Happy almost Thanksgiving! I know everyone says this, but really where did the time go!? I can’t believe its the holidays already, so crazy! Hope you all have a wonderful season with your loved ones.
As some of you may know from insta-stories and snapchat, I had the opportunity to go to the New Balance Global Flagship grand opening party in San Francisco a few weeks back. It was an awesome party and I am so excited for this brand to plant its stake in San Francisco.
I was very impressed by the store! Its 3 (huge) stories full of everything you can imagine. The first floor is women’s, men’s is on the second, and athleisure if on the 3rd (I think that’s how it went!) They have a really interesting 3D foot scanner that scans your foot, tells you your shoe size, arch etc to help guide you with your purchase. I actually found out that my left foot is 1 whole size larger then my right?! Never knew that was a thing! I was SOOO impressed by the clothing! To be honest, I have never really shopped at New Balance in the past (you guys know I’m a HUGE Nike fan). They impressed me!! I loved all of the tops, pants and found quite a few sneaks that are on my list!

I also had the opportunity to meet and chat with Olympic athletes Jenny Simpson and Emma Coburn (both New Balance sponsored athletes)! Jenny and Emma both won the bronze medal in the 2016 Olympics in Rio! And first US athletes to place in their divisions! Obviously there was a lot of running talk going on here! I was so honored to have met such inspiring ladies.
Since I was SO impressed by the apparel at the store, here are a few New Balance goodies that are currently on my list! I am LOVING the burgundy/blue/black color palette and have already picked up a few of these! (I couldn’t resist!). AND the rose gold on the sneaks…love!
