@happywithmeg FINALLY!!🍀🌴🌱 the meg x lskd line !!!!! I’ve been working on this collection for so long now & it’s finally here. this collection was inspired by all of the things that make me feel the most like myself and most alive- moving my body, being outside in nature, working hard toward my goals, spending time with the people I love, and finding joy in all the little things. but mostly to be present, and remember to not sweat the small stuff… and it’s all small stuff. 🫶 I have always been someone who loves having big goals, but when it comes down to it, some of my favorite moments in life have nothing to do with accomplishing something big. they‘re a long run on a saturday morning, sunsets at the beach, good music, time outside, laughing with people I love, & a delicious coffee ofc. this collection is a reminder of what I’m constantly trying to practice in my own life: work hard, dream big, move your body, get outside, love your people, and most importantly, be here now.🌟 see you sept 22 :)

Transcript

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I created my own running line with my favorite brand. Wait, what? Let's rewind. It all started a few years ago when I started running and began to document my journey on Instagram. I just hit 10 ks followers. I decide to shoot my shot with a brand called LS Kitty. A month goes by and I hear nothing. But then I get this message from their team. I get my first gifting and I'm freaking out. I start religiously wearing LS Kitty. I start going to their events. I wear their clothes on every run. I even run the Boston marathon in LS Kitty. I host tier run clubs. I start doing photo shoots with them and the LS Kitty team becomes my close friends. And I'll never forget this, but they surprise me by putting me on a freaking billboard. And then I I designed my own sweatshirt with them, and I host an event around it. Guys, I even wear an LS Tier sweatshirt to my own engagement party. Then one day, they asked me if I would like to be the first US athlete to create their own collection with them. Are you kidding me? So then after many meetings and sketches, I have my designs tags in my own PR boxes. The pieces start coming better. The samples come in, and I am so excited because they are perfect. The photographer from Australia flies to San Diego. We have two full photo shoot days. The models are my closest friends. I get to see my favorite people wearing the collection that I worse so hard on, but I have to keep it a secret. Then they fly me to Australia to the LSKD headquarters. But first, I get to watch the Sydney marathon while repping my own line. And then I get to spend the rest of the week on the Good Coast with them. Life is crazy, my own collection. So get ready. The Megan LSKD line will be out September 22. I am so excited to share this piece of my heart with you all. It's a reminder to stay present or be here now and to believe in your craziest dreams.
