City Bound Dress TTS 10
I really get this dress. It was designed for a very near post Trump dystopian future in which space travel migration to mars is the only alternative.
In all fairness, the only thing I found truly terrible about this dress was the neckline and how the material did not drape, it just held its shape like an odd funnel neck that also disappeared my DD’s. Actually, I also didn’t like the drop waist seam on me. This dress was all sorts of weird odd proportions and material movement that will really only work on those women in which everything looks amazing on.
I love the idea of a sweater dress made out of sweatshirt material but this spacer fabric doesn’t drape elegantly, it creates a new shape for you. I’m not down with that. I like having a humanoid feminine shape.
Yes Fleece Pullover TTS 10
This pullover was ‘ok’ but nothing special for me. The sides unzip so you can have a looser fit. The length is nice to the upper mid hip preventing it from looking too boxy. It’s warm and cozy so if you are in the market for a basic fleece pullover, this one is nice.
Wild And Free Tank size 10
This tank was really pretty! I loved the color which is a vibrant electric blue I think is called ‘shocking blue’ which is currently on the US side. The seriously light luxtreme actually felt a bit like thin RULU. I think I’d size up in this tank to a 12 because the material is so thin and slinky that it really hugs every lump which you can see in the photo below, but staying TTS is fine too. The v neck is quite nice in this though and I like this tank 1000x more than the Cool Racerback II so I’m considering this for a future purchase.
FYI, the Lululemon ebate of 2% cash back went up to 6% today! I hope that sticks around for next upload.
My Alo Airbrushed High Waist Capris/Glossy Black arrived! I love them! The high waist is just like Lululemon high waist Wunder Under Crops but the glossy black finish on these are very edgy and look like faux leather without being too shinny. I love that these feel like soft breathable luon but suck you in and smooth you out.

A reader was requesting a photo of the Rush Hour Jacket I got the other day. I love this jacket and have decided to keep it over the Lakeside Blue Define Jacket for now, although I may just keep both if I can swing it. I find this jacket warm and really cozy and soft. Most people have sized up in this jacket for a less fitted look and I wish I had as well but I’m sticking with the one I ordered since it it’s really fine in this size, I just wish I had the added length of the size up. It’s also sold out online and never made it to any stores in this color for some strange reason.

I’m a bit obsessed with this combination of colors.

I’ve been hearing about a new consignment website called ThredUp in the Lululemon groups, mostly people inquiring wether or not it’s a good place to sell Lululemon. I haven’t researched the consigning end of a transaction on Thredup yet but I believe they send you a box where you can ship them your items, and you can also check online to see what similar items are being consigned for and what you can expect. I think this method works really well for those lululemon items that are valued at under $20 in the resale market and are not really worth your time listing individually on eBay.
This past summer, a rep from Thredup contacted me and asked me if I’d like to get a credit of $30 with them in order to make a purchase, and then if I’m happy with my purchase I could tell you guys about it. The reach out to me was because they have a pretty nice selection of Lululemon items as well as other activewear brands which they where wanting to promote to our community so it was a good fit. Instead of purchasing activewear though I was naughty and decided to make a game of consignment hunting and knock something off my fashion bucket list. I was also naughty for taking my time with this post and spending several months looking for something special. I’ve been needing to replace a pair of nude patent pumps that I damaged so every few days I would look on thredup for a luxury brand version of what I needed, since I’d never normally spend full price on a luxury brand. Valentino, LK Bennet, Manolo Blahnic, Jimmy Choo. I found lots of shoes I really loved for steals but I limited myself to getting something I needed – versatile nude court shoes.
These LK Bennet Sledge pumps I found retail for $345 USD. Guess how much I purchased them for!!….. well, as I mentioned above I had a $30 credit, and there was a summer promotion of 40% off your first $50. They where listed for a very reasonable $71.99 and truth be told, I would have happily paid that price for these shoes. With my $30 credit and 40% off discount my total was $19.18!!!
I picked them up yesterday a bit worried about the sizing and condition. They are a size 40EU and I’m a size 9, (so that would be sizing up to 9.5). The condition was perfect and it appears that they where only tried on once and maybe the person walked around the house. They are incredibly comfortable and the perfect size.
Now, if you want to browse around and do a bit of shopping, [[Sign Up Here]] and get a $10 credit to your account. I will also get a $10 credit for your sign up. Be patient and take your time shopping for exactly the perfect item. They upload products almost daily. I also have a coupon code to extend to you if you make a shoe purchase – SHOESS50, and this code gives you 50% off up to $50.
Right now I’m hunting for an Alo Yoga Moto Track Jacket in red that seems to be sold out everywhere. I’m hoping it will eventually make its way onto thredup where I can snatch it up.
*another thing to note is that ThredUP currently only ships to the US so I had to use my US shipping address and I needed customer service help to override my IP address location.
Lipstick is my biggest makeup category impulse purchase so I have amassed quite a lot of lipsticks in my makeup drawer. I am obsessed with this new line from MAC, the MAC Liptensity Lipstick, which is an intensely pigmented gel formula without a white base and just overall amazing. I’m not going to do lip swatches because I really suck at them and there are tons out there online [This youtube was great!] but I wanted to draw your attention to them and show you my two favourites. Eros, the pink on the left is a cool toned magenta, and Smoked Almond on the right is a browny rose color. Both of these colors are easily wearable for daytime or evening, casual or for work. I love them! These lipsticks are so comfortable to wear that they feel like chapstick, and yet they are super pigmented without looking flat or harsh. I definitely recommend this MAC liptensity Lipstick if you like highly pigmented lipsticks that aren’t flat or matte, and if you like fun exciting colors. Here are my ‘beauty guru’ photographs of both the colors in sunlight. Sorry the bullet isn’t crisp and unused but I had to immediately wear them when I purchased them.

As a prep for tomorrows WMTM upload, I anticipate seeing this markdown on the website and across stores. The Speed Wunder Tights where marked down at my store from $138 to $79 and when I first got there there where all sizes available but by the time I got out of the fitting room there where only two sizes left. Either they sold through or people where trying them on in the fitting rooms or hanging on to them in store.
I strongly considered purchasing these as I love the feel of the fabric and the cut of the Speed Wunder Tight but I was unconvinced I’d wear the print very often and my husband confirmed that they where not spectacular enough. I’d have snatched them up in sold black for sure.
