Presta Shirkek and padded shorts. Really liking this line. If only I cycled.
I didn’t think I liked it in the polka dot at first but I’m really warming up to it.
Actually kind of cute here even though it’s quite pricey for just a modesty layer.
the cut on the arm sleeves seems to be an improvement to the very wide arm-holes of the zippy tank
Presta Shorts. Great pockets! I wonder if these would work for running or if the seat padding would be very obvious.

I’m not currently a cyclist but I am interested in the Presta Packable Shirket and the padded bike shorts. My dad recently got into cycling with his buddies (from Burnaby to Stanley Park and back) and I’ve been playing around with the idea of tagging along with the old goats. Surely I can keep up with a gaggle of mid 60 year olds, no? Anyways, I really like the idea of a thin Luxtreme DWR pullover (DWR Luxtreme just blew my mind) and the Presta Shirket looks interesting. Since the capsules don’t tend to sell out immediately I’m going to go for a ride with them one of these days and If I like it I’ll pick up the Presta Shirket. I like it in the white and the Ray, not so much the dotted bruised berry print.

A new cycling line called the Presta line with a jacket, short sleeve jersey, a tank (much like the zippy run tank). The jacket is priced at $138.
If you have purchased the Run: Nothing To Hide Mini be sure to double check that the the skirt is sewn together properly. A reader has received her skirt (the black one below) with the skirt and shorts sewn in one direction and the skirt sewn on backwards with the shorter length of skirt in the rear (2″ shorter) rather than the front and the front of the skirt being longer with the logo showing. I think how production lines work is that there may be an entire batch of these skirts sewn in incorrectly and they will likely be all the same color (black) so be sure to check that yours has the shorter length of the skirt facing forward and the zip pocket in the waist at the back.

Thanks to Tiffany for sharing her find. The pair on the bottom are the dupe ‘Dance Studio Pants’ found at Footlocker for $17.49 (regular price $34.99 now 50% 0ff). The material as you can see is identical to swift (94% Nylon and 6% Spandex) with the same little line designs. Waistband, seam details and logo placement are all the same as the original lululemon pants that retail for $98. They come in S/M/L and Tiffany found the Medium fit like a size 8.
This video was shared on the lululemon boards on facebook and initially I found it really, really funny that an anti lululemon person would post such a funny and well produced video about a Lululemon Barbie I thought it was funny when it was someone else making this statement. When it dawned on me that Lululemon produced this (in response to the Yoga Barbie by Mattel) my jaw dropped. This is now the third time lululemon has openly mocked its customers in ad campaigns. First it was the Who is John Gault (read Globe and Mail article here) add campaign that Christine Day alleges was misinterpreted due to the ‘campaing being released prior to the literature’ that was meant to give us the appropriate context. Some of you were with me and thought the conotation of that ad campaign was so wrong and others of you thought it was an overreaction. Next came the ‘Poser’ slogan on the new shopping bags. I kept my mouth shut on that one despite my *side eye* every time I see that bag behind the checkout or see someone proudly carrying that ridiculous bag. But now this. It is obvious Lululemon is actively pursuing an ad campaign that makes fun of the very people that have helped them grow. Not themselves. Us. We are posers according to them.
Lululemon, here is the joke. Your brand is now representing poorly made mass produced products that fall apart at the seams. Dyes that leach onto furniture and hair and prices that are going up with designs that are easily being replicated elsewhere at lower prices and superior quality. Judging by the last earnings call your investors are starting to give you *side eye* as well. Please. Barbie in Lululemon Pow Pink is not the joke. The joke is when pow pink gets onto her hair extensions and it costs you $200 to fix it. You are becoming to athletic apparel what Via at Starbucks is to coffee.
I found this ebay listing today with some detailed shots of the Bruised Berry In Stride Jacket and how the embossed dots look within the logo. I like that the logo, stitching and zipper are subtle and all the same Bruised Berry color.

I’m really loving this Bruised Berry In Stride Jacket, I think because we haven’t seen any thin summer weight hoodies I may gravitating to this more than I usually would a luon jacket. I’m going to have to remember to make sure and feel the luon before I decide if I’m going to get this since I’ve read that the Bruised Berry Define had a yucky feeling luon and I suspect it’s the same batch of material used for both jackets. The Cool Racerback I will definitely be getting since I’ve been told it’s Nylon based and not polyester.
