Carnaby Street comes to Sarasota by way of Scandinavia with 4-You of Denmark’s mod fitted shirts, coveted for their great detailing. Beau Monde also carries Ben Sherman shirts favored by rock stars and musicians across the globe.
These Boots Are Made for walking through Notting Hill, but designer Ted Baker’s spot-on look works equally well this side of the pond. BeauMonde carries his impeccably styled clothing and accessories for both men and women.
Can’t Live Without a great accessory. Wilson personally loves to dress up basics like her silk Original Penguin blouse ($575, above) with “killer” accessories like this unisex Tatossian watch ($300) in fashion colors. BeauMonde, 1529 State St., (941) 953-5111.
