Christian Siriano for Payless Geneva Front Zip Boot, $49.99

The Christian Siriano for Payless Holiday 2009 Collection is now available at select Payless stores (read: the stores farthest from my house) and at Payless.com. Prices range from $29.99 to $49.99 for styles which include a peep-toe zipper boot, gold and black pump, gold flats, floral flats and a strappy sandal with a cone heel. There are also two handbags which I can't seem to find on their site at the moment so just keep an eye out for those. I would have liked to have seen a low-heel boot included in this sizzling collection. Aside from that, I think Siriano is definitely bringing The Fierce to Payless. Think you'll pick up something from this collection?

I have spent the whole summer looking for tights a la Blair waldorf from Gossip Girl that are at a reasonable price. Any idea where I can find some in nice colors and fabrics? —Jackie

Colored or patterned tights add visual interest to many cold-weather looks, and the best part is you don't have to spend a lot to get a great pair. This season, I'd recommend you try American Eagle, Target, barenecessities.com, Ann Taylor Loft, Nordstrom (Hue brand is great), Kohls (try Apt. 9 or Simply Vera Vera Wang), T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, or welovecolors.com.

Here are some great finds online:
