I don’t blog #NYFW happenings much

even when i was in NYC for #IFBCon last year, i didn’t blog much about it because I had been a tweetin fein the whole time, well… as long as my phone held juice.

and folks are blogging about it everywhere…

but anyway, there is one designer that i absolutely love almost everything about, except his lack of a plus size line (*double side eye*) and that is Christian Siriano.

and when i saw this, i almost screamed out loud!!

christian’s line from payless gets a lot of play on my blog simply because i love that he has not dumbed it down for the masses simply because its not at a high end price point.

he does of course tweak some of them from their runway versions to the actual one that we regular folk can rock but they still remain haute.

Runway

real way on me

so needless to say, the shoes that i saw yesterday during his fall 2011 show has me freaking out!!!

per the press release:

The Christian Siriano for Payless Gold collection is Christian’s exclusive line for Payless inspired by his runway shoe and handbag designs. The Fall ’11 line features six styles accented by rich gold hardware, dome rivet studs, petal embellishments, leather straps and stick-straight lacquered heels.

One notable, head-turning style is the convertible Tall-Shaft Armor Boot – an aesthetically powerful two-in-one style that features a contemporized Mary Jane upper and a gladiator-esque removable armor shaft. A tote and a clutch will also be carried down the runway in python and a lavish green “windmill” fabric – a nod to the natural inspiration of Christian’s collection
