Walk Like an Egyptian

I am such a fan of the collaborations between designers & retailers such as Target, Kohls, Penny's, etc. --as you all well know. So when Payless joined the ranks, I was equally as intrigued and excited. But sad to say, I was quite disappointed in the Alice + Olivia collection & hoped that another designer might swoop in & produce something fierce in the future to really catch my eye. Well his ears must have been burning because Mr. Fierce himself, Christian Soriano, (we'll let him & Tyra quibble over who coined "fierce") is the newest designer to debut his footwear & accessories collection for Payless. His line is set to grace select Payless stores on September 8th- BUT there is still some question about what these shoes will look like when they are finally unveiled. His initial collection came down the runway at Fashion Week in February with guns blazing! The Egyptian inspired footwear was ravishing with spikes, chains & sky high, gold, cone heels-- but apparently they have already gone through a serious editing phase to appease the masses. A slightly lower heel would be more practical for those of us not sauntering down the catwalk on a daily basis-- But, I LOVED the initial collection so I'm hoping there is still some sass and grit left when they finally hit stores next month. I think the light blue, hieroglyphic like, platforms are seductively sweet & the rich, brown booties have a wearable edge. Everything is reasonably priced as expected, $25-$45-- so recessionistas rejoice!
