Lululemon has dropped some gorgeous stuff this week. (There were some pretties last week too! Sometimes Lulu releases the cutest stuff right after the holidays!) I couldn’t help myself and I ordered a couple of things. I also decided I HAVE TO write about this.
The Align tank in Diamond Dye Light Sage Army Green Dark Olive is kind of gorgeous. I love the color and pattern. I really like the diamond dyes overall. They have the Align pants in Diamond Dyes too. They’re Nulu. The softest thing ever.
Align Pants in Diamond Dye Pitch Grey Graphite Grey
Does anyone else love the Submarine color? New pretty Energy bras make me smile.
We have to talk about the Love Revealed Bra and Love Revealed Tight. These are right up my alley. So beautiful! I love love love the rainbow space dye look!!!
For sure gonna get the pants, may or may not pick up the bra. Let me know what you think in the comments about these.
Of course, I have to highlight my beloved Ready To Rulu pants. There are a lot of gorgeous colors available right now.
Graphite Grey
Chambray
Heritage Camo Dark Olive Green Twill
Neon Tweed Jacquard HTR Battleship Electric Coral
The bottom one in Neon Tweed Jacquard HTR Battleship Electric Coral is my favorite: I ordered it, and it’s not here yet, but it will be soon! The color looks pretty sort of like the one on the Love Revealed collection.
Really interested in this Quilted Vinyasa Scarf. Looks interesting. I like the gold buttons, but I really want to touch the fabric to see what it’s like. Even though it looks cute & warm, I need my scarves to be cozy and comfy. It’s 100% Polyester and DWR treated, so probably not going to be super soft, but I am open to being surprised. If I decide to pick it up or see it in store, I’ll edit this post & let you know!
Let me know what you think about these post-holiday offerings overall. If you ever want to chat Lululemon or blogging or whatever, definitely find me on Twitter @LululemonExpert 🙂
I just wanted to post a quick update. I saw some Facebook updates from different Lululemon stores and if you just can’t wait to find out until tomorrow, well, it looks like we’re getting a new To & From capsule.
Pictured above are the Love Tee III, Vinyasa Wrap II and Get Ready Jogger Swift.
Note: It says “Get Ready Jogger Swift” on the post, but I wonder if the “Swift” is simply the fabric. I will update as soon as I find out!
Also: Here’s a sneak peak of a new pattern coming out tomorrow!
Looks interesting. It would be amazing in a bright color! Says me: lover of all bright colors.
Let me know what you think! And as always, thanks for stopping by!
I don’t often cover uploads, but I really wanted to share some of my favorites from this week with you, and since I’m officially off school, I actually have some time to write! This week, I have a question of vital importance!
WHAT BRA IS THIS:
Did I miss this somewhere? What bra is this? What pattern is this!? I must have missed it or something, but if you know, please tell me in the comments. This was in the photos for the hat also pictured, the “Baller Hat.”
Next, I also have thoughts to share!
First of all, Lululemon has really done a great job on upload this week. I see a bunch of things I want!
Let’s begin with these shorts:
The Wunder Shorts. They come in a 2″ inseam model and a 5″ inseam model. I am very excited about the 5″ inseam model, and I do feel like Lululemon customers have been asking for quite some time for a longer short. I have a feeling that these will sell out. I may pick up the Full-On Luxtreme model.
Then, there are the High Times Pant (Wing Mesh), which I think are so cute, but buyer beware, they do have negative reviews from last year, and one new review from this year that’s less than enthusiastic. I just happen to think they’re cute- that mesh placement is so fun!
Then, of course, this gorgeous thing: The Coast Wrap II. I’m very tempted by the Heathered Alberta Lake one.
All the details really attract me to this piece. There are pockets, you can wear it all the way done up, or with the buttons undone and it looks just as good, as in bottom left photo. There is an interior phone pocket and a hole for your headphone cord- although, I use wireless headphones, I still appreciate the thought and extra detail. What do you think about the Coast Wrap?
Next, these beautiful High Rise Wunder Unders in Space Dye Camo Alberta Lake Fresh Teal. I put the Vinyasa Scarf in the same color next to them, even though it was uploaded last week, because I think I’d rather get it than the Wunder Unders. So pretty over that Coastal Wrap.
Speaking of Wunder Unders: Here are the Foli Manifesto Bali Breeze Tofino Teal Wunder Unders. They are absolutely gorgeous! I got the CRB last week, and I hope they come out with Speeds in this print!
What did you like from this week’s upload? I just wanted to share some favorites. Share your favorites with me on Twitter or in the comments below!
This week was a GREAT one for upload. I just had to comment. Let me know what you think too!
Base Runner Pant III
These are incredibly soft, so comfortable and great for winter, in my experience. These are the newest incarnation of the Base Runner pants, and I can only hope that I will be as satisfied with them as I have been in the past. Here they are in heathered dark fuel/ menthol, and heathered bordeaux drama/ bon bon.
This is the bottom, pictured to show the reflective detail.
Personally, I prefer the heathered bordeaux drama, but the Fuel green are gorgeous too! Which ones do you like? Or get? Not a fan of these colors & just get the black ones? Let me know!
Fleecy Keen III
This jacket has been popular for a long while and people have been really excited to see its return.
I thought it would be a good idea to post its many features:
Fleece fabric is super soft and lightweight
quilted Glyde fabric helps protect against light wind and rain
zip on the removable hooded dickie and cinch the drawstrings to hold onto heat
reflective details help keep you visible in low light
unzip the vents on the arm and shoulder for a little extra airflow
thumbholes and Cuffins™ sleeves help keep your hands warm
imported
Fuel Green Fleecy Keen

Fleecy Keens have a zip-out liner feature.
Run: Inspire Crop II *All
Luxtreme
LOVE these. I have the Wunder Under Crops in this pattern, so I don’t need them, but if you like this pattern, these are a great option.
space dye twist sapphire blue multi/naval blue
Kanto Catch Me Short
These shorts aren’t getting a lot of buzz on the boards, but the Ultra Swift/ Luxtreme combination is likely to be very comfortable- and I predict that they will sell well. Here are the specs:
Swift Ultra fabric is four-way stretch and sweat-wicking
Luxtreme® fabric waistband is sweat-wicking
added LYCRA®Â fibre for great shape retention
our signature three-pocket waistband has room for your essentials
reflective details help you shine bright in low light
relaxed sensation
imported
I’m curious about these and hope they show up at my store.
painted animal sprinkler black/black
butterfly texture black white/forage teal
UPDATE: I bought these shorts and they do not fit like I thought they would. I thought they had a liner but they don’t. If you’re a curvy girl like me, you might want to reconsider getting them- or maybe size up.
Throw Back Scrunchie
mountain peaks bon bon bordeaux drama
painted animal sprinkler black
butterfly texture black white
Now, when I tell you that people hate this, it’s not a complete picture. They don’t hate scrunchies, or this scrunchie in particular. What they hate is the price. $12. “A $12 Scrunchie!?” If you’re like me, though, what you don’t see is a scrunchie, what you see is a relatively inexpensive way to own a piece of the Lululemon brand. Over the holidays (which is what every retailer in the country is gearing up for right now), many parents go into Lululemon stores across the country and buy things for their teenage daughters, who want a piece of the Lululemon cache. I’ve seen many parents go in, and instead of pants, they buy their teenagers a headband. They’re a great stocking stuffer, and not as pricey as a pair of pants. I know, I know, what about Ivivva? Ask a teenager whether or not they think Ivivva is cool. Half the answers will be either ‘no,’ or ‘that’s what my little sister and her friends wear,’ and the other half will be ‘what’s ivivva?’ Ivivva is not a well-known brand. That matters. Lululemon was ranked 29th last year in terms of brand value– Ivivva was not on the list.
So, this upload, in addition to these cute scrunchies, they’ve uploaded several new headbands and new colors of the headbands that were already online and I am sure, that many of these will sell well. Personally, I’m on a boycott until they bring back the Bang Buster.
What do you think about the scrunchie? Did you buy one?
Pretty Exciting Upload/ new products available this week! Here’s what I got:
Chilly Chill Vest Inky Floral / Ghost. I REALLY want this. So fun & cute! I haven’t seen it in North America or uploaded yet, but I hope it will be soon!!
Miss Misty Pullover in Inky Floral, Gym to Win bag Sashico Star Bordeau Drama
I tried on the Miss Misty Pullover and my size seemed a little tight in the underarms. I could have dealt with it, but I also might have decided to size up if I was going to purchase. In the end, I decided that I still don’t love the Glyde fabric.The Gym to Win duffel is super cute, but I just don’t need another bag right now.
It cinches!

Rollin’ With My Omies Sweater. I like the look of it over all and the stripes- but I’m not a huge fan of open backs… However, I found another photo (below) that seems to show that it zips up- so that’s better than just being open and not having the option of having it zipped.
Easy Breath Bra and Great Granite Forme Jacket. This bra clasps in the front.
Great Granite Breathe Easy Pants. I’m loving these. I might have to try them out!
Back view of Great Granite Breathe Easy pants. These pants are high-waisted.
Unity Pullover and Easy Breath Bra
Great Granite Breathe Easy Pants with Unity Pullover. I suppose this is a good side view. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing lots of these on social media.
Rollin’ with my Omies Sweater back view. It looks like it zips up in the back. That makes this more palatable to me- I like options! UPDATE: It DOES zip up in the back.
That’s all for now! I’ll update with more later!
UPDATE:
Lab Edge Tee made from seriously light luon and lightweight mesh
Mesh Bra- Luxtreme in the front, Mesh in the back
Great Granite Wunder Under Crop, Easy Breath Bra and Sport Tee
UPDATE: Here are some more photos/ offerings from Lulu this week!
This is called the Meesh Tee, but it’s made from Mesh. I think I’ll call it the Mesh Tee.
Is this a Jewelled Magenta 105F Singlet? It will be mine!
Another pic of the Rollin’ With My Omies Sweater- I think this one looks really great on her.
This is NOT another pic of the Rollin With My Omies Sweater OR the Breathe Easy pants… This is a glorious photo of the Great Granite Bang Buster! I love Bang Busters. Check out my post about them here!
This photo shows how high the waist goes on these Breathe Easy pants. The more I see these, the more I like them- and I generally don’t love high-waisted pants.
UPDATE:
The Rollin with my Omies Hoodie keeps getting more appealing, I just realized that the zipper goes both ways like in this photo:
Rollin With My Omies Hoodie Zipper
Plus I think this polka dot is REALLY cute. For reference, here are the specs from Lulu’s website:
why we made this
We designed this soft, oversized hoodie to keep us comfortably warm after working up a sweat. A large vent at the back with an easy-to-use zipper pull gives us access to some serious airflow and the loose fit lets our skin breathe. Cooling down made easy, breezy? Yes please.
fabric + features
Stretch French Terry fabric is naturally breathable and has built-in stretch to move with you
unzip the back vent when you need to cool down quickly
snuggle into the deep hood when you want to hold on to heat (or mask messy mat hair)
keep your key from bouncing around with the hidden stash pocket
oversized fit and long length make for easy layering over sweaty clothes
thumbholes help keep your sleeves in place and hands warm
designed not to shrink so laundry day is a breeze
imported
fit + function

Open Your Heart Tank with new Wunder Unders. I’m guessing that people are really going to like these Wunder Unders.
Yes, it’s another pic of the Breathe Easy pants in Great Granite, but look at that head stand! Shown also is the Easy Breath Bra in Jewelled Magenta
Tie Dye Long Sleeve Swiftly shown with Bordeaux Drama In The Flow Crops
I really like this new Peplum Tank. I can’t wait to go see it in-store. Shown also: black Breathe Easy Pants.
I’m so excited about this one. I am really liking what I’ve seen so far of the new Great Granite print and I hope to try it in either the CRB or the Pace Setter. I’m somewhat torn though, because they’re also coming out with Wunder Unders and Inspire Crops. So many great pics of this new print!

I’m not loving this jacket- Australia got some cute Downtime Jackets that I’m going to hold out for.
The Pace Setter on the other hand is adorable.

But then again, I could always get Wunder Under Crops or Inspire Crops…

Oh, and Scuba Hoodies are coming back- fall approaches!

Of course one could be tempted to forgo this print altogether and just…
and snag these:
Run for Fun Crops in savasana camo 20cm new black
I’m more into these:
Run For Fun crop in wee stripe bruised berry:bruised berry back view
Run For Fun Crops in wee stripe bruised berry:bruised berry side view
But I already have the Inspire Crops in the Bruised Berry Space Dye, so I’m not 100% sure I need these. However, I will want to at least try on the Run For Fun crops in store. I’m also wondering what the difference is between these and the Run For Your Life crops.
Also: I’m absolutely adoring all the Heathered Swiftlies Lulu is coming out with lately, Jeweled Magenta and Bruised Berry are gorgeous and this week we have Heathered Cadet Blue:
Heathered Cadet Blue Swiftly Close Up-

Well, that’s all I’ve got for you so far- I hope to update with more as photos of what’s new become available- particularly the Stride we’re supposed to be getting in the Great Granite print. Where’s that at!? LOL. What caught your eye this upload? Let me know in the comments below!
UPDATE
I found a couple more pictures I’d like to share with y’all!
Great Granite Inspire crops, Cool Racerback and Pace Setter
Great Granite Speed Shorts shown with Heathered Jeweled Magenta Swiftly Racerback
I really like this feature on jackets, and the Bring Back the Track jacket has it! The hood zips away when not in use!
Like I’ve said in previous posts, I do intend to cover uploads more often- and this is one of them. I know there’s going to be a lot of excitement surrounding the re-release of the Stride Jacket. I think I will continue to cover the upload in the way that I have been. That is: I post the first post and continually update it as I discover new items or pretty “IRL” (In Real Life) photos of recently released or newly uploaded garments. I am hoping that by making a singular post per upload weekly, I can make it easier for people to search for things.
So far, I’ve seen one photo of the Stride jackets. Here she is:
Three of the new 2014 Stride Jackets. I see plain black, Heathered Medium Grey and Heathered Mohave Tan.
The Noir line looks very flattering on this girl! I am loving the pants. High-waisted things don’t typically look amazing on me, but she pulls them off beautifully.
Note the mesh side panels
The Stride Jacket

And the gorgeous new Cool Racerback in Wee Are From Space Jeweled Magenta
This wasn’t my favorite upload ever, but there were some goodies and some new items I’d like to share.
Patience Tank in Aquamarine / Opal
I like the front of this tank, but I’d prefer a more simplistic back, with fewer straps.
Rollin With My Om’ies tank in flowabunga mini multi
Rollin’ With My Om’ies tank in black paired with Camo Wunder Under Crops
I liked this photo because it has the new Rollin’ With My Om’ies tank in black, over the new Twist Bra Long Line in Raspberry, as well as the bra on its own. It also features the Bruised Berry Cool Racerback and Hotty Hot Shorts in Sweet Spot Angel Wing/Angel Wing. Honourable mentions go the Camo Wunder Under pants.
I like the look of this tank in the pics, but I can envision myself adjusting a lot, so it seems a little high maintenance for my taste.
Twist Bra Long Line in Raspberry
I really like the look of this bra, especially in the Deep Zinfandel. I might get it if/ when it goes to mark down.
Finally, I’ll share this photo:
Rollin’ With Their Om’ies!
Like I said, not my favorite upload, but I might reconsider on the Bruised Berry CRB. Nothing for me yet. What did you guys get this upload?
Update: Even more from the upload!
Twist Bra Long Line in Deep Zinfandel, Yoga Over Skirt, Rollin’ with my Om’ies tank in flowabunga mini multi
When I saw the Twist Bra paired with the Yoga Over skirt, I thought “Wow! What a cute idea for an outfit!” I don’t own a Yoga Over skirt, but if I did, I’d definitely try something like this. Gorgeous. I found another, similar pic. I’ll post below:
Twist Bra Long line in Raspberry with Yoga Over Skirt in Heathered Slate/ Black
Again, so fun, so functional. Love it!
The next photo features a weakness of mine: Cool Racerbacks. I really love the Bruised Berry one and am still trying to decide whether I need it or not. This picture is pretty convincing.
Bruised Berry Cool Racerback with Hotty Hot Shorts
The last thing I’ll say is OMG, her hair is amazing. *love it!*

The picture of these people doing yoga is a fantastic photo- This looks so fun!
And below: “I’m ready for my close up!”
I thought that this was a good photo for anyone who wonders what this print looks like close up.
I thought this was a good example of Heathered Bruised Berry close up.
