Props to Laura Poretzky for being the first designer to jump on the Payless (LINK: http://www.payless.com/) bandwagon and do budget-friendly accessories that many a fashionistas adore. For Abaete’s spring/summer 20008 collection consisted of soft flowy dresses, loose tunics, and cinched waists. These basic staples were often shown with open back, peep-toe Abaete for Payless(LINK: http://www.payless.com/Abaete/?cm_re=F07_p02a_20070815*Brands*Abaete) ankle booties and almost every look was topped off with a thick headband, which kept the styles looking fresh and laidback. While the show started off with the procession of soft pink and ivory combinations, later on, navy blue was added to the mix. Adding to the ‘I’m an effortless fashionista who plays by my own rules’ vibe of this collection was the incorporation of Abaete for Payless large clutches- a practical and chic choice. Color Palette: Soft pink, ivory, navy blue, cobalt Takeaway Trend: Oversized clutches For the Bagista Who: Mixes high with low and always looks mercilessly put together. The Abaete girl would love the oversized clutch from newcomer Antoinette Lee (as scene in InStyle and DailyCandy).

Color Palette: Ivory, Taupe, soft pink, lilac

Shoe colors: nude, cream, and grey leather pumps prevailed

The cuts/styles: wrap dresses, bustiers, pleated dresses and skirts, origami folds

For the Bagistas Who: Loves a good trend and knows how to make it her own. She’ll rock a dark grey bag with a silver and red silk scarf accent.
