Sneak Peek! Payless Designer Collaborations, Fall '09

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Ever since Payless went upscale, I've kept a close eye on it. The Fall designer shoes are avail and they're totally affordable. Alice + Olivia, Abaeté, Lela Rose, and Christian Siriano deliver sass via jewels, tassels, lace, chains, and buckles - all for under $60. Now my only question is, where are those amazing Abaeté chain booties? I'll keep a lookout for them, but in the meantime, check out what's in store.

Fab Flash: Rachel Bilson, InStyle Fashion Editor

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:01:28 -0700

Rachel Bilson is spreading her fashion wings by writing for InStyle magazine. In the May issue, the celebrity designer has her own page (page 148) named, Ask Rachel. "I’m actually flattered more than anything that people want to ask me questions about style. I am honored to do it,” said Bilson.

In her editorial debut, Rachel answers readers style questions and dishes on her favorite Spring items, which include Lela Rose for Payless flats, Lanvin sandals, and Matta scarves. When asked if it's OK to pair a big shoulder bag with a cocktail dress, Rachel replied, "You can absolutely wear a large purse with a party dress. In fact, I prefer it. Of course, it shouldn't be the size of a carry-on, and anything with an overly large strap is too casual. But a funky purse can offset the fuss of fancy." If you have any personal style questions for Rachel, submit them - we already sent ours!
