This week’s lululemon upload was a little bit smaller than usual, but that’s probably because lulu has another upload up their sleeve for us later this week! There will be a second upload on Thursday, too, which should include the special edition Black Friday goods among other things. It should be at the same time as regular Tuesday upload. Twice weekly uploads will continue until Christmas! (Note: I know this is true for US and Canada, but not sure if it applies to other regions as well.) Also, lulu generally mixes in the new stuff from Thursday upload with what’s already there, so don’t expect the entire “what’s new” page to refresh on Thursday.
I am so jealous of the Canadians this week: they got the runderful pants in 3 colors (shown: bordeaux drama and new lace play pattern). They looked potentially a bit dumpy in the model pics that showed up previous, but they look nicer here. I would definitely like to try these when they turn up in the US, since they’re the same basic idea as the dog runner pants, which are one of my most-worn winter pieces. The dog runners were $118, but the runderfuls increased slightly to $128.
The wind runner softshell jacket uploaded this week in both US and Canada. It features a vest underneath that can be zipped out. I’m assuming that extra feature is a big driver behind the $248 price tag.
Speaking of high prices, I noticed another price increase this week: the hit your stride skirt returned to the US site, except now it’s $74! It used to be $64, which was already a bit high considering the pace rival is only $58.
Another solid align pants color is here: berry rumble (Canada only). These are pretty if you’re an align pants fan.
New space dye twist 6 color dragonfly hi-rise wunder under pants. These are somewhat similar to the cosmic teal twist from a little while ago, except much more green, and these appear to be luon, not luxtreme.
New style: the nouveau limits tank. Based on the name as well as the style, this looks like a replacement to the old no limits tank, which was retired last year. US side only right now.
The new snow amazing toque is pretty adorable. It’s made of boolux but has cozy sherpa fleece inside. This is a little tempting, but I’ll cross my fingers for a post-Christmas markdown later instead of forking over $52 now.
Speaking of which, there’s also this new snow amazing neck warmer. It’s a 2-in-1 scarf and neck warmer combo. The chevron print is cute. There’s also new snow amazing mittens and leg warmers to complete the accessory set.
Nothing grabbed me when I looked at the upload bc well, I live in HI. I decided to peruse the site just now..
Found these:

Buying ’em. Now to look for more hidden things I’ve missed. Crap.
Yes I saw those! I think they uploaded 2 or 3 weeks ago. I wanted dramatic static (like Aus and Can got) more than I wanted flashback static. :( Of course US didn’t get them. Oh well.
But I just realized they don’t have size 2 for you.
I ordered the Runderfuls in both Bordeaux and Black to try. I don’t know if they’lll sell through quickly; they’re expensive but there seems to be a lot of interest in them. If I love them and want to keep both, I’ll return the Wind Runners I got a couple of weeks ago. I’m living in lined DSPs right now and would really like an alternative.
BTW, the Black Heathered Sapphire LS Swiftly is AWESOME. I’m so glad I ordered it; it’s a gorgeous colour.
I’m kicking myself for ordering the Snow Amazing hats and mittens before noticing that they’re boolux and not merino like last year. I love the merino/sherpa toque and mitts I bought last winter; they kept me warm even on absolutely frigid days. I really hope this year’s will be warm, particularly since the hats are final sale. It didn’t even occur to me that they wouldn’t be merino.
I actually thought it was a plus that they were not merino, since I can’t wear wool (I want to scratch my skin off, it sucks). That may be their rationale (that, or padding their bottom line…). I’ve always wondered whether the sherpa-lined stuff would work, though, since in theory my skin wouldn’t actually touch the wool. Let me know what you think of the warmth factor on the snow amazing stuff when you get it.
Will we still get a WMTM update on Thursday, or not this week?
I’m actually not 100% sure on that, but I think there will be as usual!
