Abaete for Payless ‘Alex’ Wedge
December 28, 2006 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
New Year’s Party tickets - $200. Little Black Dress - $150. Designer Handbag - $300. You’ve already spent a ton of money on your New Year’s look. While Manolos and Jimmy Choo’s are your typical party shoe de jour, they may not give you (or your pocketbook) that extra stamina.
Laura Poretzky’s Abaeté collection for Payless has the answer. The “Alex” Wedge is the perfect party show – a sleek black satin sandal is paired with faux snakeskin trim and gold piping. A delicate strap gently hugs your ankle while a padded bed lets your feet rest while you dance the night away.
And you can save that extra money for cocktails and party favors.

Henry Cuir ‘Puzzle Tote’
December 26, 2006 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Sometimes in design, the pieces fit together just like a puzzle.
This is evident in Henry Cuir’s Puzzle Bag. Hand–stitched leather ‘puzzle’ pieces form the body of the bag – bulging shapes give it a 3-D appeal. A lengthy strap is perfect to wear over the shoulder, and a beaded closure adds an unexpected feminine touch.
It’s a piece that will fit perfectly into your wardrobe.

Jackie Goes Jogging Women’s Short Sleeve Top
December 18, 2006 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Most of us dread the gym, if not for the sweat and exhaustion, for the exceptionally bad fashion. Oversized tees and sweats typically abound, and that is reason enough to conjure up excuses not to return.
Jackie Goes Jogging prettifies the workout experience with tops so chic you’ll want to sport them all day long. The Women’s Short Sleeve Top is a beautifully tailored blue puff-sleeve shirt, with gathers around the neck, and a side sash tie waist. Both pretty and practical, the top is made of a fabric that dries quickly, and is lightweight so it won’t drag you down.
Finally, a good excuse to go to the gym.
