Pretty Pink Tonka Stripe Cool Racerback with 

Low Rider Pants in Bordeaux

 I’m liking these pants. They look like another Still Pant mash up (Like the Will Pants) but this mashes the Still Pants with the Tea Cozy Pants.

I’m loving these Run: Track Time Crops in Bordeaux and am toying with the idea of selling my Run: Chase Me Crops (which I only use for running) in order to get these for Crossfit. I did get a few items in Bordeaux already though so I don’t want to get too many items… but these are so gorgeous and sleek with the pretty pink contrasting. 

 I briefly looked at these Cool Racerback Bonded Seam today and really didn’t care for them. I think they are quite different from last years version of the bonded seam CRB as this one is also seamless in the straps, so totally seamless. The straps are basically folded over and glued together which creates some lumpyness in the area where you would normally have a neat and tidy seam at the top of your shoulder. If you hated the heathered angel though this would probably be an adequate replacement since it is solid and you could probably wear it inside out to get rid of the unsightly black line down the one side. Admittedly although I adore my Heathered Power Purple CRB, after about 5-6 wears it is pilling horribly in the underarm area. Horribly!!!! I will take it in to get depilled as I’m not sure how the fabric will hold up to the depiller. 

Can you believe this new disclaimer that comes with the Wunder Unders? I’m kind of shocked that this is the solution to the increasing sheerness in the luon bottoms rather than returning to the old, more superior quality luon blends. I can’t imagine it will be economical in the long run for them to have to take returns on items due to sheerness (within the two week period of course) rather than selling an item once and having the customer satisfied with their purchase. Those products returned at the two week period are more likely to end up at outlet due to the quick product change over, and it will also cost them the shipping to and from in some cases. 

This disclaimer about the color transfer is even funnier to me in light of the admission on the Q2 earnings call that it has been in fact a quality issue. Still though, the onus is on the customer to ‘care for your brights’ even though we know the dyes they used are simply not adhering to the fabric and not only causing transfer but significant fading.

Good close up of the texture of the fabric.

 Run: Bright at Night Crop and Run: Star Runner SS

Run: Gust Buster Jacket in Pigment Blue

Nothing for me today 🙂 thank goodness! How about you guys? 

The Bordeaux Drama Presence of Mind Jacket was priced at $98 at the Burlington Outlet today. Hold out for markdown on this one. 

Sorry for the late post today, we were at the zoo in Seattle all day and just got home so just catching up on what was released in stores and what we can expect for tonights upload. 

New Speed Shorts spotted in Vancouver store. 

Cool Racerback Tonka Striped Bordeaux Drama

Looks like stores are getting these Bordeaux Drama CRB’s in today

New bonded seam CRB’s are likely solid versions of the Heathered Split Pea and Angel Blue.

Tonka Striped Bordeaux Drama Sun Runner! 

Run: Track Time Crop

I really like these a lot. I’d almost trade my Run Chase Me Crops in Indigo Wee are From Space for these. 

Virtue Energy Pant

Bordeaux Drama Wunder Under Crop

I really like these. I never go for the pant version but the Crops tempt me. Too bad about the gusset though. It’s obvious from almost every single picture I’ve seen of wunder under pants (and other tight pants) that the new gusset is a universal problem. Wether it be because it creates CT or because the gusset is placed way too far back making it extremely visible from behind. 

 Aphrodite Tank

There hasn’t been a lot of store pictures of these two items and I believe the Right As Rain Jacket in Bordeaux Drama hasn’t even made it to stores at all yet while the Bordeaux Drama Studio Pants have just started to trickled into stores between last Thursday and this coming Monday so maybe we’ll see more pictures come up in the next few days. 

I’m quite happy with the Right As Rain Jacket in this color. Initially I was worried it would be too bright and not neutral enough but its really quite dark and subdued and goes really well with all of the pants I have (denims, light brown twill and light grey denim). The only downfall with this color for the jacket is that I have a few other Bordeaux Drama items now that I would not pair with this jacket because it would really be overkill. 

Bordeaux Drama Right As Rain Jacket TTS, size 10

 Bordeaux Drama Studio Pant

I like the Studio Pants in Bordeaux a lot but I only have one other pair of Studio Pants (Dune, lined) and they don’t get a ton of wear so I’m a bit hesitant in keeping these. The are my TTS size 10 and like others have reported the waist is really loose. The thighs and butt feel the same to me as past runs of studio pants but the waist is definitely bigger so It’s not something I’d feel comfortable sizing down in since I have a big butt and athletic thighs. It’d just be too tight throughout the rest of the pants in order to get a better fitting waist so I’d rather live with a looser waist. 

I have a big hate on for this Presence of Mind Jacket but even I have to admit it is vastly improved in such a great color as Bordeaux Drama.

 Bordeaux Drama Studio Pant II *No Liner

These are selling quickly!

Angel Blue Define Jacket paired with Bordeaux Drama Studio Crops and Pigment Blue CRB. I’ve been really wanting to see more pictures of the Angel Define paired with Bordeaux studio pants or crops

Presence of Mind LS in Pretty Pink Tonka Stripe

If I had a money tree this is the top I’d get to pair with the Bordeaux Studio Pants. I haven’t been very interested in this top in other colors but for some reason it really speaks to me in this colorway (and I’ve not been attracted to Pretty Pink items either).

Twinkle Print Turbo Shorts 

(I mistakenly called the last picture of Twinkle Turbo shorts speed shorts but they were in fact Turbo’s)

This album from the Maisonville store got me super excited because I’m currently on vacation and missing group WODs very badly and this Fight Gone Bad WOD looks super fun and intense and also it highlights Lululemon in Crossfit action with my new favorite Crossfit Tank, the Run Catch Me Tank in Bordeaux Drama (and Tonka pigment). this album shows how well a lot of the Lululemon run line translates to Crossfit. I’m really excited to see what Lululemon does in January for their specialized Crossfit Capsul.

So sorry for my light blogging week and my lack of proper editing of posts and pictures. I’ve been on vacation and working from my iPad with borrowed hotspots. Posts should get back to normal by tomorrow and hopefully by then I can show you real life pictures of the Bordeaux Drama Right As Rain Jacket since it seems the stores haven’t received them yet. It’s been a really light week for store photos or some reason with just one picture of the Bordeaux drama dance studio pants.

Loving this slub denim Define Jacket paired with angel blue and also Bordeaux.

Pigment blue Tonka striped in stride. Can you imagine a Define like this?

US stores finally got the angel blue define jacket and Canada got Bordeaux drama. I love this jacket so much that every time I see pictures of it I ogle it. I love this combo of blurred grey pants (light coal?) with angel blue

Best store backdrop ever. And I love her boots with this Sattva outfit.

Bordeaux Drama Dance Studio Crops

I’m looking forward to seeing outfit pictures with these pants. I initially worried that I don’t have enough items o pair with but I do have some modern Tees in charcoal and sports grey, cabin LS’s that reverse to grey and a light pink stripe, pigeon and Coal CRB’s plus heathered rose petal and white jacquard and I also think my Dense Purple pedal power LS would pair nicely. those are plenty of safe color pairings to justify these I think.
