Lots of goodies tonight but I’m not feeling it. there being a few items I’m liking but I’m not tempted enough to order. I’ll try to get out tomorrow for more fit reports.
What? Not sure about the Hot But Not Tank.
Bruised Berry
Tempted by the Diversity tank but the hem your length option bugs me. I can’t cut fabric straight and raw edges are a disaster even with the stitched tabs.
Some product alerts have come in tonight with new items. The Run Fast And Free Crop color really interests me. I love that purple. And the Enlightenment Pullover, wow, that is a lot of material in different lengths. Will that design flatter anyones body type? Love the new Inspire Crops.
Run: Fast and Free Crop BRBY (Bruised Berry?)
Run Inspire Crop II LOVE!
Enlightenment Pullover Blush Quartz
New color “Ray”
This is the Vitasea Light Daily Tank in Rose Quarts High Noon Dot Print I just did a fit review on. As mentioned, since the Vitasea is light it’s quite thin and you can see how it’s a bit sheer in this picture. I still really like it but with something so sheer I’d like a looser fit like the Every Yogi Tank.
I ran out to Lulu today to try on all the new goods thinking I’d come home with something polka dotted but I came home empty handed instead. I know a lot of you aren’t crazy about the various polka dot prints (I love them, ya’ll are crazy) so I feel like I can wait it out a week or two and think about it instead of just jumping the gun. And to be honest I’m just not happy with the downgrade in fabrics lately with Lululemon. High polyester, cheaper feeling luxtreme, tencil silk jersey galore – these really put a damper on my store trip today and discouraged me from getting anything.
The Run: Bound Bra is really only a running bra for A-small B cups. I’m a C cup sometimes B cup and this bra felt just a smidge more supportive than a Free to Be which I only wear casually so I wouldn’t attempt to run or crossfit in this at all. The difference being that there is more coverage on this bra than the Free to Be so it’s a bit more comfortable but other than that not much difference. My disappointment in this one today was that they went and fucked with the luxtreme fabric composition so it doesn’t feel smooth and cool like all the other luxtreme bras, it feels like a high polyester content luon CRB with sheen on it. I miss the buttery feeling luxtreme that I’m used to and I hope this is just a one off mistake they made because I’ll be really peeved if bras from now on feel like this. I tried on the size 10 and the fit was comfortable but due to the cut at the front there is a bit of underarm fat spillage so I’d have to double check if that shows under a CRB. I loved the design of the straps in the front and back though and I love that it’s edged in black – the black portion is regular luxtreme, the bra portion is the faux luxtreme. This one is on my maybe list.

This is the newest Power Y in the Lilac High Noon Dot print. The new Power y’s are now longer and I love that they did that. I love the look of Power Y’s but find them too short on me so only have one that I love but never wear. This new cut is a vast improvement for me although I wish it was cut a bit wider around the bottom like the CRB’s are so it’s less fitted.
Daily Tank in Vitasea Light in Rose Quarts High Noon Dot Print.
I was really tempted by this one but since it’s Vitasea Light it feels really thin and is a bit more see thru. If you miss the old 5yr Pimas you may like Vitasea Light compared with the regular Vitasea. I may end up getting this one but I’d like to see if an Every Yogi Tee comes in this print/color with regular weight Vitasea for more coverage for me.
This one is the Lilac High Noon Dot Print Cool Racerback and it’s a high poly content CRB. I was really tempted to get this but the polyester deterred me. Also, I’m not sure if I prefer the Rose Quarts High Noon Dot or the Lilac High Noon Dot so I’ll wait it out.
Run: Bound Bra, Moderate support, made of Luxtreme.
I’m kinda loving this tank, especially since it’s moderate support with good coverage – If I can wear this for running I’m all over it.

New Deep Breath Tanks. The dot print on the quartz/pink tank is called Sea Side Dot. The Flash is ‘Flash Light’ and I’m not sure what the print is called on the Fossil/White version.
High Noon Dot/Blush Quartz, and Sea Side Dot/Fossil
For some reason, these Daily Tanks look like they are made of cotton. If thats so I’ll be totally in love. I’m really liking both of these actually. The grey with the green stitching will look really cute reversed.
Yes!!! Confirmation, they are made of Vitasea Light!!
Thanks to Laura who spotted these in a Windsor Ontario strategic partner store it looks like there is a 3rd version of the polka dot print we’ve been seeing. I think this one is my favorite of the three although I like the tiny polka dot print as well.
There is also this new Every Yogi Tee in a dot print (I think it’s the Every Yogi Tee)
The other polka dot prints so far:
I’m not a huge fan of the Deep Breath Tank itself but I am loving the print, color combo on this one. Excited about possibly seeing a cool racer back like this.
I’m way more interested in the tank in this picture than the bag to be honest. I love a polka dot print. This may actually be a Power Y tank and not a CRB. A reader had mentioned she’s seen this print in her store (she didn’t care for it) and said it was either a Daily Tank or the Every Yogi Tank and the background was light pink (Blush Quartz?) and the dots were purple. I’ll definitely be getting the CRB in this print. I believe there is also a large polka dot fade print coming which we saw in the bag posted about late last week.
This new Sackasana bag is priced at $108 and comes in this adorable polka dot fade print with a green inner lining. I’m really excited for this new polka dot print!
Here is a picture of the Lift & Separate Bra currently in Australian stores. I’d expect this to hit North America next week or perhaps for the start of the month. From what I recall this bra fit quit snug, but then again I find most retro lulu items to fit snugger and the remake of those items fit a bit larger (like the Dance Strap Tank). So although the original was a size up for me my guess is this version may be TT
