This week I'm visiting my family in NYC while my husband is away in Atlanta for business. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the 14th Street Union Square store moved to a bigger space over on 5th avenue and 17th street. The men's section was much bigger and way more fitting rooms than the old store.
I mainly wanted to try on the Cozy Cuddle Up Jacket in the Bordeaux Drama and Silver Spoon. I tried on the size 2 but the fit was too tight around my hips which made it bunch up on the back by the waist. This is because I'm super short, otherwise on average normal people, the jacket would fall at the waist instead of the hips. The neck hit a little too high for my liking, so I passed up on both. Color wise, I liked the Silver Spoon more. But for $118 I didn't think it was worth the money. I'll wait and see if it hits WMTM. I might get it then.

I'm wearing the Speed Tight IV Rulu and love them! I tried on my regular size 4 and they're soooooo comfortable. I do think I'll try and run with these, since I'm not a long distance runner the material should hold up. They are ridiculously soft. If the other colors go on WMTM, I'm getting them! Now that I have a decent pair of cold running tights, I need to find a running top to go with. So far, I'm having a very hard time finding something that looks flattering on my short torso. I tried on the Runderful 1/2 zip, but didn't like how it looked on me. It is a size 2 so the fit is tight, however I think sizing up to a 4 would have been too big but maybe I should have tried it on. Next time I will! Other than that, the material is also sooooo very soft.

Lastly I've been dying for the Run Speed Shorts in Pigment Wind. The store actually had them! I have to say seeing these in person and trying them on is a must. I wouldn't have bought these online because of the pattern placement. I tried on 2 pairs, and one of them had the dark red color on the crotch area that reminded me of monthlies if you know what I mean!

I went home with the Speed Tights and the Run Speed Shorts. Not bad at all.
