The Art of Sarasota Life
Welcome to Style & Living, where coastal elegance meets everyday luxury
Sarasota isn't just a place you live—it's a lifestyle. From the effortless sophistication of St. Armands Circle to the laid-back luxury of Siesta Key, our city has mastered the art of living well. Style & Living is your guide to embracing the Sarasota way of life in all its sun-soaked glory.
What Defines Sarasota Style?
Coastal Sophistication Our style is where beach meets boardroom, where you can transition seamlessly from a morning yoga session on Lido Beach to an evening at the opera. It's about understanding that true luxury often lies in simplicity—a perfectly crisp white shirt, a well-tailored linen blazer, or the confidence to wear flip-flops to a gallery opening.
Seasonal Living In Sarasota, we dress for paradise year-round, but we know the subtle art of seasonal adaptation. From lightweight linens that catch the gulf breeze to statement pieces that shine under the Van Wezel's lights, Style & Living will help you navigate every social season with grace.
