Not to be outdone by the big boys in the emerging trend of high-end designer doing a mid to low-end line (who didn’t gasp when they found out Alexander McQueen was doing a line for Target), Payless has also added some heavy hitters to their roster.

The limited edition summer 2009  Payless collections will feature designs by  alice + olivia, not to mention some other great appearances from Abaete, and Lela Rose.

Now I personally have never bought too hard into the Payless designer lines with the exception of a few pieces, but the alice + olivia collection is quite simply put – on point.

In true alice + olivia fashion the wedge ran rampant throughout the collection along with platform sandals, chuck taylor inspired sneakers and they even did some really trendy hobo bags and clutches.

All items ran under $40 and the best part is… you would never even know it.
