Shopping in KC

Ok, I was going to write up a post about some of the best places to go on a shopping spree here in Kansas City. But as I was researching and looking for links to include, I found this article and their top 3 places were the same as mine (Country Club Plaza, Oak Park Mall, Zona Rosa) so I figure that I might as well just let you read it instead...

Here's the top 3 from the article:

Kansas City truly is a shopaholics paradise--even the first outdoor shopping mall started here! These top shopping areas showcase some of Kansas City's most fabulous stores. From quaint boutiques, awesome shops and department stores, to discount outlets and vintage retailers--you'll find it all are here in Kansas City.

1) The Country Club Plaza
The Country Club Plaza is Kansas City's legendary shopping, dining and entertaining district that has everything you need. From high fashion retailers including Anthropologie, St. John, BCBG, and Tiffany to Urban Outfitters, and Armani Exchange--all love to call the Plaza home. Don't miss local faves like Halls, N. Valentino and Hemline to find designer labels like no place else in the city. See why over 170 shops and restuarants make it KC's top place to shop.

2) The Oak Park Mall
One of Kansas City's largest indoor shopping centers, Oak Park Mall offers 187 specialty stores and major department retailers including Dillard's and Nordstrom. The Oak Park Mall pretty much has everything under one roof-including Sephora, J. Crew, Banana Republic, Nine West, Rainforest Cafe and a host of other great stores.

3) The Zona Rosa
The Zona Rosa--Kansas City's premier outdoor shopping, dining and nightlife district has something for everyone. Here you'll find Forever 21, Gap, Baby Gap and Gap Maternity, DSW and Ann Taylor Loft just to name a few. They've also got a great array of restaurants and bars like O'doud's, Tomfooleries, Bravo Italian Cucina, and Abuelo's which are great for a post day-of-shopping feast.
