Fruit by the Foot

SimplySoles Shoe Boutique Opens

Sure, you roll with an entourage of assistants, personal chefs, and umbrella handlers. (Their names are BlackBerry, barista, and your hand.)

When the world treats you more like pauper than princess, head to SimplySoles’s new brick-and-mortar shoe boutique.

Open only by appointment and on Saturdays, the tiny shop caters to your feet with an array of pumps, flats, wedges, and boots — many of which are exclusive styles — from designers like Chie Mihara, Butter, and Bettye Muller. It also stocks owner Kassie Rempel’s Lillybee line and totes by Billy Bag and Bulga.

Call ahead to have consultants pull your size, then relax on the plush green sofa beneath the coconut shell chandelier.

And let the heeling begin.

SimplySoles, 1438 Park Road NW, between 14th and 15th Streets (202-232-0072 or simplysoles.com). Mention DailyCandy for 25 percent off all purchases today by appointment or tomorrow. Or enter code SOLECANDY at online checkout.
