Britt’s Picks and uh-oh…lots of items I like. I definitely need the Herringbone Inspire Crops but I am lusting over the Pranayama Scarf. I have a thing for plaid scarves these days and this one is gorgeous. The Open Your Heart LS is back but with an updated fit. I see they added a cuffed hem to it. I love my OYH LS but I already have three from last year so I’m good for LS shirts.
My store got a big shipment today including all the new Fluffed Up items. I think I’ve fallen in love with Boom Juice, and of course every single variation on Herringbone.
The Fluffed Up Vest is a form fitting TTS. I found it hugged my hip area without creasing in the lower back (which happens with some narrow fitting jackets when you are a pear shape). If I wanted to layer over a scuba hoodie or something thicker thank a run pullover I’d size up. It’s got a double zipper option so you can expose the strip of reflectivity (and give yourself an extra inch of room), or zip the second zipper up and hide the reflective zip.
The Fluffed Up Jacket was also TTS and not overly tight in the shoulders/arms, however, if I was wearing something thick underneath like a sweater it would have been too tight in those areas. Same double zipper option that the vest has on this one.
Narrower zipper closure without reflectivity exposed.

The think fast pullover was TTS and incredibly soft and cozy. I hate things around my neck, especially turtle necks so I’m a bit unsure about the high colar on this one but I think it looks really good.
I feel like the design on this is more flattering on someone with a bigger bust. On my smaller bust I just look like my boobs are halfway down my torso…or maybe its just this picture.
I really, really liked the Think Fast LS. The lighter herringbone and the larger scale of the herringbone was really pretty in person. The RULU was not as soft as the pullover and I don’t think it was as relaxed fitting. My TTS 10 fit well but it was not as slouchy or stretchy as the pullover. I’m torn on which one I like better. I think the LS is slightly more elegant while the pullover is cozier and therefore more wearable.
There was a new Cool Racerback Tank in today ‘Prisma Inkwell Black’. It was extremely soft and silky but I wasn’t in love with the print.

I’m out of control because I am also lusting after these Heathered BlackTurn Around Tights
Thanks to Ms. S for sharing her photos of Boom Juice Cool Racerback and Rich Earth/Bark Cool Racerback (I’m not quite sure the name of the brown CRB yet). I’m loving Boom Juice in CRB form, and I’m also loving the brown CRB I got last week.

Here is a color comparison photo thanks to Ms. V of Boom Juice Speed shorts next to the Passion Ambition Pullover from a few years back. I’m really excited about Boom Juice – I think it’s a universally flattering coral.

I’ve noticed that Lululemon is increasing the amount of specialty items they are releasing in certain stores, and offering custom detailing like heat stamping and embroidery for big races. I’m really loving that option and I wish the Vancouver area stores would do this. One store last week was doing monograming embroidery, and I got my Manhattan Skyline Inspire Crops while in New York.
These exclusive Limited Edition Pittsburgh Skyline Wunder Unders are available until November 30th at the Shadyside store only.
