New Balance Offers Its First Custom Athletic Shoe, the US574

by

New Balance just launched its first ever custom offering, the US574, the classic running shoe that has been around for decades. The shoes will made at the company’s Norridgewock, Maine manufacturing facility, and arrive within one-two weeks of purchasing at its website, www.shopnewbalance.com. The brand is the only athletic shoe company currently manufacturing its products in the US, which is another reason to check out the new option. Compliments of the brand, I made a pair for my Dad, (seen below) in grey, black, and green, with his initials on the heels. I also have a pair that I recently bought of the 574s in all grey – LOVE them!

Retailing for $114.95, these kicks are a great personal, stylish way to rock a new pair of NBs.

Top 10 Gifts For Mom (LollieShopping Guest Post)

Mother's Day Stud Earrings Gift

She’ll Love These Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gifts

Celebrating your Mom is easy with this guide to Mother’s Day gift ideas. Whether your mom’s style is classic, vintage, or modern, the gift of jewelry will be a memorable one. The following list has 10 ideas for thoughtful gifts she’ll know came from the heart.

  1. For a Mom with an eye for style, consider a pair of designer diamond stud earrings. Created in unique shapes, a pair of designer studs will add sophisticated style to any attire and are the perfect accessory for any lifestyle.
  2. For a Mom who likes easy elegance, a matching diamond and gemstone three stone pendant is a nice choice! It’s an accessory she’ll wear close to her heart. A pendant necklace is something she’ll adore wearing with many outfits because it’s easy to wear and coordinates with almost anything.
  3. Up to date, trendy Moms will love a pair of inside out diamond hoop earrings. Diamonds not only line the front of the hoop, but this modern style also has diamonds on the front inside of the hoop. Not your everyday earrings, she will appreciate a pair of these to wear with her favorite dresses.
  4. A piece of vintage inspired jewelry does not need to look ‘old’, in fact many modern vintage jewelry designs are constructed better than they were in the past. A modern vintage item such as a vintage style tennis bracelet will last for many years down the road. Ornate details like milgrain edging or filigree details further enhance the metal setting.
  5. Classic Moms whose style could rival Audrey Hepburn’s or Elizabeth Taylor’s, would appreciate a classic four prong diamond tennis bracelet. Simple, yet extremely elegant these bracelets feature a row of diamonds that appear flawlessly on the wrist. She’ll have fun mixing these classic pieces in with her tailored suits and button downs.
