Like every Fall in the past, suede is in. I saw lots of suede dresses, pants, handbags etc on the Fall 2009 runways. Mix it up a bit and go beyond your basic black suede and instead opt for rich colors like aubergine, burgundy, browns, and deep purples. Gray will still be a hot color again this Fall too. And purple is definitely one of the hottest colors for Fall 2009 and this rich color looks fabulous on suede pumps and boots.

Comfort is trรจs chic this Fall. Look for low and mid heel shoes with sturdy heels and wedges. Finally a trend that all you busy moms can jump on board with! Eye catching details like buckles, patent trim, studs, ruffles and buttons will add interest and style to any shoe. I like the Softspots Paxton in particular because of the comfy wedge heel, smart looking patent trim, and the rich aubergine color. Those lovely slip-ons also come in dark purple
and a rich chocolaty brown
