Holy crap… So many s’s.
As promised on the last what we love, this week’s upload was mostly focused on the next swim capsule. This includes new colors of the most recent surf to sand bikinis, the new salty swim bikinis and sweat 2 swim water gear, plus other complementary pieces like the sun runner items. The colors for this swim drop are heathered jeweled magenta, crosscourt petal pow pink, and narrow bold stripe. Other than the swim stuff, the rest of the upload was fairly small–not surprising, since the swim drop was pretty sizable.
So far, I think lulu is doing a pretty good job this summer as far as incorporating color. We’ve got a balance of lighter and brighter colors along with deeper colors: jeweled magenta, dashing purple, clarity yellow, lullaby, poseidon, and some colorful prints incorporating these. These are balanced by some more subdued prints like scratch match, diamond palm, and palm party. Though I personally haven’t bought anything new for a while and I don’t love every new print/color, I think from a more objective standpoint, the summer gear (as well as the tale end of spring) is a step in the right direction.
Also: I had a helluva time getting upload to show up today. I force refreshed, cleared my cache, switched browsers, and still just couldn’t get it to go. At least the app was working so I could check for any “urgent needs”. :)
3 new colors of the surf shorts were included in the swim barrage.
New clarity yellow dottie dash speed shorts. Whew–another pair of speeds I don’t need. No new speeds in Canada.
The all you need crops (seen earlier today overseas) are here! Intrigued to hear reviews of these. Pretty color, normal rise, luxtreme, and the reasonable $88 price point put them on my radar. Still would like to alter them to a straight hem, though.
All you need tights and all you need pants are also up. IMO, the crops are definitely the best of the bunch.
The liberty shorts (also seen overseas) showed up in Canada in jeweled magenta and US in diamond jacquard slate/clarity yellow. These are a higher rise, so they look a bit different than most of lulu’s other hot yoga shorts.
The new bleacher stripe (seen in neutrals earlier today) comes in a colorful version too, called bleacher stripe black iris flower. Lots and lots of color here! These are what the sport shorts.
New in flux jackets: lullaby for the US and jeweled magenta for Canada. No size 2 or 12 of lullaby.
Canada got the pretty purple/gingham free to be wild bra, as seen in some Canada stores a couple weeks ago.
Other upload notes:
– The tech mesh high times with the shine finish and dot mesh are in the US. These were in Canada a couple months ago and I know some Americans were chomping at the bit for these. No size 12.
– Holy flower pants, Batman: crosscourt petal slim jet crops for Canada.
– Dashing purple street to studio pants in the US. No 2 or 12.
– I don’t remember noticing groove shorts in rolldown (new today in palm party), but it makes sense given the general rolldown trend in many of lulu’s bottoms. In the US only.
– Some latecomers to the regal plum party: rolldown cotton wunder under crops. These were in Canada already but are now in the US too.
– The scratch match naval blue scuba from Aus is now in the US.
– The pigment wave black/white hit your stride skirt is now in the US.
– Blue denim in the flow crops are in Canada.
– I got momentarily excited when I saw the new jeweled magenta crossback tank because at first glance, sometimes it looks like a cool racerback. D’oh. Speaking of which: no new CRBs tonight.
– I’m still waiting on the race to win run hat in floral backdrop and jeweled magenta energy bra to come to the US, so my dry spell continues.
Am I the only one who wants shorter crops? It’s summer (well ok it FEELS like summer where I am anyway) – 19 and 21 inch inseams are too long for my taste. I got the Pedal Pace and Top Speed Crop from last week’s upload and I love them, but I’m dying for more! This week’s upload was a big miss for me.
I don’t think you’re the only one! Personally I tend to go for the 19-20″ crops but yeah, there haven’t been many short crops this season besides the top speed crops!
The jeweled magenta spring breakaway shorts are tempting me bad!!
Just got them in store today:) such a beautiful color!!
They’re pretty but I’ve heard a lot of people say they look bad on. :
I’m over them already! I think it’s just jeweled magenta that I like.
I don’t blame you, it’s such a nice color! Like a slightly grown-up hot pink.
The Swiftly SS scoop necks tempted me, but I mainly wear tanks & not short sleeves so can’t justify them at full price. Nothing for me…though I slightly broke my spending ban this weekend with the run visor. It was a necessity with the hot, sunny weather we’ve been having. The brim is really wide & shades almost my whole face. Love it!
I’ve never tried a visor, I wonder if I’d like it better than a hat. Heat isn’t usually my issue but the wide brim sounds nice!
My heart beat a bit faster when I saw the SUP images. I want to be THERE. :D
The magenta in flux jacket is gorgeous!
I love that LLM is doing more prints, but so far, other than pigment wave, the newer prints don’t tempt me as much. The palm party blue denim print reminds me of the jumbo inky floral blue/inkwell print that I was obsessed with last year. Hmm the bleacher stripe black iris flower print is tricky. I like it, but maybe on a wall as a painting in a modern art gallery, or as a Circle of Life storybook illustration for toddlers.
Have you been tracking the online availability of all the speed shorts? Have waited since last year for some of the prints to go on WMTM, but seems the popular sizes are selling out soon :(
Your comments on the bleacher stripe are sooo spot on!!!!
The speed shorts have been sooooo random. Most have been sitting at full price for ages, but then mystic jungle was MD’d?? I’ve stopped trying to figure it out…
I am still holding out for electric coral and jeweled magenta CRBs! :) That pink in the bleacher shorts…I’m hopeful we’ll see more items in that pretty color! Nothing for me tonight.
I really want a JM CRB too!!!
Ooh…Katelyn hinted there might be one I think. Let me go find that and i’ll cut and paste :)
Here it is! The question: “Hey Katelin,
will we see the tata tamer and cool racerback in jewelled majenta (The new pink colour)?………”
and the answer: “………That being said… The CRB is a possibility.. But not this week!”
If you didn’t already see, one went up in the UK this morning! I need. http://images.lululemon.co.uk/is/image/lululemon/LW1726S_014666_1?%24pdp_main%24
So glad my wallet is safe this week, it took a beating last week! Though I do like those All You Need crop in magenta….
Yes it’s nice to have a break sometimes!!! :)
