Some great action shots of the new Lean In Crop and Lean In Tank. You can see how the crops look here on someone with taller proportions.

What did you guys order? I’m loving Royal blue which is funny because I was completely disinterested in Blazer Blue, Blueberry and Midnight Navy (and all the others this past winter). This morning I purchased the Royal Blue Sculpt Tank II but am undecided if I prefer that one over the Royal Blue Swiftly Tech SS. For the upload I ordered the Sun Setter Bra which is a new style of bra for me, but it occurs to me that that bra will look great under several dressy tanks and tee shirts I have for the summer time, so I decided to see how it looks in person. I ordered the three colors but I will likely just keep black. I’m also eyeing up the printed bottoms in the black Sun Setter Bra photo – I’d love to see those in a hi rise wunder under crop, or a run crop of some sort. The Sun Setter Crop in Royal also interests me but I didn’t order because I think it’s really limited in what tops I can wear with it. I’m also loving the Lean In Bra but I can tell that it’s going to be limited to A-B cups. I really like the style though so I will reserve total judgement until I’ve tried it on. I know these colors aren’t bright and vibrant jewel tones but Royal, Deep Forest, Black Grape, Quicksand and Deep Currant are all very springy colors to me. Much better than White/Black/Navy.

It’s a miracle I got this Fit Review in today folks, my camera battery was flashing red and almost completely drained!
I really didn’t like the look of the Lean In Tank hanging on the hanger, because it looked very cropped. When I tried it on I was really pleased with how feminine it is and not so boxy. Although I do still find it quite short, it’s flattering with a higher waisted legging. It’s also very cool and airy despite the fact that it’s a double layer tank. I would have considered this for purchase in another color but my store only had it in black and white. This is my TTS 10 and it’s roomy, but slightly cropped. The crops are cute as well and the perfect ‘cropped’ length for my short 5’4/short legs. If you are taller or longer limbed you may find these too cropped.
I liked the burn out mesh detail on these. I do worry about how delicate it is but it’s very pretty and soft. It’s a much nicer looking mesh than their overdone completely sheer mesh panels.
The short sleeve was the opposite for me from the tank. On the hangar I loved this one and was sure I would be walking out with it, especially since it comes in purple. When I tried it on I was so disappointed at how unflattering the cut of this oversized tee is on my proportions. This is very much the shape of a football tee, so you really need long limbs to pull this look off. If you are short like me it will totally overwhelm you. I liked that it was soft and airy, and I liked that the front was solid without burnout mesh but the rest of the sleeves and back was the burnout striped mesh pattern. TTS 10 – but loose fitting.
Another one I wanted to love. This would be very cute over a white tank top. My only nit with it is the dropped sleeve. I’m not in need of a long sleeve going into summer, especially since I already got a Dark Grape UPF LS, but this is a nice option. Roomy TTS 10.
I LOVED Royal in person so I came home with this Sculpt Tank. I actually preferred the look of the Swiftly SS in this color, but the Sculpt Tank is much cooler for warmer weather workouts. I’m looking forward to seeing more items in this color.
I made a mistake in picking these two swiftly items out. I normally size up in anything Swiftly and I accidentally grabbed my regular size, so I wasn’t happy about the fit around my middle, but I otherwise loved both of these. I may order the Swiftly SS in Royal when it uploads.
I believe this Swiftly Tech LS is ‘Black/White Stripe’ but in person it has a touch of mauvy-pink undertones. It’s nice and soft but thicker than the solid color ones which I find softer, silkier and stretchier. I think most people prefer these thicker ones though.

Some interesting store photos of the new Lean In Crop, and Lean In Tank. These almost look like they have silverscent threads in them which reminds me of my favourite Run For Days crops. I really wish Lululemon would re-release those.
Hey guys! A wonderful reader has just tipped me off that she’s been trying to leave a comment all weekend and my blog hasn’t allowed her to leave it. I thought it was really weird that there have been no comments this weekend when usually there is a lot of chatter amongst yourselves wether or not I have new content. I have been working on my blog all weekend behind the scenes and I think I did something to disable comments somehow (silly moster avatars instead of mystery man avatars), but I think I’ve now fixed it. Would you mind helping me out by leaving a comment (anything at all) in the comments of this post? I really appreciate your help on this. If you have any issues at all leaving comments, please let me know by emailing me, or via carrier pigeon.
**Thanks for your help! It looks like comments are running smoothly again. Since this has turned into a discussion post I just wanted to mention the Lululemon Reviews Group on Facebook has several male members and I was really excited to see them sharing fit suggestions with each other today. I love that!! I love that the group is such a great resource for fit recommendations and very honest reviews. If your significant others, or brothers or male friends are also into Lululemon and would like to join the group, let them know it’s there!
The Lululemon Australia upload is finally up! I’m glad I didn’t stay up until midnight for nothing. A few things have caught my eye, but what I’m most excited about is Royal.
This is such a gorgeous knit sweater. I think we may have had this sweater in North America at one time, but not in a knit fabric like this. I’m thinking this is merino wool, but the website has a glitch and it’s not showing what the fabric is. This is Australia’s winter so we won’t be seeing this until at least August, going into our fall.
I am a blue fan and I haven’t loved lululemon’s most recent bland blues (1000 variations of navy), but this Royal color is very exciting. I’ve seen this shade of blue in some luxury handbags this season, and it’s so gorgeous. I’ve got the Sculpt II Tank in this color on my wish list, and definitely a Swiftly Tech LS.
Wunder Under Tight ‘Mineral Deposit Lunar Eclipse Royal’
A new speckled, textural, jacquard looking print. I love the colors in this but I’m not sure I like the print. I’d have to see it in person to see if it will be flattering. I wonder if it’s a knit texture or smooth.
We did get the Train Times 7/8 Tight in North America last Tuesday but I’m not sure we got it in this Wee Are From Space print.
Ebb To Street Tank ‘Deep Forest’
Since I’ve not been buying Cool Racerbacks anymore after being replaced by the CRB II, I’ve been more open to wearing other tank styles. I have an old Ebb To Street Tank in cornflower blue that I really like so I may pick this tank up.
I was really excited about this tank, especially since it comes in Deep Forest, but why does the back have to be so much shorter than the front?

I think I forgot to post about this event for those of you in the US. Lululemon is having it’s first warehouse sale of the year in Dallas, Texas May 19-21. The location is Fair Park, Centennial Hall 1001 Washington St. Dallas, TX 75210. The hours are 8am-8pm, 8am-8pm and 8am-6pm. I went to the Vancouver lululemon warehouse sale in 2013. I don’t find the prices at the warehouse sales that far different from the online WMTM markdowns, but the difference is that there is a ton more inventory, and the prices drop on the last day. I did the Nordstrom Vancouver Warehouse sale this year (amazing!) and I hit it up over several days so I do have warehouse sale shopping tips for you.
Tips for Warehouse Sale Shopping
- Comfortable shoes! You are going to be on your feet for at a minimum 3 hours, not counting the amount of time spent in line.
- If you can take the Friday off work to attend, that would be my pick. Friday, and then Sunday for the price drops. Saturday will be mayhem.
- wear leggings so that you can try pants on over without stripping down in a communal fitting room. Shoes that easily slip on and off are a bonus too.
- Dress cool. You are going to get very hot once you are inside thanks to the shopping workout, and the crowd.
- Don’t bring a bulky jacket. If you have a jacket that can easily be stashed in your handbag, that is the jacket to bring.
- Wear a crossbody handbag if you can. It’s way better to be hands free. I wore my crossbody bag on one day of the warehouse sale and was very happy I did. Another day I wore my shoulder bag (neverful) and it was a terrible idea. My shoulder was sore by the end of it, and I was constantly fussing with it while holding on to clothing.
- Bring credit and debit cards with photo ID. Lululemon will not be accepting cash or gift cards at this sale. Sales are final.
- Get a ride to the event or use Uber, Lift or Dart. Parking will be a nightmare and you do not want to spend time circling the lot while you could be taking your place in line.
- Stay hydrated!!!!! I get so dehydrated at events like this and it’s because I want to avoid going to the washroom and having to leave my pile of items before paying. Hydrate the morning of and take care of washroom breaks before hand, and then scope out the bathroom situation once you are in. It’s even better if you are shopping with a buddy that will hang on to your items. I sound like such a granny worrying about bathroom breaks but you really don’t want to lose an item you’ve picked out because of a bathroom situation.
Let us know if you are going and if you attend, share your finds in the comments here. I’d love to know how the event is. Have fun!
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect non casual, yet still comfortable summer sandal that I can wear with dresses, skirts or jeans, and I’ve discovered them today in Sorel and Ugg Sandals. I have an upcoming trip to Las Vegas and so I really wanted a very comfortable pair of sandals that I could dress up a bit and yet still walk all day in. I have lots of casual sandals like Birkenstocks, and Olukai flip-flops, and my Adilette slides, but I wanted something more ‘cute’. I’d probably never wear any of these to a very fancy dinner out, but this category of comfort sandal really hits the mark for summer BBQ parties that are casual and laid back.
I really loved the Sorel Joanie Wrap sandals and ended up bringing these ones home. I think the neutral taupe color will pair really nicely with a lot of my dresses and skirts and I can see myself wearing these a lot through the winter. I was really impressed with how comfortable the Sorels are – they feel like running shoes! I have a few old pairs of Ugg Sandals which I’ve always found really comfortable but I think the Sorels have much more cushioning and softer leather. I liked the black and tan pair a lot on me but the taupe was the more practical choice for matching purposes. I tried these on in my regular size 9, and an 8.5. The 9’s where perfect but the only pair of the taupe in store where very broken in and loose so I tried on the 8.5’s and I liked those better. I may check another store for the 9’s, but if not I think the 8.5’s will work out just fine.
These Ugg sandals where very cute in both colorways but unfortunately they where sold out of my size 9, and the 8.5’s where way too short for my foot. The soles of these where very comfortable but the leather is stiffer than the Sorels – and for that reason they are slightly dressier and less casual.
These Sorels where not the prettiest but holy, where they ever soft and comfortable. Of all the ones I tried on today these where the most comfortable. I think I may have considered these more in a taupe color but this one had too much black and was too heavy a look for me for this style of shoe.
What do you think? Do you like Sorels and Ugg sandals? Have you ever owned a pair?

Did you guys order anything from WMTM this morning? I notice the Love Crew Namaste*Expressions got marked down. Another good find in there is the Going Places Hooded Jacket. I got the Going Places Hooded Jacket discounted on the Women’s Day discount shop and I’m really glad I did. Having had it for a few months now I’d say it’s worth it at full price even. I’m interested in the Sole Training Tank in Illuminight and the Daisy Dust Illuminight Pace Rival Crops and maybe this Swiftly Tech LS Crew.

I LOVE this photo of the new Deep Forest Train Times Crop!
Wunder Under Pant Hi Rise 7/8 Tight Aerial Drift
I haven’t had a chance yet to try on the Aerial Drift print bottoms. Have you? I’m curious about wether or not the print stretches out a bit at the knees.

Wunder Under Pant Hi Rise Aerial Drift, Sculpt Tank II Pop Orange
I would have never considered pop orange as a color that would pair well with Aerial drift, but actually it looks really great. I love this combo. Have any of you tried on the Aerial Drift WU’s yet? I meant to yesterday but the Enlite Bra portion of the try-ons took a lot of time.
My enlite bra order from yesterday is due to arrive today. If you read the review post from yesterday you know that I was sized into a 32E (different from my usual 36D) and unfortunately the store didn’t have that size, only it’s sister size 36D. I decided to order it online so that I could try on the size they suggested for me for accuracy, and to practice hooking the bra closed. I was interested to read yesterday that the material used for this bra is spacer fabric. Man, they are using spacer fabric like crazy this past year!
