I love this Run Swiftly Tech SS in Power Purple. I have a Lolo Purple Swiftly SS and I sized up in it to a size 10 for less cling around the midsection. Although I really like it I find I don’t wear it all that often for some reason but seeing this one reminded me I should wear it more. I find I gravitate to my larger Cool Racerback Tanks for warmer indoor treadmill running for some reason.
And the Run Swiftly Tech LS
Here is a product notice for the Fast Forward Jacket. All of the local lower mainland stores got this jacket but it’s not on any of our product notifications so I was curious to see one. It comes in sizes 4-12 and so far I’ve seen it in Black and Heathered Coal.

This is the Swiftly Tech LS in Classic Sports Grey and Power Purple. I’ve always preferred the solid color swiftly’s to the ones with contrast colors added. I think the bottom band of Power Purple is actually a Cool Racerback Tank sticking out at the bottom and not contrast color.
I got a few minutes (very few minutes) today to try on the Fast Forward Jacket and play around with the collar a bit. I tried on both a size 8 and a size 10 and found the 8 was way too snug on me overall. The sleeves weren’t particularly narrow but it was a more fitted jacket. The zipper is metal (poop) and goes all the way to the tip of the collar which is nice because it really allows you to customize the neck. The cotton is very, very soft Cotton French Terry and pretty cozy and elegant. I really liked this jacket but I really didn’t care for it on me. The pockets seemed to sit funny on me in both the size 8 and the size 10 and you can sort of see what I’m talking about in the second picture down. I didn’t care for the jacket unzipped at all and I think this is the type of wrap that you always need to have zipped up and arranged in the most flattering way for you. I also didn’t like the oversized collar laying flat on my shoulders, I much preferred the cowl neck look of the collar up and folded over for me. I would have liked a longer length wrap with a slightly A-lined body instead of a form fitting body that hits at the top of the hips (the body fits like the Define). If lulu could just combine the Fast Forward Jacket zip up oversized collar on the Savasana Wrap (zip from top to bottom) and make the wrap more A line I think it would have been more for me. As for sizing, because it’s a narrower fitting body like the Define Jacket, if your between two sizes I would size up to your larger size particularly if you have a larger bust size.
The Fast Forward Jacket is $118 and comes in grey and black sizes 4-12

This is such a great color, Static Ash. Oops (;p) I called it Static Mid Grey yesterday, my mistake, I thought it looked a lot like Mid Grey. No bother, I like this one a lot and I think the darker grey Coal color blocking of circle mesh works with this one.

Luluacquard print on the photo on the right has lululemon written in the knit. It’s cute but at $138 I think it’s way overpriced. The SE Scuba with the detachable wrists and hood are also reversible Wrist Cuffs and Hoods so you get a variety of looks in one sweater.

I saw these Yoga Dance crops today and at first I thought they were Run: Inspire Crops. I would love a Black Roses Print Run Inspire Crops.
Inner Awareness Tank
Luon light, built in moderate support shelf bra
I really like the white Hustle Tank but I think it’s slightly sheer as you can see in the photo below. I’m wanting to try this tank on in a size 10 to see if it works better for me. I’d like it a little bit longer and looser fitting, especially in the upper chest and back area. The midsection was nicely loose fitting in the size 8. The wide and deep scooped back really balances out with the ruffles on the bottom.

I got to try the Hustle Tank today and I was surprised to really like it a lot. I found it very flattering and comfortable to wear. The cut is A-line so it’s quite loose around the middle and very comfortable but slightly narrower up top around the chest so it’s more like a shift dress in fit. The seams on the front are also very flattering and slimming. The only issue I had with the size 8 I tried on was that it was perfect in fit except for in the back area where it was snugger and showed a bit of bra fat in the back as you can see. It didn’t feel tight at all but I felt uncomfortable with the way that looked, so I think if you have a bigger bust size you may also feel more comfortable sizing up. I also notice this in some of the pictures that have come out today even on the really skinny girls so I don’t feel so bad about myself now. I would try this one on in a 10 and see how the ruffles sit.
I tried on the Poncho Stripe Scuba Hoodie fully expecting to bring one home for a ‘visit’ but I was neither here nor there with it on me. I think I like the plain old solid scubas better on me. These are untextured scubas, they are the same fabric as other scubas which is not what I expected since when you zoom in on pictures of the print it looks textured, but that’s just part of the print and not true texture. I think I liked the muted poncho stripe on me best but I liked the wish blue poncho stripe when I first picked them up. I’m happy keeping my Solid Wish Scuba though so neither of these came home today. The only thing I purchased today were leg warmers (vinyassa on sale for $14) because I had toe surgery this afternnoon and in this freezing cold weather I have to wear flip flops for the next few days. Yuck!!! Unhappy!
You can see what looks like texture in these pictures but it’s actually part of the print and not true texture.
Hustle Tank in Static Power Purple. I also saw it in White today and that one was pretty as well but I’m not in need of a new tank so passed.
I prefer this looser fitting
New Dash Pullover in Static Power Purple and Static Mid Grey. I really like the static mid grey a lot but I’m all run pullovered out. The passion for them is gone I guess.
Black Hustle Jacket. This one is kind of plain compared to the other colors. It’s a great basic but I really fell for the Plum and Coal Shale Print and White/Silver 1/16″ Stripe
New Run Swiftly Tech LS in Dark Classic Sports Grey/Power Purple and Yogi Dance Crops in Black/Power Purple
Poncho Scuba and Luluacquard Scuba ($138!!! that is atrocious!). I’m not a huge fan of Fair Isle type prints (Luluacquard) so When I saw these in person today I did’t really bother to try one on. I’m shocked that the price on these is even higher then other Special Edition Scuba Hoodies. As usual, all we can do is vote with our wallets.
Black Luluacquard Diamond Print & Black Luluacquard Multi Knit.
Live Simply Jacket in Heathered Clarity Grey and Power Purple Luluacquard Snowstar $118.
Poncho Stripe Scubas: Multi Poncho Stripe; Coal Poncho Stripe; Wish Blue Poncho Stripe
Live Simply Crewneck Tee Black Roses Print. This had a different feel to me then the other Live Simply (non heathered) Crewnecks but it is Pima/Lycra. I think maybe this one has a bit more lycra for added stretch then the others. I may go for this if I see it on markdown later in the season.
Fast Forward Jacket (also spotted it in black). I caught a glimpse of it on my way out and I liked it but it didn’t woo me over (for now). I’ll have a better look at it tomorrow though and I’ll probably do a fit report of this one.
Inner Awareness Tank. I saw this last week briefly when the new silver luon items came out but I totally forgot about it.
These Merino Leg warmers have been sitting at the Factory Outlet for the last few weeks so I didn’t expect to see them in stores, I assumed they were something they made and then decided not to release for some reason. When I was there this afternoon they were not in but I slipped in later to pick up my Leg Warmers after the surgery and they were being put out.
I don’t usually pay too much attention to celebrities wearing Lululemon but this one caught my attention and made me happy. This is Jane Lynch from Glee and I absolutely love her character. She’s wearing Coal Dance Studio Pants and they look fantastic on her.
PS. Her daughter is wearing a tee shirt that says ‘training is the opposite of hoping’. Now that’s a great slogan for a kid to wear.
