Although we are barely through the fall season, and winter has yet to start, the resort 2015 collections have started to hit store shelves. This gives us a sneak peek into what to expect for the spring 2015 season. 

The resort season, also referred to as “cruise,” was originally conceived to give people a chance to buy weather appropriate clothing for their exotic vacations to warm locations during the cold, dreary winter season. Over time, resort has become a glimpse into what the spring collections will bring; as well as a way to shop early for the upcoming warm weather season.

What trends should you look for in resort 2015? There are a few select trends this resort 2015 season which are fabulous investments for spring and summer 2015.

All-white: White on white on white is hot for resort 2015. Spice it up with gold, silver and rose gold accessories mixed together.

Prints: As always, look for large floral prints. Also look for bi-color prints and any print which tickles your fancy!

Colors: Look for shades of grey, blue, orange and red.

If you are looking for just one piece of resort to jump-start your spring shopping, invest in a pair of white shoes or a white handbag. White shoes, or a white handbag, is an easy way to update last years’ spring attire and bring it into 2015.

Of course, if you are one of the lucky few going someplace exotic and fabulous for the resort season, then you have some shopping to do! Look for easy jumpsuits and white accessories. Do not be afraid to mix gold and silver; and find one, all-white ensemble. Not only will your vacation be absolutely fabulous, you will be too! Love that!

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?
