Pulling up a seat as I'm going to San Diego in October :)

The zoo has a baby panda!

Urban Decay make-up. I could spend an afternoon in Sephora just browsing all the brands and being schmoozed by OTT gay men with fabulous eyebrows!

If I was going, I'd treat myself to a Brazilian Blow out at a good hair salon.

I get all my basic cardis etc in Old Navy. I'm a cheap cah in that department.

I'd just look for the unusual too.

Can't wait! can you get a brazillian blow dry on short hair - or is that a daft question Grin
I agree with the cardi's !
Baby Panda oooH !

I always buy Abercombie when I'm over there, it's a hell of a lot cheaper. A £90 hoodie here is $90 there at the most. Their jeans are quite nice and for that it's worth going. I also buy MAC make up over there, I stock up and then come back with lots to last until my next trip.

Also if you have time try to visit Hotel del Coronado, it's such a beautiful hotel with the beach at the foot of it, it's more of a landmark. It also has some fantastic shops inside.

Envy - think all the US brands are the same in $ as in £ here.
So your Gap, Banana Rep, A&F (if you're into that)
I would be off to all the home stores myself.
