			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I saw them in <strong>Payless</strong>&#8216; spring sale advertisement, I knew I had to have them.  The &#8220;<strong><a href="http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&amp;TLC=Womens&amp;SLC=WomensStory&amp;BLC=WomensPromoGladiator&amp;Width=Regular&amp;ItemCode=64687&amp;LotNumber=068453&amp;Type=Adult&amp;Popularity=&amp;DescriptiveColor=Blue&amp;cm_re=S09_P03_20090303*Gladiators*068453-Blue(Scarlet_Fringe_Sandal)">Scarlet Fringe Sandal</a></strong>&#8221; comes in black and a unique turquiose blue.  After searching for the blue suede sandals at a couple Payless stores, I spotted one pair in my size (9.5) in Manhattan.  &#8221;<em>You&#8217;re lucky</em>,&#8221; the sales clerk told me, adding that most Payless stores are sold out of the trendy style.</p>

<p>Fringe is a hot spring trend and adds a feminine touch to the gladiator sandal trend that some of my <strong>Splendicity</strong> colleagues seem to loathe.  I actually like gladiator sandals as flats &#8212; as heels not so much.  </p>
<p> </p>

<p>If you want a pair of these flirty fringe sandals, you don&#8217;t have to pound the pavement from store to store.  Simply go to <a href="http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&amp;TLC=Womens&amp;SLC=WomensStory&amp;BLC=WomensPromoGladiator&amp;Width=Regular&amp;ItemCode=64687&amp;LotNumber=068453&amp;Type=Adult&amp;Popularity=&amp;DescriptiveColor=Blue&amp;cm_re=S09_P03_20090303*Gladiators*068453-Blue(Scarlet_Fringe_Sandal)"><strong>Payless.com</strong></a> (sizes are limited in blue).</p>
