Abaete for Payless Fall Collection

Abaete's fall collection for Payless has finally arrived, and its...tacky. Again. I don't understand why Laura Poretzky just can't seem to get her Payless line right. It's truly a disappointment. I suppose that the shoes are, in fact, more interesting than the usual Payless shoes, and a few of them are actually quite attractive. Yet the patent leather and lucite and metallic combination just isn't doing much for me. Too many trends on a little shoe.


Now, to start the pictures off on a positive note, these shoes are one of the few that I actually like. Aren't they pretty? Love 'em!


It would also be unfair to criticise these. They're not great, but not offensive either.
Ewww. These are tacky and ugly and will make your feet look like triangles.

Again, eww. Loafers gone bad.
These don't look so bad at first glance, but the patent zip-off top makes me cringe.
Sooooo tacky! Yuck!

I like this bag, though. The rest of the accessories were fairly basic sunglasses and an ugly clutch.



Alright, so I'm not too impressed with Abaete for Payless. Let's hope that Lela Rose and Patricia Field's lines will be much better. I definitely trust Patricia to do a good job (Have you seen Sex & the City and The Devil Wears Prada? The woman's a genius!), but I don't know very much about Lela Rose. As for Abaete, well, let's just say I've given up.

It is kind of dull and colourless, isn't it... And hah, I like how they have all the filenames for the pictures end with beauty.gif. :P
