CHRISTIAN SIRIANO & ABAETE for PAYLESS

If you’ve been wondering if Project Runway’s most recent winner Christian Siriano’s designs for Payless would be a hot tranny mess, the moment has arrived to check them out.  Christian is hands down my favorite PR winner, and in my opinion “Most Likely To Succeed.”  I was a little surprised that one of his first outings was a partnership with Payless, but the results are kinda fierce.  The booties are totally on trend, and the teal “lizard” print is a a unique print and hot for Fall.  The clutch with rocker hardware is great for a night out or even to keep inside a larger tote.  I’m especially loving the chain embellished Saunter Flat.  I intend to shimmy over to Payless today and check them out.

Payless is also currently featuring on trend partnerships with other big name designers: Abaete and Alice + Olivia.  Check out the chain draped Antoine Bootie by Abaete in either black or gray suede – supes cute.  I’m also loving all of the Alice + Olivia boots.  The Robertson Jeweled Boot could be the frugal choice for evening looks for the rest of the season.  I’m also intrigued by the drama of the Rivoli Fan Clutch. 

Note, I haven’t tried on any of these shoes & booties, so I can’t vouch for their comfort, but they all get an A for Fierceness.

Ladies mark your calendars – Jimmy Choo is coming to H&M.  I just received the H&M Newsletter and was tickled to read the info below.  I wish there were more pix of shoes from the collection, but this is all that is contained in their press section at the moment.
