This week’s lulu previews comin’ at ya via what we love:
The cool to street bra is making its US/Canada debut. Although the cool to street bra zips all the way open, there’s a hook underneath which makes it easier to get into but also guards against serious wardrobe malfunctions.
Also from the cool to street capsule: tank and crops. Based on last week’s cool to street drop in Australia, you can expect to see lots of blush quartz, banana leaf, blue denim, gator green, and jazzy print–definitely a more muted capsule. I’m wondering if this drop will also include the special edition cool to street high times pants.
On the slightly brighter side, looks like we might expect to see more alarming in July, like this new swiftly scoop. Gator green looks like it’s a staple color this season, since we’re moving into I think the third month that it’s been lingering. This will coordinate with some of the items in the cool to street drop.
I definitely wasn’t expecting to see swiftly 1/2 zips this time of year! In addition to iris flower shown here, Australia also has one in grapefruit–maybe we’ll see both? If you can handle buying 3 months in advance, these could be pretty. Also on the run side of things, greyt/pretty purple run times shorts coming to Canada. If you’re in the US, these are already in stores. I doubt we’ll see speeds like this since there’s already greyt/black and greyt/grapefruit speeds.
On the to and from side of things, we’re getting the new city summer dress. This is already in stores, both in black and floral sport white multi. It doesn’t do the models many favors in the stock photos I’ve seen, but some of the store pics don’t look too bad. Lastly, WUC coming in gingham. Gingham was out a couple years ago and it didn’t do super great if I remember correctly. It’s definitely not a hot item on the secondhand market either. Of all the patterns to bring back, this wouldn’t have been my first pick. But I’ve at least heard a few people say they like these, so maybe this time it’ll do better.
Eh. The muted colors don’t do anything for me. Well, I guess I should add the new styles don’t do anything for me either. I like the back (and the front the more I look at it) of the cool to street bra. But the zipper could be problematic, but more importantly (on a personal note), I don’t think it would be super flattering on me. I’m an A cup at best. If it comes to my local store, I may try it on just to see.
Perhaps it’ll be another safe week for my wallet, which would be much needed. Lol.
On another note, re: your goal list- awesome! You are crazy strong! Major accomplishments. I like how your lifts you singled out are my personal favorites (ohs, snatch, c&j). I have my own list going, too. Muscles ups have been on it forever. Hopefully, by the end of the year. I’m sure you’ll keep crossing off things one by one and at the years end, it’ll be such an accomplishment to look back and see your progress.
Yeah, neither the styles nor the color schemes do much for me either, which is fine by me for now! I’m trying to keep purchases minimal for the month of July, since new fall collections will start rolling out in August, and that’ll be a big hit I’m sure. Also, thank you so much!! Aside from lots of strict pull-up and ring dip work, I also worked on a lot of band assists on low rings to work the transition mechanics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbEUM6KQNzg (you can also hang the band from the bar and sit in it like a swing) That said, I’ve still only gotten one EVER (for the open, so that was awfully convenient!), so I’m far from an expert. :)
Carl Paoli is the best.
Hi ,i am wondering how did you get this page because when i am signing in heylululemon it gives me previous upload, i open it with your link but if i go to what we love i still can’t see it
I had the same problem. I went to the main page and found it as one of the discussion topics below. It wasn’t linked to the header yet.
The heylululemon site seemed to be a bit buggy for me yesterday, too. In the evening when I went to the new post, it was working fine. I don’t really have a good explanation, maybe I just got lucky. :)
I returned the grapefruit crb and bought the speed shorts in the same color instead- it’s still bright but slightly more muted. The wider waistband (by almost an inch on my pair) is flattering on shorter torsos, I think!
The pleat to street skirt in grapefruit was gorgeous! But not available in 4 at my store :(
Tried on the run times in coal, not an exciting pair for me.
Thanks for the notes on the grapefruit speeds. I’m interested in how the wide waistband will end up looking. Too bad about the pleat to street though!
I thought about it and decided speed shorts are more classic even though the pleat to street skirts are definitely cute, sometimes too cute for me :D
I like the wider waistband, perhaps a much needed update as iPhones keep getting bigger.
I was wondering if the wide waistband was just for the block-it pocket speeds, but hmm, I wonder if they might be changing it for other speeds as well?
I wondered too. If this were going to be an inconsistent feature, then buying speed shorts online in the future requires all my analytical and research skills… are they sheer? liner tighter than usual? size inconsistency? Print placement? and add on … waistband width. :D
