This cold weather has me browsing the online shoe stores for new shoes and dreaming about wearing strappy sandals and open toe shoes. If you are ready for warmer weather where you are, I highly recommend checking out the new Spring shoes that are out now. Start planning early the shoes you will need to add to your collection this Spring.

L.A.M.B. Shoes by Gwen Stefani are always so chick and sexy. Be prepared to walk on stilts because the heels are quite high, but you’ll get a bit of help with the nearly 1 inch platform on these new L.A.M.B. Shoes.

The L.A.M.B. Vail Platform Pump has stacked angular-shaped cutouts and overlays in suede and smooth leather atop a partially gold metallic heel and a basket-weave platform. I just love the contrasting textures on this sandal! Available in black/grey or in this black/red/natural style as shown in the image above.

The L.A.M.B. Verdu also incorporates a mix of textures, with mesh lace trimmed with leather. This sandal is also available in black, but I think these colors and the mesh lace are perfect for Spring and Summer!

Gwen Stefani is widely recognized for her eclectic personal style and natural elegance. Her shoe collection is born out of her love of fashion and design and is a reflection of her personal style and creativity.

It’s hard to believe how fast this year has gone by. Halloween is this weekend and I just received the invitation for my company Holiday Party in December! I think these invitations for parties are on the same schedule for putting up Christmas decorations, and it seems to get earlier with each year.

Thinking of Holiday Parties has me also thinking of what I’ll wear and, as I was perusing the Heels.com website, I noticed that they just added a ton of new party shoes that are perfect for the fast approaching season of parties and events.

Here are a few of my favorites among the many new styles added at Heels.com.

Fergie Lavish – Magenta Suede

Carlos by Carlos Santana Prestige – Grafite

Dereon Tequila Heel – Brown

Dereon Lite Heel – Brown

Oh, and if you’ve not visited the Heels.com website before, you must check out their videos. For each shoe style, there is a video of a model wearing and walking in the shoe making it so much easier to see how the shoe will look when worn.

Via Spiga’s new Fall 2009 Collection is getting noticed and for all the right reasons. Why you ask? Well, it may be because it is the first collection from their new Creative Director, Paola Venturi. With nearly 2 decades of experience, Venturi has led creative design for some well-known design houses including Te Casan, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, and Sergio Rossi (where she started her career).

Venturi is based in Italy but she recently visited Chicago earlier this month to promote her collection. During her visit to the Windy City, she was interviewed by Second City Style. You can read more about this talented Italian shoe designer here.

Here are a few of Via Spiga’s Fall 2009 Designs…

Via Spiga V-Sorina Dress Shoe A chic and tailored suede pump with a strap and buckle across the instep.

Via Spiga Daria Peep toe platform Mary Jane style pump with perforated, contrasting trim.   Shown here in brown, also available in black.

Via Spiga Pansy- Stone/Black Suede Suede pump with ornamental buttons and suede covered heel.  Also available in black suede.

Via Spiga – Oasis These adorable suede flats feature lizard-embosed accents and come in dark olive, plum, or luggage suede leather.

Via Spiga V-Linden Bootie I love the sleek lines and classic silhouette on this ankle bootie. Available in black or brown smooth leather or wine suede leather.

Via Spiga Suri chic fold over suede bootie. Shown here in dark olive; also available in stone, dark plum, or black suede.

Via Spiga – Elise Gorgeous suede ankle bootie. Shown here in luggage suede, also available in plum and black suede.

Via Spiga Nevin Sleek and sophisticated knee high platform boots in black suede or calf leather.

I’m quite impressed with this collection from Via Spiga. It’s feminine and sophisticated, yet it also has a playful and carefree style as well. I could easily have and wear all of these designs with my current Fall wardrobe. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Venturi’s designs, soon to be unveiled, in her Spring 2010 collection.

I LOVE Donald J Pliner shoes and I especially love the Fall 2009 Collection.   Donald J Pliner shoes are made with comfort in mind and the designs are absolutely amazing!   My favorite shoes to wear from my entire collection happen to be Donald J Pliner designs.   They are so well-crafted, they fit perfectly, and the designs never seem to go out of style.   They are truly a staple in my closet.

Here are some of my favorite designs from the Fall 2009 Collection.

The Donald J Pliner Dara is a sleek and sexy ankle boot.  It features elastic straps that criss cross over the instep of the boot which allows flexibility and comfort.

These lovely Donald J Pliner Berri Pumps are beautifully detailed hand-stitching, a metal toe rand, and an architectural heel.  The Berri Pump has exciting textures and comes in some great colors for Fall!

The Donald J Pliner Zandra Open-Toe Bootie (left) has softly gathered suede leather draping across the foot and an elastic gored side buckle make this the open toe bootie of the season.   The Zasha Bootie (right) has asymetrical folds that accentuate the smooth lines.  The open toe and antique metallic leather make this footwear a great option for both dressy and casual outfits.

The Donald J Pliner Cara is such a sexy shoe.  It features a bold heel and platform making it a must have style this Fall. Available in smooth leather or python printed patent leather.

Okay, I’ve saved my favorite for last!  I just can’t get enough of this lace up boot.  The Donald J Pliner Daria Boot has gorgeous blue denim leather and a platform tractor bottom.  This tall boot is hot, hot, hot!

Headquartered in New York City, all Donald J Pliner Shoes are made in Spain or Italy with the finest leathers.   He has also successfully pioneered the use of other materials, such as uppers made wholly or in part with stretchable microfiber.   If you want a shoe that has great comfort, excellent craftsmanship, and luxurious styles, then you really should invest in Donald J Pliner Shoes. You won’t regret it! Click here to view more Donald J Pliner designs.

        

I love this color combination in the Cuddly Pump by Charles David shoes.   The grey fabric upper and blue patent wrapped heel and toe contrast nicely while the ruffled accent on the vamp adds an element of sophisticated charm.   The grey fabric also has blue contrast stitching which is subtle but just one more element to make this shoe all the more intriguing.

This is just one of the great designs from Charles David Shoes.   The Fall Collection is lovely and I could easily stock my shoe closet with only Charles David Shoes!   Click here to see other great styles by Charles David shoes.

        

Naughty Monkey shoe designs are fun and spontaneous.   Always coming out with fresh new and innovative styles, Naughty Monkey shoes will add flair to any outfit. I just came across the Hands Down Pump.   You really must check out the video on Heels.com of these shoes being modeled as the picture below does not show how sexy they really are!

The leather upper is an asymmetrical mix of soft brown smooth leather and black shiny patent leather that has a subtle red shimmer.  The  Hands Down Pump also features a 4 inch covered block heel with ½ inch hidden platform, square toe, strap and buckle accent at the vamp, and stud details.   Also available in black and white.
