How sad that the last true mid tone green that Lululemon came out with to compare Frond Green with was in summer 2010! I really wish lululemon would come out with Savage again, or a very similar Kelly Green. That said, I LOVE Frond. I especially love it next to Savage. I’ve been told that we will not see a solid Frond CRB (just Gingham and upcoming Ocean stripe Frond/White) so I opted to grab the saturated Free To Be Tank and later caved and got the Energy Bra too.

I kinda love these crops. 

Lucky Australians got the Frond/White Ocean Stripe Cool Racerback Last night. I love it. I initially was just interested in Frond but that has developed into a deep lust over the color. It sort of reminds me of the springy green Starbucks used a while ago in some of there mugs, especially when it’s paired with white. I also find it kind of beachy preppy. Boy, do I ever over thing colors.  Anyways, I did end up ordering the Frond Energy Bra because as I looked thru my Cool Racerbacks I realized it paired with quite a few of them: Raspberry Glow, Black Swan, Lolo, Gingham Frond, Savage, Classic Stripe Black White…maybe even Beaming Blue. Oh, and it’s part of Canuck Colors so I can pair it with Pigment Blue on game days.

So cute in Frond Green!

New Frond and White Ocean Striped CRB. I LOVE this one!

New Scarf, and possibly a Devotion Tee LS in Frond, although upon zooming in it looks like the new Run: Warm Up Crew

Surge CRB possibly? I have a few items in surge and love the color. 

An interesting upload tonight. I found a few items I liked this time around, but ordered the Frond Free To Be Tank, The Mellow Lemon CRB and decided to take a pass for now on the Frond Energy Bra. I love the color, but pairing it with other tanks may be difficult. I see it working with Gingham Frond of course, perhaps my Black Swan CRB….but not really any of my other CRB’s. It would look great under Inkwell or White, but I don’t have either of those two colors.  Did you see the Scuba Hoodie Stretch now comes in a *lined hood version? I also heard they will be making them a little longer now (not sure what color run it’s starting with, maybe this run) so I’m excited that they really heard that feedback and implemented it quick. What did you guys order tonight?? Did you find this a finally somewhat exciting upload after about 10 weeks of lamo uploads? There are a lot of items that just aren’t my style, but I managed to find 3 items this upload that I liked. 

Love the pattern/texture on these Wunder unders. But there is a sheerness warning on them so make sure and do the bend over test. 

Run: Two To Make It True Jacket has a much nicer reverse side I think. It’s almost like a bomber jacket on one side, and a completely different silhouette on the other side.  

New! Spring Fling Pack

Mellow Lemon Cool Racerback

I’ll probably order this one tonight. I’m on the hunt for a Mac N Cheese Cool Racerback but I also like soft yellows. 

From Australia, the Energy Bra in Bleached Coral/Pop Orange. I definitely want an Energy bra, just not sure what color would be most versatile for me. The crops appear to be Frond Green Ebb & Flow II like crops (like on the banner photo for crops on the website), or possibly just Wunder Under Crops in Frond Green. 

Mellow Lemon Power Y Tank

This is quite sheer in the cups so you will see the cup outlines, and centre bra panel showing thru on the luon. 

Mellow Lemon/Burning Yellow Swiftly SS

It looks like this one is color blocked with the two yellows. 

A new picture from an Australian store showing three new color blocked Special Edition Cool Racerbacks (Frond/Mint/Moment/Black, Dune/Bleached Coral, and Black/Pop Orange/Bleached Coral). I might be interested in the Frond Green one but I don’t think I can handle such contrasty color blocking. You can also see the Run: Pace Tanks in the picture as well. 

First things first, I’ve been tipped off that we will be seeing 5 new Energy Bras in the coming couple of weeks. 5 new colors!!! I really hope we see a grey, and Frond. 

All this week I’ve been writing about how disappointed I am in the texture of this Gingham Frond Green Cool Racerback. I still am as it’s so warm that I’ll probably only wear it casually and not to Crossfit. I will try it out though and report back how wearable it is for sweaty workouts but I’m pretty sure I will suffer with heat exhaustion over wearing this one. Anything for my lovely readers though 🙂 I also agree that the close up of the gingham print looks sort of like a dish towel…but, when I opened my package up I realized how pretty the color is. Some prints depending on the scale end up reading as a different color rather than a print, and this is one of those. To me I see a light version of frond and not so much a gingham print. Its a pretty green apple green! The sizing is definitely weird on this one. I ordered a 10 and it is SNUG! Not just snug but  the material is much more compressive than my 8’s. I’m not going to size up in this one but I think a lot of you will decide to do that when you try this one on. After 2 months and 19lbs down on the Whole30 diet, I’m on the cusp of a size 8, but my 10’s still look like my appropriate size. I was really surprised how snug this size 10 was. You can see in the picture I’ve added below how much smaller and shorter it is compared to my other size 10 Cool Racerback. It’s not just the size difference though, it’s the fabric and compression that makes it feel smaller. Maybe it has less lycra and more mechanical stretch. I dunno. 

Now, on to the Ebb and Flow II’s. There has been a LOT of chatter about sheerness on these and I agree that certain ones do tend to be quite sheer, Flare especially.  I think the nature of this material just lends itself to really inconsistent batches and that is just the nature of these awesome pants. They require trying on several pairs, and sizing them correctly. Sizing down in them really degrades the lycra (faster than other pants) and you can end up with sagging pants despite an initially firm fit. I first purchased these in black, size 8 and they were sheer only when I went into a deep squat. Since these will be primarily used for Crossfit where I will do about 10 000 squats in front of an audience…a little bit sheer is not going to be acceptable to me. If they were for casual wear I would have been satisfied with the Black/Size 8. I then ordered the Deep Coal in size 8 and when they arrived I was pretty surprised at how opaque they are compared to the black. There is a slight color difference but only visible if you are really looking and you have both up close right next to each other. I think there was a really tiny batch of the greys made but if you see them in store I’d try them on as well as the black for a good comparison on opacity.  I’m socking these ones away for when my current Ebb and Flow I’s wear down and I’m more solidly into size 8’s.
