I'm not sure about you, but I am so much more inclined to buy a product or support a brand if I believe in the people behind it. It's the same reason I pretty much
only buy my outdoor gear from
Patagonia. It's the same reason I visit the same boutique over and over again because I not only want to clothe myself in things that (I think!) look good, but I want to support the people/person offering me the selection. Similarly, this notion is why I love Texas-born designer Lela Rose. She has appeared to be extremely down to earth from day one...even designing a line of shoes for
Payless, making her genius accessible to just about anyone.
At her Spring 2011 RTW show last fall, her models partners their breath-taking ensembles with styles from the now-available Payless line.

I'm particularly partial to wedges since I'll be trouncing up and down the hilly streets of Asheville.
Lela Rose for Payless Bolivar Wedge: $49.99
Lela Rose for Payless Loreto Wedge: $49.99
Lela Rose for Payless Olivos Satin T Strap Pump: $44.99Which one is your favorite? I think the Bolivar wedge might have to be mine by the end of the week!
Ohhhh fun! I think I vote for the first pair...I THINK!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Linds. First pair is definitely my fave.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I always look on the brand before I will buy my clothes. But, for casual clothing men, it is hard for me to choose best for my husband.
