Sneak Peek! Payless Designer Collaborations, Fall '09
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.
Fabworthy: Tailcoats, Chains, and Lurex at Abaete
While serenaded by a live string orchestra at Abaete, I fell in love with three things. A "Theodore" tailored jacket in black twill that fulfills my vampire fantasies, the Abaete for Payless "Antoine" fold over black bootie with chain detail (remember they do a designer collaboration every season?), and lurex flecks and waves found on numerous tops and dresses. The collection was pretty Fab as a whole, inspired by Les Incroyables, a fashion subculture of post-revolutionary French society in the 1790s.
Fab's Favorite Payless Fall Designer Collection Pieces
Payless's collaboration with various high-end designers like Lela Rose, Abaeté, and Alice + Olivia is nothing new, but what is new is its designer collection for Fall. You will mainly find footwear, with some handbags and sunglasses sprinkled in. Some items fall flat, but still, others, like these Alice + Olivia for Payless Back Zip Boots ($48), shine.
Which Emma Stone Bunny Outfit Is Most Fab?
There are not enough redheads in Hollywood. There, I said it. Newcomer Emma Stone is taking every carpet by storm in her youthful, experimental getups.
Celebrity Style: Emma Stone
Whoever Emma Stone's stylist is, she's doing a stellar job making her client look sophisticated and cool at the same time. Keep it coming! For her latest appearance on MTV's TRL, the newcomer continued to look ever the budding fashionista in a purple Abaete one-shoulder top, a bubble-hemmed Yigal Azrouel skirt, and Jimmy Choo peep toe booties.
Fab Flash: All-Star Designer Trio Creates Supergirl Collection
Supergirl is getting a banging new look. In conjunction with Warner Bros., childhood friend designers Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, Alice Roi, and Laura Poretzky, are teaming up to create a resort collection under the Supergirl brand. Roi, who's known for her edgy signature line; Lonstein Gruss, contemporary designer for Shoshanna; and Poretzky, owner and designer of Abaeté, will be fusing their talents together into one collection.
Resort Trippin', Part IV
It's not surprising one of the key colors for Resort is white; and ancestors of: ivory, off-white, bone, and fog. But this group has enough floral energy to keep the trip from being stark. As well, tailored jackets are toughing up ultragirlie looks — per Abaete pictured.
2008 CFDA Awards: Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore is just such an adorable celeb. What's not to like about her natural beauty and witty personality? She pulled out all stops the last night at the CFDA Awards in a fabulous navy blue Abaete gown with white detailing.
Look of the Day: While The Boss Is Away . . .
Syako likes to play! She decided to take advantage of the boss being out of town and opted for a casual work pairing cropped white pants and a grey sweatshirt topped with an awesome necklace. I can't blame her for being naughty while the boss is away .
Tote Swag
Fashion Week is always more mellow on weekend days. It's easier to catch a cab, there's no rush hour and a (semi) laid back feel is in the air. Maybe that's what compelled three designers to give away handy tote bags at the shows.
