This is a nice substantial bag. I love the satiny pillow look with the rushing on the front. I also love the little rubber Lulu logo’s on the newer bags and the nice dark metal hardware. This one is going to be gorgeous in the purple. I wonder if the yoga mat straps can be tucked away and hidden when not in use or if it just dangles when you r mat is not in it.
I tore the tags off my Wunder Grooves in Wish/Black and am wearing the Wish side out today (I am at home though)! Along with my Dark Grey Modern V neck. It’s a bit cooler out today so I thought I’d seize the day and wear a crazy color that makes me feel happy.
If you got one of the new Strides or Grooves I think you should also get a pedicure using these Essie Colors:
For Oasis & River Rock:
Turquoise & Caicos Mint Candy Apple
For Alarm:
Vermillionaire
For the Grey’s and Wave Stripe combinations:
Chinchilly
I stopped in at Park Royal today on our way to Ambelside to see if they had the Lolo Purple Scuba Hoodie but they didn’t have it in just yet. I did see the Fouette Tank in Citron and Black. It had some cute detailing in the front that I liked but I wasn’t really all that interested in it because it was too close to the Gather Dance Strap. This one is probably easier for most people to wear where as the Dance strap had the cup issue for people with larger breasts (spill over) and also for me it was a little finicky getting the dance strap on and adjusting the straps to get them to sit nicely so I like the simplicity of the Fouette tank.
As far as the current color palates of Alarm and Oasis, although I do like those colors and Alarm is very flattering on I wish Lulu either had more new items in Wish/Pig Pink or the upcoming Lolo Purple. I can’t believe the amount of color changes that have happened over the last two or so weeks. First we got Wish, Pig Pink and Citron, then we got the greys and stripe patters, then the quilted patterns with the greys, Alarm and Oasis and probably this coming week Lolo purple, Senorita Pink and Citron. Crazy the amount of color changes that happen with Lululemon. Almost hard to keep up with them. I think that’s why I feel so drawn to the greys. It’s much easier to commit to greys, whites and blacks because they work with every other color that transitions so quickly. I think I’m on a color strike now (except for Wish) because I usually fall in love with every color that comes out.
This is a pretty accurate picture of the long sleeve. I think it’s TTS and has a similar fit to your short sleeve Pima Shirt, unlike the Modern V-Neck. The cotton is pretty thin and silky too which is nice if your layering but keep in mind that the white can be a bit sheer which I’ve found with my short sleeve.
The skirt seems to be poofier than Run: Tracker Skirt which is currently in Loot. The bonus I guess is in the chamois and the inner pocket and the reflectors. I also think this one is an inch or two longer so I wonder if these can be worn a little flatter for more leg coverage or poofier if you like it that way.
Inside of the skirt
This is a 10 minute long video that’s worth watching all the way through, particularly up till just before the six minute mark (approx) and the last 2 minutes. Noteworthy is a Special Edition Cool Racerback in Lolo purple (?) with a mesh back (looks like the back is mostly mesh or half mesh), and a brand new material tank (circle mesh blended with silveresence) made to fit over the Tata tamer, this tank looked like River Rock. Also there was a Pima t-shirt with a black body contouring print on it which I didn’t much care for very much. I would love to see a Pima with the prints they had last year with the orchid, dancer and the bird. Those were beautiful and I never got the chance to get one. The last bit of the video shows 2 new bags, one in the color Ivy which is so pretty (army green but more saturated and green) and another huge bag in Purple (Dahlia maybe?) that reverses into a smaller bag. That is an engineering marvel of a bag I tell yah!
Thanks to my Anonymous reader for pointing me in the direction of this video 😀
fall 2010 sneak peek!- extended version (10:23 min) from lululemon athletica on Vimeo.
has been released. more evidence that the run pullover in Lolo will be out soon, very soon. Possibly Monday?
I bought a true to size (10) Flashback pullover but because I hear so many mention on Facebook that they have sized down in it I went and tried on an 8 in this today just to make sure. My verdict is that if you have bigger hips you should stay TTS because what changes is really the band around your hips and not at all the looseness in the sweater. If you have narrow hips than you should size down one because you really want this to be snug fitting around your hips but baggy everywhere else. I think even as I size down to an 8 in pants I’ll still want this in a 10 because my hips are always wider no matter my weight. Something I love about this sweater now is that initially I was concerned about it not being a zip up and the logistics of nursing and having to pull the sweater off every time. Because the neck is so wide I don’t have to take the sweater off at all so this is good. And I think when I wear this I’ll be wearing a Flow Y under it and not a tank or t-shirt because I just get too hot otherwise.
I found long sleeve Pima’s at Metrotown today in Black and White and they are super thin and soft just like the short sleeves so probably good for layering. I rarely wear long sleeves though because I hate them bunching up under whatever is over top of it.
Got the Wunder Unders Black/Wish Blue in size 10 and am hanging on to them because I’m on the fence about it. I’ll be returning the 8’s I think. I just don’t know about these. Maybe I like them on other people but not me.
Mindful Shorts try on report: Size up! the issue with these is that there low rise but have a large waist band. For my the size 10 dipped to much in the front right at my bikini line (bellow the band part). The short’s part were actually a good enough length on me and I liked the wide leg but the bikini area just didn’t work for me…probably could have been corrected with the 12’s.
For those of you in the mood for a hot fleecy sweater, the new scuba hoodies are out. This got my attention because we got the sneak peek for these last week…so does this mean that the new running pullover is just around the corner too? Uggg, I want it so bad but I don’t want to get it in the summer because it means it’ll sit in my closet for months. but If I don’t get it will be gone in a week. I saw some Lolo purple items in store today (tata tamer, 3 pack socks, head bands and hair ties, single socks) so they are quickly changing the pallet over…Common Lulu, just wait a bit for the running pullover because I’m not ready to buy it yet and I don’t want to miss out.
SCUBA HOODIE! It’s back baby, and in a big way!
-Longer sleeves with thumbholes
-Double layer ribbing along the side and under the arms for a slim, custom fit
-Neck extended forward for more wiggle-room!
