This place is fantastic for all of your designer needs. Tori Burch reigns supreme in here. The lovely women that own it are always available to help you pick out the perfect outfit. They carry KAI, which I’m not even gonna tell you about because I want you to go in and experience it for yourself. My little sister, who is quite the fashionista, makes it a priority to stop here every time she’s in town. It’s definitely a must see while you’re in Lexington.
