New Balance’s Lace Up for the Cure Fall Collection is available at New Balance in South Coast Plaza and Cardiff. Every year New Balance donates 15 percent of its wholesale purchases to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

 

KitchenAid has partnered with Villeroy & Boch to introduce a new ceramic serving plate, meant to be passed to friends and family along with a culinary specialty prepared by the giver.

The plates are available at Villeroy & Boch in South Coast Plaza.
