There are quite a few shoe lines that are making some great styles that are in line with Fall 2009 trends and that will not blow your shoe budget!   Ones that immediately come to mind, of course, are Steve Madden, Charles by Charles David, and Nine West shoes.   Another, lesser-known brand is Type Z shoes.

Lately, I’ve been quite impressed with the fresh new styles by Type Z shoes.    Check out these pretty pumps by Type Z shoes that are available at Zappos.

Type Z Lueannie Pump feature smoot and croco print leather with stacked heel and adjustable strap across the instep.  Show here in green leather, also available in white.

Type Z Wicked Pump features hidden platform with snubbed toe box and leather-covered heel.  Shown here in navy, also available in red leather, black leather, or black satin.

Type Z -I Said So Pump has classic lines and features a hidden platform and leather covered heel.  Shown here in red patent leather, also available in brown leather, black leather, and navy patent leather.

My favorite style is the Lueannie Pump. This is a great day to evening shoe that will go with just about anything.   Which Type Z style is your favorite? Click here to check out other Type Z styles at Zappos.
 

It’s yet another great collection by London-based shoe designer, Rupert Sanderson.    Just take in these beauties from the Autumn/Winter 2009-10 collection.

Most notable are the perfectly balanced heels on the Seleste pumps (above). This is quite an engineering feat (no pun intended), don’t you think?  Also available in black and grey suede.

I’ve had my eye on these beauties since I first spotted them about a month ago.  The Perfume pump features blue python print with buckles across the instep and a sexy peep toe.

Here is the perfect pop of color for standing out in the crowd and getting noticed.   The Aspasia heel has a sleek design with hidden platform and fuchsia leopard print patent leather.

This has to be the most perfect ankle boot that I’ve seen so far this season!   The Jocasta ankle boot has beautiful and simple lines with a single buckle at the ankle.  What a gorgeous boot!

Rupert Sanderson Shoes can be ordered directly from his website.   Check out the rest of his collection.   You won’t regret it!

They don’t just make watches and handbags.   The Texas-based company, Fossil, has a new womens’ shoe line out this Fall.   The designs are vintage-inspired with a modern twist.   Here are a couple of the new styles just in at Piperlime.

These are not your ordinary pumps. The Fossil Allison Peep Toe Pump has a sculptural platform and wooden heel that’s beautifully wrapped in rich full grain leather.   Available in grey suede leather (pictured above) or in black (with brown wrapped heel) or brown (with camel wrapped heel) in smooth leather.

The Fossil Misha Maryjane Pump is a modern update to an authentic vintage style. The contrasting buckle and just-right heel make it a great style for everyday wear.  Available in black (shown above) or brown.

I know it’s only August, but the dog days of Summer are numbered (at least here in the Pacific Northwest!) and cool September evenings will be upon us before we know it!   Sure, there’s still time to enjoy your well-worn, favorite sandals and show off your pedicure.  But, with so many great shoe sales going on and fairly good size availability, now is a great time to think about shoes that will transition from Summer to Fall while keeping your feet comfortably warm as cooler weather arrives.

There are a lot of styles that are suitable for making this transition, but t-straps are my favorite style to wear this time of year.  The t-strap designs give the appearance of lengthening the leg and are very versatile.  They can be worn with anything from dresses and skirts to pants and leggings.  T-strap pumps with open toes look fantastic with opaque tights.  Try pairing opaque tights with patent leather pumps for a polished look that will easily take you from daytime to evening.

Here are a few t-strap pumps to consider.

Pour La Victoire Claudette Pump Available in tortoise or emerald patent leather.

Butter Betty T-Strap Pump Available in black, nude, or cognac suede/smooth leather.

Coclico Odalisk Pump Available in black or gray leather.

Mike & Chris Irwin Waxy Calfskin T-Strap Pump Available in latte or concrete leather.

farylrobin Venus Covered Platform Pump With Tie Closure

As you can see, t-strap pumps can be chunky like the Faryl Robin Venus pumps or they can be sleeker in design like the Pour La Victoire Claudette. Either way, t-strap designs generally give good coverage to keep your feet warm on chilly evenings or whenever that cold North Wind blows!
