Run Full Tilt Long Sleeve, Pullover and See Me Ride Tights Now in US Stores

by Cristina September 1, 2011
written by Cristina

I haven’t heard if any of the Canadian stores have received an early pre holiday Monday shipment yet of the latest Fall running items but I’m hoping my store gets them tomorrow since I’ll probably have a chance to run in then for a quick peek. Immediately on my wish list is the Long Sleeve pictured bellow in Clear Sky. I love that it has a banded hem at the bottom and the contrast between the circle mesh panels and the heathered Clear Sky isn’t very obvious or busy. Its priced at $78 which seems reasonable to me and if it comes in Heathered Raspberry I’ll probably get two this season and forgo getting a pullover.

Upload Thursday

I didn’t buy anything today, can you believe it? Last night I was just itching for some new Fall item to make it’s way into my shopping cart and then today I’m a little hesitant with the items that did show up from my wish list. I need to hit the store tomorrow to see if anything new arrives before the holiday monday. 

Did you buy anything today?

Movement Legwarmers $48

I was wanting to get these leg warmers but I’m really stuck on the price. Last year the leg warmers were about $28- $38 and while still expensive, I could reason that it was the cheapest item in store and an easy impulse buy when nothing else interested me. Now this accessory is priced higher then some tank tops so it’s a little harder to justify. I’d rather get more for my money…not less. 

Turbo Tank

I loved this tank when I tried it on the other day. Even though it’s not a major cleavage bearing tank top it still has an edgy sexy quality to it, especially in this rich neutral. But I don’t *need* it so I’m going to be strong. 

Run Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve

I seem to always second guess the Run Swiftly’s. Last year I really wanted the Power Purple one but second guessed myself and then they became impossible to find on ebay. I should learn my lesson but I’m going to wait to get this one since I want to get the Run Full Tilt Pullover hopefully in Raspberry if it’s made.

Upload Thursday Eve Refresher

by Cristina September 1, 2011
written by Cristina

I got tons and tons of images this week in the product alerts that I’m not sure have made it into most stores yet. I suspect it has something to do with the holiday Monday coming up and either we will see some of these items uploaded tomorrow or dropped in stores on Friday or Tuesday, or those images were sent out in error. Since those PA’s have gone blank today I suspect they were sent out in error.  Lately all of the links in the product alerts (and I subscribe to most of them) have included dead links so it’s been kind of irritating having a flooded inbox with product alerts that aren’t properly working. Ah well, I’m trying to be diligent in keeping all of the product alerts that come in  captured on this weekly blog post so we have somewhere easy and permanent to refer to on Upload Thursday Eve. 

I have tons and tons of items on my wish list now that the Fall items have started coming in and I’m finding it so hard to prioritise what my true needs are. I’m definitely wanting the Run Full Tilt Long Sleeve, possibly a pullover (in Raspberry please!) Cool Racerbacks in Rocksteady and Raspberry, Run Swiftly Tech LS and SS in Raspberry and Rocksteady…I need another neutral Run Speed Skirt in a tall length with 4-way stretch, also I fell a bit in love with the Turbo Tank in Magnum the other day so if none of my other wants show up tomorrow I’m in very real danger of impulse buying the Turbo Tank.  Eeek! Takereasy there Lulumum!! I suspect we will only see the Priiti Tank and Crops tomorrow, the Riding Crops, Vinyasa Scarf and a few Scubas uploaded.

New Items: Run Full Tilt Long Sleeve, Run Full Tilt Pullover, Run Essential Jacket, Apres Piste Jacket

by Cristina August 31, 2011
written by Cristina

Ooooh a very exciting product alert just popped up on Lulu This Just In with some beautiful running items. I’ve been dying for some running luon items so I’m glad were seeing a LS at the same time as the pullover so we can better decide what to get. Last year we got lots of pullovers first and then later in December we started to see the Long Sleeves.  I think this year I want to get a Long Sleeve first since I don’t have one of those yet and then get a pullover at a later date. I would love to see something in Heathered Raspberry but I may get the Clear Sky LS pictured below.

Fit Review Part Deux: Run For Your Life Tank

by Cristina August 30, 2011
written by Cristina

Yesterday I posted a Fit Review of the Run For Your Life Tank in the size 10 and mentioned that although I liked the roominess around the tummy I felt the bra portion and the straps were a bit too big. I ended up dashing to the store last night to try on the size 8 (and also fell in love with the Magnum Turbo Tank while I was there) and decided that the 8 felt the most comfortable in the bust and shoulders despite the fact that I lost some of that roominess around the torso that I liked. While I’d love to be able to disguise my muffin top while I’m working out to eliminate it I think it’s more important that the bra portion and the straps fit comfortably and correctly so I’m going to keep this one and hope that with a few months of CrossFit I will whittle down my midsection. With the fit of the size 8 I can easily use this tank for both running and CrossFit which I like. This will be my first tank with built in bra that I’ve liked as a running tank. 

Size 10
Size 8
Size 8 Profile

This one that I got yesterday has a very visible seam in the straps on the left side that is not so bulgy on the right. I think I want to find one that has more equal straps. I wouldn’t normally be nit picky but for a $74 tank I’d like the seams to be a bit more finished.

Fit Review: Run For Your Life Tank

by Cristina August 29, 2011
written by Cristina

Last Thursday I ordered the Run: For Your Life Tank to wear to CrossFit when I start in September since I’m sort of wanting something looser fitting then a CRB Tank yet cool and airy (and modest as some of you suggested is most appropriate). I’m a bit on the fence with this tank as far as fit goes but I’m so in love with the color that I’m leaning towards keeping it. The problem I have with the fit is that the upper portion is loose fitting and creates a pleat of fabric at the neckline. The straps feel slightly long and too far apart on my shoulders but not so much that it’s slipping off. I think the bra is supportive enough for CrossFit but not supportive enough to do a run longer then 3 miles so this will probably be just a CrossFit Tank. I like the looseness and the length of the torso though and I love the open back. I think I need to try on the size 8 to see if I get more support in the bra and to see if it eliminates the fold of fabric at the neckline and my issues with the straps but I don’t want to sacrifice the looseness around my middle.  

What do you guys think? Keep the tank in size 8 or 10 or send it back for something else in Heathered Raspberry?

Product Drop Monday – Canada

by Cristina August 29, 2011
written by Cristina

I managed to get a quick visit into the store today but I suspect not everything was unpacked since I didn’t see these Movement Legwarmers that I would have been all over (to wear with my new Fall boots :)). I also saw a new Method Wrap in Ghost with the Nesting Bird Print on the inside and a Coal CRB with black Nesting Bird Print. A Ghost Vinyasa Scarf, the Pritti Tank and Crops. I was impressed with the Pritti Tank because the entire lower portion was circle mesh but it’s not something I’m in need of at the moment, the crops are a possibility for CrossFit (will post about that soon). I was hoping to see a Heathered Raspberry CRB (no Rocksteady in my store yet) and some Running Luon pullovers or Long Sleeves but no such luck. Oh well, I think that means this was a smallish product drop and next week, the first of the month will be a huge product drop with all of the new colors. I’ve been told there will be a Lolo/Concord like purple coming but I’m mostly excited about Heathered Raspberry.

Cool Racerback Coming in Rocksteady!

by Cristina August 25, 2011
written by Cristina

It’s beautiful! I’d love a Heathered Raspberry one as well. I think for Rocksteady I would have preferred a matte luon to the Pearl Luxtreme and for Heathered Raspberry I’d love it to be a Pearl Luxtreme.
