lululemon runderful long sleeve Archives

Hello Everyone!

I am ABSOLUTELY adoring every single thing at Lululemon right now! I picked out a few items, and I’m going to talk about them here, and on YouTube, where you can find me too!

The first thing I want to chat about is the new “Swiftly Speed Racerback
Shine.” Now, I totally admit that it is a gimmick, but I think the *Shine* fabric is SOOOOO cute! Plus, they did a really good job with it too. I don’t know if you’ve ever touched items by other brands that have tried to include a shiny fabric in their weave, but usually it is gritty in texture and not pleasant to the touch. While I wouldn’t say that what Lululemon achieved is perfection, I will say that I hardly noticed the fabric the other day when I wore this to the gym, and that it does feel mostly soft to the touch.

The Sculpt Tank 2 offerings right now are cute, and I just want to quickly mention them, since I’ve spotted some on sale for half off(!) locally. Even though, I do prefer the Sculpt tank 1’s, I still enjoy the fit and feel of the new Sculpt tanks, so here’s a couple I had picked up- note: they’re not on sale online yet- I bet they will be come Black Friday/Cyber Monday

The next thing I wanna talk about IS on sale (YAY!) and that’s the Fast & Free Crops! I love the little bit of reflectivity on the base of the calf & the sheer comfort of these. It’s one of those items you forget you have on, and Lululemon has made these perfect for the gym. I wore them the other day and never had to pull them up once! I might get another pair, since they are on sale, and I did enjoy the experience of these. No zipper pocket or cute ruching at the base, so not exactly like the Speed tights, but similar.

I also want to talk shorts: Align vs Fast & Free. I really like both of these, but I think they have different purposes and are for different people. If you like Yoga, you might want to go for the Aligns. If you’re planning on wearing them jogging, then I’d go for the Fast & Frees. Bottom line though: As we know, Nulu fabric just isn’t going to stand the test of time the same way that Nulux is, so if you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck, pick up the Fast & Frees. However, the aligns are crazy soft… So, if you love that feeling, you might want to grab the Aligns instead- or as well.

As we all know, I simply can’t have enough Rulu in my life, and the Runderful Long Sleeve is simply gorgeous this year. It is a form-fitting long sleeve with reflective details on the sleeve and includes the thumbholes and cuffins we all love. I like the black and am into the Camo- but I would love to know what the knotted Jacquard feels like, I wonder if it is as soft as the other colors?

Next up: Align Super High-Rise Pant 28″ Velvet

Oh my goodness are these ever SOFT! I think the velvety goodness adds a little holiday flare, which, basically does preclude them from use at other times of the year, unless you don’t follow rules like that in which case, rock on, you rebel! I love them. They’re so cute & soft & fun and I want them all. But I do think the Garnet is particularly nice. Here they are in black though:

My FAVORITE Fall item over the last 3 years has been the Ready to Rulu pants. They’re Rulu, so comfy, comfy, comfy! They remind me of the Base Runners of old. Big pockets, great colors, comfortable, good quality- I even used to wear my black ones to the office, yes, really! They’re amazing!

Next, we have a very giftable item, the Fast & Free backpack. These little things are great! Anti-bounce for those long runs, and hydration-pack compatible: hello CamelBak, Lululemon is coming for you! LOL Jk. Everyone can use a little backpack for runs- but the price is a little luxury at $128, so I’m sure whomever you gift it to will feel super special!

Honorable mention to the Perfectly Oversized Crew. Perfectly oversize, and perfect for chilly, lazy days. I can totally see myself wearing this over the holidays. It’s comfy & cozy, and will fit over basically any other top, so it’s good for to & from as well. Otherwise boring, this would actually make a good gift.

Thanks so much for stopping by! And if you made it to the end…. why not come visit me on Twitter? See you over there!

What do you think of my picks of the season? Let me know in the comments below!!!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to take some time to talk about some new favorites and some items I am simply not digging. Enjoy!

So happy that Lululemon has some surprises in store for the holiday season. Here’s a pretty:

Scuba Hoodie Rip Wave Purple Thunder Black — Scuba Hoodie in Rip Wave Purple Thunder Black

Here’s another:

Scuba Hoodie in Frozen Flourish Multi: Black — Scuba Hoodie in Frozen Flourish Multi Black

I was so happy to see the return of the Runderful Long Sleeve. This sold well last year, and the fitted design is both flattering and feminine.

Heathered Stony Grape Runderful Long Sleeve

I mentioned that I was interested in these in a previous post and wanted to show you them. These Wool Swiftlies are great. I bought one in Black Cherry and it was exactly what I was looking for: a slightly warmer Swiftly with the same look and a slightly more luxurious (soft) feel.

Swiftly Wool 1:2 Zip — Swiftly Wool 1/2 Zip

Here they are in all their glory: The Luminosity Line. Specifically, this color is called: Luminosity Foil Print Black Silver/Black. And, like the title of this post says: Yes, they’re pretty. Sometimes, I prefer to not buy into any hype- but I legitimately like these and it is likely that I will at LEAST own the Speed Up Shorts. Also shown: Speed Up Tights, Energy Bra, Run Times Shorts. I really love these!

Luminosity Foil Print Black Silver Speed Up Tight

Another thing I am completely enamored with:

These are gorgeous. I hope to find them in my closet next to my other party pants, I mean Tech Mesh Wunder Unders.

Enjoying this pattern of Speed Up Tights:

I also wanted to pick a couple of things I did not like. These pants have a 29″ inseam. They’re designed to hit a little above the shoe-line area and, since these are Rulu, and probably decently warm, I don’t desire a warm pant that doesn’t cover my ankles completely. If these go on sale, I may consider them as an early Autumn pant, since Rulu is one of my favorite fabrics. UPDATE: I DID get these ON SALE marked down from $108 to $69! I tried them on and, I guess I am short enough that these DO cover my ankles!

Run Rulu Run Pant 29 — Run Rulu Run Pant

The next thing is just over priced, in my opinion:

It IS made out of Merino Wool, so maybe it isn’t technically over-priced, given the quality and Lululemon brand-name, but I can’t justify $98 for a scarf that doesn’t absolutely “wow” me. This is cute, but… not $98 worth of “cute.” UPDATE: This did show up in WMTM on boxing day.

Finally, I don’t love this one. The cut would not flatter me, and I dislike the floral pattern on the arm, although, I do recognize that that is the primary feature and namesake of this top. It is simply not made for me, and along with the Run Rulu Run pants, this top is on my WMTM prediction list. I do think that the scarf still has a chance to sell without a discount, we’ll see!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Holidays!
