Catherine O'Malley doesn't just run Fairlane Town Center as its general manager—she's an avid shopper, too. And while shopaholics everywhere look forward to the holiday season, O'Malley offered her tips for staying safe and having fun while shopping, whether at Fairlane, in the mad rush of Toys 'R' Us on Black Friday, or picking up a few gifts from small businesses. 1. "Make sure you're comfortable," O'Malley said, sharing that she often sees Black Friday shoppers at the mall in pajamas and slippers. Is it comfy? Then go for it!

Does Your Daughter Wear This?

With back to school fast approaching, Dearborn Patch takes a look at some of the top trends for teenage girls at Fairlane Town Center.

It's a battle as old as time: Mom takes daughter out for back-to-school outfit shopping. Daughter picks out clothes. Mom vehemently disagrees. Or does she? We took a trip to Dearborn's Fairlane Town Center to look at some of the latest trends in fashion for teen and tween girls. Tribal and animal prints, embellishments, brightly colored pants and grunge rule the scene. Cropped tops, lace and fake glasses make an appearance. But what we want to know is: Does your daughter wear these fashions? Managers at Sears, Wet Seal and Love Culture told us about what's in with teen girls these days. Tell us what you think, and what the teen girls in your life are wearing these days that you like–or not.
