12 Days Of Christmas: Day 1 – January

by Cristina December 15, 2013
written by Cristina

This years special Christmas posts will be in the format of 12 Days Of Christmas. Each of the 12 days will represent a month of this past year and I will show a couple of samples from that months designs, either awesome or awesomely terrible…maybe one of each. On the last day, I will pick my favourites of the year for you. Please feel free to post in the comments your absolute favourite purchase of the year or your biggest flop. 

The Pump It Up Jacket

I sort of regret not getting this one in mint moment since I really liked the design and like brushed luxtreme. I think I was just waiting for a different color to come out that I might like better and when they didn’t release any more of this jacket I decided I liked Mint Moment best and it was gone. 

The first time in almost forever (well, since 2009ish) that Lululemon decided to give green a chance again. Savage Green items from 2009 where quite popular on ebay with Cool Racerbacks fetching over $100. Frond is really pretty but note quite the green that people where wanting so the Frond Gingham did end up going to markdown but I also think that had a lot to do with the texture and fit of the tank. Had Frond come out in a solid Cool Racerback I’m sure it would have sold out. I have the Frond Energy Bra and find it compliments a lot of other colors really nicely. 

Spring Has Sprung Print

This print had some potential, however, many of the designs it came out in where hideous. I mean, the Root Chakra Pants were awful enough but adding the color panelling that people where hating along with a busy floral print was a huge mistake. We never did end up seeing the Spring Has Sprung print in the Cool Racerback (or Laceoflage) which Australia got, but I believe they were pulled for quality or possibly delayed to the point it didn’t make sense to release them.

Fit Review: Parallel Stripe Wunder Under Crops

by Cristina December 13, 2013
written by Cristina

The wonderful Ms. T from Australia has shared a fit review of the amazing Parallel Striped Wunder Under Crops. They are 88%Nylon and 12% spandex, SOFT and OPAQUE! She is wearing neon orange hipsters underneath and you cannot see them at all according to her. She also mentioned that sometimes the busy stripe patterns make her dizzy or give her a headache but these were fine.

Fit Review: Brisk Bloom Cool Racerback and Open Your Heart LS

by Cristina December 12, 2013
written by Cristina

I raced to my store this morning right at store opening in hopes of finding Parallel Striped Wunder Under Crops but unfortunately they weren’t in yet. (note to the awesomest eds at Lululemon Coquitlam and Metrotown; you will see me daily stalking the cubbies until these are out). Instead I came out with the Brisk Bloom Cool Racerback. Its 96% Polyester unfortunately and so it has that feel to it. When I got home to try it on I was surprised at how opaque the white portions where though, usually white polyester Cool Racerbacks are completely sheer on me. I’m not a fan at all of the polyester prints but whatever they’ve done to change the formula from last year to make it thicker and slightly softer, I’m becoming more tolerant of these. 

My second purchase today was the Open Your Heart LS in Heathered Black and White Stripe. I size down in the Open Your Heart LS tops to an 8 because they are quite long (still quite long sized down) and the Modal Fabric is guaranteed to stretch out significantly with wear. Just wearing this for 10 minutes it will stretch out almost an entire size. It doesn’t stretch out in a sloppy looking way, but its a uniformed relaxing of the material. I’ve been extremely happy with my Raspberry and Deep Zinfandel ones I got last month which have washed and worn really well with no pilling.

Upload!

Tiny upload tonight … (so far?).. I keep checking to see if more items pop up. I wonder if there are production problems because stores aren’t getting all the online products (post chaturanga for example) and the uploads for December so far seem pretty sparse. Strange for the pre Christmas shopping crunch.

What color is this swiftly?? Its a beaut!
