Dear World,

by Cristina June 16, 2011

I’m proud to be a Canuck fan and a Vancouverite and so disappointed that our home was taken hostage last night at our most vulnerable simply because we were all united in our hopes of winning the Stanley Cup. The people who took our city hostage last night were no Canuck fans and no hockey fans. Simply people that planned to terrorize us with anarchy and chaos. 

Vancouverites are coming together to help clean up, and we are doing everything we can to help the police identify the ones responsible by submitting photos. 

The real Vancouver, 15000 people helping to clean up

Manifesto LS Now In Canada

by Cristina June 14, 2011
written by Cristina

Still no product alert images of the Manifesto LS but Canadian stores (Chinook, West 4th) are now showing facebook pictures of the top in both White and Black/White. I’m not personally a fan of this top but it has been flying off the shelves in US stores so if your dying to get this I would try to get to a store. I’m not sure that this will be uploaded on Thursday but you never know.

Calm And Cozy Sweater is Back!

by Cristina June 13, 2011
written by Cristina

Readers are reporting sightings of new Calm and Cozy Sweaters in US stores (westport, CT). Heathered Plum (dewberry maybe?), Concord Grape and Black as well as a Heathered Iris like color. Earlier this year I lamented that the Live Healthy Wrap in Heathered Iris was so pretty but what I really wanted was a heathered iris Calm and Cozy instead. Now I may feel tempted by it but I’m thinking I’m going to pass on it since I got the Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket (not much of a summery purchase) and I’m not sure I want to get a second warm sweater in the middle of summer. We’ll see…I may be tempted none the less.

Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket: Heathered Navy

by Cristina June 9, 2011
written by Cristina

I happened to be in a fitting room today with really great lighting and I was wearing my most favourite jacket ever, the Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket in Heathered Navy. I took the opportunity to catch an accurate picture of the color for those of you still wondering about it since it’s been pretty hard to capture the correct color. Man I love this Jacket!!

Upload Thursday Eve

by Cristina June 9, 2011
written by Cristina

The big news for this weeks product drop was the Energy SL and the Manifesto LS and some new colorways for previously released items such as the Deep Breath Tank and the Circuit Tank. I got my Heathered Navy Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket earlier in the week and so I’m pretty much set unless for some reason lulu decides to make a Heathered Navy Modern Racer Tank which I doubt they will and since I feel so burned  with my Savasana Wrap (paid $118 only to see it marked down to $49 two weeks later..and then $29 at the FO on game day!) I’m in no rush to make more purchases. 

I tried on the Let It Loose Tank Surge The other day and really liked it. The fit was a lot nicer on me then the No Limit Tank was but in the end I passed because I have the Pure Focus Tank already and don’t need another sheer luon flowy tank for the summer. The luxtreme bra with sheer luon overlay is a dreamy combination though, If your considering that for tomorrows upload I recommend you go for it. I also am really loving my SFT Jacket and just wish it wasn’t too hot out to wear such a jacket (no I’m not wishing the sun away!). I’m sure that will be uploaded tomorrow as well for those of you waiting for it.  

I think what I love most about the SFT Jacket compared to the old WWA Jacket is that the WWA had panels of fabric on either side of the zipper on the inside of the jacket and it always showed thru on the outside (and also was an area that tended to fade where it created a ridge). The SFT Jacket however has a lovely grossgrain ribbon instead of the fabric panels. I also find the SFT much more contoured to the waist and shorter in length then the WWA so you don’t get that tubular look.  My top three purchases since January have been the SFT Jacket, Modern Racer Tanks and the Pure Focus Tanks. 

As for the Manifesto LS, I haven’t seen any images in my product alerts this week from any stores (I’ve heard of one person who has seen it in her PA), and Vancouver area stores have not received these. I wonder if this is an exclusive to certain location item and will not be available everywhere. Hopefully for those of you that are hoping to buy this it gets uploaded tomorrow but my hunch is that it wont be. 

What are you hoping to buy tomorrow?

White Manifesto LS

by Cristina June 7, 2011
written by Cristina

I’m not sure I like the seam detail that runs across the top of the bust and in the upper back. I’m not sure why it’s there but it seems silly to add that kind of seam detail with a busy print. It’s priced at $68 which is cheaper then last years $88 Manifesto V Neck  but $68 is still quite pricey for a garment that requires a disclaimer telling you to be careful because the material is so fragile. This one is burned out text as well and my shirt from last year ripped within it’s first wearing despite the fact that I was being super careful putting it on, sized up one full size for looseness and hadn’t even washed it yet. Buyer beware on these ones.
