Winter 2015 is fast approaching; this means it is time to think about sweaters! I love sweaters in the cold winter months. They are cozy, soft and comfortable. But, just because they can be softer than a baby blanket, does not mean we have to sacrifice style to be comfy, cozy and warm!

Thankfully, for winter 2015, designers have created beautiful and sassy sweater styles to keep us warm, cozy and fabulous! Love that! There are four distinct trends in sweaters for the winter 2015 season for us to watch for, and wear; waterfall sweaters, ponchos, chunky turtlenecks and embellished pull-overs. While waterfall cardigans and ponchos tend to be casual, turtlenecks and embellished pull-overs can easily be worn casually with jeans, or spiced up with leather leggings for a night out on the <freezing!> town.

My favorite sweater trend for the winter 2015 season is the waterfall sweater. I love how waterfall sweaters drape, and they are not too warm; which is ideal for our moderate winter weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Of course, I do not spend my entire winter season basking in the 60 degree weather of the Bay Area; which I can be found whining about because to me it is cooooold! So, for trips to Tahoe or other cold weather places, I love chunky turtlenecks.

Which sweater styles and trends are your favorite for this upcoming cold weather season?

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!

I found a few amazing resort 2015 pieces from around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below, enjoy! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Jackets for fall 2014 and winter 2015 are offering a wide range of styles. The moto jacket trend from last year is still going strong; and we are also seeing an uptick in the waterfall jacket trend which has been popular for the past few seasons. In addition to the moto jacket and waterfall jacket, traditional puffer jackets, tailored blazers and waisted windbreakers are also du rigueur for the fall 2014 and winter 2015 seasons. 

One of the great things about jackets this fall/winter 2014/2015 season is that the styles are timeless. There is a good chance we all have a moto jacket in our closets as well as a blazer, puffer jacket, windbreaker or waterfall jacket. This makes finding a jacket for the fall/winter 2014/2015 season an easy and inexpensive task since most of us will be able to shop our closets! Love that!

In addition to classic moto jacket styles, this motorcycle inspired jacket style has taken on new life for the fall/winter 2014/2015 season. Moto jackets are being shown in more than leather and faux-leather styles for this cool weather season. Designers have used fabrications including tweed, wool, polyester and more to add texture and dimension to the traditional moto jacket silhouette. If black leather or faux-leather isn’t your thing ,look for a moto jacket this season in pastel pink, a bright color or neutral hue made from wool, satin, sequins and more!

If you are shopping for a waterfall jacket this fall 2014 or winter 2015 season, look for one in grey, pale pink or any shade of blue. Waterfall jackets tend to be lighter weight than other styles of jackets and they are going to continue to be a big trend in jackets as we move into resort and spring 2015. By purchasing one now in a spring color such as pale pink, grey, or blue, you will save money in the long run and get a lot of wear out of your waterfall jacket. Love that!

I love moto jackets and waterfall jackets this season. What is your favorite style of jacket for fall 2014 and winter 2015?
