Coach is having a sale on their fall 2014 shoes! Can you believe it?! Not only are they on sale, the prices are amazing! Coach has beautiful booties, flats, sneakers, slip-on sneakers and high heels on sale from their fall 2014 shoe collection. These fabulous shoes are on trend for fall and winter; plus they are current classics which will carry you into resort and spring 2015. Love that!

I bought my first pair of Coach shoes in the 1990’s. They were incredibly well-made for the price. I still remember the strong craftsmanship and soft Coach leather; as well as how comfortable the shoes were on my feet. Back then, I worked in retail management and stood on my feet 40+ hours per week. I remember how my Coach shoes and boots stood up well to the all-day standing and walking which went with the job. My feet never hurt; and the shoes lasted a long time without falling apart. When you work in retail, you learn quickly which brands of shoes are high quality and which ones are not; I learned quickly that Coach shoes are high quality and priced well!

I absolutely adore the booties on sale in Coach’s fall 2014 collection. They offer an open toe and stacked heel; perfectly on trend for the fall 2014 season. I also love the slip-on sneakers which are on sale. They are perfect for daily wear and offer just a little edge with studs. I have my eyes on the flats. Coach has a beautiful collection of classic flats which are on sale from their fall 2014 line. I love the silver, which will carry through fall, winter, resort and spring!

There is also a large selection of fashionable sneakers on sale from Coach. These are great for casual days when you want to keep your running shoes in your gym bag. 😉 Which shoes from the Coach shoe sale are catching your eye?

Classic designer shoes

When it comes to designer shoes, there are a few recent classic styles which every Fashionista believes should be inside of her closet. These classic shoes may not have been around ten, or twenty years ago, but they have found recent fame and turned into timeless shoes; which are proving they can survive season after season.

Valentino Rockstuds enjoyed a high point in 2013 when almost every fashionable lady on the street had a pair on her feet. Now, the Valentino RockStud has become a classic shoe despite the downturn in the studded trend in 2014. What has made Valentino Rockstuds one of the most coveted high heels on the market is that they have a classic, pointed toe pump silhouette with just the right amount of edgy studs. The style is coupled with the fact that Valentino RockStuds are extremely comfortable! Comfort combined with style has equated to a popular and highly sought-after shoe which almost every woman wants in her shoe closet. The most popular colors of Valentino’s RockStuds are the black and nude hues.

Chloe flats have been a popular go-to flat for several years. The scalloped edges have raised the bar on the classic ballet flat. To top it off, Chloe uses some of the softest leather known to mankind which creates a comfortable and beautiful shoe. Although neutral hues and black are the most popular colors for Chloe flats, seasonal colors and texture variations are also highly sought-after.

Motorcycle boots have been popular for many season now, but one of the stand-out pairs has been designed by Jimmy Choo. These comfortable and edgy-yet-sophisticated moto boots are popular in classic black; but seasonal color such as navy suede are also highly coveted.

Christian Louboutin’s Pigalle Pump is arguably the most sought-after pair of shoes on the planet. These classic, pointed toe high heels are coveted in classic black and nude; season after season. 

When it comes to classic, designer shoes, I feel like the high price is worth every penny. If a shoe is considered timeless, it can be worn season after season, year after year; which means always having the perfect pair of black flats or nude pumps in the closet. Instead of purchasing new pumps or flats every season, an investment pair of classic designer shoes can be re-worn every season; ultimately saving money in the long run. Love that!

I have the Chloe flats on my wish list as my next shoe investment purchase. What do you think of these four classic designer shoes? Do you have a pair on your wish list?

Ever Ivy is a fabulous brand designed by San Francisco Bay Area designer Liliana Ventura and made right here in California. I love how the pieces take inspiration from our culturally diverse and politically complicated landscape. The day-into-evening collection features neutrals and prints made from soft fabrics; which are not only nice to the touch, but incredibly comfortable!

I absolutely love the Audrey Dress by Ever Ivy worn in the photos above. There is a “1960’s meets modern day vibe” to the dress which makes it easy to wear with current accessories. This dress is perfect for a date night with my husband, or a girls night out! When the weather cools down as we move towards winter, the Audrey Dress by Ever Ivy will look amazing paired with tights and lug soled high heels. I’m looking forward to wearing it in different ways according to the occasion and weather!
