The exclusive to UK shoppers, Central Saint Martins + Lululemon Collaboration is now available for purchase on the UK site at at the new St. Regis flagship store. Unfortunately for those of us in North America that may want any of these pieces, we need to find a Lululemon broker abroad.
Seascape Hues is probably my favourite.
Polychromatic Print
Effervescent Multi Black
Vivid Vision is also quite pretty.
Twisted Tangle
Liquid Platinum
Thanks to reader Ms. L who lives in London, we have some great photos of the grand opening of the London flagship Lululemon on Regent St. This is Lululemon’s largest footprint store.
Regent St. Lululemon Grand Opening
Is this the Warehouse Sale? Well at least Canada finally got some Cool Racerback love. I’m slightly disappointed because I want the solid colors that the US got. Most of these have never ever been released in store so this is really surprising to see uploaded.

Simply Bare Tank, Score Jacquard Black Indian Ocean High Times Pant
Polar Pink Run Times compared to Ultraviolet Free To Be Wild
Yesterday there was a discussion [Here] in the comments section about the similarity between Polar Pink and Ultraviolet and one reader awesomely sent me a color comparison to share with those of you curious. Thanks to Ms. S for the great photo!
Get Ready Jogger, Indian Ocean Swiftly
I purchased this Swiftly and have worn it twice now to both Crossfit and Olympic Lifting. I love it for the color but it does fit quite tight and lacks stretch. I sized up in it to a 12 like I usually do with Swiftlies, but this fits like a tight 10, and it’s especially tight in the inner elbow area and slightly shorter. After wearing it to lifting it has given in that area so I suspect the tightness in this is temporary, but this may be one that bags out on you in places once it’s stretched. It’s also thicker and softish. I’m glad I got it and will wear it a lot but this is note one of the lovelier feeling swiftlies if that’s what you look for when buying swiftlies.
Nothing for me today but I am liking the Blue Denim CRB color. I kind of wish it was Astro Blue. I also like the Rising Salutation Sweater in Astro but I have to go back to the store and try on a size smaller because it’s really big in the tts. I’d also like to check out polar pink in person.
Did you order anything today?
Canada and the US got this!
Hotty Hot Short (Long and Short)
Simply Bare Cropped Long Sleeve
Fast And Free 7/8 Tight Nocturnal Teal
This is a restock in this color. I have it and love them.
Get Ready Jogger, Polar Pink Cool Racerback II, Free To Be Zen Bra
A good closeup photo showing the real life color of Polar Pink.
This lightweight merino wool sweater is an oversized and long TTS. I think this would look really cute with tights for a slouchy casual look – but I definitely feel like I needed to size down in it because of the width of the upper arms and chest.
This was enticing because the rulu of this top is unique to this year. It’s the same rulu that was used in the Hill And Valley Mock Neck Crop Top which was a double layer. It feels really luxurious on! I didn’t love the overall look of this on me, and didn’t love the neck please, but because this is a decent length and fit I am tempted for this on markdown. This is a TTS 10.
Slightly longer in the back with a bit of a curved hem.
This is such a minor gripe but I didn’t like the way the neckline turned into the hood, with excess material.
Cool Racerback II Astro Blue
I really like this color but as you know, I’m no friend of the Cool Racerback II. I’ll have to look up the color name on the foreign sites and update you on what it’s called. – Astro Blue
I just realized that this was a size 12 and not a size 10. That’s ok, I liked this fit. I didn’t love the inner mesh neck as you can see from this first photo. It’s very stretchy but also tight so if you get frustrated like I do by getting your ponytail all messy then you will hate this feature. It’s perfect for cold weather runners though since you can pull it up over your face balaclava style. Brushed luxtreme is a really nice, soft and cozy material without looking especially cozy.
Intended use of the inner mesh neck warmer.
Sorry, I didn’t realize this photo was blurry at the time or I would have retaken it. You can see the inner neck warmer is attached. I would probably cut this piece out since it’s not useful for me and it’s more of a nuisance. If you use this for running outdoors it’s a great feature though.

Get Ready Jacket
I didn’t love this jacket but I don’t really have a good reason for it. It just seemed like a boring swift jacket without any special features or design. If you are looking for a basic black jacket without much weather function, this may suit you. This was my TTS 10.
If you are a fan of the Embrace The Space items made out of the super stretchy spacer fabric, the Embrace The Space Pants have been restocked and brought in in another color. The new color is I think Hero Blue, although it could have been inkwell. I’m wearing my pair of Embrace The Space Pants here in these photos and I’ve really loved them this winter. The Embrace The Space Crew Neck also comes in white, and possibly blue. I initially hated this spacer fabric because it gives a really odd shape in the upper body but the material is so fricken soft and delightful and light that at some point I’ll probably get this crew neck to add to my collection. Hopefully on sale when I do. It’s pretty plain, but it’s utility and cozy factor makes up for it.
This get ready jogger is a pair with the Get Ready Jacket. If you like slim cut, cuffed track pants you will like these. I believe these where unlined so you can easily layer them over leggings or shorts. I have a pair of lined track pants from several years ago, and my Base Runner Pants, and these Embrace The Space Pants so I really don’t need another cuffed sweat pant style in my closet. If you are in the market though, these aren’t bad.
Are any of you doing the Strava Challenge? I’ve read that the first distance marker of 40KM gets you a swiftly ls, and if you reach 80km you get a swiftly ls and a pair of speed shorts. I’m not doing the challenge because I need to prioritize my fitness time to crossfit and olympic lifting, plus I’m doing the Whole 30 and experiencing some major carb flu. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t do it anyways though because 40km seems really expensive for a swiftly. I have a friend that does this awesome fitness jar and she puts in a certain amount of money each time she works out ($1 maybe) and at the end of the year she has $200-$300 to spend on a fun splurge. Thats more my kind of challenge. I don’t love that Lululemon gets to buy a ton of your private data with this challenge.
