Slowly but surely, I've been working my way through my "brands to try" list. Vie Active gets the spotlight today. Carbon38 recently had a 1-day 30% off deal for anything Vie, so I ordered the rockell tights in satellite orchid, a print I've been loving. After some hand-wringing, I ended up going with blue version instead of the original orchid shade. Vie Active is based in Australia, and has ...

New Overseas: More Var-City Muscle Tanks and Dance Wunder Unders
Not a whole lot of notable newbies overseas that we haven't already seen in North American lululemon product drops, so this will be quick: New colors in the var-city muscle tank: dashing purple and peacock/tranquil blue. Australia also got peacock blue and dashing purple run for days long sleeves. The open sides on these superb pants are really bizarre. If you like the dance ...
Upload 7/28: Wanderlust + Dance to Yoga + Pretty Plume Round 1
Upload was weirdly early tonight, by like half an hour! Fortunately there didn't appear to be any sell-outs in the interim time, otherwise I'm pretty sure some heads would've rolled.

The Wanderlust stuff was the main ...

I've been wearing nanos myself since I started CrossFit 2 years ago. They're functional, durable, and ...
In Stores: Picnic Play Dress + Tie Dye Swiftlies (P.S. Sneaky Upload Today!)
First up, a little PSA: in case you haven't heard, there was a sneaky lululemon upload of a few things on the US side tonight. The wanderlust edition highest times pants are live! There's also alarming speed shorts (no size 2), gator green luxtreme jet crops, and 2 new luon jet crops in silver spoon WAFS and ace spot grain. Pretty sure these back spin stroke peacock blue inspire tights are new ...
Next Week: Wanderlust Online Drop! + Dance to Yoga Capsule
Wow, it's gonna be a big week in lulu-land! On this week's what we love, Katelin spilled the beans that the Wanderlust 2015 capsule collection will be uploaded to the website! Along with that, the dance to yoga capsule (which I went over in this week's international upload post) will be dropping as well. This week, there are no notes that any of this stuff is country-specific, so all of what ...
