The lululemon upload this week
How is everyone this week? Happy upload day! This week I ordered the Soft Ambitions High Rise Crop Softstreme in black. We’ve been waiting for these to upload for a while after seeing the sneak peek in a product photo for the Cates Tee. I even made an illustration for an upload a few weeks ago with that outfit.
I also really like the Relaxed Fit Mesh Jacket in the Grey Sage and Navy. The Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Shirt in Sonic Pink is also really pretty! Maldives Green is a color I’m super interested in. I may have to order the align shorts.

The hottest lululemon upload! Straight from the heat dome ground zero
Lululemon Upload from the heat dome ground zero
Sooo…. how’s the weather? This weeks lululemon upload is brought to you from my cool cool basement. How many of you guys are also enduring this horrific heat dome in the Pacific Northwest? Vancouver is the epicentre of the heat dome and it got to 48* yesterday at 4pm, with the humidex making it feel even hotter. That is 118*F!
We actually surpassed the Las Vegas record for hottest day which was previously recorded at 47.2. Schools where cancelled late on Sunday night, and restaurants closed early Monday.
Needless to say, these lululemon shorts have been in heavy rotation this past week.

Small little upload today but a few goodies worthy of excitement. I ordered the Wisteria Essential Tank Train. I really like the new Gather Handle Gym Bags and the new colors of the Quilted Embrace Bags. I’m tempted by the Gold Spice Quilted Embrace Tote.
Last week I ordered the Metropolis Maven Crops and did a fit review here. I love them! I also ordered the Wide-Leg High Rise Crops and received them yesterday. I also really like those and will hopefully have a fit review soon. of the two, my favourites are the Metropolis Maven Crops. The Wide-Leg Crops are casual and so comfortable. Perfect for hot summer weather when you don’t want to wear shorts.
Did you order anything today? What did you love/hate from this upload?
Every so often lululemon comes out with THE BEST summer pant, and I always kick myself for not buying a backup pair, or multiple colors. This year that pant is a Palazzo Pant style, and they are divine. The Metropolis Maven High Rise Crop are what I will be living in this summer. The Metropolis Crop are the step up from ‘the year of wearing loungewear’ you need. Comfortable and as light as sweatpants, stylish enough for patio dining or for work.

I’m so glad I ordered two pairs with yesterdays upload. I ordered Iron Blue, and black, and today I picked up the grey sage in store. These are my TTS for pants and they are such a comfortable fit around the waist, despite the fitted high rise waist. I wondered last night if the waist would fit too snug for such a high rise since it looks pretty form fitting on the model. I debated ordering a size up but opted to go TTS. They are comfortable straight away but I can also tell from the material that they will really relax in the hips quickly.
The material in these pants are the best part. It’s a very soft twill cupro-modal blend. They feel silky and have a really nice drape and flow. I believe lululemon made a pair of crops last year with this material but they didn’t work out for me as well because they were a long sweat pant.
These pants are going to look so great with a variety of different shoes, and tops. It’s just such a classy, versatile summer pant.
For those of you that are tall, these will come up higher on your leg. I’m 5’4 and have short legs so they hit me in the perfect spot. Any longer than this with wide leg pants and I look like I have stumps for legs. The inseam is approximately 24″, but that was crudely gathered with a paper measuring tape.
I can’t wait to wear these and I really recommend them if you are needing some cute casual summer pants.
New at lululemon this week
Upload!! fun stuff this week. Lots of crop options: Metropolis Maven High Rise Crop, Wide Leg High Rise Crop, Wrap Front Wide Leg High Rise Crop. I ordered the Metropolis and the Wide Leg. I’m annoyed that they list the fabric as ‘soft breathable fabric’. I need to know that these are Cupro. My favourite lululemon Cupro crops (Lost In Leisure Crops) are perfect for summer, but are starting to wear thin. I’m curious about the wrap front wide legs but not sure they will work on my body type. Definitely something I want to try-on in store.
I also ordered the Wisteria Love Tee. Have you guys noticed that the love tees are now a thicker pima cotton? It’s just as soft, but definitely thicker in the newer colors.
What did you guys order today?

Happy Upload! Not a huge upload this week but there are some new items that I know are going to be very popular. The Red Merlot Scuba Oversized 1/2 Zip Hoodie is sure to be a hot seller. I also think the Sonic Pink Aligns will likely sell out, and the Water Drop Align Tank. Although now that the Align Tank is almost a core product with its weekly releases it may not sell out as quickly.
I really love the new Paradise Green in the Pack Light Pullover. I’m definitely considering that one. Although I think I will wait for a tank or shorts to come in Paradise Green.
Canada finally got theWee Are From Space Nimbus Battleship Align Wide Leg Crops, although I think we got it in the middle of the week. It’s almost sold out now! I ordered a pair to try out. I’ve been wearing my black pair a lot this Spring and I think the WAFS is a nice neutral. It’s a ‘safe’ white for someone worried about opacity and cellulite coverage… usually. I need to try them on to assess but I do have high hopes.
Anything for you this week? Do you agree with my guess for ‘popular picks’ this week?
The lululemon upload is here! First things first, I need to buy new lululemon masks. I cleaned out my car on Sunday and pulled out 6 lululemon masks crammed between the kids seats and amongst their car trash 🤮. They have taken over ALL of my lululemon masks.
Oh and so far, no sign of that lululemon warehouse sale that was whispered about last week. I expected we’d have the lululemon sale sometime last Thursday if it was coming but so far nothing. I’ll keep you guys posted if I hear anything else about that rumour.
By the way, have any of you gotten the lululemon mirror? How are you liking it? I would have hoped it would be available to Canadians by now.

I have to tell you about the super freaky coincidence I’m having with the new color Wisteria Purple. Last week I had the idea pop in my head that I needed a pretty violet lululemon top. Don’t ask me why I *needed* it but I saw a color in a water-colour paint swatch (Daniel Smith Wisteria) and I loved it. I was looking for a soft pinky violet from the old Lulu resale market, but I wasn’t having any luck with the shades I was pulling up. Not in the violets, purples or pinks. I checked every site; Ebay, Poshmark, my old blog entries. Violacious, Wild Orchid, and Ultraviolet where what came up and although really pretty, they weren’t what I was looking for.
I was so certain that lululemon had a shade like this in the past, but I just couldn’t remember a style name or color name. Am I imagining it? Did this exist? Do you remember any color names for a shade like this?
Then today, bam! Lululemon releases this brand new color in the exact shade I was after, inspired by a water-colour swatch called Wisteria.
Today’s Must Haves For Me Are the Eton Blue Love Tee’s, the Wisteria Cates Tee and possibly the Blue Icing Swiftly Tech SS. And the Track That Shorts! How could I forget.
We saw a sneak peek of Eton Blue in the Hong Kong upload a few weeks back in the lululemon shorts (Align Shorts) and I’ve been waiting for this color to pop up ever since.
The lululemon upload!
“What’s this about a lululemon Warehouse Sale 2021?“
Tweet-tweet on the street! Hearing whispers of a possible lululemon warehouse sale coming soon.

Have the Choose A Side Shorts always been 4″ and high rise? I’m pretty sure they haven’t been. I love the look but haven’t tried them on before out of fear they are too short-short. I ordered pink puff, and black and can’t wait to try them on. I’m also curious to try on the Mellow In High-Rise Short. They look cozy and loose but still kinda lux.
This weeks hot seller is probably going to be the Adapted State High Rise Jogger in Sonic Pink. Such a pretty highlighter pink color. And of course, the Spiced Chai Align Tank will also be a hot seller.
Spiced Chai has been so popular and I wish I could pull the color off but it’s literally one of my worst shades. I’m ‘deep winter’ and that type of pink washes me right out. Thankfully, lululemon has been hitting it out of the park with color options this season. There is sooo much variety in colors coming out and they all kinda play well together in unusual ways. I love the mix of jewels tone brights with more toned down colors, and earthy neutrals. Jubilee with Warm Coral? Love! Pink Puff Tracker Shorts with Wheat Yellow Swiftly? Awesome!

Getting poolside ready with these cute summer sandals
It’s pedicure time (please ignore mine, obviously)! Of course, that means it’s also time to shop for new Cute Comfortable Sandals For Summer 2021!
I have been a huge Birkenstock fan for years and they are my go-to staple, especially when shopping for vacation sandals. You can find my original review here. My favourite style is the Mayari Sandal.
My old ‘retired’ Birks are still going strong but they’ve seen better days and have been relegated to ‘shlepping around’ sandals. Birkenstocks are the sneakers of the sandal world and no wardrobe is complete without a pair.
Birkenstock EVA Gizeh
Inspired by Victoria Beckhams lavender crocs, I decided I needed to get a new pair of Birkenstocks in that same pretty lavender color 😂. Personally, crocs are not for me. EVA Gizeh’s are the same classic style as the Gizeh Birkenstock, with the same incredible foot support, but made out of molded rubber. The monochrome look when the soles match the rest of the sandal are my favourite! I was a little worried that these might feel plasticy and sweaty but the rubber material is as foot friendly as leather. They are just as comfy as the originals, but lighter.
I looked at several EVA options in their more classic styles, and really liked the new Honolulu Flip Flop and the Barbados Pool slide. Settling on the Gizeh sandals though, and I will hunt down the Barbados in the watermelon, or lime green colorway at some point. Overall I’m really pleased with this purchase and thought they where worthy of recommending here.
What do you guys think? Do you love Birkenstock sandals too?
Again, excuse my overdue chipped pedicure. We be real here. We’ve all gotten real comfortable these last two years anyways. *updated with better photos.
