I saw this one in the store today and it was very pretty. I haven’t been drawn to many of the Alarm Items but this one with the white and pencil scribble hood liner is very nice. I’m also liking the logos with the cross hatch stitch background. I think they should keep the old carpet logo for the core items such as the Remix (if they intend to keep those) and the new Scuba hoodies but I like this logo on the newer pieces that are more seasonal.
I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this bra was. I expected it to fit as low cut and tight as the Layer Me bra but actually the size 10 felt like a 10 and was not cutting in at any point. It is a low cut bra, so if your very large breasted it may be a tad uncomfortable but for me (small 36C) it was not too low and I didn’t feel like I was spilling out. The one I tried on came preloaded with cups which is a very good thing for a luxtreme bra. it also has a circle mesh liner which is super silky and nice for a bra liner. If this had come in white I would have snatched one up right away as white would work with all tops. I didn’t get a chance to try it on with a CRB so I’m not sure that the straps would be hidden but I imagine because the straps are cute it wouldn’t look so bad even if it did show a bit. This bra corrects all of the issues I had with the Layer me Bra which I really badly wanted to be able to use. The Layer Me size 10 fit more like a size 6, the bra portion was way too narrow so boobs popped out and the straps digged in at my back because the sizing was all wrong. It’s funny that the week before this came out I had been thinking that a Flow Y in Luxtreme would be really nice for warmer weather layering. I don’t think this bra is as supportive as the Flow Y so even though it’s also listed as a moderate support bra I wouldn’t attempt to run in this, if I did the girls might try to escape out of the top.
Love the Senorita Pink with Grey combo. I thought I wasn’t at all interested in Senorita Pink but with the Static Grey details it’s very striking.

These look really cute at the waist but I always wear longer tops so this part would never show.
For all of you Lolo lovers out there your gonna have a hard time resisting this new Stride.

I stopped in at the Whislter Village Lululemon and unfortunately they didn’t have any of the new items that I’ve been hoping to try such as the Run: Fast Crop, Free to Be Bra and the Fireside items (just for trying on purposes, not to purchase) I showed my husband the picture online of the Run: Fast Crop and he did not like them at all for some reason. He likes my Run: With it Crops very muchly though. SO now I’m thinking of not getting those and waiting to see what other fall run pants come along. I was told by the Guest Educator at that they have two shipments coming in tomorrow, one for stocking before opening tomorrow and I guess the other one would be for either Sunday or Monday.
What I did get today though was the Dance Studio Pants (unlined) in Coal size 8 and he very much approved of those pants. I’m undecided but leaning towards keeping them. I guess I just don’t know if I want the Coal or Black. They both go with everything but I guess I feel like black would be more slimming. What do you, dear readers think I should do? In the last 2 weeks or so I’ve seen lots of these around at Coquitlam and Metrotown so I wonder if new colors are coming in soon. I also picked up a Pig Pink CRB because I really like the CRB’s and pink is pretty universally flattering. Online I ordered the new skinny satin headband in Alarm which I am super excited about. I’ve already got the black one in the thicker style in order to wear out because it’s more of a fancy headband and not so Jane Fondaish. I found though that because of the width of the headband my hair sort of feathered out in an unpleasant way so I always sighed to myself that I wished it was a thiner headband. I use it all of the time for running because it holds my hair back so well (super thick wavy hair – hard to tame and traps heat) and I love it for that but this new one I will use for everyday use. This will be my one Alarm colored item which I love because a red headband will looks so good on dark brown hair, especially a satiny girly headband. Can’t wait to get it in the mail on Monday. Hopefully after I get home from Whistler before it get’s delivered.

I officially love these and I hope I see them while I’m here. I think these will hit longer on me so it may be a really good mild winter running pant. No mesh panels (yes to mesh panels at the bottom) and if I wear it with longerish socks it may just have enough leg coverage. Plus the pocket is too cute!!! I want. this. and a new Run: Inspire Pullover.
PS. the clue was that a store had posted on Facebook that this will be a very “inspiring” August. Sneaky buggers.
Nice idea but, um hello…why can’t we get a longer inseam?? and why is this out at the end of summer and not the start of summer when you will need it for much longer?
It’s called a medium rise but looks like low rise to me.
I love my White Running Bonnet which I forgot to bring to Whistler with me so I may be picking one of these up tonight,
