over the mall promoting children charities as well as some activities for kids.
