Happy Tuesday! After all the drama last week, and after the endless litany of black pants, we’re back to some interesting new colors and styles. A couple new styles dropped today, as well as some riffs on existing styles. Coast camo showed up on a ton this week, and there’s a lot more bordeaux drama than I was expecting considering it was a pretty prominent color last year too.
In the US: new coast camo wunder under pants (hi-rise) as well as a scuba hoodie ii. There’s also a new washi weave scuba.
New speed tights in coast camo on the US side. Where are the nice solid speed tights? Canada got black but that’s it, and the US has black and gator green.
Even more coast camo, plus sapphire blue, on new drop it like its hot tights. They’re luxtreme yoga pants with seam details and subtle mesh accents on the side. These are in Canada only right now.
The stress less hoodie is back in 3 colors (US only right now). These were reasonably popular last year. The fit runs pretty loose, as you can see on the model, so if you want it more fitted definitely go with a size down.
Another new style: find your mantra henley. It’s made of boolux and comes in 4 colors.
New high times wrap mesh pants. These look a bit like the recently released high times mettas, and both still remind me of Michi’s designs.
Last year there was a special edition laser cut define jacket and wunder under crop, and this year they’ve done it again. I definitely prefer this year’s over last year’s. This one is reminiscent of the current ziggy snake pattern and has a more abstract look than last year. They’ve also done away with the scalloped hem for this version and gone for a plain contoured hem, which I think goes a bit better with the pattern. Both of these are bordeaux drama, and the define jacket is available in both countries while the wunder under crops have only been released in Canada so far.
Nice new pace rival crops in space dye twist ultra violet. Too bad the stripes don’t line up even in the stock photos. (Canada only.)
The 1x a lady jacket is back in Canada, this time with a dual-tone look.
Lastly, this new go for it dress (US only) probably would’ve been flying off the shelves if it had been released earlier in the summer, but I imagine not too many people have lightweight, open back dresses on the forefront of their mind anymore. Still, it’s cute.
Nothing for me.. was debating the stress less, but just like last year, there’s nothing I like about it and the colors are boring. I have about 3 Naketano hoodies with the huge collar so I think I just need to save my money.
Nothing for me either. I have the rest day PO, which is fairly similar to the stress less and fits me better. Naketano hoodies are definitely pretty similar in style too.
Nice solid Speed Tight colors indeed…I was interested in the gator green pair until I realized there was a big mesh panel on the back of them. Moving into colder weather, the last thing I need is mesh. I like those SE Wunder Unders…hope they show up in the US.
Yeah true, mesh isn’t all that useful in really cold weather. There are several no-mesh colors overseas, they just seem to be taking their sweet time to get here.
look, i am a boolux-philiac like WHOA [how many post-savasana sweaters can a girl own?], but WHY is that henley $108?
Omg, I didn’t notice the price til you pointed it out. I think that’s more than I paid for my chai times, and those are definitely thicker.
Picked up the Bhakti jacket in cranberry and coco pique. I’ve been borderline obsessed with the previously release coco pique Bhakti from last year but the prices for it on E-bay are literally insane. Like nearly twice the price insane. Might send one or both of them back, but it seems like a great multi-functional piece that would pair well with nearly everything. :)
Yeah I think the bhakti jacket is a really nice design. The pique will probably be super-soft. :)
Nothing from ‘What’s New’, but I did pick up a few things that have been around for a while: two Scuba’s- one in naval blue and the other in dashing purple, L/S swiftly in dashing purple, and the gator green CRB.
Like the look of the UV speed shorts, so we’ll see.
Looks like Bordeaux will be popular again this year, which I don’t own a single thing in- it doesn’t do anything for my skin tone the way plum does, but does look beautiful on lighter skin tones.
Side note, AA: Christmas is just around the corner, so if you really love and are considering the LH Nordica tights, maybe gift yourself with them??
I know- I’m definitely not the one who’s gonna try and talk you out of a rad piece, provided it doesn’t place you in debt- that’s my only rule.
The dashing purple swiftlies are so pretty! Love the tonka stripe.
As for the LH tights, UGH you’re not helping. ;) I actually also have a bday coming up kinda soon, plus hit a milestone this month for the blog so there are excuses galore! I would have room in the budget (though we’re moving this month, kill me now, so of course there are lots of other worthy causes for the money) so I’m hanging by a thread over here. :P SIGH. It seems like I would regret not at least trying them out, so ordering seems in a way inevitable. Perhaps I should just get it out of the way, lol.
I agree about the dress. I was in my local store today & the Picnic Play Dresses were marked down to $69. Maybe that will be the fate of this one too.
Yup, I wouldn’t be surprised. Those willing to shop off-season might score a great deal on this one. Too bad it doesn’t come in my size or I’d think about scooping one up myself if it was MDed.
