After so many teasers in the Asian and European uploads today, I was expecting the North American uploads to come in with a bit more of a boom tonight, but actually, things were pretty tame. Not too many amazing pieces, and no swim, unlike what I predicted. Perhaps next week? Instead, the focus seemed to be on the new updated groove pants.
Big colorways tonight are definitely black cherry, blue tropics, and lots of star crushed variations. There’s also still a lot of moody mirage floating around, plus clear mint and sugar crush are on the rise. Earth tones are almost out of the mix, but there are still a few stragglers floating around.
Star crushed black cherry speed shorts are up in the US only. Thankfully, these *did* upload in a size 2. I ordered them because I’m a speeds whore but what else is new. The heathered blue tropics speeds did not upload, neither did the nimbus puff from the UK earlier today. Canada got nada for speeds.
Moody mirage bark berry free to be wild bra. US only, but it did upload in a full size run, 2-12.
Canada did get a new wild tank instead, though: deep navy/star crushed.
White moody mirage define jacket, US only.
New variation of high times tech mesh pants: these have a shine finish and a dot pattern on the mesh. Canada only.
Canada got both inspire tights (shown) and inspire crops in the pretty coal black star crushed print.
Both US and Canada got the black cherry star crushed inspire tights.
Yes, that’s right, more star crushed run bottoms: black cherry and black coal top speed crops in the US.
Oh and don’t forget the black cherry star crushed pace pushers! I don’t like these as much as the top speed crops.
The deep navy/sea mist pique vinyasa uploaded. This was first seen in Australia a couple weeks ago and I wasn’t sure it would make it here since we’re moving away from textures, but here it is.
Star crushed pack to reality backpack. The new run backpack from the UK earlier today didn’t upload on either side.
Also, the sweat to street hobo uploaded, first seen internationally a couple weeks ago.
Yet MORE bags: the runaway retreat duffel (the new stripe is called “dobby stripe”) and the hip to be free bag are in Canada. The rejuvenate yoga tote also popped up in another color in Canada.
Other upload notes:
– Of course, the groove pants are up in regular and tall, including solid black cherry, black, and naval blue. The heathered black are only in regular length, and not in 2 or 12.
– Fatigue fo drizzle landed in the US and Canada.
– There appears to be another liiiittle preview of the pigment wave print on the waistband of new inspire crops in Canada. The inspires are labeled as “black/mini blushed illusion white multi” but it doesn’t look like blushed illusion, it *definitely* looks like pigment wave.
– This heathered blue tropics adjustable all sport bra is quite pretty. The heathered blue tropics what the sport shorts are also cute, although I have to wonder whether they’re sheer. The shorts are only in Canada.
– The find your om scarves uploaded to Canada, minus the black/white stripe.
– The only things to appear from the retreat line tonight are the bra and shorts, and both are in Canada only. I’m guessing there will be a bigger drop of these with a whole upload devoted to highlighting that line in coming weeks.
– New solid black cherry run times shorts in the US only. Canada got naval blue/clear mint hyperstripe instead.
– Naval blue and black cherry wunder under crops for the US.
– Pretty space dye black cherry swiftly SS in Canada. Canada also got the new herringbone black cherry swiftly racerback.
– The clear mint/black reversible wunder under crops are in the US. No size 2 or 12. In the stock pics, the black seems to show through and make the clear mint side much less vibrant.
– Moody mirage bark berry wunder under crops in Canada.
– New fatigue green wunder under pants on both sides.
– The yogini trouser pants are back, although they appear to be late since they uploaded in colors from winter.
– The heinous tranquility pants are up. Now don’t you all go and order at once…
Love the star crushed print. Lots of things I want to get but I’m abstaining! I even let the FTBW alone. I only bought a skinny fly away tamer. Also, that black cherry swiftly looks almost identical to the bordeaux drama swiftly that came out back in August.
I think it’s too heathered or space dyed to differentiate, which is too bad cuz Black Cherry is beautiful.
Yes! I prefer black cherry over bordeaux. Itjust didn’t look good with my skin tone.
From other comparisons I’ve seen, BC is MUCH more purple-toned than BD, so I’m betting if you put them next to each other, it would be a similar difference as the pigment/harbor comparison (just, you know, red).
Yea I have pigment l/s already but I may get harbor as well if it uploads in a s/s, because you know, I gotta get all the swiftlies.
Lulu! Throw Canada a bone! No black cherry or moody mirage define jackets? And still no moody mirage WU crops. Nothing for me on this upload. At least my husband is happy :(
Your disqus handle seems relevant right now: LuluLes is lulu-less. ;) Not sure why the delays with the white MM crops, lots of people are getting impatient over that, it seems.
LOL! Yes, oh SO fitting! If the handle fits, wear it- orrrr not when it comes to Lulu selectively dispensing their goodies! I honestly don’t know why I am so stuck on the white MM crops but it is definitely making me MOODY. The white MM pants made a brief appearance on the Canada side before selling out within a day. I had a chance to order them, went back and forth, but in the end decided to hold out hope for the crops. Now I wish I would’ve killed the madness by ordering them, receiving them, not liking the print and returning them, haha. Funny thing is- I’m not even a huge lover of patterned bottoms! I guess I am just struggling more with a case of wanting what you can’t haves. It sucks.
I completely know the feeling! I missed out on an auction for chevron speed shorts and have been KICKING myself like every day since! I never wanted them that badly before, but now I’ve been basically obsessing over them since. :P The psychology of lulu is such a funny thing, lol.
Nothing for me again. I was hoping for some pieces in electric coral to show up…hope this isn’t another nice color that randomly appears once, never to be seen again.
I hope so too, it looks like such a nice color! Unfortunately it seems like it’s definitely playing second fiddle to a lot of other colors right now. Maybe even third fiddle. :P
So glad clear mint is making a comeback. One of my fav colors.
Agree! The Clear Mint CRB is very pretty IRL.
They sure do love the green-toned yellows, much like they seem to love the orange-toned reds. I don’t have anything in clear mint. Not sure if that’ll change this year. It does seem nice, like maybe between zippy green and ray.
Agree! Clear mint was one of my favorite colors last summer. It goes with everything.
Yes! I have the clear mint swiftly racerback and I want to wear it with everything lol. Love love love it.
Aww I wished the Vintage Pink came in the CRB instead of the Studio Racerback. What a CRB drought :(
The FTB in Blue Tropics is tempting, but I just bought the Menthol version. I like the Groove pants, but at 5″1, I’m not sure if there’s any more flare after hemming. Unsure about the back seams too. It’s an easy pass until I visit a store to try them on.
Keen on the Black Cherry SSs, but not feeling the urgency to make an immediate buy, as there are now 22 4-way SSs designs on LLM’s website, out of which 19 are still available in size 4. Sounds like a huge stock up.
OT, just tried on Glyder’s Performa Tank in Lime/Aqua. It’s the love child of LLM’s Menthol & Clear Mint CRBs LOL. The size S fits LLM 4/6. The fabric is soft, very stretchy but on the thinner side compared to CRBs. The length is approx Ivivva’s size 14.
I bet you would be fine hemming the grooves. Since the cut doesn’t have a dramatic knee break, they would probably still have a very similar look even with a few inches chopped off. My old grooves were hemmed to 28.5″, and even with that much more dramatic knee break, there’s still quite a lot of flare left.
And yes, speeds are definitely much slower to sell out these days. Rasp glo and vintage pink are the only ones that have sold out in recent weeks. Most have full size runs. I haven’t exactly been rushing to order either. They don’t seem to be marking them down, though, which is a shame.
Thanks for the note about the Glyder tank! I wish they’d put out some more solid colors, they could be a nice CRB alternative.
Good to hear that about the grooves! :D Can’t wait to try them on. Love the lankier bohemian silhouette/style and LLM is way more affordable than Gucci LOL. Think the grooves would be perfect. Love my full-on Luon Still Pants, but I think all that extra fabric makes the pants feel heavier.
I got into the SSs game late, but I’m buying about three-four pairs every 6 months. Trying to decide if that’s reasonable, and if I’ll have a good shot at limiting the collection size to no more than 15 pairs of SSs in the long run :)
A year ago I only had 5 or 6 pairs. At the time, I told myself a collection of 15 would be a reasonable place to end up. Unfortunately, the black cherries I just ordered this week are my 15th pair, so it looks like I’m going to be pushing that limit out…yikes. It sure does sneak up on you!
LOL! You’ll need to set a new limit? Can’t imagine letting go of any of the SSs unless they don’t fit well anymore.
I’ve sold a few for fit reasons, but there’s a handful I’ve sold off because I just needed to cut back or they were too similar to other pairs. It pains me every time, though. At this point, I don’t think there are any I could bear to part with, so I guess I will just have to increase my limit to 20-25. :P At least they don’t take up much space!
That’s true! And summer is approaching, you can never have too many SSs then :D
I’m interested in the Speeds, buuuuttt… I’d rather have the Blue Tropic ones when they come out. I’ve made a deal with myself – if the crushed star black cherry speeds are still in my size when the blue tropic speeds become available, I’ll buy both :)
I seem to be the only one who’s not buying the tropics. I already have the ones from last year and I like them just fine. Also, every time I see them, some part of my brain tells me that the shades of the trim and body don’t *quite* match. Also, I’m betting the BC will still be in stock next week. Almost NOTHING has sold out lately, except raspberry glo and vintage pink.
I’m not getting the tropics too. :D I have the pretty ones from last year, and prefer the trims and waistband with greater contrast.
Where is the “All Sport Support” tank??? :( I expected we’d be getting the swim line soon too. These last few weeks have been kind of “meh” for me, which is easy on my wallet at least :P
Yeah, overall for me, these past few weeks have had *some* things I like, but virtually nothing tempting enough for me to pull the trigger, speed shorts aside.
I’m with you ladies. Nothing I’m drooling over. Still waiting for the miss misty jacket to be uploaded in silver fox. My store sent a PN with some new, awful floral. Yay.
