This is nice too but I’ve heard the bra underneath is coal and you can see it through the top part of the shirt. I think I like the Alarm one best from a few posts down.

Finally a picture of it. $298 for this winter coat and it comes in Black or Ivy with a fur lined hood. What are your thoughts about it? I think I like it but I’m not sure about the big belt buckle in the front and the large hem line looks a little retro. I don’t hate it though…

Gorgeous in Alarming with the Coal straps.


This is the special edition Hawaiian Aloha Shirt and I so wish I knew someone in Hawaii that could get me one (Mahalo very much). I love the little logo detailing on the bottom side which looks like a palm tree with a yogi sitting underneath.

I just went in to a Lululemon and was chatting it up with a friendly educator and cheekily pried about what new winter items she knows about and since I happened to be wearing my Gratitude Wrap today I was told to expect in the next few weeks to see a really awesome Gratitude Wrap come out with a hood on it and some great upgrades to the design. This confirms the clue a few weeks ago from the Lulu Lab about upcoming wraps.  I was also told we’ll be seeing an Everyday bag in a great plaid print.  She confirmed that they only learn about upcoming products a few weeks before they get released and also they see items in one color so they don’t necessarily know the colors items will be available in (not sure I believe that). I have a feeling we’ll see it in a Heathered Amazon and maybe Daze. I think we can expect to see these in the next two weeks like my local Lulu educator mentioned to me yesterday so I’m glad we had an unexciting upload yesterday so that we can all save some mula. Today I grabbed a pair of arm warmers in black because a friend of mine convinced me yesterday that it’s well worth the addition to my fall running gear for just $28 and since it has a really great reflective striping detail on it I figure that alone makes it worth it. I got the size S/M and I have, lets call them ‘not skinny’ arms and the size is perfect. I’ll be using them later tonight for my run so I’ll make sure to post about it. I’m also planning on going to Bikram’s on Sunday which will be my first time since before I got pregnant so I’m sure that will be a fun post to write. I’ve got a few bottles of coconut water in my fridge in anticipation.

Today I met up with my friend for an impromptu mall play date because after her first ever Lululemon purchase yesterday (Cobra Crops on markdown) she tried them on at home and fell in love and needed to go back for some more luon and luxtreme. This is my friend who always waits outside of the store while I go in to take a peak because she is not in the least bit interested in Lululemon. Today she purchased two more cobra crops and a Commit Tank and Push your Limits Tank. She tried on almost every supportive tank they had to offer and was giddy with the excitement of all the color possibilities. Oasis is her color. I coached her on luon maintenance and the importance of asking for cups for each of her tanks. I’m so happy that I’ve finally gotten her to drink the lemon-aid because we have her to thank for my current nail polish obsession which I have passed on to some of you.

My purchase today was the Free to Be Bra on markdown for $34 in Senorita Pink. I love this as my every day bra because it’s super comfortable and great for nursing and I love the secksi straps that peek through. I’m receiving this free Champion bra pictured bellow soon in order to do a review for you so stay tuned. It should arrive sometime in the next four weeks or so. This will be my first non-lulu sports bra and I’m stoked that it’s a racerback, that way I don’t have to feel limited by what items I can wear with it. Have any of you tried it yet with a CRB?

Another pretty sad upload today but that’s expected since were at the end of the fall items and waiting for winter items to come in two weeks.

If you zoom in a bit on this picture of the Flow and Go tank you can see some of the inner citron detailing peaking through above at the neckline.

I love the detailing at the bottom hem when this top is not pulled all the way down but worn naturally.

The Coal Tadasana. Looks like something Sue Sylvester from Glee would wear.

The Run Ultra Pants. I’ve been told these pants are tight in the butt when you stay TTS but if you size up one then the waist is a little bit loose. I do like the look of these though.

I think tomorrows upload will include a few loot items as I’m seeing a lot of items being marked down in stores. I asked today if that meant some new products soon and was told that the winter line is expected in two weeks along with new colors. Can’t wait to see what wraps the lab was talking about when they mentioned this clue about whats to come. Perhaps we’ll see some surprises in tomorrows upload. Lulu has been uploading little bits here and there throughout the week of items that were not uploaded on thursday so I don’t think that leaves anything new that is in stores (other than the bras) that hasn’t already been uploaded. Ok wait. there is the Tadasana Jacket, Flow and Go Tanks and the Tadasana Tank so I think we’ll see those tomorrow. I may bite if I see a Gratitude Wrap or an Ivory Peace of Mind Vest or some new Running Luon something or other. Other than that I think I’m pretty set for the next two weeks. What are you hoping to see tomorrow?

New Lab Item -The Dressage Jacket

Today I went in to my local Coquitlam Lululemon to return my Daze Peace of Mind Vest and while I was there I brought up the fact that the hardware on my On the Move Bag that I purchased over the summer had snapped off. I was bumbed about it because I use it as my every day diaper bag/purse and so getting it repaired would leave me without a bag. Amazingly I was offered the option of a) a repair that could be 6-8 weeks, b) a repair at a shoe repair shop paid by them and done within the week or c) a store credit. So of course I took the store credit (all three options were quite reasonable though) and put it towards a Bon Voyage Duffle Bag in Ivy and I am so in love with this bag. I was a bit worried about how big it is but who cares, it’s gorgeous and it has a laptop compartment for on the go blogging (;p) and two bottle pockets on either side. While I was there, and since I was so happy to have such a great resolution to my broken bag I went ahead and spent some more money. I got some Coal Cobra Crops on sale for $59 and I convinced my non lulu friend that she needed a pair as well since were going to Bikrams this Sunday to have a bit of a baby break (she has kids the same age as mine and has had a tough 2 weeks too). She was so impressed by the customer service I got over my bag that she said she’ll for sure be back for more stuff soon. I think she’s been bitten by the lulu bug finally and since Bikrams will be a regular thing for us she’ll need to stock up on some luon and luxtreme.

Good customer service is paramount for me when I make decisions on where to shop. I happily pay a little bit more for items at Babys World here in Coquitlam because I’ve so often returned items and gotten no questions asked bend over backwards customer service from them. They have tons of staff that are always ready to make the customer happy and for me that is way more important than getting the items a few dollars cheaper elsewhere and potentially not getting an exchange when they break. Sometimes products are defective and it’s unfortunate when it happens but if you have good customer service and give the customer a positive experience when they come into your store you will get them to spend more money happily and be loyal for life.

So a big Thank You!! to the Coquitlam girls for making my day today.

The Ivy one, not Citron

I love getting sneak peeks like this. I just wish these embroidered prints would be put on some new items. I would love to see this type of detailing on a Gratitude Wrap or Savasana Wrap in small areas of course like the inner lapel or something like that. Or on a Scuba. It would be a shame to see these come out only in the Remix style hoodies. We’ll probably see these on Upload Thursday but I think the album hints we may see these tomorrow.

These top two are gorgeous. I love the embroidered damask like print and the bright pink on the bottom of the two.


Stylized Om? very neat edgy design for an Om print.


Roses in a Roschach test?

I’m not sure what green this is. It doesn’t look like Citron to me but I think it was listed as that color. I now think this color is my top favourite followed by white.

I’m really partial to the White in this tank but the Oasis version is quite nice as well.
