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.

I recently came across this lovely shoe collection by Lilita Leather Collection on Shoebuy.   The Lilita Leather Collection is a new brand founded by 2 Venezualan sisters, Carolina and Franzia Lopez.   Their goal is to “develop into a loved, adored, and desired brand, so that customers will search for styles from the Lilita Collection.” [LilitaShoes].  So far, from what I’ve seen of their collection, they should have no problem accomplishing this goal!

The brand offers a variety of styles including flats, wedges, pumps and boots, all of which are very reasonably priced between $100-120.   Here are a few of the Fall designs that are available now at Shoebuy….

Lilita Bella Suede Pump features a hidden platorm, peep-toe, metal hardware accents, and ankle strap with adjustable buckle.

Lilita Diane Croc Print Leather Ankle Boot features a hidden platform, buckle detail, and side zipper.

Lilita Lily Patent Leather Pump features contrasting colors at the heel. Available in olive patent/brown, burgundy/turquoise, and black/pink.

I’ve only been able to find Lilita shoes online at Shoebuy, but you can see their entire Fall 2009 Collection at LilitaShoes.com.   Check it out!   You will not be disappointed.

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.

I’ve noticed that many of the new Fall shoes are adorned with bows, ruffles, and flowers, making them, oh so feminine!   So, when I came across these lovely peep toe pumps by Kate Spade, they really got my attention.

I adore the feminine detailing on this shoe and there are no bows or ruffles to speak of.   Don’t misunderstand; I love those adornments as much as the next girl, but they are everywhere! Here’s something a little different to get your attention.   Pretty scalloped and perforated edges line the toe and heel.   It’s a subtle feminine detail without the ornamentation of bows and such.   The mix of black smooth leather and caramel suede leather also adds interesting texture and depth.   It is finished off by a sexy peep toe with hidden platform and high heel.   These 2 tone pumps will dress up your work wardrobe and take you from day to evening in classic style.

Kate Spade shoes are a bit of an investment but, if you are able to splurge on these, the quality and the versatility of this shoe means it will last a long time and you will be able to wear it often.    The Kate Spade Gladly Pump is available at Zappos.    If you prefer this shoe without the suede, Endless also carries it in black/camel with all smooth leather upper.
