Named after the owner’s grandmother, this sassy boutique is a true gem. The personalized customer service, cozy ambiance, and wide selection of special pieces make the store a must in any girl’s fashion arsenal. The collection boasts a wealth of innovative women’s dresses, featuring unique styles that heftily range from $100-300, but there are often sales, and the atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious.

Nestled on a busy street filled with bars, Willow is easy to pass – but make sure you don’t. The carefully curated collection features impeccable pieces; every item in the store was individually selected. There’s also vintage clothing, home goods, and a men’s T-shirt racks. Prices are affordable, and plenty of tops cost $20 here.
