I’m liking the brimmed toque in black. 

CRB Very Violet. Initially I didn’t like this one because of the double side colors but two things are making me reconsider. I really like the feel of this CRB compared to the others. It feels a lot like the Lilac Inspire Pullover in it’s thinness and it’s not quite as static as some of the other colors that have come out. I like that on the back where it’s solid Very Violet it’s edged in static Very Violet so there is a good visual transition between the two textures. Ok a third reason is because I got the Very Violet Brisk Ear Warmers that are trimmed in black and I love that combination. The color looks fantastic on brunettes so I think I need something that I can wear with because other then black and greys I’m not finding too much in my closet that matches it. The Teal Zeal looks ‘good’ with it but sort of skiddles-ish (as my friend likes to say) so although they look pretty next to each other in the closet I don’t think I can pull of wearing them together out.

The Express Yourself Wrap in Wish Blue is so lovely but I’m really unsure on the shape of this wrap on me so I need to try it on today. I also don’t love the Cashmere Rayon blend. It’s plenty soft but I’m just not gentle enough with my cardigans and I’m sure I would get major pilling on this. I have a few silk cashmere cardigans that I’ve worn to bed during the winter so that should give you an indication of how much I ‘love’ my clothes. 

Now that I see the jacket modelled, this is what the size 8 looked like on me and I felt it was sort of too small to wear much under it. I had on my Inspire Pullover and felt constricted so my preference is to go one size up. I’ll try the 10 on today and let you know how that one fits. The length was the same as the POM vest and the entire inside was Senorita Pink (now I’m wondering if that was actually Fruity Tooty). It has the Satin finish of the Daze Peace of Mind vest and this is DWR and 750 Fill for $228.

Really great hood on this jacket. Looks nice and has great coverage.

I like the middle stretch panel in the back. My Huff vest has that and it makes for good movement.

I love this Wish Blue Express Yourself Wrap with the Static Wish CRB underneath. I haven’t loved the Express Yourself Wrap enough before to be tempted by it but I am in Wish.

More pictures of the Stand Strong Tank in Wish Blue. I plan on trying this on tomorrow. Very cute in Very Violet (pictured in earlier post).

Static Charcoal/Very Violet Stride. I wish the colors were reversed on this so that the Very Violet was the main color. Or a solid Very Violet would have been nice.

And a detail shot of Wish/MOPS Stride

And here is a shot of Persimmons Cool Racerback. It’s quite a peachy orange. 

Strides have just been uploaded online. This one is Coal/Black Roses print and the other is Wish/MOPS.

Lots of new items in store today and sadly I couldn’t gather everything up for you today but here are the most notable items. bear with me as I add to the post.  I was tempted by the Power Y only for the color but put it back and decided to be patient. I ended up getting a Very Violet Brisk Ear Warmer. I’m kind of neutral towards very violet except for when it’s trimmed in black and then I love it. I love the ear warmers as headbands as it holds everything back without kinking or giving me headband hair and it looks really nice on when you have very, very thick wavy hair. Most headbands have trouble standing up to my mop.  Not pictured here are static Wunder Under pants in Static Plum. I think you have to be brave to wear those.

Express Yourself Wraps in Wish & Plum. Very Yum!

Peace Of Mind Jacket *Satin Finish (Daze) $228Not a bad price for a 750 Fill jacket. The size 8 was too small on me but I could tell that the jacket was not at all michelin man like on me so I will wish list it for now.

Cute pocket detail on the upper shoulders. 

Stride in Static Charcoal and Very Violet. Also spotted the Wish and Poncho Stripe one. Cute enough but not my cup of coffee.

Stand Strong Tank in Very Violet. Comes in Wish and Haze as well.Not gross grain ribbon detailing as I thought but interesting seam detailsnot sure how comfortable it will be on your back for mat work -$52

Also spotted a Solid Define in Very Violet.

Cool Racerback in Static Wish (front and back). Didn’t love the feel of this so I put it back. I also spotted the Very Violet CRB which was solid Very Violet in the back (not my favourite idea). That one had a nicer feel to it (thinner?) but sadly it was suffering identity crisis. I wish this CRB was more like the Power Y pictured below.

Power Y in matte Static Wish with Wish Straps. Very, very tempted by this and wish the Cool Racerback came in a matte Static Wish with piping in solid wish. 

Persimmons Cool Racerback. Also saw a solid Define in Persimmons and headbands. Don’t care for this color for me. I saw a Static Charcoal Define with the Persimmons details on it.

or is this new? This is in a Halloween album and it piqued my interest because it appears to be Teal Zeal and it’s quite simple yet feminine like the Ariel Tank Pictured below which I quite liked.

Ariel Tank

I think I need a trip to the lab this Monday to check out these new pieces. Anyone care to join me?

At Ease Jacket – $128


And my favourite are the At Ease Tights -$118

This is a new tank in Haze (or Lilac?) and Wish which is such a lovely color. To me it looks like this is a simplified version of the Centred Pose Tank. Are those Grossgrain ribbon details on the front? I like that it’s not so busy. I almost think this is luxtreme based on the slight sheen where it’s bunching around her middle.

This tank is in fact Power Luxtreme!

I wasn’t a fan of this tank in other colors and I still don’t care for the extra straps in the back, but in Lilac this tank is much, much prettier. I’ve even warmed up to the linear detailing on the front and back as well as the sweet heart detailing at the bust.

This Lilac Scuba has officially been wishlisted. If only Lululemon.com had a wish list option in place for this Christmas.

Teal Zeal Push Ur Limits Tank. I don’t think I’ve seen this in stores yet. For me this is a size up tank, but then again I feel that way about most if not all Luxtreme tops.

All one solid color. I prefer the solid ones as I find the shape itself is quite flattering but some prefer the contrast straps. My all time favourite one has been the Citron which I missed out on when it went on sale.
