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.

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.

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.
