Thanks to a readers eagle eyes we have a glimpse at a new tank. This vimeo video was posted to facebook featuring the new Solace Jacket. I really, really hope this tank is made of Sheer Luon because that’s what I first thought it was when I took a closer look.

I really like seeing these videos and getting action shots of the newest items. It made me really kick myself for not trying on the Run Pace Setter LS. Now that I see it again I really like the cuffed hem at the bottom and the scoop neck. Oh well, I really didn’t *neeeeeeeed* it but now I’m really liking it.
The Pure Balance Tank has once again hit ebay before getting to the Brick and Mortar stores. What surprises me is that this time the buy it now prices aren’t totally insane at $65 which is nice for a change. Last week one was listed at $150. I really like the black version of this tank and although I do like the white one as well, the white looks like an off white raw cotton white that reminds me of cloth diapers. I also like that the bottom portion is slightly A-line which is promising for fit. As far as the bust of this tank, it’s so pretty that I don’t think I care that I can’t use it for any sort of high impact activity.
**update: the 4 tanks 2 white, 2 flush have sold out in less then two hours**
Pure Balance Tank ‘Flush’
This is from a US showroom. It’s the Pacesetter Pullover in Coal Strata Stripe which I’m sure will be buttery soft considering how the Cool Racerback Tank in the same print feels. I’m in the minority and really like the Kangaroo pockets. I like to use the little hidden credit card pocket to jam my ipod into (i have music OCD so I like to keep it close) and the Kangaroo pocket catches the ipod if it falls out of the little card pocket.
Another Cameron Diaz sighting dressed in head to toe Lululemon. Today she is wearing the Lilac Cool Racerback Tank and Wunder Under Crops. She looks really great in the soft purple tones. Those are a mean set of pipes she’s got too. Yikes!

Ok, Lululemon is toying with Gratitude Wrap seekers. I hate to post yet again about the Gratitude Wrap and add flames to the hype build up but Lululemon uploaded a single (possibly 6) Black Gratitude Wrap today in size 8 and one person was lucky enough to catch it. Tsk-tsk lulu for these games. Also, the Gratitude Wrap page was changed yesterday with some colors being pulled off the site.
The This Just In album just popped up but I don’t think there quite done uploading, they started pretty early today at just after 7am. Good thing my toddler had me up at 5am and I had myself well caffeinated from the start. Lots of goodies for you if Sprinkler and Flush are your colors. Nothing for me today but I do have my eye on a few exchange page items.
What did you buy today??
Fierce!! This picture made me laugh so hard. I tried this on the other day and it’s a size up jacket for sure, especially if you have a bigger bust. I’m mildly tempted by this but it’s out of sheer boredom so I will not cave.

This bag is gorgeous in this print! If I didn’t already have a bag I would get this one.
I like the open scoop neck on this. It’s perfect for late Winter or early Spring running as the weather warms up.
Pretty piped seam detailing on this tank!
Flush
Sprinkler/Ikat is quite pretty.

I’m not loving Flush in the luxtreme fabric.

This is a really pretty top and in Lilac Snow in particular.

I’ve heard Flush runs stretchier then the others (just like Aruba from the last batch).

I saw this new version of the Urban Yogi Messenger Bag on Monday in Ikat print and really liked it a lot. The Ikat print has Sprinkler Blue contrast and it just seems to pop a bit better then the Concord version of the Ikat Print. I really, really cannot justify the purchase of this bag, otherwise I would have been very tempted by it. Hopefully we see it uploaded tomorrow morning for those of you in need/want of a new bag.
I’ve just received a few product alerts from US stores (Irvine and Newport Beach) showing these Groove Pants with Unicorn Tears print waist. The color code is BlKCoal/MGSS. Hopefully this print is not as elusive in tanks as unicorns are ;D
*sigh* I’m not loving this weeks goods in store. I’m just not loving the color pallet and I haven’t found anything in store lately that I must have or that I need for running. I may have caved and purchased the Record Breaker Vest if it had better zip up secure pockets and more reflectivity. For an item such as a run vest it doesn’t really protect you from the elements much so it sort of requires the functionality of pockets and reflective features. I’m instead getting a Run Reflection Vest off ebay which I don’t love the looks of so much as that it has tons of reflectivity and two zippered pockets, for $30-$40 I can sacrifice the fashion statement for that price.
What’s going on with the items that are heading to Strategic Sales partners and lagging in coming to regular stores? Pure Balance Tank, Pace Setter Pullover, Resolution LS’s in Aruba and Purple Crush, Aruba Scuba Hoodie, Sprinkler and Aruba Cabin LS’s…I may head to the Factory Outlet again because it seems some of these MIA items are ending up there.
I think this is going to be another week for me passing on upload items unless some new items pop up. Hopefully considering the phone sales inventory is no longer available we may see a larger upload tomorrow then what was delivered to stores? On my wish list is the Hot Class Tank in Sprinkler and I’d like to try on the Pure Balance Tank. I also wanted the Rubber Ducky Scuba Hoodie but that dream is dying and I’ve now convinced myself I don’t really need another scuba afterall. Ladies upload your resale items to the exchange page because there is a bit of Lulu ADD going on and that’s usually the best time to list.
What are you hoping to see tomorrow?
