Upload Thursday Musings and More

by Cristina September 2, 2010
written by Cristina

First of all I have to mention my recent peek in at Lulu. Today I saw all of the TaTa Tamers on sale as I was heading out of the store. I had no chance to check the price tag on it as I had already committed do a certain direction with my very heavy stroller so I was already on a roll but every single one of them was marked down. I think the replacing Boobs On A Wire are coming in very soon to replace these so if your happy with your Ta Ta Tamer and want to stock up I would do so now.

I saw some new cross hatch Scuba hoodies. One was a green with black sketch lines, one white with black sketch lines.

I tried on the Fireside pants finally because there was literally nothing in the store for me to buy today and my toddler was totally zonked out in the buggy. I loved them and when I finally find my perfect pair of boots (probably I’ll break down and pay the shipping and duty for my Anthropologie boots)  I’ll get these to replace the Lulu pants I usually wear for colder shlepping days. No little impulse purchase items today to buy like headbands, socks, running accessories, Modern T’s or anything I haven’t already reported on so I was pretty disappointed to walk out with nothing even though I was motivated. I’m in need of Fall running items and also in need of replacing my Run: With It Crops (for sale by the way if anyone is interested) which have gotten so loose on my that even tying them tightly they still feel really loose in the bum. So I’m rather desperate for new running clothes you see.

What I expect to see in the upload tomorrow are the Peace of Mind Vests, Audrey Jacket, Merino Wool items, Tadasana Pants, Gather Racerbacks and Scuba Hoodie in the above print and the Senorita Pink, Heathered Amazon and Lolo Purple Fireside Hoodies and the Boobs On A Wire Bra.

I’m hoping to see some new run items. Crops at least please!!! my running wardrobe is not weather appropriate at the moment and I’m suffering because of it. Please, some new colors in some items. Ivy or Amazon Dance Studio Pants, Moderns Tees, earthy neutral colors like Branch and Ivory. If I saw a Peace of Mind vest in Ivory (I know there was a similar one last year) I would snatch it up. And do I have to even say it again??? Where is our Run: Inspire Pullover already???

What are you guys going to get tomorrow??

New Lab Items

by Cristina September 1, 2010
written by Cristina

I was thinking of heading to the lab this weekend to get some of my Lulu pants I got last winter finally hemmed with the free one hour service they offer **No More 1 Hour Hemming**. I’m too impatient to wait a whole week for anything to get hemmed so I don’t mind going for a bit of a longer drive to get them hemmed faster. Anyways, I really like the look of this Organic Cotton Cardigan in Oatmeal they just posted called Breath Deeply Cardigan along with the All Worked Out Tank. Aritzia has a similar cardigan/sweatshirt which they have in about 10 different muted colors but I don’t like theirs very much because it’s too thick and more sweatshirt than cardigan so hopefully this is a thinner and softer cotton. My husband is going to be so thrilled to have me come home in yet another “grandma cardigan”.

Audrey Jacket

by Cristina September 1, 2010
written by Cristina

Here is a great shot of all three colors side by side for those of you considering it if it gets uploaded tomorrow which I suspect it will. I stuck with the Shark and I’m really glad I did. I do love the Coal one but I have jackets in both coal and black as well as Dance Studio Pants in Coal and I like the contrast on the shark a bit more for my wardrobe.

New Bra – Ta Ta Two? “Boobs On A Wire”

by Cristina September 1, 2010
written by Cristina

Boobs On A WireBoobs On A WireAlternate View

  • Discreet, low-neck high support bra. Lightweight, all-day comfort for the C-DD cup girl!
  • 4-way stretch power luxtreme™ fabric has inherent wicking & high LYCRA® content for maximum support
  • Flexible underwire separates breasts & bra sits flat against the body for more support
  • Wide padded gel straps distribute weight & won’t dig in!
  • Gel padded hook-&-eye closure for easy on/off
  • Adjustable, crossable straps!

I wonder what the difference is between the new  Boobs On A Wire Bra and the Ta Ta Tamer. It looks pretty similar but I think the straps are wider and the cups sit quite a bit lower, more like a scoop neck. I think the Ta Ta doesn’t have an underwire and judging by the name of this bra I think it does. Also I notice ruching on the back and I wonder if that will show through a CRB. Perhaps this one is a better design for crossing the straps in the back and it will be hidden by a CRB. If only it was made for nursing too.

Love that it has gel padded hook & and eye closure. Actually, the Gel part sounds really good and it would be nice if there was gel on the straps and perhaps tucked into the cups. I guess that’s a different kind of bra though.

Amazing Photos

by Cristina August 31, 2010
written by Cristina

These shots taken at Whistler are just amazing.  I think these are Pat Young’s photos but I’m not positive. He’s the resident photographer for Lululemon so it’s not a huge leap. Anyways, some new items being showcased in these pictures but I posted these more to beautify my blog today and because we have a bit of a monsoon happening at the moment and these pictures remind me how awesome BC is.

The Awareness Tank In Grey

by Cristina August 31, 2010
written by Cristina

I like this one. It looks much better when that bubble part is smoothed down a bit instead of puffed out. I don’t think it’s a very practical tank to work out in though.

* note the mention of it being great for maternity wear. I actually don’t think this would have worked for me for maternity wear because of the inner tank. CRB’s on the other hand where perfect.

It looks like the black Audrey also has black buttons on it unlike the Coal and Shark ones.



and here is the coal. So now that you’ve seen all three, which one do you like best?


And a picture of the Shark one as a refresher.

New Modern Print

by Cristina August 31, 2010
written by Cristina

I saw the black on grey version today and it’a not bad but I really like this read red print one. < Oy vey, how can you tell I have a colicy teething baby today. My spelling is all over the place.

Are these new pants that she’s wearing? I thought at first they were the community pants but look at the waist on them. These are the Start it Up Pants also posted on the Oakridge facebook page.


Is this a Wish Blue Pima? I would be surprised if they had any new Pimas out as I think there being replaced by the Moderns but I can wish can’t I? I think this is showcasing the pants she’s wearing which look like a Harem pant. I’d like to try these on. My cousin from Spain who just left yesterday spent the whole month almost in skinny jeans and harems just like these.


Pretty, pretty please be a new wish blue pima.

And the inside of the Awareness Tank. I’d like to see the Grey one modeled because I think that one looked the best. Although the Lolo one in a few posts bellow is not to shabby
