Lululemon Black Friday 2017 Sneak Peeks

by Cristina November 20, 2017
written by Cristina

The Lululemon Black Friday 2017 Sneak Peeks are now available care of the Hong Kong preview! These items have been released at the Canadian flagship store already on Robson St. in Vancouver. These items are in a collaboration with textile embroidery specialists Forster Rohner.

I’ve heard  a few rumors from the community that the black Friday special edition items would be rainbow reflective like the Seawheeze items that everyone lost their minds over, but I’m thinking this is exactly what the North American market will be seeing on Thursday evening, in addition to markdown items (WMTM has not been updated for a few weeks now for this reason). Black Friday has become pretty big in Hong Kong so I’m not surprised to see Lululemon create a special marketing outreach for that market, and I would be very surprised if they got a different offering than North America. Although, the UK Lululemon site just got their regular product drop which includes these items, without the ‘Black Friday’ labeling on them. Nevertheless, be prepared just in case they do release reflective items as well if that is your favorite thing from Lululemon. For those of you hunting markdown items and not limited edition full price items for Black Friday, the sale usually gets better throughout the weekend and by Monday prices will drop lower. It’s always a risk to hold off ordering an item on Thursday evening in anticipation of price drops, but things do sell out fast.

Holiday Gift Guide

by Cristina November 17, 2017
written by Cristina

This year, I’m trying something new for my holiday shopping inspiration. I am a very visual shopper so I’m creating gift guides for myself and sharing them with you guys! I’m creating shoppable collages of inspiration as it hits me and I have a scratch pad at my desk where I’m constantly jotting ideas down on. Once I have several ideas going for a certain person in my life (or gift category), I’m creating collages that I can then click on later to shop when I’m ready to commit to something. Right now I’m figuring out how to best share these with you so, for now, I have a tab at the top of the nav bar on this blog called ‘Holiday Gift Guide’ and as I share a post with you of my latest gift guide, I can also add it there so you can reference back to it easily. Each collage will allow you to click on the image itself for information, or I will also have text info below, and additional gallery at the bottom of the page.  This first one I’m sharing with you I’m categorizing as ‘for her’ but actually, I very specifically have my mom in mind for this one and these are all things I’ve been thinking about getting her since the summer.

The Perfect Festive Sweater – Free People Ottoman Slouchy Tunic

Free People Ottoman Slouchy Tunic

FYI, the black one is on sale right now, here > ‘Black Tunic‘ and even cheaper over here >> Black Tunic with additional 20% off coupon code.  

My Free People Ottoman Slouchy Tunic Sweater arrived!!! You may remember my Impulse Purchase post from last week about it.  I was feeling so many mixed feelings about this sweater because it is most definitely on the expensive side for an impulse purchase and I was hoping I’d hate it so I could return it. I was also feeling annoyed at myself for ordering something that would surely end up giving me a chore of having to do a return. When I picked it up I was sort of surprised – I loved it at first peek, but I wasn’t getting my hopes up. The material looks like it’s a bit rough, but it’s actually very soft and cozy without being too warm or heat trapping. This shade of pink is just magical and somehow feels very Christmasy to me, like you’d wear this while standing by a tinselled Christmas tree sipping on a martini.

I held out hope that this oddball oversized sweater would just be a nightmare fit on me, but when I tried it on it just looked so stylish and very tidy for something so oversized. I absolutely love the open neckline – I am a hater of turtlenecks and won’t even wear a cowel neck but this neckline is just perfect and didn’t’ feel like it was suffocating me. I am a size 10/12 in Lululemon and I sized down to a medium in this and it’s still very oversized. On my short 5’4 height it’s  butt-covering length in the size down, but if you are taller than me you may not get complete butt coverage in a size or two down. If you are petite I recommend maybe trying two sizes down in this. I love that this can be dressed up with jeans and heels, or dressed down with leggings and cute boots. If you are looking for a pretty yet cozy sweater to wear to Christmas festivities (and something photogenic for seasonal pictures) definitely give this sweater a try. I think it’s especially great because it’s a cotton knit and not wool which so many people are allergic to. It comes in so many pretty colors from neutrals to jewel tones. The red and the teal, are going on my Christmas wish list for sure!

Since a reader just let me know that it’s on sale and with an additional 20% off (and ships to Canada!), I went ahead and ordered the ribbed tunic sweater in black.

The Lululemon Upload is up!
Last weeks Lululemon Upload Post, The Foreign Upload Sneak Peeks, Down For A Run Jacket II Black Cherry and Fast & Free 7/8 Tight Peony Print Fit Review

Pretty small upload today, but don’t worry because Lululemon Black Friday is coming. Here are some examples of previous Lululemon Black Friday capsules – Sequins, Feathers, faux embroidery, limited edition ruffled scuba hoodies, Reflective Snakeskin.

I ran to my store as fast as possible on Friday  to pick up the Fast & Free tights in Peony Print, and now that I see they come in crops too I’m not sure which ones I want more. I wish lululemon put out prints the way they did years ago when they where more spendy on product developement. We used to see a floral print like this in several crops, shorts, a couple of tanks and a jacket, duffel bags, swim and accented on a few waistbands or headbands. If you weren’t brave enough to wear a print like this in tights, you could find something in this print to wear, or, you could buy it all and wear a floral tuxedo. Not only that but you would have tons of coordinating colors to go with a print like this as well. I really love my Secret Garden Print CRB, and my Midnight Iris Print CRB – I wish I’d gotten the Inspire Tights and the Duffel bags in both those prints. Can you imagine Lululemon doing this print on one of their duffel bags now?

What did you order today? Try anything on in store?

This model is lovely and I love the mauve coloured Swiftly Tech LS. Do you think it’s cropped, or just pulled up/tucked in? I’m so happy to see a pear shaped model! I wish she was featured more.

Fit Review: Down For A Run Jacket II Black Cherry, Peony Fast & Free 7/8 Tight

by Cristina November 10, 2017
written by Cristina

Woo! Great product drop week at Lululemon. I received the Down For A Run Jacket from my Tuesday upload order,  and then picked up the Peony Fast & Free 7/8 Tights at Lululemon this morning.

Down For A Run Jacket II Black Grape, Peony Fast & Free 7/8 Tights

I have the Down For A Run Jacket from a few years ago and I’ve worn it tons. I have the original in my TTS 10  and I like the fit of it fine. I find I wear my TTS  more as a run jacket that I wear with leggings and a thin top vs. wearing it casually with a pair of jeans, and a hoodie. Because of that, I opted to size up in this version so that I could layer anything under it and wear it outside of to/from the gym. I find the difference in fit so minimal. It’s mostly larger in the chest area and the arms and arm length but otherwise this is still a nicely contoured jacket and you don’t get boxiness from sizing up in it.  I am not someone that takes tags off items right away, even when I know for sure I’m keeping an item, but this one I took the tags off immediately and I’ve been wearing it ever since. This is such a nice product release and although it’s not a new design, I’m so happy they brought it out in such a beautiful color. Black Cherry is definitely a blackish plum, not so much a dark brown.

I’m not sure the name of this new print but I do know that the word ‘peony’ is in it. I adore peonies; they were my wedding flowers 15 years ago before they became the basic instagrammer prop. I love that although this is a classic floral print they’ve distressed the print and washed it out a bit so that it’s a little quieter. The distressing has some staggered horizontal striation lines throughout the print. This print is going to be hard to pair with colors, but I don’t care. I will wear this with pelt, black cherry, black and white. I have always regretted not getting the Secret Garden Inspire Crops which is a bit silly because I probably would have shied away from wearing such a bold print very often, but that print is stunning and makes me happy. This print is backed in white but I didn’t’ see any stretching or fading out in the thigh or knees, and they were opaque in a squat.

Impulse Purchase: Free People Ottoman Slouchy Tunic

by Cristina November 9, 2017
written by Cristina

I think I just made the quickest impulse purchase known to man, and now I’m going to seduce you into making the same purchase so I don’t feel so bad shopping for myself right before Christmas. I meant to just add this to my wishlist but the FOMO was real, and I decided I’d wear this sweater to Christmas festivities, Christmas pictures, Christmas dinner and to bed.  I saw this stunning bubble gum pink funnel neck sweater on a beauty vlogger I was just randomly watching and I could not take my eyes off the amazing color, and the retro shape of the neck. I immediately scrolled down to see if she’d listed it and luckily she did with a little mention that it had just been restocked after having sold out.  Along with the name of the item I was able to see hundreds of her viewer comments remarking on how awesome the sweater was, and that was the only push I needed to click ‘check out’.  Man I’m so suggestible.  I did it so fast that I didn’t realize my account defaulted to my US shipping address and so now I’m going to have to pick it up in the US next week when it arrives. Oh well, that explains why the shipping was free and there wasn’t duties and shipping added to the total.

I ordered my size down in this based on the many, many, many reviews on the website for this sweater. I just love the retro neckline and how long and oversized yet totally feminine this jumper is. I think it’s going to look so great with leggings or skinny jeans and boots this winter. I ordered the pink because that was the color that drew me in, but the red and the teal are both stunning too. I think the red would be my second choice. It’s a cotton blend and I think the only thing that would have made this absolutely divine to me is if it had been made of cashmere, but cotton will make this much less delicate and more wearable.

Have any of you gotten the chance to try this sweater on? it seems to be a blogger favorite based on all the online reviews,  and somehow I missed it when it was first released.

The Lululemon Upload

by Cristina November 7, 2017
written by Cristina

The Lululemon Upload is up! If you were annoyed that the Camo Align Pants sold out, they have uploaded again in the slightly shorter length of 25″ which I think is 7/8 length. It’s definitely not cropped. I’m loving the Black Cherry Down For A Run Jacket II but I prefer it in the banner photos and not so much in the studio thumbnail photos. I wonder what the fit updates are on this.  I would have been interested in the cashmere items but I’m not sure if they are 100% cashmere and for the price of the scarf I’d definitely like confirmation that it’s proper 100% cashmere. The Motionful 7/8 Tight is cute but in the Nocturnal Teal especially it looks exactly like my favorite Athleta tights I got over the summer, the Athleta Mantra Capris .

Last weeks upload post, store photos, guest fit review and fit review.
