This boutique has its roots in Toronto and basically recycles clothes. They take old sweaters, jeans and other items and turn them into ultra-cool, modern creations, each one unique. Prices range from $30 - $250. The staff are friendly and they often have really great sales.

This is a really cheap, fun place to stay in Fort Lauderdale, two minutes from the beach (you just have to cross the road). Although it looks a bit dodgy from the outside, the staff here are really friendly and I had a fantastic time when I went. I met tonnes of really nice people who really made my holiday!
It's on a busy street but that means you have two bus routes at your disposal, the bus is ultra-cheap too at $2 for a day-pass. It's also near the inland waterway where you can get on the boat-taxi - beautiful views of expensive mansions all the way to downtown.
