Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 21 reviews
Zero Dress Code is located in the Florida Keys where there is very little dress code. A chain of islands surrounded by turquoise waters and sunshine doesn't allow time for fussy fashion. We appreciate our laid back atmosphere here in the Keys, but we understand that creating our own style defines us. Fashion has no rules, and if it does, those rules were meant to be broken. Don't be afraid to create your own fashion and to embrace our Keys mindset. Shop unique styles in a variety of sizes where comfort and quality meet. We offer a great selection of women's apparel, jewelry, accessories, and home decor. Take the Florida Keys home with you and ROCK our Zero Dress Code!

We spent the day poking around art galleries in the Keys. I have nothing against tarpon and beach scenes, but after about 8 stops, the fish heads were all starting the blur together. Michelle Nicole Lowe's gallery was our last stop and Michelle herself greeted us from her table in the back where she was, as we might have expected, painting. Her pieces are vibrant and colorful and, although her subjects are also marine life, her style is different from a lot of Keys artists. Her prices are mid range compared to the other galleries we visited and you can tell she has a passion for her art. Michelle is also very nice and friendly. We enjoyed chatting with her and hearing about her gallery. If you are looking for a gallery that is refreshingly different, stop into see Michelle.

We happened upon Seaside Glasswork art studio and gallery while visiting another shop in the same strip shopping center, and Seaside Glassworks turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit to the Keys. The art glass is so unique and so stunning. It was a pleasure to just wander around the gallery and look at the glasswork. As I talked with the artist, Stephanie, I learned that she prepares art pieces on commission, so I had her create a glass "painting" for me of a manatee I photographed during a snorkel adventure. Stephanie was easy to work with, and sent me multiple "previews." The final piece exceeded my expectations, and is a beautiful addition to our home. Highly recommend a stop in this gallery.

Old Road Gallery is at Mileage Marker 88.8. It is an art studio owned by Dwayne King (copper & brass) and Cindy King (pottery) They also have on display several other artists products. The store is small, but packed with beautiful one-of-a-kind items. Cindy gave us a tour and suggested we visit the gardens. We really enjoyed the Sculpture Garden - full of wonderfully whimsical corners with functional seating, broken pottery pieces and several of the neighbors roosters & chickens! I inquired about a ceramic butter bell and there was one, but I already had one that was similar. I ended up purchasing aSecret Wooden Box for $18.00. Definitely stop in and be sure to see the garden!

My wife and I came across Pasta's art work at one of the Islamorada restaurant's. We went to the gallery and were really impressed with how he portrays the fish and landscapes of the area. Pasta and his wife took the time to talk to us and help find exactly what we were looking for. They were very cool and passionate about his work. He even touched up and played with one of the paintings to make it just what I was looking for. We ended up buying two pieces to bring home with us. Highly recommend stopping by and if you're lucky - meeting the artist!
