Bruised Berry and Flash Light Define Jackets
Flash Run To Work Back Pack in the lower centre of this picture
Looks like items that were held back for some reason are now being sent to stores. Rehearsal LS in Quiet Stripe and Wide Stripe and Deep Indigo Wunder Unders. I have Deep Indigo Ebb and Flows so I’m not tempted by the Wunder Unders.
Alas, a picture of the newest Bruised Berry Define Jacket (worn with the Ray Swiftly Racerback)
Deep Thoughts Scarf, $78. Apparently this can be worn as a tub dress, and has little pockets. The material is the same as the turban head band out in stores, the grey panel of fabric has sparkles.
Ray Swiftly SS
Thanks to Tiffany for sharing her finds today.
Inner Heart Bra in High Noon Dot/Lilac
High Noon Dot Speed Shorts *Naked Seam
I’ve been reading negative reviews about the Naked Seam Speed Shorts and finally saw what people were talking about. All of the naked seam edges are glued so it’s a very hard and sharp edge which causes chafing. Feels like you could get paper cuts with those edges. Haven’t tried them for running in at all so not speaking from personal experience.
Run: Sun Sprinter Crops
Mesh panels
Wow, ok, these are pretty authentically ‘yoga’. Looks like you can wear your clown pants as a dress as well.
Cuter in this color/print than the one I tried on this morning (fit report here)
Run: Dart and Dash Short
I’m liking these! Depending on the length they have potential for me.
Ooooh a surprise first of the month upload today! I ran in and got my Power Purple Wunder Unders (not reversible) and was surprised to find that the size 10 was loose and quite see thru. I never size down down in Wunder Unders but in this case the fabric is thin and stretchy and sizing down really smoothed me out in areas so I opted for the 8. If you found the Flash and Porcelain Wunder Unders see thru you will find these ones see thru for sure. Too bad the luon has gotten thinner on the wunder unders along with the price increase. I just double checked the ‘husband, is it see thru luon?‘ test and he said the 10’s were a bit see thru but the 8’s were not.
Size 10
The 10’s felt really loose, especially in the waist
Yup, gratuitous butt shot. I do have some shame, really I do, but I thought It’d be helpful to show you how much it shows cellulite in the upper back of the legs in the TTS.
Size 8 (shown with the Run Tie and Fly Tank)
Run: Tie and Fly Tank (silverescent, Ray, Flash Light, Black and Lilac).
This one is TTS (size 10 for me) but was not super loose fitting in the torso, just really long. I really like the gradient mesh back.
Some Like It Hot Crop, Bruised Berry
These were super cute luxtreme hot yoga pants. Its like the running crops but without all the gel pocket features and reflectivity.
Run: For Your Money Jumper
Yuck!!! Yucky!!! First, I tried this on for fun but I knew I’d never wear it. It’s really juvenile and looks like an Ivivva figure skating outfit. The skirt is too short on me and weird because it opens up in the middle so it’s not really a skirt, it’s more like a ruffle. The top didn’t blouse up properly on me so if I did like this I would have sized up to a 12. It just didn’t look right on me but I’m sure on a less curvy figure it would look cute enough.
I really had to adjust the legs and skirt in order for it to stay closed like on the left picture. Also, the drop waist really highlited my mummy tummy because of the band of polka dot luxtreme.
Twisted straps in the back
New Swiftlys in Ray and Lilac. Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve and Racerback
Ray is the brightest of all the highlighter yellow- greens I’ve seen (Faded Zap, Citron etc)
Flash Light In Stride Jacket
Soft like butter!
Power Purple is probably my #1 favorite Lululemon color so I’m super stoked to see these Wunder Unders are out. Sooo excited for Power Purple!!
**Prices are up for Wunder Under Crops $72 (up from $68), and Wunder Under Pants $82 (up from $78)**
Confirmation this afternoon that this website photo featuring the Deep Breath Tank is also featuring Power Purple Wunder Unders Crops. Some stores (Pearl District in Portland) are unpacking new Power Purple and Ray (highlighter green) Wunder Unders today so hopefully we will see many more items in Power Purple. Both crops are reversible but they reverse to the same color.
*Update* Ok, I decided I have words after all and am back for a rant. I’m thinking these are made of cotton, probably vitasea or organic cotton based on how it drapes. And that really upsets me. The price of cotton has gone up which I thought was the explanation why we haven’t seen any summer weight hoodies like previous years and why the scuba hoodie production stopped over the summer. No wraps, no hoodies and items that would typically been made out of soft cotton have been replaced with tencil silk jersey. But then they go and release this gross design (sorry if I offend anyone that is in absolute love with this item – surely there must be someone if they keep producing these harems) and they are likely going to be priced at $98-$130, they use copious amounts of fabric and will hit loot shortly. Which means they wasted resources and floor space selling these items and wasteful designs like these inevitably mean prices go up on items that do sell.
Please lululemon, go back to producing fewer designs in the more iconic lululemon designs you were known for. Don’t make 182,000 items in tencil silk jersey in weird lopsided hemlines with shoulders that don’t fit because they are two meters apart. and weird haremy pants – make Sing Floss Travel Jackets or Scuba Lights/Lux, or Define Jackets in *different* colors, not 4 Define Jackets in one color. It used to be that Lululemon released items every few weeks (I think it was a 6 week turnover of product) so there were far fewer designs on the floor. More technical items, more classics and those designs were top quality. Now there are tons of items out each week and those items are either designed to appeal to very few or they are items that are poorly made. Why are you changing a recipe that worked for you? Why are you constantly reinventing the wheel? The brand and what it’s know for is getting diluted to a mass produced Nike. I’ve looked in my closet at the items I’ve purchased in the last several months and guess what it’s comprised of…Cool Racerbacks, Swiftly Tech LS’s, Dance Studio Jacket and Dance Studio Crops and the new Ebb and Flow Crops (which were such a hit yet they only made one run in that fabric). I really hope lululemon turns this ship back on course soon.

I’m liking the In Stride more than the Define Jacket. I don’t think we’ve seen a Flash In Stride at all before this one. This picture is from an Australian store so we wont see these items till next week probably.
