A new run skirt has made an appearance in US stores today called the Run: For Your Life Skirt. I just got my first run skirt today – the Run: Speed Skirt, and I love it so far so I’m excited about this one. I used to think the whole fad of running skirts was just a silly fashion statement and all about looking cute but I so get it now. You get so much more coverage then you do with shorts or luxtreme and the same airyness you get with shorts. I love that I can now run and not show all my neighbours my serious butt jiggle. My only concern now is with chub rub so I got myself a stick of Body Glyde and hopefully that is enough to keep me comfortable. The only thing that would make the speed skirt that much better is if it had a touch more length in the skirt and the inner shorts. 

Run: For Your Life Skirt

Run: For Your Life Pullover Magnum

I am crazy about this pullover. I’m more partial to running luon pullovers but I love the neckline on this one and the colors it comes in. I’ll have a hard time choosing between Magnum and Royalty 

 Modern Racer Tank Heathered Ghost

I really like Heathered Ghost as a white. It’s a very warm, soft white and a great neutral to have. I’m not sure I can justify one single more MRT but I’d love a heathered ghost CRB or run tank.

Is this one heathered magnum? My favourite grey of all time. I think I love it so much because it’s a mauvey grey. 

A new jacket!

Lavender Grey Dip Dye, Heathered Raspberry, Heathered Rocksteady

And new colors in these items:

Big upload today with a few items a lot of you have been patiently waiting for (Royalty Method Wrap and Modern Racer). I’m feeling tempted by the Silver Bullet LS in Raspberry and the Short Sleeve Silver Bullet but I think I’m going to be strong today and hold out for the cooler weather long sleeves. Hmmm, and how bout those Camel Cargo Pants.

What did you buy today?

**Run Speed Skirt Ghost Snowy Owl Dip Dye Magnum**

I surprised myself and decided to order this skirt today since it was available in Tall length. I only ever wear luxtreme bottoms for running and it’s just been too hot so I was browsing the shorts and decided this may be more flattering for athletic quads then any of the shorts currently offered.

US/International

I’m so sorry I’ve been a very bad blogger lately but during the summer, with the poor weather we’ve been having, it’s hard not to take advantage of every sunny day we get. It’s sauna like 16*c today (note the sarcasm) and so I’m sitting out on the deck trying not to shiver under the one patch of cloudless sky. And I’m also really sorry if I’ve missed responding to your email. I try to keep on top of responding to everyone (I do read everything that comes in) but the volume is pretty big and for some reason my iPhone 4 can’t seem to batch delete emails (something about pop-live servers) so my inbox is an exponentially growing disorganized mess that torments me. Anywhoo, lots of goodies this week. I would have liked to have added both the Triumph Tote and the Destiny Duffel in this lineup but all of the product alerts are dead links for these items. So silly! 

Rocksteady Silver Bullet SS

Run Silver Bullet Tech LS

I really love the Silver Bullet LS in Raspberry but it’s just too form fitting for me and too cool for cooler weather running so I passed in favour of the tank version. I may give way to temptation tomorrow and just order it anyways. Just to be in with the cool kids. 

Run Silver Bullet Sleeveless Tech Magnum, Royal, Dewberry and Black (or heathered black?)

I got this one in Magnum and I really, really love the color. It’s not a boring old grey but a very warm, mauvy grey. The Magnum and Royal are the ones with the reflective design on the front and the other ones have no design. There are a few details about the design that may make this a pass for some of you, namely the deep neckline and the big armholes, but I don’t mind that since I pair it with my energy bra. While the top portion of this tank is quite relaxed fitting, sizing down was not possible for me because it would have been too snug around my hips and would have caused the top of the tank to bag out funny. It doesn’t have the cinch cord on the bottom and baggier fit like the Run Energy or I Just Wanna Run Tank but I was in the market for a tank this style and I’m quite happy with it. The reflective detailing makes this such an ingenious running tank. 

Run Dash Tank

Riding Jacket

Some love this jacket, some hate it. Such is the way with most fashion forward items. I personally can’t see myself wearing it but I do like it on others. This is a snugger fitting jacket and I’ve seen a few images where it was too snug across the back so definitely consider trying on the next size up to compare the fit. 

Warrior 1 Hot Tank

The Om Scarf

Massively large scarf. I’m not too interested in the scarf trend but I suspect this will be a sell out fast and markup on ebay item judging by the popularity of past scarves (Vinyasa, Manifesto) I haven’t heard what the lulu pricing on this but I do know that lulu decided to take the opportunity to mark up the second run of Vinyasa scarves based on the first runs popularity and upselling prices on ebay. Great market research I guess. 

Scuba Hoodie Ghost

I am a bit in love with the Royalty Wee Stripe (or is it Rocksteady?) Scuba Hoodie pictured bellow. I’m feeling very tempted by it even though I will not buy the newly priced scubas and I also don’t wear scuba’s a whole lot so I don’t need more then what I have.   

Solid Royalty

Men’s Domain Hoodie

I was talking with one of my store educators the other day and she was telling me how the Pacific Beach Hoodie was replaced with this Domain Hoodie. Lulu has heard the feedback on the men’s line about how ill fitting the items are for more athletic sized men (ironic?) so the newest items are supposed to accommodate broader shoulders and chests. I will definitely reconsider a hoodie for my husband this year. He doesn’t wear lulu because the fit was all wrong for him (and also because there is a stigma locally for men wearing lulu) so he’s given me the go ahead to buy him some things. He has stated though that he will not go into the store himself to try things on of his volition but if I happen to buy him something and it fits he will wear it. Dork!

Run Speed Skirt Ghost Snowy Owl

The bird/feather, nature theme is really big this Fall across all brands. I really like this Ghost Snowy Owl print a lot but haven’t found the right item for me yet. Maybe a Cabin LS would be nice in this or a scarf. 

Wunder Under Crop

Forgive me, but I am so not a fan of these wonder under crops with this print. It’s the sheen of the polyester combined with the print that draws your eyes down and hugs curves which make me feel that this is not a flattering print execution for most people. 

Power Y Black Space Dye

Really pretty print! If I didn’t have Coal Strata Stripe CRB then I would be tempted by this in a CRB.

Ooooooh this one is super pretty. Super, super pretty!

Scuba Hoodie Rock Steady Gradient Wee Stripe/Rocksteady

The Om Scarf Surge, Raspberry, White

I’m not much of a scarf wearer personally (unless it’s winter and my neck is cold) but I was tempted by last years manifesto scarves and by the Vinyasa scarf hype a few months ago. These ones are really pretty with the ‘message in a bottle’ burn out manifesto and they come in Dewberry, Surge and White. If the price is reasonable I may just bring home the Dewberry one to try out.

Happy British Columbia Day! Kelowna has put out some gorgeous photos of the latest items.

Silver Bullet LS and Royalty Speed Shorts

 Silver Bullet LS 

You can really see the fabric details in these pictures. 

 Super flattering shoulder ruched detailing and neckline.

 This pocket actually fits my iPhone but it’s too heavy for this fabric

 Silver Bullet Tank

This is all I want to wear on my runs now. I may consider getting a second in a different color run. 

One of the features of Lululemon run tanks that I like the best are the tanks with built in iPod pockets. Sadly I’ve never been able to use this feature because they were small and designed for Shuffles or other small MP3’s and all three of the ipods I’ve had have been big. First generation mini ipod was pretty big and then I got an iTouch followed by my iPhone so these pockets always sat unused. I’m excited to see two new items that came out this week with big iPhone sized MP3 pockets.  Now I’m wondering how come my new Run: Silver Bullet Tank doesn’t have one of these handy iPhone pockets. Oops, looks like it does. I’m looking forward to seeing if the fall and winter run pullovers have these pockets, especially the Run For Your Life Pullover that is currently on my wish list.
