lululemon speed up shorts, Prada Bag Dupe, Tie-Dye Crewneck Sweater – Product Drops
lululemon speed up shorts, lululemon tie-dye sweaters, new lululemon legging colors and more!
Hey Gang! New lululemon product drops this week! Lots of new shorts. The lululemon speed up shorts are out in new spring patterns! Hot off the presses! A new Prada Bag Dupe launched. Colorful new lululemon tie-dye crewneck sweater also launched today.
lululemon has a new collection of tie-dye sweatshirts that’s so good. I ordered both. There are several new pairs of lululemon leggings today, with a comeback color. Grey Sage is back!
I’m really surprised the Strawberry Milkshake Scuba didn’t drop today. What’s going on with that?
My order so far: lululemon tie-dye crewneck sweater, Prada Bag Dupe
What did I get this week you ask? both of the new lululemon tie-dye crewneck sweater of course. They are beautiful! Especially the pink one. And of course I ordered that perfect Prada bag dupe from lululemon. This lululemon purse looks just like the Prada Re-Edition 2005 Nylon Bag. I love that it’s super similar, but it’s not trying to be Prada and it’s not a ‘replica bag’. I’d call it a riff.

Guide To Shopping at lululemon: Women’s Zip Up Sweatshirts lululemon classics
With an expansive inventory of lululemon zip up sweatshirts, it can be hard to choose which zip up sweatshirt is right for you. If you have a gift card burning a hole in your pocket and you’ve decided you would love an iconic lululemon hoodie (great choice!), its downright overwhelming. The lululemon scuba hoodie is a good place to start, but there are so many options. Let me help you pick which women’s zip up sweatshirt is right for you.
The Sweat Edit has a new series of lululemon shopping guides to help you. Narrow down styles, get fit advice, compare styles and see the technical features. We’ve broken it down for you in categories to help make shopping easier. This category is all about women’s zip up sweatshirts.
Scuba Hoodie
Pick this one If you want a warm classic hoodie
You might be looking for the warmest lululemon sweatshirt, and this is probably the one to pick. But there is another reason to pick this zip up hoodie from lululemon. The lululemon scuba hoodie is one of their most iconic designs. I often see celebrities in magazines wearing the lululemon scuba hoodie. Here is Jennifer Garner a lululemon Scuba Hoodie. It’s the quintessential lululemon look, with ultra feminine and curve flattering details. Hoodies aren’t normally seen as flattering styles but somehow lululemon figured out how to accentuate the feminine shape in this zip up sweatshirt.
Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie
Pick This One If You Want The Trendiest lululemon Hoodie
The Scuba Oversized half-zip hoodie from lululemon is the most trendy lulu hoodie of the past 2-3 years. I’m not ashamed to share that I have 7. We have tik-tok and lululemon reddit to thank. This is such a great easy-wear hoodie. It’s cropped, but very relaxed-fit and cozy.
RepelShell Classic Fit Hoodie
If You Need A Jacket/Hoodie Hybrid, Choose This Style
With a cozy velvety material on the inside, this stretchy ‘jacket’ feels like your coziest sweatshirt. Which is what makes this the perfect travel sweatshirt. You can wear it on long road trips, or on airplane flights and you don’t even need to pack an extra jacket. The secured zipper pockets are also a great travel feature.
Loungeful Zip Hoodie
A casual, stollen from your boyfriends closet sweatshirt. This is the couch surfing, netflix watching hoodie of your dreams. The perfect fit of roomy and relaxed, without being oversized and sloppy. This is the sweatshirt I lived in when recovering from my nasal surgery recently. A zip-up sweatshirt is a must have after nasal surgery. You want nothing coming on over your head when you get dressed. I’ve also heard the same with post breast augmentation or reduction surgery.
From the trending on TikTok Scuba Oversized Collection. The full zip up sweatshirt was launched last year. This happens to be my favourite version as I love a sweatshirt you can just throw on and off as needed. The 1/2 zip has just one extra step of pulling it on over your head. The balance of cropped length and oversized fit is perfection.
Yet another version of the Scuba Oversized zip up sweatshirt arrived on the scene this year. Popping collars all over Reddit with the Scuba Oversized Funnel Neck Half Zip. Fans of this style love the fact that eliminating the collar eliminates the extra weight of a hooded sweatshirt.
Cashmere knit zip up sweaters had such a moment last year. I’m certain this trend will continue. The most luxurious of all lululemon zip up sweatshirts, cashmere knit zip up sweaters is such a beautiful piece to wear as a set, or with a dressier outfit that also has a laid back vibe. If you want the full set look, lululemon has the most beautiful matching cashmere knit shorts.

Why You Should Solo Hike At Least Once In Your Life
Hiking Alone: Benefits & Safety Tips for Women
Have you ever wanted to go on a hike but had no one to go with? Do you want to do something at your own pace for once but you’re worried about going at it alone? I get that! With a little preparation, you can make your way outdoors and have a great time on your own. Hiking can be one of the best things you do for your mental and physical health. Whether you’re solo hiking or in a group, I’ve got the essential tips that will make your next hiking trip enjoyable
My First Solo Hike Experience
I went on my first solo hike in 2019 when I was visiting family in Boulder, CO. I definitely got caught up in family activities as soon as we landed. The weekend flew by, before long I was checking in for my return flight and I only had one day left in Boulder. I still hadn’t hiked the must-see Mount Sanitas and Sanitas Valley Loop Trail. My family had other plans for the final full day we had, but I wanted to do the trail. I researched the hike on AllTrails and estimated it would take me 2 hours to finish the 3.2 mile route on my own. It seemed a bit challenging but the summit looked well worth the climb. I wanted to do this so I got up early the next morning and hit the road with my backpack and hiking shoes.
I remember feeling so nervous on my drive to the trail. Was I going to go through with this? I could see the headlines already. “Tourist Who Took on Treacherous Trail Airlifted to Hospital”. By the time I made it to the trail I had 100 different scenarios of how things could go wrong. Still, I kept going – I found a great parking space (the BEST sign) and got my gear ready. As I walked to the trailhead, the apprehension hit again. I kept my pepper spray in one hand and with my keys turned out in the other hand, I hit the trail.
The trail was quiet, the sun was high and bright. I soon passed by a few fellow hikers and felt myself relaxing. In the end, it was a very doable trail with a wide path and the day was perfect. The sun was high and bright, people were so kind on the trail and the climb felt so good! I couldn’t have been happier that I had gone on this hike. At the summit with Boulder below me, I thought about how glad I was that I didn’t miss this opportunity.
Are you ready to take on your first solo hike? Here’s why you should try it when you have the chance!
Benefits of Solo Hiking
You know the level of challenge that’s right for you and you’re able to go at your own pace when you’re alone
I LOVE stopping to take in sights and photos. Sometimes, I feel I’m inconveniencing other people and snapping photos, but when I’m alone, my time is my own. I can take my time or if I’m trying to hike for speed, I can do that too! It’s all up to me and I don’t have worry about being too fast or slow for anyone else.
Solo hiking gives you the chance to recharge
Solitude gives you the chance to relax and step away from all your devices. When I solo hike, I’m giving myself space for my thoughts and feelings to take flight. Being in the wilderness can be cathartic, especially for women. It can be such a rewarding experience to have the opportunity to meditate or reflect for miles on a trail.
Solo hiking will help you become better at making decisions on your own
Solo hiking does a lot to increase mental fortitude and independence. I recommend it when you’re feeling at a crossroads in life. The answer may be on the trail!
Tips for Your First Solo Hike
Hiking alone can be so rewarding if you prepare for it. I’ve got some safety tips & gear recommendations for you in this next bit. And whether it’s your first solo hike or 500th, these are great reminders for setting out on the trail! Let’s go over hiking prep together!
Let someone know where you’re going
This is the most important thing. Let someone you trust know where you’re going to be (exact address) and around how long you plan on being out there. Tell them that you’ll check in with them at a certain time post-hike with a follow up, “I’ve returned!” text or call.
Pay attention to your surroundings & be aware of wildlife in the area
I’d recommend picking a trail you’re familiar with that is well-populated and well-marked. If you do want to try a new trail – be sure to do some research on the trail online beforehand. I research all my trails on the Alltrails App/Website before hiking. I also download the offline trail map in case I lose signal out there.
Be sun safe / weather aware
Make sure that you are checking forecasts and hiking around the early morning. Temperatures can rise in the afternoon and nighttime hikes are dangerous without preparation. I’d recommend starting your hike early in the morning and finishing around the afternoon. This will vary depending on the length of the hike but these are good starting points!
Stay hydrated and eat often
Especially when hiking solo, you should bring a little more food and water than you think you’ll need. Standard rule of thumb is .5L of water for every hour you’re going to be out on the trail. I usually add an extra .5L in case.
Trust your gut
If something feels a little off on the hike or you feel anxious during the hike – trust yourself. Sometimes it’s a natural reaction to being alone and you can shake it off. If the feeling sticks, be sure to assess it and turn around if you need to. Always trust your gut and be sure not to take any unnecessary risks out there.
Know your limits. Be sure that you’re not overstraining yourself and take breaks when needed
If you’re new to hiking on your own, be sure to start off with a short trail and work your way to longer hikes. It’s all about enjoying yourself so there’s no need to push yourself so far that you strain your body.
My Hiking Essentials
A GPS watch so you know where you’re going every step of the way.
This is a must-have for me! A GPS watch will serve not only as a map but also a timekeeper so you can keep track of daylight and automatically track your activity. The Garmin Instinct is a great hardy choice or you could go with a Garmin Venu for a more minimalist look.
An SPF 70+ sunscreen and SPF 30 lip balm to protect your precious skin and keep you sunburnt free!
Lip sunburn is the absolute worst and lip sunscreen has been a LIFESAVER essential for me. My favorite is the Eucerin Aquaphor Lip Balm (SPF 30). It’s moisturizing and light and doesn’t leave the dreaded white film on your lips upon application. I use the OG Neutrogena Sport Face SPF 70+ sunscreen – for all my sweaty gals – this stuff stays ON and out of your eyes. I would recommend reapplying every three hours you’re out there to be on the safe side!
A pair of hiking shoes that will keep you comfortable.
I actually wear trail runners instead of hiking shoes. Personal preference! I’d recommend Keen Hiking Boots for the trail. They come in all sorts of configurations and colorways so you’re bound to find one you like. I wore these for years before switching to trail runners and I can attest to their comfort.
A great hat to keep the sun off your head, protect your eyes and hide a bad hair day.
This Janji running cap is my go to – it’s lightweight, easy to wash and doesn’t get too sweaty. I would also recommend this Lululemon sunhat that can protect your neck more for longer hikes.
A pair of sport sunglasses that will never slide off your face.
I have the flattest nose and the damndest time finding glasses that fit when I run. Enter: Goodr. They have a proprietary grip on the nosepiece that is LEGENDARY. Goodr Sunglasses come in all sorts of colors + they’re lightweight & if I lose them they won’t break the bank. I love matching them with my hiking fits. My exact pair are these beautiful rainbow sunnies. I get a lot of compliments on these on trail – plus they’re polarized!
A water bladder so you don’t have to reach into your backpack to grab a bottle when you feel thirsty.
I have tested many hydration bladders. The Hydrapak Water Bladder 1.5 (or 3L) wins over all because you can turn it inside out to wash and the bite valve on it is 10/10. I also love that there’s a minimal amount of plastic-y taste with this one!
These biscuits that store well and electrolyte tablets for salt replenishment.
Bless blood drives for introducing me to these tasty treats. I’ll pack around 3-4 belvita biscuits in my hiking backpack. They’re tasty and they have a good amount of carbs/nutrients. I also love carrying around nuun tablets or bringing gatorade on hikes. You need to replenish your electrolytes and carbs on your hike, so these are quick and easy to carry!
A lightweight and compact tripod for solo pictures.
This one is optional but always good to have when you’re feeling shy about asking someone on the trail to help you snap a solo selfie with the landscape in the background! I have the Joby Tripod and have used it on hikes for eight years now – but I’ve linked a newer model than the one I use!
This pee funnel so that you’re never exposed on the trail.
Have you heard of pee funnels? They allow women to pee standing up and they’re lifesavers on busy trails. I did a lot of research on pee funnels so you don’t have to – this seals well and is super easy to use! Pee funnels are pretty personal though and what may be comfortable for me may not work for you. Still, I recommend that you grab some kind of funnel for your solo hike, whether it’s this one or another brand!
A sturdy knife that will help you in sticky situations.
The Leatherman Skeletool CX is a multitool and knife. I knew I was only going to buy one camp knife in my life so I went with this one because it’s designed with safety in mind and one-handed use, plus it’s lightweight!
Pepper spray in case of other ~situations~.
This is a last resort type of thing but better safe than sorry. This is the pepper spray that I bring on my hikes. If you’re hiking in an area with bear warnings – definitely also buy bear spray. To reiterate, remember to check on the wildlife/temps in the area BEFORE you go on the hike!
A First Aid Kit for emergencies.
Coleman makes a great one! This is one of the first things I bought for hiking in general, it’s an essential! Check your first aid kit every once in a while to make sure you have everything you need. Replace items as necessary.
You’re ready to go on your first solo hike. Enjoy your time out there!

Strawberry Milkshake Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie
Hello lululemon scuba oversized half-zip hoodie fanatics! On last weeks upload post, I teased the Scuba fans about the Strawberry Short Cake Scuba that I thought was going to drop. I didn’t mean to, I had anticipated it would drop. Sadly It didn’t drop online yet, but I suspect it will be uploaded with the next lululemon product drop.
If you are wondering when the lululemon upload is, follow this blog. The lululemon product drops usually happen on Tuesdays, but if you are signed up to this blog you will get alerted as soon as it’s live. That way you will not miss the next scuba oversized half-zip hoodie release. Especially the new Strawberry Shortcake Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie.
Are you picking this hoodie up tomorrow, or have you already raced to your nearest lululemon to get one? I was very tempted to get this when I saw it at my nearest lululemon store yesterday but I decided to wait. I’m hoping this drops in a full-zip hoodie version. Strawberry Milkshake in the Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew *Softstreme would be perfect for me too. I’d also like a Love tshirt and a Love tank top in this pretty color. This is a color I don’t anticipate going on lululemon sale in the WMTM section. lululemon speed up shorts in pink milkshake are a ‘buy immediately’ item, fyi.
lululemon tote bags perfect for gym and work
A simple, elegant lululemon gym bag for the busy woman. The Quilted Embrace Tote Bag is my top pick right now for bags for gym and work. This lululemon tote bag has been my favourite bag lately, and it’s one you should consider if you are shopping for the perfect bag for gym and work.
Lululemon gym bags and lululemon travel bags have always had a great combination of style + function. A perfect gym bag has to be cross-functional and can pull together our outfits. If you’re looking for a bag that will go with everything and then some, this tote is the one. Functional, fun, and trendy. It’s the perfect size for daily use at the gym or on an overnight trip. It’s designed with versatility in mind.
This is the perfect work bag even if you work from home.
Working from home means that I’m working ‘on the road’ a lot. Especially when everyone is home from work or school. I often need to hit the road with my job to focus without being ‘mom.’ I can quickly get away by stashing this bag with my laptop, iPad, and camera gear. Everything I need for an entire day of work fits in this bag.
The padded laptop sleeve is enormous and great for my electronics. I can stack my laptop with my iPad pro in the padded pocket. The main compartment fits my camera gear, and the pockets hold my cords and loose items.
Every woman needs a lululemon weekender bag ready to go
If you are travelling soon, this bag is your new best friend. Not because of how chic and soft it is – but also because of how spacious it is. There is plenty of room for a few outfits, an extra pair of shoes, and your makeup bag. I know this because I recently used it during our Vancouver weekend staycation. It also held my Ipad pro, my book, and my purchases.
Another travel-friendly features are the compatible trolley sleeve. I looped the straps over my husband’s luggage handles, and indeed it was perfect.
The front pocket is a great spot to stash your passport quickly. Inside that front pocket, there is another secured zipper pocket. I know the handles are a bit short for some, but I find them comfortable. I especially like that they are a bit padded and comfy.
This pretty purple colorways is not available online in Canada or the US anymore but if you want to keep any eye out for it on the lululemon resale market the color is called ‘Pink Taupe/Icing Blue/Rhini Grey’. The other three colors shown here which are also gorgeous are still available.

Bomber Jackets For Women Are Trending in Fashion! See My Favourite lululemon Bomber Jackets Collection
Bomber jackets are a huge fashion trend this Spring. Bomber Jackets from lululemon are trending in a very big way, especially bomber jackets for women.
That makes me really glad to have my Non Stop Bomber Jacket that I picked up on sale. This time around the bomber trend is more of an extension of ’dad style’ than it is the aviator look. Pair them with oversized jeans or cargo pants, and wear it oversized! Lululemon has stayed ahead of this trend by carrying bomber jackets in all styles and colors, year after year. They know it’s a wardrobe hero and not just a passing trend.

women’s bomber jackets from lululemon
This spring has been chilly in Vancouver. It’s 6*C today (42*F) and it feels like November! I’ve been reaching for my lululemon bomber jackets over and over again. During the warmer months, it’s ideal to wear a jacket that provides some warmth while also being lightweight and very stylish. You don’t want to wear a parka as the weather changes and you think of summer.
Whether it’s cool enough for a jacket or I want a finished outfit look, I’ll wear either my bomber jacket or my leather jacket in the spring and summer. It’s a versatile jacket that layers well over any outfit.
Bomber jackets are an outfit staple, and they go well with leggings, joggers, or an adorable maxi dress. They can also be layered over workout clothes.
Lululemon makes the best bomber jackets out there. Most lululemon bomber jackets are also reversible. Here are some of my favorite bomber jackets that I’ve collected over the years. I got many of these jackets either on WMT or on lululemon boxing day sales.
