OT: Aritzia Online Store Launch

by Cristina November 29, 2012
written by Cristina

I know a lot of you readers are also fans of Aritzia so I thought I’d let you know that finally they have launched Aritzia.com, their ecommerce site. They are charging a standard shipping rate of $8, and overnight $22 and have a US site and a Canadian site. Woo hoo! I love a lot of Aritzia items but I find the in store experience a little frustrating so I will definitely be taking advantage of shopping from them online.

The Latest: Beaming Blue Daily Yoga Jacket, Black/White Classic Stripe and More

Daily Yoga Jacket in Beaming Blue

I didn’t like this one at first but I kind of think its fun now. It’s not my personal taste but I do admire it in all the pictures I’ve seen of it. 

I’m really liking this St. Moritz Jersey and am adding it to my ‘look for on Boxing Day‘ list. It seems like it would be a closet staple to have in my lulu and none lulu wardrobe.

Upload #2!

by Cristina November 29, 2012
written by Cristina

Boo! Why is this Laceoflage CRB not Black/White??? I don’t want it in Beaming Blue! Did you guys order anything from tonights small upload? Nothing for me unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it). I’m still sitting on the Off The Mat Jacket from last upload and thinking about it thanks to all of your kind comments. The decision on it will come down to how practical it will be. Oh, and a few items where uploaded to loot too. My Loot wishlist for boxing day is the St. Moritz Jersey LS in Black. But I want a major sale price on that.

New Color! Burning Yellow

by Cristina November 29, 2012
written by Cristina

I’m really loving this new yellow called Burning Yellow currently in Australia. A couple of weeks ago we caught a glimpse of this color in the Burning Yellow/Inkwell Speed Speed Shorts that were uploaded. I’m definitely going to want a Cool Racerback in this color and possibly the Swiftly Racerback too. Hope this holds off till January.

New! Beaming Blue Cool Racerback and Devotion Tee LS

by Cristina November 29, 2012
written by Cristina

I almost missed seeing this CRB in Beaming Blue thinking that it was Limitless Blue at first glance but it is actually Beaming Blue. It’s quite gorgeous but I’m not sure I can justify it. I have a Pigment Blue and Limitless Blue CRB and I love those so much. I wear those the most to Crossfit. Actually, maybe another solid blue would be a good idea. The Devotion Tee LS is also listed as coming in Beaming Blue and that is definitely something I want. I hope these are uploaded tonight. Lululemon stated on their Sunday night blog post that we would see some of their sneak peek items on Thursday’s upload – take from that what you will. I apologize for my incorrect statement that there was going to be an upload on Monday night but it seems several people were getting different responses from Lululemon.

Sneak Peeks From Australia, New Print! ‘Spring Has Sprung’

written by Cristina

New colors and prints showing up in Australia right now. Spring Has Sprung, which I’m really liking, Mint Moments (which I posted about yesterday since it’s in the Ivivva line), Inkwell, Polar Haze and Shell Pink. Not too excited over anything other than the print, although Mint Moment and Polar Haze are both nice.

Clarity Yellow/Heathered Polar Cream Devotion Tee LS

I really love this one but I know it will be sheer, and it will wash me out. Too bad 🙁

The Latest: Fireside Jersey, St. Moritz Jersey, Cute Outfits and More

This is a really cute outfit of the St. Moritz Jersey and the Coco Pique Wunder Unders and Chalet accessories. I’d like to try on the St. Moritz Jersey in black but I generally don’t love turtlenecks.

I actually really like this scarf but would never pay more than $60 for something like this.

Fit Review: Black Swan Off The Mat Jacket

by Cristina November 28, 2012
written by Cristina

Sad times. I received my Sunday night order and I’m 99% sure both items will be going back. First of all, I hated the Classic Stripe Pink Shell Vinyasa on me. The shade of pink is really unflattering on me in person which is weird because pinks are usually pretty universally flattering and I like pinks generally. I didn’t even mind the black strip of ribbon on the ends, but the tone of pink is just really weird. 

Secondly, the Off The Mat Jacket in Black Swan. I owned this jacket last year and loved it but ended up selling it at the end of the season because the bulk at the neckline was sooo much that I was constantly aware of it. The profile of that cowl neck is so wide that you cannot see your own legs and feet. It’s a lovely jacket but it’s definitely a statement jacket and the bulk at the upper chest and neck made me feel like I was wearing a super hero costume with all that fake muscle padding. The different depths to the two side pockets is a minor annoyance and would not have been a deal breaker but I really wish they would have tweaked the neckline even slightly. Perhaps just a single layer of the sherpa fleece rather than having it lined in the low pile fleece on the outside and the sherpa. Line it in swiftly for that panel instead! The jacket is WARM, so if you live in a cold climate you will be happy with that but here in rainy Vancouver I’d need a rain jacket over top of it on most days, and it doesn’t get that cold here so it’s just conducive to my lifestyle. Also worth noting is that this jacket needs to be zipped up. It’s asymetrical closure really looks odd when you leave it open since one side of the jacket is longer and heavier. it looks like you are wearing a  jagged fleece blanket. That also wasn’t a deal breaker for me, it’s really the neckline that has me heartbroken. The positive though is that this colorway, Black Swan, is so gorgeous in person and so much softer than last years black version. It’s seriously velvety soft inside and out. If any other fleece item comes out in this same material and color I will be getting it (but if it’s the Don’t Hurry Be Happy Pullover, thats another fleece item that I could have loved but was bothered by the bulky neck) . This jacket has two fleeces on it, a sherpa high piled fleece and a low pile fleece lining the outside. It’s quite different from the other fleece pullovers in that even the low pile is much more densely packed so its way better quality fleece than say, the Apres Run Pullover from last year or the Post Run Pullover from the year before. I say, get it if having to return it isn’t an inconvenience, give it a chance. It may or may not work for you but when this jacket does work it is gorgeous on. I suspect this jacket is much better balanced on a person with slimmer legs and hips.
