There are some nice places to shop in Sarasota, especially St. Armands Circle. It's a pretty wealthy area though, so don't expect great sales on designer stuff.

There is a big outlet just north of Sarasota in Ellenton where you could get some bargains.

I really liked the Orlando premium outlets.. They had a Dior, Fendi, Ralph Lauren, Barneys, Farragamo, Burberry, Diesel, etc.

I love St. Armands! We go more for the great restaurants & people watching than the shopping though, lol.. Gonna have to check out the Ellenton outlets!
