Shopping

Shopping is best along Bardstown Road for the latest trends. Start at the intersection of Taylorsville Rd and Bardstown and go in and out of stores all the way into town.

Don't miss General Eccentric at 1283 Bardstown Road and Clodhoppers at 1561 Bardstown Road; they stay on top of fashion. Don't miss Pataya 955 Baxter Avenue 479-6006 or Fung Shway either. Now there is Luna Boutique next to Avalon at 1310 Bardstown Rd, 454-7620. These are the most likely places to find New York fashion in Kentucky.

After Bardstown Road, cruise down to Frankfort Avenue and Lexington Rd, where you can find the hottest shops for everyday work or social event. Blink Boutique, featured in Lucky Magazine, is located at 319 Wallace Avenue 40207 close to St. Matthews and the Highlands upscale clothing stores. Lady Bug in Prospect at US 42 and River Road has "classic trends". We also recommend Julep at 2420 Lime Kiln Ln, 425-3926, Rodeo Drive at 2212 Holiday manor Center, 425-8999, Rodes at 4938 Brownsboro Rd, 753-7633, Croquis at 1201 Herr Ln, 425-7212 and Circe 3630 Brownsboro Rd, 894-0095.
