A lovely River Rock Bon Voyage Duffel has appeared on the website today. Did you catch it? This is on the Canada side. My diaper bag/ On the Move Gym bag has broken (hardware snapped off) and I’m in need of a new bag as I can’t just lose my diaper bag for a week while my On the Move bag gets repaired. In the meantime, I’ve reattached my strap with hair elastics and it looks really sucky.
If you have room in your closet for just one more lolo piece..
Great blog post from Lululemon Inside The Mind of The Designer. Not a ton of info offered in this particular post, but a few tidbits such as the possibility of seeing some fleece (although that’s probably for next year). I really look forward to reading more from the designers. As far as the Wellie Clogs…I’m sporting these Ugg clogs instead as I like the wool inside and that I can go sockless if I want. My husband is not a huge fan of them paired with my Wunder Unders though.
Hmmm, ok, I looked at this one on the hanger today and didn’t care for it but seeing it in the picture I do like the look of it (except for those weird petal shapes). There are already a few reports of this tank having a bit of a baggy fit in the back straps just like the Flow and Go Tank had. I think it’s still worth a try on though.
I’m not a fan of the look of this tank at first blush because of the cup detailing on the dual color versions but I do like that it’s a flowier around the middle top and also that it’s a longer luon light tank. The picture bellow, in the Coal version of this tank the cups are much more subtle and I like that better. In fact, I would say that the black and coal ones I do like.
The colors available:
The Daze Vest reverses to coal which is great to have two color options. It has a very different finish from the first version of Peace Of Mind Vests though which are Rip stop and have a sheen. This one is a satin finish and it’s more matt. It’s also DWR but doesn’t look like it would be at all, but it is in fact. feels much softer and cozier. I bought this vest today because I had been really hoping for the POM vest in a neutral, but now that I have my el cheapo Joe Fresh vest and it’s a great fit for me and warm enough I think I’m going to return this POM vest and wait out for my coveted Ivory Huff’N Puff Vest.
Coal on the inside.
Lots of boxes being unpacked at Lululemon today and a new Peace of Mind Vest in Daze (rumour first reported here). I will be picking one up I think. and a Tadasana Tank (long body skimming and open back). I’m off to Lululemon today to see what I see and i’ll be sure to report back later.
Recently I’ve been reading about Joe Fresh from Superstore, a Canadian grocery store part of the Loblaws chain. For those of you that didn’t know, Loblaws owns Holt Review (very ritzy Canadian department store). Joe Fresh, the store brand of clothing has been taking inspiration from Lululemom in many of it’s designs and I’ve even heard about a very similar jacket to the Everyday Yoga jacket being sold for the $59 range but unfortunately didn’t find it to try on. Probably sold out. I did find these down filled vests pictured bellow for $29 and ended up grabbing a black one (fuchia piping on the inside). they had many color options including a Senorita Pink like fuchsia and a Lolo like purple. The fit is very feminine and a tidge long and cinched at the waist, and actually the vest is quite soft and silky. $29!!! I also got the leggings pictured bellow for $14 which are a cotton lycra blend and fit just like Wunder Unders. Not organic but that probably doesn’t make a difference to the feel of the fabric. I’m really quite happy with my vest purchase as it will tide me over till I find someone willing to sell me a Huff’N Puff Vest in Ivory size 8/10.
The Coal Insight tank is really pretty as well as the Senorita Pink one. I wasn’t too crazy about it when I first saw the Lolo Purple/Power Purple and all Black versions. People that have purchased this tank have mentioned it’s low support and the extra strap tends to slip off the shoulder a bit.
And the Escapade Jackets. The purple one’s color code is Magic Mani but I’ve inspected it in store front and back and have not found manifesto print. It’s all just solid color.
This is a picture of the Flow and Go Tank in Black and also an excellent educator in terms of customer service (lulu take note of her!). She once processed my refund while she was off shift and just in early to shop for herself. That is really terrific customer service in my opinion. Thanks Erica for being super helpful and really cheerful and always ready to help.
Not a big fan of this one because I liked the shape of the Get It Started better. This one to me fit’s quite large and felt bagged out a bit at the waist. Also, the power mesh on this jacket is not quite as soft. Here is my fit review from last week. I do like the lolo version of this jacket though.
