Cute Pictures..

by Cristina October 26, 2010
written by Cristina

Nothing really new in these pictures but I love that this educator modelled clothes for the albums. These are adorable. If your pregnant and thinking of getting some Lulu items you should know that all of my maternity lulu items have snapped right back to shape after. Sadly I had never thought to get a Stride at that time but I would have loved it. I don’t know how I would have recovered properly from my unfortunate c-section if I had not had my still pants.

Adorable Stride zipped open from the bottom up with a Cool Racerback underneath.

Swiftly LS. very light and breathable for those hot flashes in the 3rd trimester.
Cool Racerback and Express Yourself Wrap. The Cool Racerback tanks provide full tummy coverage right till the end.
Modern Crewneck and Still pants. Still Pants are a must for pregnancy. Forget about those stupid jeans with tummy panels.

Fruity Tooty is Back!!

by Cristina October 26, 2010
written by Cristina

spotted some new Scubas in Fruity-Tooty/Silver. I have a Gratitude Wrap in Heathered Fruity-Tooty and I love the color on me. Fruity-Tooty is quite similar to Senorita Pink but with a touch more warmth and coral in it. I laid both colored scubas next to each other and they’re so close to one another that unless you have them right next to each other you wouldn’t be able to really tell unless you have a super sharp eye for color. Other than this there was nothing new in store since yesterday. I made a point to look for brushed luon pants and they didn’t have any in store just yet.

New Fast in Flight Bag

by Cristina October 26, 2010
written by Cristina

It’s cute but I think for a bag it’s a bit of an overwhelming print. I do like the Ombre Plaid prints but they always really overwhelm me. This is made of a type of felted wool so it’s more subdued in person. In this picture it almost looks shiny to me but it’s wooly in person. Does Wool + Luon make a good match??

New Pictures Up – Lots Of Great Stuff Today!!

by Cristina October 26, 2010
written by Cristina

The Dash Tank: Didn’t love it today but I do think it will be great for larger busts. It’s luon light static. For someone with not a large chest the front can be a little bit plain.

Happy Heart Tank – Very Violet. I think I like this one the best. The straps can be worn crossed or not.


Cabin LS accurate picture of the Heathered Haze. Dreammmmy.

And live simply pants. Made of cotton.

Wunder Under Pants in Coal/Haze. Oh how I wish these are brushed luon…

Chunky Knit scarf in Teal Zeal and Wish Blue

Personal Fit Review: Run: Dash LS, Cabin LS, Happy Heat Tank

by Cristina October 25, 2010
written by Cristina

So this is the very lovely Run: Dash LS in Lavender (or was it Lilac..). This is the Size 10 which felt large in the chest and upper body/arms but because it’s a form fitting running luon I was in no mood to see what the 8 did to my belly. See pictures bellow for why. When/If I get this I’ll probably go for the size 8 but motivate myself to tighten things up a bit. I LOVED this top and loved the ruffles. It’s basically a really great warm LS shirt you can wear out and about, under a vest or jacket and it just doesn’t look like an athletic top save for the little reflective detailing at the outer wrist which is quite subtle. I would love to get this top in a different color though which is why in the end I left without it. I do like the Lilac but I have an Inspire Pullover in Lilac and I need something a little bit different. They had Black and Teal as well but those weren’t tempting me today.

**I also spotted new gorgeous knitted wool gloves, toques and scarves. What made them so gorgeous was that they are thick knit and Wish blue. The wool version of Wish blue is a more muted down wish and it’s very lovely and jewel like. there was also a teal zeal version. The mitts were very long sleeved and were actually half fingered gloves with a mitten top that you can flip on or off. The price on these was not so gorgeous. I think the mitts were in the $60 range. Can’t wait to get some pictures of them to show you. These will go on my wish list for Christmas I think and hopefully my husband can get to his shopping before these sell out (I know your reading this secretly ;p)

The back ruffle is gorgeous. I don’t care what you poo-pooers say!!!

The Cabin LS (size 6) is an awesome top. I love everything about it ( =D surprised??) It’s a double layer of Pima sewn together. Has cuffins and really cute contrast cuff detailing. the contrast seaming I felt was pretty subtle on the blue Heathered Haze side but a but more contrasty on the Coal side and a bit more obvious. I love both sides of this shirt for me. I think my favourite thing was the cuffs which make this look more like a thin sweatshirt then a thick Pima tee. The picture bellow of the Heathered Haze side is not an accurate representation of the color. It actually looks like a lighter version of the Heathered Wish Live Simply Tee. There was also a cotton Live Simply Legging which I did not try on today

Cabin LS in Coal/HAZS

Happy Heat tank ($52) in size 10, Persimmons and Coal. Cute, has adjustable straps that you can wear crossed or not crossed, moderate support with a built in bra. This Persimmons and Coal was the prettiest combination that jumped out at me I liked the gathering at the sides and the bottom is quite roomy around the belly but because of the gathers + luxtreme it pulls it in close to the belly showing all your ugglies (as seen bellow, it does not hide mummy tummy). Although I found this a cute tank I don’t have a need for a  tank right now and wasn’t ‘in love’ with it.

saw this one today too. The Dash Tank. It was static thin luon and not running luon

And the front view.

Run: Dash Long Sleeve in Teal Zeal

by Cristina October 25, 2010
written by Cristina

So loving this. It’s nice to have a running pullover option that is more a base layer without a zip up neck.
where are the front view pictures though..

and this lovely message from one of the Lulu pages has me quite excited: lululemon athletica 6th and Lamar We know you love your cozy brushed luon gear (Inspire Pullover, anyone?), so get excited it now comes in the Dash Tank, Dash Longsleeve and (drum roll please…) WUNDER UNDERS!

OT (sort of): Aritzia Window Display

by Cristina October 25, 2010
written by Cristina

I love a great window display and always admire Lululemon window displays thanks to my Fine/Graphic Art background. It’s usually the way the outfits are arranged in color combinations that please the eye or sometimes they have a display that makes me think such as manifesto themes (controversial ones), environmental topics, community involvement or something political. This display from Aritzia stores pictured bellow has none of those things and yet it’s captured mine and my daughters attention over the past few weeks. Flying Kitty-Cats! Genius! Whenever were at the mall or strolling by this display we must stop and pst-pst at the kitties on the request of my toddler. And naturally I must stop in to browse around. The display has nothing to do with clothes, and no particular statement. It’s just enchanting, cute and a little bit strange. Here is the link to the Aritzia blog post about their Cat Display. I’ll have to think of a way to show my daughter that cats don’t actually have wings or fly by introducing her to actual cats since nobody in our family has a cat.

New Items: Cabin LS Pima

by Cristina October 24, 2010
written by Cristina

Gorgeous! I love the color Haze on my stride as well as the Heathered Wish Blue Live Simply Pima Tee I got the other day so I’m all over the blue reversible long sleeve shirts in Heathered Blue tones. How great that you get two color options. I’ve heard this is a double layer (two layers of fabric) of Pima for extra warmth in the winter.
