Shoebox Greetings
The Little Shoebox Opens

play footsie!

When you really think about it, April showers bring a whole bunch of massive puddles. But once those rain boots are retired, it’s time to debut some sparkling new spring shoes.

That’s where Bethesda’s new shoe boutique, The Little Shoebox, comes in.

Owners Emilie Blaze and Janie Griffin opened this past weekend with a collection that should put some spring in every step. Popular lines like Giuseppe Zanotti and Kate Spade sit alongside up-and-comers like Brooklyn’s Olivia Rose Tal, Lario from Italy, and the new collection of shiny flats from dressmeister Tibi.

Love a splash of color or a statement pattern? The decor will inspire before your eyes even hit the merchandise. Girl-glam touches — from floor (leopard-print carpet) to ceiling (glitzy chandeliers) with lime ottomans, flamingo walls, and fuchsia and red velvet chairs in between — should put you in the mood for spring.

Come what May.

 

The Little Shoebox, 7134 Bethesda Lane (301-654-7463).
