It seems like saving money is in style these days, which is good news for me and anyone else feeling the burn of rising commodity prices. Mass production fashion chains, I usually avoid such as Payless, H&M and Old Navy, now offer some very interesting designs at very low prices.
Payless has some great designers contributing to their Fall line-up (unfortunately I think this is only in the states but luckily the shoes are still in reach with online shopping.) Mainly, I'm impressed with Alice & Olivia designs like this pair of peep toe, wedge boots selling for about $50. Payless shoes were actually featured on New York Fashion Week's runways this year.
On a venture to Yorkdale Mall, I was in the search for the perfect sandals for summer. I thought I found them at Browns in the form of a light beige Calvin Klein gladiator, but when I tried them on, there was no love. They were a bit uncomfortable even without heels and it was hard to get the double buckles done up. I walked into every store trying to find something else and randomly in Old Navy I found two pairs I loved and a tier ruffle tank (now my favorite clothing item.) September's Vogue featured a Old Navy ad with the above dress in all it's structured perfectness (two-toned dresses are in for fall as featured in one of Vogue's high end photo spreads.) It will be mine very soon at the price of $29.99.
Last but not least, H&M. I never really buy anything here but I defiantly will be buying in early November when H&M collaborates with Comme des Garcon for a Fall 2008 limited collection. If the clothing are anything like their high end, fall ready-to-wear collection featured above, all of Toronto's fashion lovers are in for a thrill!
