Yup, upload was super-boring tonight. Thankfully this means no “OMG I need this” wallet-killing surprises at least. Upload was especially unremarkable for the US. Canada had a little more of an interesting array.
Of course, the pièce de résistance of upload was the cyber stripe high times. TTS seems to be the verdict on these.
Cashew fo drizzle jacket in Canada.
Pretty blue tropics scuba hoodie for Canada, plus the black cherry star crushed scuba. Both have been seen in Canada stores.
More in Canada: the brushed animal and blushed illusion water bound hoodies.
I just want to know why this free to be bra picture is crooked? (Sea mist/silver fox classic stripe, Canada only.)
Nice hardware on the new cashew on the daily hoodie. Canada only.
Another quiet stripe item has emerged out of the woodwork: quiet stripe strawberry milkshake studio racerback (US only). When the energy bra in this print came out a couple weeks ago, people were freaking out that maybe the most coveted of all coveted WUs (i.e., the QS WUC) might be coming back. I expect this might rekindle some rumors, but based on what we’ve seen so far, I seriously doubt QS will be back in any meaningful way. And anyway, this particular color combo looks like it belongs in a nursery if you ask me. Can’t say I’m a fan.
New bark berry sweat & go bag for Canada (this is in Canada stores also), plus another color for the US.
I’m a little jealous that Canadians got the run all day backpack. I like this, but am curious to see if there will be more colors than clear mint and black.
Other upload notes:
– Moody mirage bark berry WUP in Canada.
– The paddle line of swim is now in Canada (it was already in the US last week), including the crop top, one piece, and tights.
– Star crushed tracker shorts are here.
– 3 colors of the weekend long sleeve in the US, including the really cute lux indigo stripe.
– Trail bound 1/2 zip and 7/8 tights are up.
– The yeah yoga tank is back in 4 colors.
– New heathered blue tropics run times shorts. Unlike the speeds version, there’s no contrast trim on these.
– The chevron ebb and flow bra we were promised on what we love last week is nowhere to be seen. I suppose it got delayed somehow.
– I guess Canada never got an upload of the white silver fox pique vinyasa since it’s on the what’s new page.

Only the weekend LS for me and I might return because I heard it runs large. Otherwise it was a snoozefest. I also really like the run all day backpack. Looks perfect for hikes.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Agree about the backpack, and I go on so many hikes that I would *actually* use it. I’m embarrassed to admit I’m usually accompanied by either a free UNC string pack that is literally held together by glue, or a 10-year-old TJMaxx Adidas backpack. I shit you not. It’s a pretty heinous situation. My bf thinks I should get an Osprey pack instead, and I kind of agree, but MATCHING. If the pack comes in tropics I’ll have a hard time resisting.
cadet_blue says
Blue tropics is my jam…. after cadet blue ;). My hubs is a hiking/hunting/military pack hoarder and if I bring a lululemon bag to one of our hikes he might divorce me, but whatevs. lol
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Haha! You do you, I’ll back you up on this one, lol.
peachy says
I got the backpack in black 2 years ago and have loved it ever since. Perfect for hikes and city use alike. It has actually held up really well too.
Samantha says
Yep, I scrolled to the bottom and thought, that was it? oh well. I’m hoping for gully green to make some surprise appearances soon.
Michelle says
I’m waiting for Vintage Green! Good God I want some green so bad!
Marshmallow says
Ditto, waiting impatiently for Vintage Green! I will be so sad if we don’t get it!
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
I think Katelin said a week or two ago that gully green would be showing up more in the summer, so probably May-ish or later. I might be making that up though, lol.
YogaGal33 says
Grr…where’s the navy CRB for the U.S.? Lame upload.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Canada had to wait quite a while for the black cherry CRB to go up online, so maybe it’s the same story for the US with navy.
shavarama says
it is very much appreciated that you spelled the French expression you used correctly. +1 for you in my books :) keep up the good work!
and taking about this pièce de résistance, i bought them today. they are see-through, but i’m probably keeping them anyways!
Samantha Simons says
Are they?! I have the cyber stripe in the inspires but because I’m only 4’11” the leg opening is too low/loose so I’d planned on grabbing them Bummer. :(
shavarama says
i tried the pants on with bright blue undies and i could see them in a slight bend forward. if you wear thongs or light coloured full undies it should be ok. that’s what i’ll do!
(ughh! i meant “talking” not “taking” in my initial post.)
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
The sheerness reports seem to be spotty. As shavarama notes, even in the worst case it’s not bad with good underwear choices.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Heh, I took a few semesters of French so I can’t help myself. Every time someone on the internet says “viola” or “wala”, a tiny French kitten dies…
Jenn @ Running on Lentils says
I’m so sad. Why do the things I actually want never make it to upload??? Still waiting on that silver fox miss misty jacket! Only thing that interested me tonight is the weekend LS but I’ll wait to try it on. Definitely interested in that run backpack…if that makes it to our upload. Who knows.
Jenn @ Running on Lentils says
Good thing I checked. The silver fox miss misty was stealth uploaded!
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Good. :) I want the backpack in blue tropics, but I’m not convinced they’ll make it in more colors.
Jenn @ Running on Lentils says
Went from sad to happy! In addition to getting the miss misty (which I’m only 50% sure I’ll keep since I haven’t tried it on), I got some things I’ve been eying for a while: all sport bra in menthol, what the sport singlet in black cherry, and fringe fighter in clear mint. Just haven’t been able to get to a store to try things on, so I’m curious how the miss misty, what the sport, and fringe fighter will fit.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Nice haul. :) I’ve been curious about the fringe fighter too, as it seems to be replacing the bang buster. The BB is the only headband I wear so I’m hoping the fringe fighter is an acceptable substitute.
peachy says
Painful upload. I would like to try the yeah yoga tank if my store gets it. Also would love for the water bound hoodies to be there (US) when I go… Otherwise… ??
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Cheap month for me…
peachy says
thankfully, for me too! No water bounds yet but they said “soon!!” and no tank either.
cadet_blue says
I have two waterbound hoodies from last year. My fave LLL item by far. I hope you get one!
Deb says
I don’t think I’ve bought any Lulu this month. I had ordered the Blue Harbour Energy Bra and got one with a funky fit (WTH?) and ended up returning it. What a lacklustre month. Good for my wallet at least.
Marshmallow says
Same thing happened to me with the moody mirage energy bra I ordered. How weird, and such a disappointment.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
You and Marshmallow scared me a little bit. I had my harbor energy bra shipped from a store and hadn’t tried it on yet–I had just assumed it would fit. Put it on just now and it seems to fit normally. Odd.
Deb says
I’m glad yours fit. Mine was much smaller than usual – I actually checked the label because I was sure I got a 6 instead of an 8. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this kind of variance – my others all fit the same.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
You know, it did feel tight when I put it on, but given the fact that most of my energy bras are older (and therefore stretched) at this point, I chalked it up to just being new. To be sure, I held it up to my one other NWT energy bra and they appeared to be the same. I didn’t hold it up to one of my other ones though–if it still matches up, maybe the stretch on harbor just has slightly less give? Not sure. I’m out of town so I can’t investigate further. :)
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Also, agreed, totally a lackluster month so far.
Marshmallow says
Nothing for me today, either. I was tempted to get a second Weekend LS (I bought inkwell on MD in store last release and wear it all the time!) but I was near a store today, tried it on, and ended up being meh about the colors. I could see myself regretting not getting the blue/white stripe one, but when I tried on, I didn’t feel like it was a must have for me.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Sounds like if you tried it on and passed, there shouldn’t be any regret later…hopefully…
Jane_Doe says
Not a single CRB uploaded – still waiting for Clear Mint or Navy. :(
Surely LLM can’t blame port issues at this point? It’s been months.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
I’m not sure of the details with the port shenanigans. I don’t think it’s cleared up yet, and I don’t think anyone but lulu knows the ins and outs of how it affects lulu as far as the exact timing. So, it *could* be a reason I suppose.
guest says
Re: Port issues – the tentative labor agreement barely happened on February 20th. It has not been “months”. Currently it isn’t set for a vote till April by union members to ratify and accept that tentative agreement. Currently in the Port of Los Angeles it’s still backlogged with approx. 26 ships still sitting out in the ocean waiting to be unloaded with 33 currently being loaded/unloaded. So yes, actually, the back log could still be a factor. It’s been less than one month and it takes time to play catch up in what is one of the busiest ports in the United States.
Jane_Doe says
The port issues were first reported by Bloomberg since last december, that was why I thought it had been quite a while.
Guest says
The port issues and union talks went on for a very long time before they ever reached even the tentative agreement at the end of February so it’s pretty backlogged. It will be awhile
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
Thanks for the input on this! I had kind of wondered where this was and this is a useful summary. :)
Jane_Doe says
Thanks! Hope everything works out : )
Laura says
Were the white trackers new? I don’t wear those, so I don’t actively search for them on upload days. I would be one happy girl if they made solid white speeds (and I know I’m not the only one).
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
I think those were added a week or two ago. There was a pic months ago (of something else) that had white speeds in it. Maybe they’ll show up…
Samantha Simons says
Might get the star crush trackers now that I’m cleared to wear shorts again and have put on weight. Really wanted the High Times in cyber stripe but some (including below) say they’re sheer? Wish we would see gully green.
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
I mentioned this below, but I think more gully green is coming in a couple of months.
grumblemama says
Yawn. I’m in Florida and it’s already balls hot here and I’m chomping at the bit for more hot-weather appropriate stuff. So sick of LS and hoodies and whatnot. Although I did snap up a Refresh Racer dress, which magically got restocked! Can’t wait for it to get here!
Suzanne | Agent Athletica says
I’m still wrapped up in my heated blanket most days–would love to borrow some of FL’s heat. :P
cadet_blue says
I hear you! I’m in FL too and it was 80 degrees in the panhandle today!
grumblemama says
I’m near Gainesville and we’ve already had days in the 90s! I need skirts and shorts and tanks, darnit!
