Sorry about the post title. It had to be done.
If the connection wasn’t obvious, the post is so named because one of the features of this week’s lululemon product drop was the drop it like it’s hot capsule. That, plus lulu brought more cold weather run/rulu gear to the forefront. Although tonight’s upload was kind of slow, November is the first month of lulu’s winter season, so next week’s should be one of the biggest drops we’ve had in a while (well, the biggest in 3 months to be exact). Brace yourselves.
Before diving into the new lulu: in case you missed it, Carbon38 is offering 20% off full-priced items sitewide, today only! Use code GRATITUDE20. If you’ve had your eye on something, it’s the perfect time to snatch it up–these codes don’t come up often! The deal is only good til midnight PST. Also, returns are for store credit only, so be sure you’re ok with that before placing an order.
Anyway:
The new drop it like it’s hot capsule is designed with hot yoga in mind, and includes just a handful of items so far, like this dramatic static leotard.
Canada got yet another new color of the kanto catch me long sleeve: menthol. It’s nice to see that they’re doing so many non-neutrals. I’d like to see a different rulu top this season, but the fact that they’ve released so many colors in the kanto line worries me that they won’t bother this year. But it’s still only October, so there’s still plenty of time and I’m not giving up hope that something I like better is still to come.
There’s also a new heathered bordeaux drama kanto catch me 1/2 zip.
This new wee stripe bordeaux/bon bon CRB is actually rulu! Only available in the US so far.
There’s a couple new colors of the lighten up bra new to the US side. This dramatic static is cute, plus there are two versions of the clouded dreams print also.
There’s a new “lights out” version of both the speed tights (pictured) and pace rivals. They have the same reflective detail as the tight stuff tight. It looks pretty cool, but I can’t see it being worth the $40 upcharge. That said, even at $128, the pace rivals are $20 more affordable than the tight stuff tights, so they’re definitely a cheaper alternative if you really want the reflective detail.
I kinda dig these hot pink (bon bon) evolution leg warmers. Unfortunately, despite these being marked as cotton online, the reviews say they’re wool, which generally doesn’t work for me.
There’s a new version of the vinyasa scarf on the block: velour. Well, it *might* be velour. In Canada, they have it marked as fleece. Not sure I can get behind this since velour mostly brings back memories of the flared velour pants I thought were super cool when I was about 13. This version will also cost you an extra $10.
You might’ve noticed this pic from a new flyaway tamer showing a sneak peek a short sleeve tee that I assume is coming soon, featuring some nifty open back details.
i was wondering if the pricing on the kanto catch me tops seems high to anyone? the LS is 88$ and the 1/2 zip is 98$. are those prices typical of rulu tops? thanks!
It’s not typical if you compare it to last year but LLL has increased prices on a lot of things this year. Tuck & Flow was priced at 68 last year. I also got the Love Some Run top last year on MD for 69. I think the Kanto tops are overpriced and not that great. Looks like they’re not moving, so there’s a good chance some will end up on WMTM. I have gotten two Rulu tops from Ivviva this year for much cheaper. Pretty happy with those since the Rulu is thick and nice. The Warm Like Your Heart top was $52 and I got it in size 14. Fits like a LLL 6.
Yes it’s typical. The last few years that I can remember, LS rulu tops were $88 and half-zips were $98.
Late to chime in here, but as I recall those have been the prices for the past 2 years at least. Not that out of the ordinary. I got a rulu 1/2 zip on MD for $69 last year, but I had to wait a while for it!
Site is dead for me…. poo.
Ahhhhhhh I wish I would have seen this post last night I would have taken Carbon 28 up on the code offer!
On another note, nothing in the lulu product drop interested me tonight. I’m kind of worried about next week though, my wallet is hiding in terror!
Ahh boo. :( There’s still 15% off going on at Bandier, though, which is kind of close? (Code FIT15 through Nov 15.) I hope C38 does a great Black Friday sale.
After seeing WWL this week, my wallet is VERY MUCH hiding in terror… Holy crap.
Oh also… Note last weeks Kanto catch me ls reflective top I bought it thinking two things. The top was all rulu and the reflective pattern was the same on as on the TST. Neither was true. The top panels on the arm are actually brushed luxtreme. Which doesn’t stretch as much as rulu I felt was kind of restrictive on a running top. The reflective pattern on the sleeves is only kind of similar to the TST. It is only the large dots and really not any of the small ones in between. They are also more spread out. I’m going to guess the speed tights and pace tights are the same since they appear to be and have the same green color when not reflecting.
Ah, hm, so maybe not the same reflective detail after all. Sucks that they made it brushed luxtreme, though, that’s definitely not as nice as rulu.
I ordered to bon bon CRB and static run times (old news) to try. I’m really on the fence about both. This is the first time I’ve ordered on upload day in at least a few months now.
What’d you end up thinking of them? :)
