Remember how - <a href="http://www.shoeblog.com/blog/this-week-in-shoes-81/" target="_blank">not too long ago</a> -* <a href="http://www.shoeblog.com/blog/christian-siriano-for-payless-2/" target="_blank">we were anticipating the new Christian Siriano-Payless Shoesource collaboration</a>?

Well, some styles are now available in-store an online.

These are cute and I like the idea of supporting new designers - particularly when they are trying to create affordable fashion for the many folks who must stay on-budget every month.

But, online styles appear to be limited ..... Let's hope there are more styles to be found in-store.

...Or, am I just being unreasonably greedy to get my hands on a pair of the edgy little <a href="http://www.shoeblog.com/blog/christian-and-other-craziness-of-the-ny-fashion-week-variety/" target="_blank">chain-adorned numbers we saw on the runway?</a>

Now I'll just have to* try to get some time to go into town today to see if anything has shown up locally. Unfortunately, small-town living may not bode well for me in this instance.

ETA: Another new style just popped up on the Payless site <em>(particularly useful to those who's local stores never saw any September in-store stock)</em>; these certainly weren't there yesterday morning - Brown snakeskin flats:

<p style="text-align: left;">I suppose there's some of that chain we have been mentioning in the comments below.</p>
