It’s cute but I think for a bag it’s a bit of an overwhelming print. I do like the Ombre Plaid prints but they always really overwhelm me. This is made of a type of felted wool so it’s more subdued in person. In this picture it almost looks shiny to me but it’s wooly in person. Does Wool + Luon make a good match??
The Dash Tank: Didn’t love it today but I do think it will be great for larger busts. It’s luon light static. For someone with not a large chest the front can be a little bit plain.
Happy Heart Tank – Very Violet. I think I like this one the best. The straps can be worn crossed or not.
Cabin LS accurate picture of the Heathered Haze. Dreammmmy.
And live simply pants. Made of cotton.
Wunder Under Pants in Coal/Haze. Oh how I wish these are brushed luon…
Chunky Knit scarf in Teal Zeal and Wish Blue
Run Dash LS:
This is the knit I posted about bellow. Also comes in Teal Zeal but I think the Wish is gorgeous.
Description
- Super chunky, super warm 100% cash-feel wool knit mittens
- Cash-feel wool is super soft and provides all natural warmth during colder winter weather
- Texting thumb’ detail so you can stay warm and still stay connected
- Mitten flaps flip up revealing fingerless gloves–so all your fingers can remain functional
- Super long rib cuff keeps the wind out
- Hand wash, lay flat to dry
The Cabin LS detail pictures.
A picture of the front of the tank. there is a bit of seam detailing at the scoop that you can sort of see in the pictures in the bellow post on the plum version in the back straps.
And the Dash Pullover.
Thanks to a readers submission a detail picture of the reflective strip on the sleeves and the ipod pocket of the Dash Pullover.
So this is the very lovely Run: Dash LS in Lavender (or was it Lilac..). This is the Size 10 which felt large in the chest and upper body/arms but because it’s a form fitting running luon I was in no mood to see what the 8 did to my belly. See pictures bellow for why. When/If I get this I’ll probably go for the size 8 but motivate myself to tighten things up a bit. I LOVED this top and loved the ruffles. It’s basically a really great warm LS shirt you can wear out and about, under a vest or jacket and it just doesn’t look like an athletic top save for the little reflective detailing at the outer wrist which is quite subtle. I would love to get this top in a different color though which is why in the end I left without it. I do like the Lilac but I have an Inspire Pullover in Lilac and I need something a little bit different. They had Black and Teal as well but those weren’t tempting me today.
**I also spotted new gorgeous knitted wool gloves, toques and scarves. What made them so gorgeous was that they are thick knit and Wish blue. The wool version of Wish blue is a more muted down wish and it’s very lovely and jewel like. there was also a teal zeal version. The mitts were very long sleeved and were actually half fingered gloves with a mitten top that you can flip on or off. The price on these was not so gorgeous. I think the mitts were in the $60 range. Can’t wait to get some pictures of them to show you. These will go on my wish list for Christmas I think and hopefully my husband can get to his shopping before these sell out (I know your reading this secretly ;p)
The back ruffle is gorgeous. I don’t care what you poo-pooers say!!!
The Cabin LS (size 6) is an awesome top. I love everything about it ( =D surprised??) It’s a double layer of Pima sewn together. Has cuffins and really cute contrast cuff detailing. the contrast seaming I felt was pretty subtle on the blue Heathered Haze side but a but more contrasty on the Coal side and a bit more obvious. I love both sides of this shirt for me. I think my favourite thing was the cuffs which make this look more like a thin sweatshirt then a thick Pima tee. The picture bellow of the Heathered Haze side is not an accurate representation of the color. It actually looks like a lighter version of the Heathered Wish Live Simply Tee. There was also a cotton Live Simply Legging which I did not try on today
Cabin LS in Coal/HAZS
Happy Heat tank ($52) in size 10, Persimmons and Coal. Cute, has adjustable straps that you can wear crossed or not crossed, moderate support with a built in bra. This Persimmons and Coal was the prettiest combination that jumped out at me I liked the gathering at the sides and the bottom is quite roomy around the belly but because of the gathers + luxtreme it pulls it in close to the belly showing all your ugglies (as seen bellow, it does not hide mummy tummy). Although I found this a cute tank I don’t have a need for a tank right now and wasn’t ‘in love’ with it.
saw this one today too. The Dash Tank. It was static thin luon and not running luon
And the front view.
So loving this. It’s nice to have a running pullover option that is more a base layer without a zip up neck.
where are the front view pictures though..
and this lovely message from one of the Lulu pages has me quite excited: lululemon athletica 6th and Lamar We know you love your cozy brushed luon gear (Inspire Pullover, anyone?), so get excited it now comes in the Dash Tank, Dash Longsleeve and (drum roll please…) WUNDER UNDERS!
I love a great window display and always admire Lululemon window displays thanks to my Fine/Graphic Art background. It’s usually the way the outfits are arranged in color combinations that please the eye or sometimes they have a display that makes me think such as manifesto themes (controversial ones), environmental topics, community involvement or something political. This display from Aritzia stores pictured bellow has none of those things and yet it’s captured mine and my daughters attention over the past few weeks. Flying Kitty-Cats! Genius! Whenever were at the mall or strolling by this display we must stop and pst-pst at the kitties on the request of my toddler. And naturally I must stop in to browse around. The display has nothing to do with clothes, and no particular statement. It’s just enchanting, cute and a little bit strange. Here is the link to the Aritzia blog post about their Cat Display. I’ll have to think of a way to show my daughter that cats don’t actually have wings or fly by introducing her to actual cats since nobody in our family has a cat.
Gorgeous! I love the color Haze on my stride as well as the Heathered Wish Blue Live Simply Pima Tee I got the other day so I’m all over the blue reversible long sleeve shirts in Heathered Blue tones. How great that you get two color options. I’ve heard this is a double layer (two layers of fabric) of Pima for extra warmth in the winter.

Not sure what it’s made of but I love the Ruffles.

*Luxtreme available in Black, Coal and Teal Zeal. CUUUTE!
New Pima Long Sleeve called the Cabin LS Tee and comes in Heathered Haze and reverses to Coal. Yummmy!! There is also a white that reverses to Coal. These Pimas are thicker then the usual and are reported to be double thickness. Can’t wait to see these and I’ll report to you guys as soon as I have images.
**Note: I’ll be running new posts under this one today so make sure to scroll down for fresh pictures.
Well now there are a few reports via Facebook of the current batch of Strides (pictured bellow) having seam fray issues which the GEC has not been made aware of. Please take a moment to read through this thread from Facebook and this second one too. If you are someone that has a current batch stride and your having fraying seam issues please post in the comments section bellow my post. If you’ve returned it to a store or have attempted to would you please also post the store you returned it to. Having these issues reported and documented will be helpful in letting GEC know what types of issues are happening and where. I believe the feedback from readers of this blog in the comments section is an invaluable resource for Lululemon. my hope is that this encourages Lululemon to take a closer look at some of the issues we’ve been seeing lately as customers and that they take steps to improve whatever is happening in the production or design stage.
This is meant as a constructive post for Lululemon so please keep comments to just the issue you had with your stride from this batch bellow, the color, the store returned or attempted return. I’m sure Lululemon will make note of each comment and am quite confident that they will take our concerns seriously.
