Patricia Field for Payless Summer 08


So I saw Sex and the City: The Movie over the weekend and as I expected, it was fabulous. Stayed true to the series, full of laughter and tears, and of course, the fashion did not disappoint. So with visions of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda still fresh in my mind, it's a good thing we have their fairy godmother stylist Patricia Field's Summer Collection for Payless to amuse us. If the Heiress pump looks good in person, I'll probably get a pair in Turquoise to go with this red dress that I purchased for an upcoming event. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Look for Less: Ruffle Pleated Halter




Delicate rows of ruffles adorn the front of the sophisticated frock on the left by designer Robert Rodriguez, which retails for $320 at stores like Intermix and Neiman Marcus. If you like the concept but can't come up with the cash, then Forever 21 has you covered with their "Miriam" chiffon dress (right). It's got all the key features of the designer garment - delicious ruffles, sexy halter neckline, pleated skirt - and it comes in better colors: bright fuchsia or royal blue. Get one of each, we won't tell.
