Tory Burch Burch’s signature tunics were all the rage last summer, and now Dallas is lucky enough to get one of only five Tory Burch boutiques. The New York designer (and former fashion editor) makes everyday clothes for the stylish woman. Her moderately priced ($35-$650) American sportswear collection is easy to wear yet fashion-forward. You will find graphic-print tops, silk dresses, sleek pants, embroidered jackets, and eclectic accessories. Not just for the trendy, this line will appease any woman of style. 17 Highland Park Village. 214-559-2400.
