What’s the Buzz?

Lillybee Shoes at SimplySoles

’Twas a time that fame meant having a sandwich named in your honor at the hometown deli. (We’ll have the Reuben Studdard with extra kraut …)

A more enviable status symbol: a dashing pair of Lillybee shoes, each named for a hot-to-trot A-lister.

The brand new line comes from District-based designer Kassie Rempel, who’s been accruing shoe wisdom since launching e-store SimplySoles in 2004. Rempel named the collection (a site exclusive) for the celebs in her own life: her daughter Lily and her son, who loves bees.

Our favorites models are Gwenyth, a sleek, silver day-to-nighter with a subtle stacked wedge; and Jessica, a patent leather Mary Jane with a big gold buckle and contrast stitching.

More styles are coming soon.

And, like these, you’ll want to eat them up.
