Happy fluff day and first official winter season upload!! I was really looking forward to today’s upload because there were several things I had seen elsewhere that I was hoping to get tonight. I’m also in a SUPER “buy all the warm things” mood because we’re expected to get up to 6″ of snow (SNOOOW!!) tonight and tomorrow. Seriously. I’m going to die.
Unfortunately, most of the things on my “I’m so freaking cold” wishlist didn’t end up going live tonight, but I suppose it’ll space out the spending–hah.
First up: fluffs! I was curious to see what colors in this down for a run jacket would go up, but so far there’s just black and white. Maybe black grape and forage teal will appear later? I love white, but for practical reasons I’m not sure if I’d prefer black grape, so I’m not sure what my strategy should be here (hah).
I was especially excited about this down for a run capsule because I’d heard that it was seen in stores in a 2, plus it was uploaded to the UK site today in a 2. Fluffs have never come down a 2 before (smallest size is usually a 4), so I was sooo excited to be able to get one in my true size for a better fit. That is, until I checked upload. Guess what?! No 2’s. QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART LULU.
While I’m at it, some other beefs with the down line this time around: 1) no cuffins on the jacket. :( 2) I wish the rulu panels were textured like they were in the fluff off line. I don’t care about the addition of the hood (I never use it), so if they’d taken that off and replaced it with those details, that would’ve made this line seriously the dream capsule for me.
The down for a run pullover is very reminiscent of the older what the fluff pullover, which is a good thing since that was a popular style. Black grape is my favorite, but forage teal is very pretty too.
I love this forage teal down for a run vest. I used to not be a vest gal, but now that I have one, it’s SO useful and I wear it all the time. I think I should probably have more than one, ergo, I should get this vest. That said, I’m waiting on pulling the trigger on both this and the jacket because I’ll have to see about getting my true size from a store.
New face the frost 1/2 zip! Colors are black grape and tender violet. This is tech fleece–I’d been waiting for a tech fleece PO. It’s only in Canada right now (it’s also in Canada stores), but when it comes to the US I’m going to have to try it. The fit looks kinda “meh” on the models to me, so I’m hoping it’ll be a little more flattering when I get my hands on one.
I’m glad to see raspberry glo light is back this season–Canada got this cool racerback tonight. Beware, though: raspberry glo has had bleeding issues in the past, and I’m not sure whether lulu has done anything to fix that.
Check this out: colored herringbone, yes! These are forage teal herringbone speed tights (US only). There was a black swan (aka black grape) herringbone release a few years back, and if that returned it would be amazing. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed in stores that lulu’s textures seem thinner and less soft this year as previous years, but it might still be worth it for black grape. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Speaking of colored textures, there’s also a new run fast neck warmer in a new color: mini check pique hunter green.
New color: berry rumble. Here it is on the run fast neck warmer and down for a run mittens. I wonder if this means there’s a chance of other down for a run items in berry rumble? (This color is only up in Canada right now.)
Tender violet is a new color for this month, though it’s an older color that’s been released before. Here it is on wunder under pants uploaded in Canada. Canada got lots of tender violet this week, but US got nada. We didn’t get any raspberry glo or berry rumble either. Lame.
Canada got the rest less hoodie (shown in tender violet). This style is new to North America, though it popped up down under a while ago. The color story this month is getting pretty girly with these pinks and purples.
New bag and two new prints: urban warrior duffel in pigment wind dragonfly (US only) and flashback static powdered rose tender violet/black grape. I’m wondering if this duffel will be the bag of the season instead of the weekend warrior they released the last two winters.
Praise hands emoji for regular fly away tamers coming back. I’m not 100% sure it’s not old stock since it’s only black and tender violet right now, but the skinny fly away tamers just don’t cut it.
Woohoo! Always nice when a favorite comes back. :)
Btw, I saw this today: https://www.facebook.com/lululemonLouisville/photos/pcb.1009743905712375/1009743765712389/?type=3&theater Lots more colors!
Omg on so many levels! I hope that’s pink shell!
I’m suspicious it’s bleached coral. There were quite a few things in that color in Aus this week.
That’s depressing, but at least my headbands are back.
The jacket sleeves look short to me. Especially with no cuffins :( Does it have thumbholes at least?
Love the pullover. I have last year’s version but my climate isn’t cold enough to get another one :( I just can’t justify 2 down pullovers when we don’t get much below 50 degrees. Lol!
Loving the colors though – I just wish they wouldn’t mess up the swiftly’s with patterns (Hong Kong upload). Pretty colors – ruined with zig zag stripes and florals together. *sigh* They “almost” got it.
the jacket and PO both have thumbholes. and the vest….I had to order it with its handy little side pocket….
The thumbholes are sneaky: https://images.lululemon.com/is/image/lululemon/LW4H79S_0001_9?$pdp_main$ I thought there were none at all at first!
This might be the first upload where I love every single thing–on your recap page I mean! Not wearing down will save me a lot of $! Trying hard to resist the green herringbone speed tight (I want the green toasty tech) but definitely will order the new duffel. Torn between both those prints you posted!
Yeah, I was wondering myself when the fuel toasty techs are gonna show up. My rebel runners in that color are going back, so I’m tempted to get a second pair of toasties instead.
why are the RRs going back? sheer?
No they’re opaque, the butt panel is a different shade than the rest of the pants. It’s weird-looking. I have a post in the works where you’ll see what I mean.
crap. I do know what you mean….I’ve had pants like that before but cannot remember which ones now
Not tempted by much…thankfully…since I just redid our master bedroom. Really wanting that dragonfly duffel though! And the forage teal vest is BEAUTIFUL! I really hope that saturated kelly green in the pigment dragonfly shows up in solids as well.
Yes, I love the teal and the contrast zipper–swoon!! I need to redo not just our master, but literally our whole house. Too bad I end up spending my extra money on workout clothes, haha.
Canada got all of the things this upload! I almost bought the Kanto Catch Me L/S in menthol because I was obsessed with the opal tuck and flow from last year…. but I just don’t like the Kanto at all. I wish it covered the bum :
Yeah, Canada’s upload was way better this week. Guess it has to go both ways sometimes. Sorry about your menthol woes. :( That sunshine coast LS that was in Aus would’ve been amazing in menthol. Too bad it never came to NA at all. >:
Bummer about no cuffins on the down jacket! I ordered one to try at home, but I’m thinking it will go back; not sure I’d get enough use out of it. I thought we might see it in black grape as well and wouldn’t be surprised if one shows up next week. That really sucks that it didn’t upload in a 2. Hopefully they’ll show up in stores…
I’m interested in the face the frost 1/2 zip, too, and in seeing the new duffel in person. What were the winter goodies you were looking forward to that didn’t upload? I’m very curious about what’s coming this winter. For some reason I feel like there are going to be some good surprises.
I wanted to get the jacket and vest in a 2, which didn’t upload, then I also was hoping to see a black grape jacket, ras glo CRB (maybe, I’ve already heard it’s not soft), runderful pants, and the face the frost. They do have 2s in stores though, it’s just a PITA to have to hassle with that since I may end up needing to return or exchange. Oh well.
I want the runderful and face the frost items, too! I hope the jacket and vest situation ends up good for you and relatively headache free.
I didn’t check the jacket, but the pull over came in a size 2 in stores. The Omaha, NE had size 2s in all 3 pullover colors as of this afternoon (will ship for phone orders I believe). I am a solid CRB size 2, but sized up to a 4 in the black as I felt it fit very snug. Just FYI!
Thanks for the tip! I’ve heard that many stores are getting the jacket in a 2, and the vest as well. I’ll have to try Omaha later today. :)
I got the black grape pullover. I personally think the style of the pullover is more interesting than the jacket. I also got the forage teal herringbone speed tights – no idea what to expect in terms of feel, but I couldn’t resist. Like you, I never owned a vest until a few months ago, and now I have 3 and I LOVE them! I wanted the forage teal vest, but in the description they called it “lightweight” and “transitional” – I thought it’d be 800 fill down like jacket/pullover. Maybe it is and I’m misunderstanding? I needed transitional clothes a month ago! Can’t believe you’re due for 6 inches of snow. I’m jealous – it’s eerily warm in the northeast. I was in a swiftly SS today! Nearly 70 degrees!
The PO does look like a nice design, but personally I just can’t see myself wearing it, so I’m skipping it. I’m also a bit concerned about the thickness of the vest and how warm it’ll be. My one vest is Lorna Jane, and it’s both quite puffy and is sherpa-lined, so it’s nicely heavy duty. And it did end up snowing quite a bit today! Probably at least 6″ based on what I had to brush off my car, haha, and it might not be done for the night! Seems we skipped right over fall…
I’m still holding out hope for fuel green lined studio pants to make it to Canada, but seeing another shade of green go up on my side tonight is making me lose heart. I tried to convince myself to settle for the forage teal, but it just reminds me too much of the colour of scrubs on a pant that has a fairly scrub-like shape to it :(
Me too Reilly!! I ordered the teal just to satisfy my green pant desires but I have the same reservations whether I’ll like them or not. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for fuel!
I’m not wild about the teal :( I’m basically in a ‘fuel green or bust’ mindset. I have a giftcard from Lulu from a pair of see-through WUP (midnight iris, anybody?), and I’m trying to hold out for something really good! Might end up spending it on that new grey scuba hoodie iii if the pants never come to Canada
Yeah I think fuel > forage here. You’re right that the forage looks a little scrub-y!
I got the black grape pullover with a gift card that I had been hanging onto for something great. I’m excited! I love the one from two years ago but hated the hood so I’m thrilled with this new version! It’s the opposite of the jacket (which, as you pointed out, added a hood instead of taking it away). I hope it lives up to my expectations.
Yeah, I’m afraid I won’t like the hood on the jacket, but I definitely am not interested in the PO, so we’ll see how it works out. At least there’s no vest to worry about with the vest, so my odds are pretty good there, hah. Hope the PO works out for you!! :)
I spy a white down for a run vest. nice.
I’m jealous of your snow possibility Suzanne!
I love vests. they are so functional for me because I am so hot natured. I love them for cold running and for hiking so I can lose some warmth from my arms and pits. but core stays warm….warm core, warm hands :)
Ooooh you’re right, in the duffel pic, I hadn’t noticed. :) I like vests because sleeves often get in the way when I’m doing things (e.g. typing), but vests still give me the warmth of another layer. My extremities do still get VERY cold though (pretty sure I have Raynaud’s), so that’s the only downside.
We’ve already gotten ~3″ and it’s going to be coming down all day. Pretty to look at, but unnerving since I have to drive later today…
oh nice on the snow! good luck driving ☺️
bummer about the raynaud’s….guess you need those new down gloves lulu just released ? ;)
I ordered the raspberry glo CRB, and Dance Studio Pants in Forage Teal and Black Grape. I’ve been eyeing a green and purple pair of the DSP for a while (although I was really hoping for Fuel Green not Forage Teal.They might be too bright for my color palette, we’ll see when they arrive.) Thanks for the tip about the bleeding issues with raspberry glo, I’ll do a small test when it arrives and let you know.
For some reason I’ve never been impressed with the Fluff line, which at least makes my wallet happy!
Lucky that you escaped the grip of the fluff. ;) Fingers crossed for you that either the fuel DSP come out or you like the forage teals!
I might be the only person who was kind of underwhelmed by the upload (US). Nothing for me tonight, though I might try the pullover on if it’s available next time I go to the store. It could be handy for fall hikes. Looking forward to the US getting the raspberry glo CRB. :)
I was a bit let down, too–didn’t get a single thing, though I’m going to try to call a store today for the vest and jacket in my size.
for all my size 2 petites out there – i ordered a bunch of the DFAR items in a size 4 even though i’m generally in between a 2/4, then happened to pop by the san francisco store today and to my surprise found a couple of size 2s there! according to the educator some of the bigger stores got the full size run even though it wasn’t available online. these down jackets seem to fit on the bigger side, ended up purchasing a size 2 vest and jacket in store.
