Insider Guide: Sara Rogers

As style expert for Mall of America, Sara's knows exactly what's hot and what's not, right now. This is her take on all things fashion and where to find them at the "Mega Mall."

Mall of America Best Bets

Bloomingdale's Theory Department
The Theory brand personifies "tailored meets modern."

Club Monaco
They offer classics with a twist. I find the best tops, skirts and pants there, plus they fit well and look more expensive than they are.

Nordstrom Shoe Department
They carry awesome shoes! Plus, I love how friendly and knowledgeable the sales people are and the customer service is second to none.

H & M
I can achieve the "look of the moment" without breaking the bank.

Burberry
The product speaks for itself.

A Few More of Sara's Favorites

Food at the State Fair
Onion Rings, onion rings, onion rings. Did I say onion rings? I will also have walleye and shrimp on a stick (I love fish), Green Mill Pizza, Famous Dave's Barbeque Ribs and Sweet Martha's Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Lake or Park
Lake Harriet Rose Garden is simply divine, I was married there.

Restaurant or Bar
I love the chicken caesar salad at Tucci Benucch and the grilled salmon or asiago and almond crusted halibut along with the maytag blue cheese salad from Kincaid's. I also like Broadstreet in Rochester, Minn.—they have the best boursin chicken recipe. I also like Bellanotte for mingling and enjoying cocktails with friends.
