Christian Siriano Holiday 2009 Collection Now at Payless



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?

Forever 21 at ShopStyle


If you missed out, now's your chance to own something very similar from Forever 21. The color is admittedly totally different but I think the feather detail looks remarkably similar. Coincidence? I think not.
