Active + Globe Take Palm Springs
This March Active will introduce Globe Apparel in select stores and online. To celebrate this launch, Globe took a group from Active out to the ACE Hotel in Palm Springs for 24 hours of awesomeness in the desert. The stay kicked off with a poolside reception and brand presentation, followed by dinner at the popular Las Casuelas in downtown Palm Springs, and late night drinks back at the Amigo Room.

I don’t think anyone is as excited for spring as I am! There are so many things to look forward to… spring break, sunshine, music festivals, road trips, etc. With Spring and all of its perks comes new trends in fashion- colors, prints, fabrics, etc. Pastels such as mint and coral are going to be the go to colors of the season. Prints such as camo, florals, and stripes are going to be HOT. Fabrics that are light weight for example, knits, chiffon, and lace are going to be easy to wear during the transition between winter and spring. NOW is the time to shop for all of your favorite spring trends. You can find them at an Active location near you!
