This week in lululemon international uploads, a couple previously released styles are coming back, plus just a couple new styles. Like the North American uploads this week, there’s not a ton to report, but next week should be fun.
The prettiest of the bunch: this cranberry stuff your bra. Rumor has it there will be no more stuff your bras in the US. This sucks because I have like 3 or 4 I wanted that haven’t come our way. I’m a sad panda.
The bhakti yoga jacket looks like it’s coming back, in fatigue green here. This is the only color to show up so far.
The yogini trouser pants showed up yet again. I feel like these never sell well so I’m not sure why they keep re-making these.
Besides the fluffin’ awesome vests that uploaded to Canada last week, looks like we may also see fluffin’ awesome vests.
New satnam tank. It looks a lot like the mesh with me tank from behind, but it has a normal neckline in the front, and this one’s made of luon.
New twice as nice tote (ziggy snake butter pink here). It’s so named because it can be worn as a shoulder bag, like in this pic, or folded over and worn crossbody.
The heart opener scarf is back too. Gator green/fatigue stripes shown here, plus a new angel wing/mink berry stripe.
Lots of misc green things: fatigue butterfly speed tights, fatigue butterfly pace rival crops, fatigue/reflective super squad shorts, and a snake print gator green swiftly racerback.
Suzanne, I’m in Canada. If your size is still available in the SYBs that you wanted, I’d be happy to order them and post them to you. Even with 13% sales tax and postage you’d probably still be ahead given the exchange rate. Let me know if that’s what you’d like to do.
I don’t have any STBs, but if we get Cranberry I will absolutely order it. I just bought 6 Lorna Jane bras when I was in Australia so I won’t need any for ages, but red is red.
Aww thanks so much! I just checked and the pink lemonade is out in my size. :( I will get back to you and let you know if I want a different color. How are you like the LJ bras?
I’m doing a return tomorrow in store; I’ll check for a 2 in Pink Lemonade while I’m there.
I really like the bras; I thought the rest was crap (I particularly hated the tights because they have a X gusset (whatever you call just the two seams overlapping) instead of a diamond or oval one. In my own size, I could feel it. If I sized up, they tights were way to big. Ugh. I can’t imagine working out in them. I didn’t like the feel of the tanks as much as Lulus and I don’t like slogans either.
The bras are awesome. The removable pads are shaped (almost like a push up bra, but not that pronounced) so there’s no squashed or uniboob look, even in a maximum support. I bought three in one store and my husband liked them so much on me (he who has never mentioned a sports bra to me) that I bought three more later in the trip. They have some really pretty back designs (many convert or are adjustable), even for a C cup. Lots of nice bright colours too. Those are the pluses; good support, comfortable even for all day use, the girls look good and there are lots of very saturated colours available.
The sizing is inconsistent through. I usually wear a 10 in Lulu bras but I was all over in the LJ ones. I mostly bought M (the band was often too loose in L) but I did get L in the two V-necked I purchased since I was one downward dog from a wardrobe malfunction. But there were two XL (seamless style) I couldn’t even try on because they had so little stretch. I knew if by some miracle they went over my shoulders I’d need to be hauled or cut out of them. A few styles had seams in places that I could feel and knew would bother me on a run, so they were a pass. The challenging thing is that she doesn’t have a few core styles in many colours like Lulu; many of the bras were only available in one shade. That’s nice for variety but makes predictable sizing an issue. For those reasons, I’d never order them online. I think they’re try on only, at least for me.
I’m very happy with the ones I have, but I tried on just about everything in two different stores to find them. I’m set for a long while though, although red is always an exception for me.
Yes if you see a 2 pink lemonade in stores I would love one! :) Re: LJ bras, I have a similar issue that if I size up, the band is loose and not supportive at all. I agree that it’s too bad they tend to only make a couple colors in each style, because from the handful that I’ve tried on, I felt like sizing was hit or miss too.
I was in three different Lulus this week looking for a different item and didn’t find a single Pink Lemonade SYB in any of them. Either they were on online only item or they sold through quickly. Sorry, no luck.
Thanks so much for checking. :)
That pic of the fatigue pace rival crop looks like the mesh seam is cutting into her bent leg. That does not look comfortable.
You’re right, it does have an odd sort of bubbling effect there, I didn’t notice it at first.
I really like the sunset salutation long sleeve, but it looks exactly like a nuroo babywearing pocket.
Haha omg you’re right!
