Sassy Tootsies
401 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954/767-1077, www.sassytootsies.com

 Lindsay Lohan, Reese Witherspoon and Beyoncé wear Sassy Tootsies' shoes, so it's no wonder the line is gaining popularity. Designed by the mother-daughter team of Marilyn Turchin and Tara Latona, Sassy Tootsies' footwear includes a line of flip-flops decorated with ribbons and Austrian crystals, and another studded with rhinestones, priced from $58 to $138. Former New Jersey resident Latona now lives in Fort Lauderdale, while her mom commutes back and forth between Florida and New Jersey. The team also designs visors and T-shirts.
