Modern Racer Tank Pink Mist

Modern Racer Tank Modern Racer Tank Alternate View

This Modern Racer Tank is on my immediate wish list. I have been living in Modern Racers for the past several weeks as it’s been quite warm and springy lately. I also prefer the Modern Racers to the Cool Racerback Tanks for layering since they are so thin. The CRB’s I can live with just a few of them to use on my runs but the Moderns, if it’s a color I love in it then it’s a “YES PLEASE!”

Cool Racerback Tank Surge Blue

Cool Racerback Cool Racerback Alternate View

I really like this blue a lot. Surge Blue reminds me of Stitch so I plan on getting something in this color. Perhaps a nice hoodie jacket will come out in this color or maybe a Modern Racer. I suspect not for the MRT though since this is close to Snorkel Blue and we just saw the Snorkel MRT in store. 

Sunset Tank Grapeseed Heathered Black

This is pretty with the contrasting on it to highlight the sweatheart neckline. I’m eyeing the Tango Red in this tank as a consideration for my upcoming BMO Vancouver Marathon. I’m pretty sure I want to wear Tango Red in a top if I can find the right top. Red is such an energy color and it makes it easy to spot me in the crowd for my family.

White Dance Studio Crops

Dance Studio Crops White

I was unsure that I would like the White Dance Studio Crops but just this weekend I found myself  regretting not getting the Coal ones that were out last month and are now long gone so I decided to try these ones on today and was surprised at how much I liked white pants paired. I tried it on with my Iris Aura Jacket and later when I got home tried it on with my Wren and Snorkel Modern Racer Tanks and the combination looks really nice with both. I think I’ve decided to stick with them in a size 10. My other Dance Studio Crops and Pants are size 8 and in darker colors I prefer the 8 but I think since these are lined and a bit sheer I’m better off with a bit of room.

More Surge Blue

by Cristina April 11, 2011
written by Cristina

Surge Blue that I posted about yesterday is now in Canadian stores in CRB’s. I didn’t see this Cool Racerback Tank at Coquitlam today but it may have not been unpacked just yet. I’m kind of funny picky about teal blues. I hated Lagoon and passed on Teal (later regretted passing on Teal) but I love this Surge Blue. It seems to have much more blue then green unlike the other teals. Surge reminds me of Stitch and if this comes in Heathered Surge I will be purdy happy.

Here it is on different materials

Store Report ~ White Dance Studio Crops and More

by Cristina April 11, 2011
written by Cristina

Dance Studio Crops White/Lined

I got these today but I had to bring home both the 8 and 10 to decide. I’m really torn between the two sizes. The size 8 give me slight muffin top but is tighter in the rear and less see thru in the butt. The size 10 is looser in the waist so no muffin top but there’s a bit of excess fabric below the waist. The Butt is looser but then slightly see thru. Once I decide which one will be most comfortable i’ll tear the tags off since they’re perfect for the weather we’re having right now.  really loved how the white looked with my Iris Aura Jacket and think it will look really pretty with other colors such as Wren or Snorkel or the new color called Surge Blue. The crops are lined with what I think is coolmaxx, a thin tshirt jersey like material. It keeps it from being totally sheer but it’s still a bit see thru in certain areas like the front pockets and that didn’t change when I went up in size and the fit was looser.  

In A Cinch Dress Black Seabed

I tried this dress on today in a size 8 and really, really loved it a lot.  The length was above the knee for me and the vitasea cotton material is really ideal for this type of dress to keep it from showing too much imperfections and from being too clingy. It offers a bit more weight then the Pima cotton does and a nicer drape. I think I would get this dress in a size 10 for me only because I have a pear shape and I want the bottom half to flow more away from my hips then the size 8 did but I think this dress is TTS in most cases. If your between sizes and heavy on the bottom try the size up.  There is some mesh detailing around the neck line and the vitasea is super soft and cool. I also saw a Lively Tee in the black Seabed print made out of Vitasea. Today I passed on this dress because I don’t have an immediate need for it but it is wishlisted for a later date. I also saw the scoopneck dress but didn’t bother to try it on. I know that dress is too short for me and not very flattering on fuller bottomed figures. 

Mind Over Matter Crops Black Seabead Print/Black/Grapeseed

I adore these crops. They are amazing!! The luxtreme is slightly softer then my other luxtreme bottoms but not sheer, and they offer more compression then my Dash Crops. The length is a bit longer on my short legs but there still a nice crop length for me. The vast amount of Circle Mesh on the lower leg makes these really a great option for those of us that don’t like to wear shorts running. These are TTS but if your between two sizes in the luxtreme bottoms you can go down one size. I went with these in a size 8. I also saw a Swiftly Tech SS in Tango Red but I passed on it for now. I don’t love a crewneck on short sleeved tops for me. 

 Sing Floss Travel Crops Heathered Blurred Grey, Heathered Wren and Black

These crops I didn’t try on but they’re cotton french terry and the same length as the Dance Studio Crops. They have nice front pockets and seam detailing above the knee that almost makes it look like an articulated knee detail but it’s not quite that. on the outside of the upper thigh where the seam detail ends there is a silverish button detail, right where the models hands are. These are also slightly less casual then the Lulu Crops.

New Print! Manifesto Message In A Bottle

by Cristina April 10, 2011
written by Cristina

I’ve heard from several educators that we will be seeing a new long sleeve manifesto print. I have a feeling it’s this Manifesto Message In a Bottle print that just came in a product alert. I like this manifesto so much more then the Snellen Eye Test print we saw in early 2010 in the Manifesto V Neck. I thought I really hated Manifesto Prints in general but it turns out I like it in the more whimsical text. Also, the blue shown below (darker) is called Surge and the light text is toothpaste. I’ve been told by a birdie we will be seeing more items in those colors as well. Can’t wait! I’m really liking that darker blue.

or ‘snellen eye test’ print as I liked to call it.

I hated this print and hated the burnout that ripped in every single top before it left the store.
