In case you haven’t yet seen these in stores, several of this Fall’s resort collections have start to turn up at our favorite online shopping sites. Today’s focus is the Prada 2009 Resort Collection.

For more conservative ladies,  a number of these 2009 Resort styles are simple, feminine, classic, and stylish. The low demi-wedge sandals are a nice change from recent trends toward higher and more precarious styles. If you happen to prefer the higher heel, the ombre nude Maryjane pumps have a slim yet solid heel that will allow you to indulge in the trend of  higher styles without sacrificing too much in walking stability (~a la stilettos).

Of course,  the folks over at Prada have not forgotten to include styles with a bit of bling in this collection (in apparent consideration of the many ladies who simply never stopped loving the idea of playing dress-up with their fashion). And, with the holidays just around the corner, I’m sure there are many gals out there who will find plenty of opportunities to let these lovelies shine - as they are quite obviously meant to do.

As for me, do I have a favorite? Well, while I am wholeheartedly loving the art-deco 1940’s appeal of the last 2 jewelled T-straps, I actually find myself more torn between the demi-wedge T-strap and the basic-yet oh, so sexy, jewelled slides.

How about you, which style do you find most appealing?
