I went in to check out the Coal version of the Audrey Jacket because I was almost certain I would like that one better. I was hoping the buttons would contrast in some way like the Shark one does, maybe with gold grommet buttons (the ones on the collar) or even a lighter colored inner lining. The Coal has the same dark gunmetal buttons that the Shark one has and it has a coal inner lining so to me the button detailing didn’t stand out enough nor did the inner lining. This picture is a bit deceiving because the light hits the button in such a way that they pop out but when you see it in person they actually blend in to the rest of the jacket. If you like a more monochromatic look than the Coal is very nice. If you like the accents to show up more than I would go with the Shark.

As far as the price goes ($228) I’ve decided that although I would like it to be the same price as the Everyday Yoga Jacket at $178, it’s not that far off from the Bomber Jacket from last year which was about $198 and I feel quite comfortable with it for a metropolitan style jacket. The SE Scuba Hoodies are $128 and the very basic Effortless Hoodie is $78. If those prices aren’t crazy then I think a weather appropriate dressy jacket at $228 isn’t that ludicrous. I can’t compare it to a down jacket or snowboard jacket because they are very different styles of jackets with different uses. Just depends on your lifestyle and what you intend on using it for. If you live in an area with mild winters than there is no point in spending $300 on a 700 fill down jacket but if your in Saskatoon SK where the windchill can be -50 in January but hardly any rainfall than your better off investing in a down jacket. That being said, if the jackets do go on sale as a price adjustment and not loot i’ll be going in and exchanging it for the price difference.

Check out this lovely Helly Hansen wool coat for $900CAN

The Audrey paired with the new Merino Wool items.
Arm Warmers, Toques, Leg Warmers and Scarfs



The Sage Twist Pants. Looks like you can adjust the waist in different ways.

Tadasana Pants on a curvy figure (much like mine) I think it can be done. I’m liking it. I really like that it’s a boot cut that can be tucked into your boots. I’ve tried that with my Stills and Grooves and haven’t liked all the bunched and folded fabric.


And the Coal Audrey. I think I’m going for the Coal. Although I really like the Shark Grey I think the Coal will be a bit more sleek and slimming.

Here is a picture from a different person modeling the jacket also with the buckling in the back. I don’t think it looks too small but what do you think. I’m still hanging onto the tags on mine. I love the jacket but I want to be 100% certain about it on both color and fit before I clip the tags off.

So do you think it’s a size too small on her or is it the style of the back of the jacket??

I love the neck done all the way up. It looks military inspired this way. All the way down it looks more feminine.

This is the inside of the lapel. Zipper closure and also snaps. NOT a metal zipper.



The jacket is very flexible and moveable because of the four two way stretch. I could wear this comfortably while driving.

Very pretty in the River Rock. I like that it’s a higher rise because that will keep the mummy-tummy nice and tucked away.

I’m a big fan of the Modern Crew Neck and V Necks but I really like it in single colors and without the color blocking at the sides. I mentioned last night that the new Senorita Pink one has the grey color blocking and I’m kinda relieved at that because it’s now not on my wish list. Here it is in a new print that looks similar to the pencil sketch but this may actually be a sketch of something and not just a random pattern which is neat. I haven’t decided yet if this is on my wish list or not.

As usual I forgot to include the price in the hang tag picture. Sorry. Also I hope Lululemon doesn’t mind me photographing garments. If so please email me and let me know. I didn’t try these on but there very similar to Astro pants except that the Power Purple and Grey portion of the waist can come completely away from the waist like a faux belt. not sure what the reason is for that construction. It also came in an Oasis/River Rock and Grey waist and the rest of the pants were also black. Both color combinations are really pretty so if your looking for this type of pant give them a try.

Slim comfortable straight leg fit so you can bind with ease

Medium rise, straight leg fit

I grabbed this tank to have a quick look but I didn’t have a chance to try it on and I don’t really like it for me anyways.  If your looking for a tummy hiding loose fitting wicking top than I think this is a good idea. It came in a few colors (river rock, lolo, senorita pink) and this is the Static Charcoal which was the nicest one I thought. The bottom few items in the hang tag are blurry but they state that it’s a moderate support tank with built in cups. The price was $68!!! shocking.

Sorry for the horrible pictures but it’s more just to show the length on me as well as button details for those of you wondering if the quality is the same as the bomber. I’m 5’4 and short legged so I think the length is perfect for me (sorry I don’t have a tape measurer at the moment). The price tag at $228 is totally unfair considering the Everyday Yoga Jacket is $178 and this is pretty much the identical construction. Same inside and same fabric on the outside. Although this is much nicer and dressier so I paid because I’m in need of a jacket. If Lululemon decides to change the price I really hope I get a price adjustment on this.

I chose Shark in a size 8. There getting the rest of the colors later on so I’ll have to see if Shark is still my first choice or if I would like Coal better. What do you think of this color?? There is no hood on the jacket but that’s not a deal breaker for me as I always take hoods off. The size I think is perfect for wearing a Stride underneath but I can’t comfortably put a scuba or remix under it. If your a size 2, the range is 4-12 but I think you could pull off the size 4. It bells out a bit more at the bottom in the size up which is pretty too and you would be able to wear a scuba underneath. This jacket is a zip up and button up, double breasted design. The buttons from the collar down are snaps and they seem pretty sturdy. It looks good all the way open if you don’t mind seeing the snaps and it also looks good just with the big chunky buttons done up. You can also flip the collar up to cover your neck. Over all I think this is a perfect jacket for Vancouver as it’s warm (fleece lined like the Everyday Jacket) and water and wind proof. More to post in a little bit. I have a scoop on a few other items.

Ok, I think my vest is going back asap. This is everything I loved about the bomber jacket last winter but with a much better length. So glad I kept the tags on the vest. This will look so cute with jeans. Hope it’s not a crazy price, I suspect it will be close in price to the vest.
