Modern Crew Neck T

by Cristina August 5, 2010
written by Cristina

Don’t love the two tones and I hate crew necks on me so I probably wont be tempted by these. It’s apparently going to be out in Alarm so that in a two-tone may be interesting for a very sporty look.

*I really like the paneling down the side so I wouldn’t mind if these replace the 5yr Pima’s but I hope they make them one color like the Modern V-Neck T’s. I love the Modern V’s so it would be good if they made each color release in both the crew neck and the v-neck.

New Pants

by Cristina August 5, 2010
written by Cristina

Run: Run Fast Crop
I’m totally excited about these because they look similar at the bottom to the Run: With It Crops I love so much. I’m not crazy about the band of color at the top but I’m sure this would also come in an all black version which is my preference, I wouldn’t mind black with the grey detailing above the butt. Love the upper thigh pocket too and the line detailing. Can’t wait to try these on.

Description
  • The name says it all!
  • Calf length, mid-rise crop designed to reducing bounce while running
  • Power luxtreme™ feels silky smooth, and is light weight with high LYCRA® fibre content, and inherent wicking
  • Inseam moved away from high-chafe inner thigh area
  • Continuous drawcord that won’t come out in the wash
  • Secure pocket on your leg & 2 gel pockets!
  • Mesh paneling in high sweat areas for ventilation

From the sneak peek video, The Cobra Crops. These are cute but I want to see the tan colored ones I saw in the sneak peek video. I’ve got too many black Wunder Under type pants at the moment with the only exception being my Wish Blue ones.

Upload Thursday Musings

by Cristina August 4, 2010
written by Cristina

I’ll be well on my way to Whistler tomorrow morning when the upload happens but that wont be so bad because there is nothing I’m expecting to see online that I haven’t already passed on in stores. It would be nice to see a few hints of the new color pallet of Lolo, River Rock and Senorita Pink (rumored pallet for now) such as a a few CRB’s or Flow Y’s. And what about some 5yr Pima’s??? I can always get my rubber arm twisted for some basics like those in some new colors. I think you’ll probably see all of the running stuff that are currently in stores and maybe the Savasana wraps and WWA’s. Keep your eyes peeled on prices! If you see anything great send me comments so that I can somehow manage to order something while in transit on a train up the mountain ;D I can find a way!

I slipped into Metrotown Lululemon for literally 30 seconds (my husband understands my need to take a peek) while getting some pre vacation errands done and I noticed that the store looked unusually bare with furniture pulled out of the way. My husband was shocked that I came out of the store empty handed but with a huge smile on my face. An empty store can only mean one thing. More things to come soon, very soon.

Gloriously huge Lululemon at Whistler

I’ll be blogging while on vacation if time allows but if I must choose between going for a run or blogging i’ll have to pick the run…unless I’ve seen the Run: Inspire Pullover of course.

And here is a gratuitous shot of a cute Lululemon dog from the Village at Park Royal Store. I love that you can take your furry kids in there too.

Run: Cross Train Pullover – Detail Pic For The Runners

by Cristina August 4, 2010
written by Cristina

Here is a picture that actually shows a smart phone in it. I think it’s a large enough pocket for a smart phone, yet still snug enough that your phone isn’t bouncing all over the place.

Medium rise, looks like the pintucking lifts the pant of your leg slightly which is cute.

Polocross Verdict..

by Cristina August 3, 2010
written by Cristina

EEEK! Well here is your unflattering Polocross picture. First of all these pants come in sizes 2-8 in these parts so that tells you right there that these pants are made for long, lean legs. I think even if you have fuller legs or large butt and thighs you can wear these but you must, must have long legs. I was able to fit in to the 8 quite comfortably and it didn’t feel like the fabric was stretched at all so if you are a 10 don’t let that stop you from trying on the 8. These pants really exaggerated my leg proportions with the slim fit tapering. It’s too bad because I actually liked them and would wear them if they didn’t skew me so bad. As you can tell, I have checked my vanity and ego at the door and am fully prepared to accept ridicule but I wanted you to see how these fit on someone that is not slender in the leg department and quite short. It makes my thighs look big but because of the tapered legs it makes my calves look small and very short. There was a lot of material bunched up at my ankles too. Love the pants, hate them on me. If they were just Denim Wunder Unders with the same pockets on the sides and none of the line details or two toned luon they would have been perfect for me, but then again they would lose that polocross look completely. I tried on the demim ones and they were really soft and stretchy so these made me want to get a pair of Wunder Grooves in denim which I have never even tried on if you can believe. Have you been to the Gap lateley? they have these new jeggings (legging/jeans) that are a material much like luon denim but very, very cheap looking. When I walked past the display before I thought for sure they were jeans material but when I went in to have a closer look I realized that they were actually stretchy legging material made to look like denim. So there you go, your Wunder Unders should get lots of use this fall because the leggings look is still in.

Pin Tuck Wunder Unders

by Cristina August 3, 2010
written by Cristina

I saw these the other day at Metrotown but haven’t found a picture yet to show you till now. These are pretty cute and don’t have that mommy jeans look that some of you are worried about. These are marked a mid-rise and are actually mid rise. I love Wunder Under Crops with these pretty little feminine details.

Some new items

by Cristina August 2, 2010
written by Cristina

I seem to remember a gathered CRB tank out a while ago, maybe last summer that was similar to this one pictured bellow. That one was luon and came in an oatmeal color, and a few other colors that I don’t remember and I must not have loved the way it looked on me because I never got one. I think the gathers were much more exaggerated and went all the way up the back. I like that these ones come in darker greys and are made of organic cotton. I might get the chance to try on the polocross pants tomorrow so I’ll give you my opinion (and my friends objective opinion as well) on the fit on someone that is bigger on the bottom/hips area

Run: Cross Train Pullover – Alarm

by Cristina August 2, 2010
written by Cristina

Sorry about the overkill with so many crosstrain pullover pictures but I like to see these on a good pool of models. Especially in a color I haven’t seen in person yet. This has a detail picture of the pocket which is off on the left side if I remember correctly but it goes to about the middle of your back. It’s a narrow pocket but it’s longer than usual and would fit a Blackberry perfectly which is what I  look for in a pocket on a running top.

Love the tank layered with it. It’s either
Mac’N’Cheese or Lime

Side pocket perfect for ipod, keys & phone
