Holy poop!!!!
Next week has so much ridiculousness happening. I mean that in a good way.
First off: next week’s first upload will be happening Sunday night, not the usual Tuesday. This is only for this week for Cyber Monday, next week we will go back to Tuesday. The second upload of the week will be Thursday. I’m not sure which of these items will be in which upload.
Britt also noted that in the chaos of the holiday season, her picks moving forward may not be perfectly accurate as far as timing goes.
Also, I was super-pleased that this week, Britt’s picks is split up into multiple photos–this is so much easier for sharing with you guys than cropping it manually.
The exquisite capsule, which we’ve seen overseas, will finally hit North America next week.
The fluff off jacket and pullover are returning! These were first made last year and will be up in the current season’s colors online only. I love my jacket from last year. The white stained glass love looks so pretty, although it might get dirty easily.
New flurry fighter pullover coming made of tech fleece. It looks a bit like the stay on course pullover from a couple years ago. Also, we’ve already seen the free to be wild bras in Canada stores, but they’ll make it online next week.
A new wild tank (based on the free to be wild) is coming to Canada. It looks like it has more coverage and support than the FTBW bra, which is intriguing.
Finally!! The black striped scarf from the product banner! It’s not black and white, but black and nimbus, which is off-white. I think I’m going to be giving this one a go, but not 100% sure yet. I’m a little sad it’s not white/black after all. Also, those who were wishing for rolldown coco piques can snag black coco pique high times pants.
New speed tights prints coming. The new unbreakable print is gorgeous, I love it. I also love that Britt added the color names to the descriptions! Giant herringbone speed tights are coming too. Both are full-on luxtreme–I kind of wish they were brushed, but I guess you can’t have it all.
The fatigue camo mind and body kit will be coming to North America–I know lots of people will be excited about this. Also, the new mini check pique ultra violet that was previewed in the UK this week will be coming in a vinyasa scarf! Lulu definitely pulled out all the stops on overloading us with textured vinyasas this season. You can’t see the ribbon in this pic, but hopefully it’s not clashy like the nightfall herringbone situation.
if those coco pique pants are made of the same quality material as the diamond jacquard pants, i am SOLD.
FWIW, my coco pique WUP from last year are pretty divine. Similar to diamond jacquard in cozy wonderfulness.
Seriously with the damn vinyasas. I have bought 3 already this season.
I’ve bought 3 also, but only keeping 1 so far. Not sure I’ll be getting the UV. For some reason I don’t reach for the colored vinyasas like I do the neutrals.
I’ve bought 5 this season! I’m keeping the coco pique & the quilted rugged blue ones. Phew. :)
Yikes, I feel so wanty and this is just a preview!
Btw, I went to the store today and IMO the Rest Less Pullover (black) is awesome. I know you were bummed that it’s not rulu, but it’s also not just a Swiftly with a pattern on it. The inside of it is soft like brushed fabric I guess, the outside is like a thick textured Swiftly. The fit was flattering and I like the print a lot. I paid for it mostly with a gift card and was feeling so pleased with myself until I saw this Britt’s Picks, ha!
Between this and black friday deals, I might be living in a cardboard box by the end of next week. :P (Or, more likely, crying myself to sleep over all the stuff I missed out on.)
Thanks for the note on the rest less PO. It’s still a little more than I want to pay, but I will definitely be hawking resale boards and markdowns, it might be more reasonable for me to pick it up for a little less. Especially with the above mentioned “situation”. :)
Does anyone know what the difference is between the high times pant and the rolldown WUP?
the WUP is longer. high times are 7/8 pants.
and I think the high times aren’t meant to roll down, just a high waisted pant. I like mine.
Ok. I wasn’t sure, because in the website they have them in the crops section where they clearly are 7/8 length but that Britt’s picks picture looks like they are longer. Whatever the case, they sure are tempting :)
I’m 64in and the high times crops that I have hit right at my ankle, without bunching/pooling of fabric like a WUP does. the pic shown here does look more like a WUP. not sure the height of that model but it seems like she’s not much taller than me, would be surprised if she were any taller than 67in or so based on the length of stuff on her vs on me. (unlike the blond model who looks like she’s 70in!).
re: roll down WU vs high times, the RDWU have a second logo printed on the waist so that if you roll them down, you can see the logo. don’t think my HT have that; just a high waist.
I’m 67in, so I think that would be a great lenght for me! I get your point about the logo on the back. I never wear my rolldown WUPs actually rolled down, so that wouldn’t matter. Thanks for your help!
My coco pique vinyasa and RYP LS both got rather…fuzzy in texture. I took them back and they agreed to return hit at the time I was so attached to both of them! Now hoping new neutral Rulu pullovers (okay black, I live in New York) are coming soon because they look pretty shabby. Plus I have too many textured long sleeves already!
I ordered the Fluffed Up PO in black and will be super gluing the bottom zippers shut so they don’t fly up every time I bend down to pick up a dog poop. That design brain fart aside, this makes an excellent NY winter dog walking pullover (great hood! swell at being warm and wind breaking!) Except for when I have to turn the whole thing inside out to take it off. Ugh. Forgot that part.
New sequin shimmer shimmy cocoa puff whatever is really starchy and stiff. It might look glittery and fun from a distance (or in a dimly lit photo, ahem) but not up close. Caved and got the lab moto jacket thing. It’s a great structured sweatshirt moto jacket. I wear a lot of leather jackets so it’s kind of like jeggings for us biker girls! Not sure how it’s going to do with lulu’s audience overall. That scoop neck was TINY on the hanger; I didn’t feel like having to squeeze into a 6 only to have a face off with my back fat. Otherwise my local Black Friday in store experiences underwhelmed. Since there is all this buzz about an upload for Cyber Monday will that include a ton of markdowns too? “traditionally” that term refers to getting great “door busters” on the internet rather than at a brick and mortar store.
I’m wondering what you think about sizing of the lab fleece jacket. I usually order 8s in scubas, running jackets, down jackets; 6s in crb, vests, most other Ts. I ordered 6 in lab because of boxy fit and I doubt I’d be layering much underneath.
what do you think of sizing of it?
“Sequin shimmer shimmy cocoa puff”–I lol’d. Awesome.
I heard someone else say the scoop neck was a size up item. I’m on the small end of my size up top, so I’m not sure whether I’ll try a size up or stay TTS or just skip out altogether. Wish I could try it on in stores–ugh.
I don’t think there will be any additional online markdowns on Sunday/Monday. I think the markdowns they took Thu evening were their BF/CM specials, at least until next Thu/Fri when they do their regular weekly markdowns. They do big MDs for Boxing Day, though, so that’ll probably be the next big wave of half-decent deals.
Really liking a lot of these new things. I have a few things I need to return at Lulu so need to do a differential to see if I can break even. Very interested in the pullover but want to see more of it. Last week I got another first base tank & a fleece vinyasa on MD. Just got them today & love them both.
