Payless has Definitely stepped there game up throughout the years, especially after working with designers like Lela Rose or one of my favorites Alice and Olivia. I must admit I once didnt like payless because I was what you might call a "brand whore" but my oo my how time changes us.

I really like what Alice and Olivia has brought to Payless, A little more color and craziness than there usual selection. I went with my mom the other day and ended up getting there black gladiator platforms with a crazy heel. I've been meaning to get a shoe like this for a while, not quite sure what I was waiting for. They are surprisingly comfortable except when walking on bumpy or slanted sidewalks. I'm disappointed to say that the first day I wore them out a small rock dented the platform on the bottom, I was shocked that would happen so fast(thankfully this didnt effect the walking). But nonetheless I love this shoe, its sexy!

I also purchased these cute little brown and rusty gold sandals. I really like the straps I think they look different and I've already gotten asked where I purchased them 3 times! That's always a good sign.

Altogether I spent about $50.00, not bad at all.
