Modeled Items

by Cristina August 24, 2010
written by Cristina

These are nice because there actually being modeled. Of the new Defines i’ve decided I like the Lolo one best. The static sure feels nice though. I like the slightly stiffer regular luon for the Define Jackets because it’s such a fitted and structured jacket I think it needs it.

The Express Yourself. I saw it in store a few times and haven’t tried it on mostly because for the price it’s just not soft enough. It doesn’t at all feel like cashmere which is disappointing (it does have cashmere but it’s a blend) and to me it feels like it would pill easily. I also don’t like that there isn’t a button or loop in the front to play around with all of that extra draped fabric. Cardigans can either look very dressy or very shlepy and this would just look shlepy on me with my height (or lack of).

New Savasana Wrap. Static Charcoal (?) and Black. I like this netutral one.
Travel Pooch. I don’t like that it doesn’t have a shoulder strap but the waist straps is different from the last version and has a nice buckle.

And a look at the Ivy Bon Voyage again just because I love the color

I don’t know if this is for men or women but it’s a cute knit for snowboarding. Looks like it’s a toque with a brim on it.

New Crops

by Cristina August 24, 2010
written by Cristina

Not sure if these are like Wunder Unders but they are called the Insite Crop. I love crops with the cute leg details and I would buy each and every one of them if I could.

Well actually, this next picture looks more like a running crop to me. I’m in need of new running crops so I’ll be interested to try these on and see how comfortable this calf zipper would be.

It looks like there may be another zipper pocket on the hip which looks bigger than the usual pockets that are added to the running pants. Maybe it’s a pocket for a small map for those of us that don’t have fancy Garmins yet.

The Color Ivy

by Cristina August 23, 2010

I love this color. This is the Bon Voyage Duffel I saw today and I had to pick it up and caress it even though I had no intention of bringing this lovely home.

Define Jackets

by Cristina August 23, 2010
written by Cristina

I’m not normally a Define fan but these were so gorgeous I couldn’t resist them and so I brought them home to pay a little visit because I just couldn’t decide which one. I’m not keeping these…or at least not the both of them but what I liked was the contrast stitching in the Lolo which is Power Purple but it sort of looks silvery in the light. That one looked really impressive on. And of course the Static and Senorita Pink combo was hard to resist, especially since I didn’t end up getting that combination in the Stride. I also saw the Bon Voyage Duffel in Ivy but not the Fast in Flight. I found the Brisk Running Gloves and picked those up but that purchase was overshadowed by these ladies.

Then I went into another store and got one of my other latest obsessions which is the Raglan TNA long sleeve t-shirts from Aritzia. Here it is in a heathered purple/blue but I also got a heathered pink one. I wish Lulu would make long sleeve t-shirts like these ones because the quality would be so much better. But they are super soft and pretty affordible at $35 so I’m glad I got them. There meant to be loose fitting and can be worn off the shoulder for that “flashback” look. I like the loose fit, it makes it feel like a thin and silky sweatshirt and not so much a long sleeve t-shirt.

Off To The Stores

by Cristina August 23, 2010
written by Cristina

I’m going to go to Lululemon today to see if I can find these Brisk Running Gloves I posted about the other day, not sure which store I’ll go to yet. Hopefully I can let you know a price on these (THE PRICE IS $28. Hooray for a decent price!!!) because I’d love to know the comparison to the ones last year. These ones have quite a lot of added features such as the long sleeves that tuck  under your long sleeve shirt, the watch hole, the lulu giftcard pocket (card likely not included) and the thumb openings (fingers too?) for you to be able to work your iPod, the key pocket and the reflective piping. I really hope it comes in other colors but I’ll grab whatever really because these are a function not a fashion purchase.
Hopefully it’s soft running luon.

I’ll post a list of items I saw and hopefully if the Inspire Pullover isn’t in I don’t get tempted by anything else. All I “need” are fall running items.

Better Pictures of The Savasana Wrap in Lolo

by Cristina August 23, 2010
written by Cristina

This looks good on her except I don’t like the black inside for myself but it was a very tempting item in this color. And I really like her non-lulu t-shirt she’s wearing.

Modern Crewneck T

by Cristina August 22, 2010
written by Cristina

And the verdict is that it is in fact a crewneck. I got this in a size 6 because I like a tighter fitting t-shirt. It was still roomy enough that it was long and had some space in the midsection but the neck was more of a scoop on me. What I love about the single tone Modern V-necks and crew necks are the longer sleeves and the extra seam details on the sides which really accentuates the waist. I also like the contrast seam down the middle of the back but I know that’s not a popular feature for some.
Also available in Charcoal.

Lolo Savasana

by Cristina August 22, 2010
written by Cristina

Love the Savasana in Lolo. Probably not as much as I would in Branch but I still loved it on. I was very well behaved and only got the Lolo Modern Crewneck. The Lolo Savasana is black on the inside and I would have preferred coal or something lighter.

Yay, Running Gloves (Brisk Running Gloves)

by Cristina August 21, 2010
written by Cristina

I can’t wait to get these because when the weather gets cold my fingers go really numb and frosty on runs. I love that these are really long so that you can tuck it up into your sweater and that it has the watch opening and key pocket. I hope they come in Lolo or another color cause the black isn’t very sexy. Not that the Lolo would make it more sexy but maybe a little bit cute.
