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?

Choix beauty box

Have you ever wanted to try out make-up on your face and not worry about how many people tried it before you at the store? I have. Nothing is more disgusting than using the samples at the store which are slightly smashed and look like ten thousand people touched them. No thank you!

Choix is an amazing concept. With Choix, you get try out your very own samples of beauty products at home; without other people’s germs! Love that! The samples arrive in a cute little box and are labeled so you know which product is which. You can test out the samples on your face, and use them more than once; until they run out! This is the perfect way to try before you buy. Not only can you test out how a color will look on you, you can see how long lasting the product is and how it reacts on your skin. How fabulous is that!!!

Here is how Choix works: for as low as $15 per month, you receive a sample box and store credit towards the purchase of a full size beauty product. You can select samples from fabulous luxury beauty brands such as Chanel, YSL and more! When you receive your monthly box in the mail, you can test out the products on your face; no germs! Then, you can order full-size products if you loved one or more of the samples you received. You will have a store credit from your subscription which can go towards the cost of the full size product. Love that!

I am a huge fan of Chanel and YSL. My Choix beauty box also contained eye shadow by Bobbi Brown and Dior. I had never tried Dior or Bobbi Brown before, so this was a treat to be able to test out new brands! I loved how the Dior eye shadow stayed on; it was very long lasting! Bobbi Brown was nice too. The color was natural and perfect for daily wear. I may very well need to buy a full size of all three eye shadows in my Choix beauty box!

One more cool fact about Choix, they are based right here in San Francisco! Three cheers for a tech start-up which is revolutionizing the beauty industry!

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?
