Tonight’s upload was a little on the smaller side, so not too much excitement on my end. This post’ll be relatively short to reflect that. I expect we’ll see a bigger influx next week with the start of September! Bring on the new colors.
New heathered fatigue green cool racerback. US only. This is a nice color, but I’m gonna pass on it. No CRBs for Canadians this week.
4 colors of the lighten up bra are up in the US. There’s been a lot of anticipation for this bra, it seems.
Mini pop stripe mink berry speed shorts are in the US. The more I look at these the more the pizazz accents look out of place to me.
The bolt sweatpants made their North American debut, including coast camo.
A few sunset salutation things uploaded. Lots of colors of the tank shown here plus the long sleeve are both in Canada only, plus the crops and shorts are up on both sides.
Canada got the re-release of the ghost manifesto scuba hoodie (that’s the ii, not the iii). Still no sign of the cranberry check scuba, though. Also, Canada got a rocky road sand due/storm grey scuba as well–is rocky road coming back?
Canada also got these hi-rise herringbone wunder under pants. The crops were up before, but not these pants I don’t think. Canada also got hi-rise cranberry snake and (solid) sapphire blue WUP.
Other upload notes
A couple random “old” colors showed up, including a jeweled magenta in flux jacket and harbor blue seva sweater. It’s a shame the seva sweater has received such poor marks, because the blue is so nice. Both of these are US only.
The wine berry/bordeaux tie dye in the flow crops are in the US. Based on what we love last week, I was expected that the blue tie dye would accompany it, and maybe the ebb to street pants too, but these were the only tie dye to make an appearance after all.
The fluffiest vests are now in the US.
The sapphire blue space dye twist wunder under crops are up in the US. I thought these were up before, but maybe I’m getting my wires crossed with Canada.
Interesting new ombre (ish?) metallic love tee in the US.
If the store pics last week piqued your interest, the pipe dream blue sweaty or not bra is up.
For run times fans: US got the pipe dream blue snake print on the run times shorts.
The beyond boundaries pants are in Canada now, too (US last week). I haven’t heard much about these.
Scuba iii fans: nice and basic heathered naval blue scuba hoodie iii is in the US.
The butterfly and fatigue snake free to be wild bras are in the US.
Just ordered the heathered fatigue crb for casual wear if it’s not terribly sheer…not holding my breath, but we shall see. Out of curiosity, did the US ever get the butterfly run times?
Yeah it seems most of the heathered CRBs are so thin lately. I’m not sure about the butterfly run times. I don’t remember noticing one way or the other.
Got the CRB today and it’s pretty good actually…may be the slightest bit sheer, but over a nude VS racerback bra it seems totally fine to wear out and about as casual wear and the color is different from any other I have in the closet, so a keeper it is :)
haven’t done anything in them except a try-on after getting in the mail, but the beyond boundaries pants are nice! very slightly sheer in a bend (can barely see the tag), so that may be a turn off for some but I like them and am going to keep.
Thanks for the notes! :)
what is up with the crazy prices of the printed Beyond Boundaries Pant (112$) and the Keep On Track Pant (118$). have we seen pants at those prices before? this is getting a bit ridiculous :( maybe it’s because of lulu’s new “we stand behind our products” policy?
Dont forget $118 for the scuba iii !! I agree, its getting a little much. *cough reflection dots cough*
ohh gawd, those reflective dots are the worst! 98$ for a pair of short shorts…
I wonder if another factor is that lulu is actually becoming the “cheap” option. Many newcomers to activewear are actually more expensive than lulu. Perhaps the logic is that if other people can charge those prices, why can’t they? They want to be seen as luxury, so maybe they feel it’s reasonable to charge similar prices to other brands that market themselves as luxury.
good point! the prices from some of the brands you feature on your blog are completely on another level sometimes. but the one thing, and this has been said much too many times, lulu needs to step up their quality! if they have that, then yes, it would seem more reasonable from our point of view if they increase their prices.
Totally agree! Price hikes for the sake of price hikes is dumb. Sadly, people keep buying, so there really is no business incentive for them to improve quality. :
Fatigue green CRB, and heathered slate Long Sleeve Swiftly for me tonight.
I hope I keep the CRB, because I think it’ll look super cute with my camo speeds- fingers crossed!!
I really hope they make some really cute colors in the Scuba II before phasing it out.
I’m kinda bummed- this will be the second Lulu item I love that they’ve made changes so drastic to, that I’m no longer interested.
The first were the In The Flow Crops- I absolutely hearted them so much, but people began complaining the knee opening was too small.
The ITF II’s were born and that was it- saggy knee city.
It’s so hit and miss with them now- most are too saggy in the knees for me, but a few I’ve ordered fit similar to the original version which were perfect- dunno….
Same thing with the Scuba II- they’re absolutely perfect for me, but again, more complaints- mainly arms being too small- now, we have the Scuba III- which looks like it won’t flatter my body at all.
But alas, I suppose majority rules- just give me a few great colors before they bow out!!!
I totally hear you on frustration with core items being changed! I’m totally in the minority too when it comes to fit, and sadly, the sad facts of economics dictate that the things that fit me are almost always phased out.
I like the new speeds but I don’t like the pizzaz accents. It’s a strange color combo to me and just looks off to me. Oh well. Money saved. :)
Btw, saw your last comment on your other post re: poshmark. Never knew such a thing existed!
Yup, color combo is definitely off. Poshmark is dangerous to the budget, be careful out there!! ;) I like to go to the “just in” category under lululemon, and sometimes you can spot insane deals that way and snag them before anyone else!
just new cotton Vinyasa in heathered black for me this time. But I placed a huge order at carbon38 yesterday as well. I read your comments about Monrow Camo leggings and Alo yoga Goddess Ribbed Leggins and couldn’t resist! Lol So I got those in a couple of different colors as well as a couple of long sleeve tops that I could wear to the gym when it gets cooler and hopefully casually. Also got tshirt dress by Alternative. I know it’s a little late in the season for it, but I thought I might as well. Thank you so much for your blog, I used to buy lulu only, but now learning more about different brands!
Wow nice haul! Let me know what you think of the Monrow and the goddess leggings, I’m curious! Glad I could help in the enabling. :)
