'Sure, there are brand-new Tiffany and Gucci stores at the Waterside Shops at Pelican Bay, and Hermès and Vuitton shops are on the way. But you may prefer to skip the chain stores for the boutiques and art galleries of Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South downtown. After all, Marissa Collections ( 239-263-4333) is a 10,000-square-foot bastion of luxury that sells an impeccable collection of Versace, Prada, Zac Posen, Derek Lam, Vera Wang, Miu Miu, you name it. Marissa Hartington, who opened the store 30 years ago with $500, still handpicks each piece, steadily expanding the 'boutique' section of trendier, more affordable labels because of a younger clientele. If it's art you're interested in, Broad Avenue South goes by the moniker Gallery Row. Representing the likes of Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn, the Marianne Friedland Gallery (359 Broad Avenue South, 239-262-3484) stands out as a spare and serious modern and American contemporary gallery amid blocks of more ornate, decorative works and old masters.''
