In the latest news of clothing-retailers-selling-things-other-than-clothes is that Nine West will soon sell their own set of fragrances. (So, I guess that means that this is more like shoe-retailers-selling-things-other-than-shoes, right?!)

No news yet on what the fragrances will smell like (hopefully nothing like shoes or anything boring like that), but they're set to launch next fall in select department stores, specialty retailers and (of course) Nine West stores.

Hmmm....I'm wondering what would posses the retailer to sale fragrance? Why not something like foot lotion? But, I guess if Payless ShoeSource can sell cosmetics, then there's no real rules left as to what any store can sell nowadays.

You've heard that two of our favorite clothing retailers (H&M and Top Shop) will be adding beauty products to their shelves soon. The newest retailer to jump on the beauty product band wagon?: Payless ShoeSource. Yes, you read that correctly. A shoe store.

While we applaud them on their efforts to add add hip new shoe collections to their repertoire (those from the Christian Siriano collection are just too fly!) we have to give the side eye to this announcement.

According to wwd.com, beginning Sept. 1, the shoe behemoth will launch bath and body products that link back to shoe and accessory brands of the same names. Beauty products will include a collection of up to 60 items (such as fragrance, lotion and color for eyes, lips and nails) and retail for $2.99 to $19.99.

Although we aren't too keen on the idea of how great a fragrance named after a shoe can smell, we are excited to see whether fashion designers Alice + Olivia, Christian Siriano and Lela Rose will offer beauty products inspired from their collections as well.

What do you think, Glamazons? Beauty products inspired by shoe collections at Payless ShoeSource. Will you buy them? Do you think it's going to be any different from purchasing these items at your local drug store?
