Fit Review: Go Cityfarer Anorak

by Cristina November 19, 2015
written by Cristina

It is really annoying that the &Go Cityfarer Anorak is priced as absurdly as it is because I really liked it a lot. For a long time I was obsessed with getting the similar Urbanite Blazer off the resale market and I finally managed to get one at a decent price but it looks terrible on me. This jacket has similar styling but is way more wearable for my body type. 

I think it should have been priced at $168, maybe even $178. I grabbed my TTS 10 to try on and I sort of wish I’d also grabbed a size 8 just to see. It’s a very roomy TTS but I think you need that roominess for the right drape and fit and for layering. The size down would have probably looked nice too but then layering would have been tricky and you wouldn’t get that dramatic peplum/cinched in waist look. This jacket is water resistant, not water proof, and it is lined in nice soft coolmax. It’s not at all a substantial jacket but it is also not flimsy.  I’m surprised that this jacket is being released in winter because it is really more of a spring weight jacket in weight and in styling.  The outer Glyde isn’t the same glyde used in the Down For A Run line. This glyde is a soft-shell so thicker and it has a matte sheen to it that makes it a bit ‘fancy’. I think I’ve seen this material used in the mens line before but never the woman’s line. 

All in all, I really liked this jacket a lot but I hate the pricing on it. I’m going to keep it on my radar and really hope it gets marked down for Boxing Day or Black Friday. I think what I liked so much about it is that it reminded me a lot of the Barbour Jacket I tried on at J Crew last year, fell in love with but left behind due to price. 

&Go Cityfarer Anorak

you can cinch the waist on the inside. Here it is mostly uncinched which gives it a bit of a boxier fit.

Heathered (Black) Sapphire Blue Swiftly Tech LS

by Cristina November 19, 2015
written by Cristina

There was a glitch with ordering on Tuesday with the Sapphire Blue Swiftly Tech LS and the image toggling between the correct swiftly color and an older version of this color. If you ordered this swiftly but then panicked thinking you may be getting the wrong one, rest assured, the orders are starting to arrive at their destinations and they are correct so far. If you ordered this swiftly on Tuesday, this should be the one you receive.

Lululemon’s Black Friday 2015 Limited Edition Prices: Pace Tight *Reflective, Speed Tight IV* Reflective Race With Grace 1/2 Zip

by Cristina November 19, 2015
written by Cristina

These limited edition items are definitely out of my price range but I think it falls in line with other brands that are fully reflective so I can’t scoff too terribly much about it. I am scoffing a little though. I can see this being a great ‘luxury’ Christmas present for the serious runner in your life, not necessarily something somebody would purchase for themselves but something someone would buy as a really nice gift. If you have a nanny or a grandparent that babysits for you and they are into running, buy them this. They deserve it.

Heathered Fuel Green Scuba Hoodie III

I love this scuba. I definitely think I need it in Fuel Green. 

Enhearten Tank

Runderful 1/2 Zip

Ugh. I’m so torn. On one hand I love the color, the material, the contrasted hem. On the other hand I hate the design of the neck on this. 

Rain For Daze Jacket

This is really pretty. Intriguing. 

Radiant Jacket

My store had this the other day. Read my fit review here. I really like this jacket a lot and found it very flattering.

Upload!!!

I am very happy that I got the black grape Base Runner Pants today and am so happy I found them in store so that I don’t have to wait for them to be delivered. I’ve been living in my black base runners and these are even more soft than the black ones. Now I’m just waiting for the Black Grape Runderful pants to make it to Canada. When the upload first popped up on the Canadian app, I was able to order the Heathered Sapphire Swiftly LS but now when you click on it it takes you to the other Sapphire swiftly so I’m not sure the one I thought I ordered was even available or if that order will complete, or if they will send me the wrong one. The &Go Cityfarer Anorak is very pretty but I hate the pricing on it. It’s ridiculous that a none waterproof jacket like that would be over $200. Did you order anything tonight?

I’m not sure what’s up with this Sapphire Swiftly LS. I ordered the dark sapphire one on my iPhone app but on my computer when I click on the thumbnail it takes me to the other sapphire swiftly ls. It’s a mystery which one I’m actually going to get.

Product Drop Monday Store Report: Peace Of Mind Wrap, Radiant Jacket, It’s A Cinch LS Tee

by Cristina November 16, 2015
written by Cristina

Peace Of Mind Wrap TTS 10

The Peace Of Mind Wrap was a little tempting since it was a very soft, loose fitting wrap in pretty colors (black, this black grape one and a speckled grey/black one) but I ultimately left it behind because I thought it looked a little bit like a warlock hooded cape. It only has one button up at the neckline to fasten it together and then it is pretty plane in the front area since there are no pockets or design details other than the hood. Left hanging open the jacket doesn’t look super stylish. There is an inner draw string you can cinch up to pull the back in narrower but the front of the wrap still looks the same. It’s a pretty generous TTS and butt covering length. 

Radiant Jacket TTS 10

I was surprised and really fell in love with this Radiant Jacket. It’s a thinner cotton fleece than a Scuba Hoodie, but it’s also very densely knit so I think it is warm for how thin it is and will layer really well under jackets.  It is very structured cotton too so it doesn’t bag out or slouch. I loved the design details on this around the hips and waist and how long it was. Sadly it only comes in this Heathered White (loved) and a light heathered grey. 

It’s A Cinch LS Tee TTS 10

This was a surprise. I really liked this It’s A Cinch Top and wasn’t actually bothered at all by the neckline thanks to the slouchy soft nature of this cotton modal fabric. And I hate funnel necks and turtle necks! As I’ve said before, I have a few tops made out of this material I’ve collected over the years and I really love them. I sleep in them, wear them out, wear them to the gym. They wash well and I even throw them in the dryer. This top is a very relaxed TTS and longer than I expected it to be. It was almost fully butt covering on me. I also found it a bit loose in the bust and armpit area which made it look slightly boxy on me. I think if this goes on markdown I will get one but I didn’t feel like the pricing on this was right at $98, and I wish there had been new fresher colors.
