Designer Lela Rose’s shoe/handbag collection for Payless has launched and is available in stores and online now. Texas-bred Lela Rose graduated from Parsons in 1993. After graduation, Rose worked for Richard Tyler before starting her own line in 1996. Rose says of her work, “My philosophy of design is about creating beautiful, hand finished clothes that exude a casual luxury and refinement.” Rose’s clothing is sold at luxury retailers like Bergdorf Goodman, but you can find Rose-designed items at a much, much cheaper price at good ol’ Payless. Highlights of the line include a pair of Victorian-inspired ankle boots for US$40. Keep reading for another of our faves.

This fall, platform heels remain chic while becoming more streamlined and less clunky. The pair above is from Narciso Rodriguez’s fall 2007 ready-to-wear collection. The peep toe, black leather, and large buckle give the shoe a tough rocker look. For a cheaper, similar shoe try the pair at right from Dru NY found at UrbanOutfitters.com for $150. The patent leather T-strap and platform heel will also give you that rocker vibe while keeping your precious little toes warm as the weather cools.
