Pure Focus Tank & Bandhas Crops

I’m liking the Bandhas Crops a lot as something I would wear to the gym or to yoga specifically but for street wear I’m finding the static coal version busy with a lot of seam detailing, pattern and circle mesh ties at the ankle. In person these crops are very, very cute. They remind me of my knotted wunder unders which I’ve recently rediscovered in my closet. I love the way the circle mesh ties wrap around the back of the calf but you can also wear them tied at the front or on the side.

Back Bend Crops and Modern Racer Tank Tango Red

The Backbend crops are made with a really nice dense feeling luon that reminds me of my Wunder Groove Crops that have stayed like new since last year. I haven’t seen luon like my wunder grooves since then but the weave has a really great feel and if I were looking for crops to use at the gym I would get the Backbend crops soley for that reason. 

Description

• Body skimming, straight leg crop to choose your favourite backbend pose in
• Luon®, our signature fabric: breathable with coverage, cotton-feel, 4-way stretch providing support and allowing freedom of movement
• Smooth & flat waistband, medium rise, slim fit
• Waistband inner stash pocket to secure $ & keys
• Gusset designed for greater range of movement & comfort
• Flat seamed for chafe resistance & comfort

Dance Studio Pants White

I got the Modern Racer Tank in Tango Red yesterday and really, really love the vitasea in them. It elevates the Modern Racer to a much more lux, sturdy tank. I loved the Modern Racer before the Vitasea addition but these are so much nicer. I was also curios to see how the Tango Red paired with the white Dance Studio Crops. I would probably shy away from wearing those two together for fear of looking like I’m trying to be patriotic or too contrasty but I like it in this photo. 

Mind Over Matter Jacket

There are elements I like about this jacket but as a technical running jacket I don’t see the functionality of it as it lacks protection from wind, rain and sun. f It sort of reminds me of the Stow and Go Jacket from last year that was originally priced at around $80-$100 and was later marked down to $19. 

Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket

I liked this jacket a lot when I tried it on. The fit was the same as the Wear With All but a bit shorter in length making this a much more flattering length for shorter people like me. The cotton french terry felt similar to the Movement Jacket which I really like for a spring weight jacket. 

Description

• Sing, floss, and travel in this jacket because it was designed to be the perfect piece for all your daily activities
• French terry is soft and breathable with stretch so it holds its shape
• Long fitted jacket provides bum coverage with tights
• Thumbholes keep your sleeves down and your hands warm!
• Front pockets for storage of $ & keys
• Preshrunk

Run Speed Skirt

Love the Seabed print in Grapeseed. I hope we see tanks in this print. 

Description

• All the technical properties of a short, but we made a skirt instead!
• Lightweight & wicking swift fabric with 2-way stretch
• Inherently wicking luxtreme™ fabric liner with sticky elastic at hem, stops shorts from riding up
• Smooth, wide waistband
• Continuous drawcord won’t come out in the wash
• Storage! Secure back zipper pocket & 2 gel pockets on the front
• Chafe-resistant – flat seams

Reading thru on the Lululemon facebook page, various other fan pages and the My Superficial Endeavors Blog it seems that many people that ordered items from the new Lululemon e-commerce site freshly launched on Friday are now experiencing some shipping issues. Several shoppers have had their parcels shipped to incorrect addresses in different cities entirely. Some customers orders are still in ‘processing’ limbo and still have not received tracking numbers or they have received invalid tracking numbers and have no way of checking on the status of their orders. Hopefully lululemon can correct these issues in a timely manner and make this up to their loyal and  inconvenienced customers so that they have faith in ordering online in the future.

Initially Lululemon suggested we could see more product selection including colors uploaded as early as today if all the ‘hiccups’ of the launch of the new Lululemon e-commerce site were worked out but they have since pulled back and are now hoping to upload colors at some point this week for all of us eager little shoppers. I will post an update to this blog as soon as I hear about when new items will be uploaded online.

Did you experience any issues with your order from Friday? 

Mind Over Matter Jacket

I like this picture best of all. The black pairs nicely with the Split Pea CRB or Rubber Ducky.

Bandhas Crop

Backbend Crop

A reader had a look at this Dahlia Scoop Neck Tank in store today and noticed it was made in Canada. I’ll be madly reading the rip tags from now on in search of the ‘made in Canada’ items. The Polocross Crops that were out last week (a Lulu Lab inspired design) is also made in Canada as was the Black Roses Power Y Tank from December.

Modern Racer Tank Black Citron Tinted Canvas

Updating post, keep checking back..

Chai Time Pullover is back!!! 

This one looks a bit longer then the last version. I wonder if they updated the design. I can pass on this neutral color as I have it in black but I would be mighty tempted in it in a Tango Red. Pink Mist or Grapeseed. I’m a sucker for the jewel tones heathered in the knits.

Mind Over Matter Jacket

I don’t really see much point in a jacket like this. I love my lulu run jackets but a jacket like this will not protect you from the wind or the rain and it doesn’t have enough reflectivity to make it a justifiable extra layer. I tend to err on the side of no jacket in the warmer spring months, even on rainy days. there is no better rain gear then your own skin, as long as your not in danger of becoming too cold. The price for this mesh jacket is $118 and way over priced. Although I really wouldn’t find much usefulness for it at a reduced price either. 

Sing Floss Travel Jacket

I quickly tried this on today in a size 8 and I found it TTS or size down if your between sizes. The material was almost identical to the WWA and the Movement Jacket. The length was longer then the movement but shorter then the WWA so I think this will be a much better length for shorties like me. It had a metal zipper though and that’s a strike for me but in a color that I love this may get wishlisted anyways. I liked the seam details on this and found it very flattering and cozy but I have a few too many jackets and didn’t feel like I needed this right away. 

Scoop NeckTank, Dahlia

This Scoop Neck jumped out at me today because of the color. It’s gorgeous and I really hope we see more items in this color such as the Modern or the Pure Focus or a Cool Racerback Tank. 

Pure Focus Tank in Grapeseed and White

I saw the white Pure Focus today in store and I didn’t care for it in person. It was slightly sheer and I think you would see the cups underneath.

Coal and Tinted Canvas Pure Focus Tank

Heathered Coal? looks almost navy. 

V-Neck Swiftly’s!!

I also tried on the V neck swiftly today and quite liked it a lot. the V wasn’t very deep at all and the fit was the same as the crewneck version. I think the sleeves may be slightly longer which is way more flattering in my opinion, especially if your closer to bingo arms then you are to having guns. I really hope Lulu makes this vneck a core item in the run line. Me likey!

Run Speed Shorts Tango Red

Scoop Neck Tank (Pink Mist?) and White Dance Studio Crops

This is a really pretty scoop neck tank in what looks like Pink Mist and maybe a print in the same color on the lower half like heathered or static. I’ve been wondering if Pink Mist would pair well with White Dance Studio Crops since it’s such a pale pink. I plan on getting the Modern Racer Tank in Pink Mist but want to make sure it will look nice with white and not wash me out or make me look like I’m dressed in Hazmat. 

Sadly it’s not looking like we will see an upload of color today on the lululemon website. It also sounds like they’re having a lot of glitches and bugs to work thru before they do an upload of new items.

Lululemon: “We’re not sure when exactly we’ll see coloured items on the site, but we’re hoping it will be as early as this week! We’ll provide updates as soon as we have them. Thank you so much for your patience while we work through this transition. You guys are amazing, and our tech team is working hard to get you colour as soon as possible!” and, “We won’t be doing any scheduled uploads until the site is fully up-and-running again but we’re hoping to see some new items on the site sometime this week! Until then, we’re rolling with the e-punches and taking the bugs as they come. As soon as we have new information, you guys will be the first to know! Please keep an eye out here, and on our website () for the latest updates.”

Define Jacket Tango Red

I don’t normally gravitate to the Define Jacket but something about it in red really appeals to me. It reminds me of a cute cropped red leather jacket that my sister has and I covet.
