This week’s upload mostly seemed to be a lot of pieces from misc capsule collections without much of a uniting theme. Since it’s the last week of the month, they’re probably tying up some loose ends before introducing a bigger drop of fresh colors and patterns for the first week of April.
Silver fox cyber stripe high times pants are now in the US. I can almost hear the cries of the people who paid well over retail to get these from Australia. In less than 2 hours, sizes 2-6 already sold out. Some other fast sellers have had random restocks (e.g., the full size run restock of the going grape FTBW last week), so it’s tough to say whether these are popular or just a partial stock right now. Also, My Superficial Endeavors already has a review of these up.
Speaking of stripes: textured stripe slate wunder under crops are now up in the US.
Heathered slate and clear mint cool racerbacks are now in the US.
The US got the trail bound shorts in 3 colors. I was almost tempted to try these, but first of all, they look like they flare out a lot at the leg opening, especially in the bark berry pics. Flaring tends to look especially dumpy on me. Second, I’m inclined to think 2-way stretch speeds (or run times, or trackers) would probably be similarly durable, although the trail bounds have an extra-durable panel on the butt. Curious whether these shorts are 2-way or 4-way fabric.
Speaking of shorts, Canada got naval blue, clear mint, and heathered blue tropics speed shorts.
New color vintage green showed up on street to studio pants for Canada.
Lulu’s recent inconsistency strikes again: these hawk blue wunder under crops are available in 2-12 in Canada, but only 4-10 in the US. Even though these weren’t on my wishlist, this trend of inconsistency is really not something I want to see.
New devi yoga pants are in the US and Canada, including in alberta lake (shown), which wasn’t part of the Aussie drop of these.
Edit: oopsies, missed these electric coral wunder under pants the first time! Funny that this color almost looked red in the initial pics (on the wild tank), because the coral/pink is VERY obvious here. No 2 or 12, naturally, and these are US only right now.
Other upload notes:
– The pretty fresco blue swiftly LS is in Canada.
– More pretties: the space dye gris scuba hoodie is in the US.
– The pointelle devi crews are in the US, albeit at the steep price point of $118.
– The heat the street onesie is up the US, too, in black and bordeaux drama.
– US now has the cut above t-shirt dress from Canada last week.
– Speaking of dresses, the retreat nightie dress is on both sides.
– I don’t usually pay much attention to water bottles, but the diamond pattern on the blue tropics pure focus water bottle (US only).
did you see the electric coral WUPs? omg I hope we get crops and speeds and bras and tops and bags and everything in this color.
Ohhhh thanks, I missed these. I was already late and a bit frazzled. Gonna add these in a sec. I bet they’re sheer though…
I got the hawk blue WUC, but regret passing up the high times stripe. By the time I went back for them, my size was gone. Maybe there could be a WUC in the silver fox coming later?
There hasn’t been much new cyber stripe lately, but who knows. I would definitely prefer WUC myself–I don’t like the high rise or the zips of the high times.
FWIW, on heylululemon’s “what we love” thread, katelin answers someone asking the same question saying she “doesn’t see it planned in the Wunder Under styling” and suggests that the person get the high times…
*edit* Also just wanted to add that hawk blue is so pretty! Nice choice.
Was hoping to see the electrical coral FTBW or other type of bra. I am contemplating the electric coral WUPs but would prefer crops. Yes to seeing many more things in this color!! Would also love the silver fox stripe in a crop. I don’t care for the orange zipper on those high times. I hope this is a sign of good things to come! The first time in awhile my interest has been piqued!
I’d prefer crops in electric coral, too. Canada got a 50 rep bra in solid electric coral. I’m betting if they do an energy bra in electric coral, it won’t be solid, since they’re doing the 50 rep and FTBW in solid, which is a shame.
I’m tempted by a few items this time. It’s been a while ;) I decided to try out the high times even though I am skeptical of the zipper. And to repeat what others already said, I like the white Devi Crew… but that price!!? Unexpected. I wonder if it will be marked down or not… I can see it going either way. I want the space dye gris scuba, too, but that would be my 4th scuba. I wear a scuba practically every day. But still…
At least I can wait a little while for the fresco swiftlies. When those come, there will be no debate.
Yeah, it seems like a lot of people have been liking the devi crew but balking at the price. I’m inclined to think there will be enough people willing to swallow the price to sell through it before markdown, especially considering how stingy they are with MD’s these days.
I’m tempted by the electric coral. I was going to order them, but I’ll take my chances on other electric coral items. I would looove them in inspire crops….or even the full length as roll down. Maybe others can tell us if they are sheer or not? They are really cute though. First thing I have been lusting in awhile.
I’d really like to know if they’re sheer too (I’m betting yes). I’d def prefer crops (especially considering the WUP weren’t available in my size at all, so I didn’t even get to consider them), but since the full-length are regular rise, I bet a WUC version would be rolldown, which I hate. I might like the color in speeds, though I already have flash speeds which are vaguely close. They did make inspires with an EC waistband: http://images.lululemon.co.uk/is/image/lululemon/LW6D10S_019278_3?$pdp_main$ But that’s it so far.
If you don’t mind me asking, how come you don’t like the roll down? I’ve found the regular ones tend to be cutting into my sides lately so I’ve actually started liking the roll down. I don’t like these design tweeks….the pants even cut into the models skin if you look at the close ups.
Did they happen to tweak the speeds? I used to be consistently a 6 in 4 way speeds and now I look like a stuffed sausage in the 6. I’ve practically given up on finding speeds that fit me right.
It’s just personal preference. I hate hate hate high rise anything, even since I was a little kid. There have been a couple rolldowns in particularly luscious fabric that I didn’t mind (nightfall diamond jacquard, cotton), but even then, it would probably grate on me after a whole day.
As for speeds, the short answer is yes. Speeds fit first started shifting in early 2014, when lengths became variable and fit through the hips/legs varied as well. The variability has gone down a little bit but isn’t back to the pre-2014 days. Now, many (most?) recently released pairs have been running smaller (and/or the liner being tight). It does seem to vary pair to pair/batch to batch, so if your store has multiple in the same size, try both. Fit lately seems to take a tremendous amount of patience/persistence, which I’m willing to endure, but I’m sure it’s deterring a lot of would-be speeds first-timers.
Bought the Devi crew in white last night (I’m afraid it won’t make it to WMTM, if it does I’ll pick up a second color). Added and removed the CRB in clear mint several times. I’m not sure about the color…I feel like it borders on obnoxious. lol I need to see it in person. I want electric coral in CRB and run times.
The clear mint CRB is a bit see-through, so avoid it if that bothers you. I didn’t mind the color though, I don’t think it’s too obnoxious.
Nothing tempting for me. Still waiting on new colors in the WTS Singelet & run backpack. I continues to like more things on WMTM than upload. BTW, big thumbs up to the JustBreathe LS on WMTM. I can see how people don’t like the mesh–it’s on the stiff side–but the top is so much prettier in person. I’m really happy I got it. Makes a great casual top.
Hooray for MD success! :) I wasn’t tempted this week either. Money saved for when (hopefully) better colors roll in in April.
Oh my, I bought the textured stripe WUC at the store and they have NO compression (should have tried on at the store) I’m a 4 (could go to a 6 sometimes) and the 4’s fit like an 8. They are cute, but I don’t think I can keep them. They are so loose they feel like cheap knock offs from Walmart. On a positive note, the stripes line up and they aren’t sheer……
Oh dear! That’s too bad.
