Finally a picture of the Coal Aruba Hot Class Tank we heard about in product alerts last week. I love it and will be getting it but I also wish lulu had made a solid Aruba version. I really like how the lower bodice of this tank, made of Sheer Luon Jersey, softens the colors so they look heathered. Aruba would have been so pretty in the sheer luon. I also think having it in a solid color makes it more casual wear and not so athletic. No bother,  I know this will be my Aruba item and I do like the combination of Aruba with Black/Coal.

Hot Class Tank

and Coal Strata Wunder Unders. 

These are the colors coming in February and I’m a bit disappointed by them. We saw Lagoon last Spring along with Passion which is similar to Flush. Margarita is a pretty green but I don’t like greens on me in general unless they are the Ivy variety so I’m sure that will be a pass for me. Sprinkler is quite lovely but how many shades of blue can one have in her closet? It’s just too close to Wish blue for me. Sprinkler looks like an in between Haze and Wish Blue color. What I’d really like to see are Brown/Cream neutrals (not grey/black neutrals, those don’t count) more Raw Blue (need a Cool Racerback in Raw Blue I’ve decided) and more Rubber Ducky items. The only thing I am liking of this palette is the multi color Ikat print on the inside of the Sprinkler Blue Retro Groove Gym Bag (This bag is in March issue of Runners World) I like it in a print as a set but individually I’m not crazy about these colors. 

**Grenadine, Clean Green, Mystic Blue and Snow Cone are part of the mens line. Too bad, Grenadine is a gorgeous red and Mystic Blue is a stunning color as I posted about yesterday in ‘color envy’.

Do share, do you love or hate this palette?

Men’s palette

I’m having a serious case of color envy at the moment. This blue in the mens line is gorgeous!! Why can’t we have a Swiftly LS in this color??? Don’t ask me what shirt he’s wearing because the mens side of the Lululemon website seems to be down and I can’t check. Metal Vent Tech Short Sleeve Tee Mystic Blue

It almost looks like a Metal Vent Tech Tee which means it is Swiflty Material. Please lulu, could you make us a Run Swiftly Shirt in this color? A’course it could be the guy making this shirt stand out to me but I’m pretty sure it’s also a nice looking color ;p

I was really happy to get a message today from a reader telling me she just purchased the Coal Strata Cool Racerback Tank and that it is as soft as running luon and made of almost the identical fabric composition as her Brisk Neck Warmer (I have the neck warmer and it is super soft). This Cool Racerback Tank is 55% Nylon, 37% Polyester 85 Lycra Spandex. The Neck Warmer she compares it to is identical except for it has 1% less Polyester. Ever since my super soft Heathered Power Purple Micro Stripe Cool Racerback Tank I’ve been reading tags and feeling luon in the hunt for another equally soft tank. My Power Purple one is my go to tank for both running in and lounging around in. I’ve worn it to bed a few times too, that’s how much I love it. I just prefer spending $39 on a tank when I know it’s going to get that much use thanks to it’s softness. I can’t wait to pick this one up when it comes available.

The highlight of the upload for me are the Studio Pants in Raw Blue. Last night I had to return the ones I got last week and sadly the store was all sold out of my size. Mariah the educator was terrific and found me some at the Robson store but I was really, really hoping to avoid a drive downtown and paying for parking so I was so happy when they popped up first thing this morning. I have to say that Mariah and Ashleigh at the Coquitlam centre store are beyond helpful and have such enthusiastic customer service. Big Thank You to them for making my Studio Pants fiasco much less traumatic for me.

I got the Studio Pants today, Beachy Green Cool Racerback Tank and I was hoping to see the Aruba Scuba Hoodie or the Cabin LS in Aruba. Not sure I would have pulled the trigger on those two but I haven’t seen them in store yet and would like to try them on. I’m holding out for a Rubber Ducky Scuba Hoodie (heathered or non) and I hope HOPE that one will come out. I’ll be so sad if it doesn’t happen. 


What did you get today?

Studio Pant II Raw Blue

No Limit Tank Aruba

Will I buy this a third time out of Lulu OCD? Nope. I behaved myself.

Wunder Under Pants*Pique Light Grey Pique. 

I am tempted by these but such a light color is not a good thing for muscular thighs like mine. I wish lulu had some Pique Still Pants or Light Grey Pique Grooves.

Cool Racerback Tank Ikat

I passed on this tank but a lot of people have been waiting a long time for it to show up on upload. Cute picture, it really gives you more of a sense of how the print looks while in movement and angled instead of strait on. 

Run Brisk Ear Warmer. 

Love the new Ear Warmers. I like the old ones too but these are contoured nicer and fit snugger around the ears. The ruching and over all design is much more feminine as well.

The Hot Class Tank I love it in this bold blue but it’s listed as coming in “Clack and Coal with Purple Crush”

I think this is the Black/Coal/Purple Crush it’s coming in

Run Swiftly Tech SS  Flush/Dark Classic Sports Grey

lululemon uploads!

I’m not getting my hopes up for a large upload tomorrow since we haven’t seen a lot of new items in store this week. If this Coal Strata Stripe Cool Racerback tank shows up I would probably get it, perhaps a scuba in Rubber Ducky will appear which I would need to have because it’s my favourite color out at the moment. Rubber Ducky Swiftly Tech LS would be nice too.

My Light Grey Pique In Stride is going back to the store this weekend and I’m still undecided if I want to exchange it for a size 6 or just return it. Just not sure I like it on me. Ho-hum to a boring few weeks of product releases. I need a Gratitude Wrap release to relight my fire.

What are you hoping to see tomorrow?
