As we were promised on what we love this past Thursday, the sweaty or not capsule is the theme of tonight’s upload. This line is targeted toward gym/cardio, so a lot of the featured products this week are in a similar vein.
Well, well, look what we have here. A new solid cool racerback in alarming! (US only.) Just a couple of tops have appeared in alarming so far so I wouldn’t have guessed we’d see a CRB. Alarming is an older color that’s been brought back. Red is a rare sighting in lulu-land! I suppose you could say its appearance was a little…………….ALARMING. #sorry #lolnotreally
The sweaty or not bra in white is, oddly enough, probably my favorite item from the new capsule. It has a nice crisp look, and the styled photos on the main page really made it look nice. The black edging should also help it not stain so quickly from sweat. That said, I still don’t like it enough to buy.
The sweaty or not crops might’ve had potential, but there’s a little too much going on.
The breezy singlet uploaded in 3 colors for the US. This has been getting great reviews so far. For $58, it’s not a need for me, but I’d like to try it on sometime.
The new super squad shorts made their North American debut, which are totally not a direct stab at Nike tempo shorts… These aren’t the worst shorts though.
THESE. These are the most astonishingly awful shorts I have seen in a very long time. I can’t pick what part of them I like the least. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 (or $64, as the case may be), go directly to fashion jail.
US got the blush quartz sunset stripe speeds (Canada already got them), Canada got black diamond palms (US already got them), and both got classic stripe iris flower. No size 2 in classic stripe in the US, but there is a 2 in Canada. I can’t with this nonsensical size availability. Good thing I didn’t have my heart set on these.
I love these floral sport run times. Speeds, please?
OMG this bali breeze wrap it up tank is gorgeous (Canada only). Glad to see this lovely color back, and the new photo styling makes this really pop.
Canada got these new black high times pants with mesh detail. These showed up in different colors in Aus last week. To reiterate what I said then, these are strongly reminiscent of last year’s seek the heat crops. Also, I like the new photography, but some of the posing leaves me a little befuddled…
New to and flow wrap in iris flower. This is prettier than the other colors that have shown up thus far, though for some reason it looks a lot more blue in this fabric/photo than other items.
Other upload notes:
– Grapefruit high times pants in the US. These reverse to slate, though the slate side shows through to the grapefruit side quite a lot. No 2 or 12 in these. Canada got the grapefruit/slate WUP instead (all sizes).
– New dashing purple dance studio pants for Canada. No size 2.
– Touching on the new stock photo thing again, what is the point of this wrap it up tank pic…?
– The shady palms high times are now in Canada, too.
– As we were promised, the step lively crops are now available in the US. These are supposed to be a good stand-in for dance studio crops, but they’re only available in black and naval blue right now. Not much fun.
– Stripe play inspire crops are in the US. These are kind of fun.
– There’s also new black WAFS inspire tights on the US side, which are a nice basic that isn’t solid black. No new pace rivals online in the US (lullaby ace spot in Canada), although there are some new colors in stores.
Today I bought in stores the iris stripped speeds. I’m not crazy about the pretty purple waist but I love them with a teal green tank over it!!
As Kaitlin said there were other speeds coming to Canada, I was secretly hoping something fun (floral print maybe??) but oh, to my disappointment they were “black something” speeds… palm whatever they are called…. big doh.
Also I saw the grapefruit crb and confirmed I do not like the colour…
I wanted to try the seamlessly ombre crops but they are not sold in stores in MTL..
Yes teal would be gorgeous with those speeds! A lot of people seem to really like the black diamond palm speeds, but yeah, definitely not as exciting as something colorful and new.
I didn’t pull the trigger on that alarming CRB. I might live to regret that. And I did pick up the Iris Flower Sweaty or Not bra in store this morning, but I wanted the white too. I totally agree with you that it looks sharp and clean. The other thing I agree with you about is that there’s a little too much going on with the floral backdrop iris flower Sweaty or Not crops BUT…I bought them anyway! LOL. Another thing I might live to regret, but I just can’t get enough iris flower, what can I say?
I didn’t buy alarming either. I might go back for it since it’s not selling out super-fast, but I don’t wear a lot of red, so I’m not sure that it’d be a good addition. My wallet needs a break anyway. :P The iris flower print is pretty, so I can’t say I totally blame you for your sweaty or not purchases. ;)
Is alarming red or orange? depending on the pic I see, or the screen I’m using I see orange, deep orange or coral. I’m dying for a true red!
So, I haven’t seen it in real life, but my understanding is that it’s pretty red, but definitely has orange undertones. Not quite a true red, I don’t think. Probably more red than love red, though, and certainly more red than atomic “red”, lol.
I love the alarming CRB; however, I already have flaming tomato. Don’t they seem similar?
Yeah, I think those 2 would be really close, probably wouldn’t make sense to have both unless you just really, really like red. :)
Uf now I really want that CRB!!
Those long mesh shorts are a new level of awfulness for Lulu. Nothing for me but I did pick up from Haute Look a pair of Beyond Yoga crops in the gorgeous seaglass (Bali breeze ish) color I’ve been lusting after for a year. Also, it looks like Fabletics has some cute things coming out tomorrow for July (I haven’t bought anything from them in a while).
Seaglass looks like such a beautiful color! Nice selection. :)
OT-AA, do you follow any type of nutritional plan? Just curious what works for your exercise regimen.
The short answer is no. I don’t fall under any category (e.g., paleo, vegetarian, IIFYM, etc) or have any specific restrictions (e.g., gluten). I just try to eat real/whole food as much as possible and limit things that make me feel/perform poorly like refined flour, sugar, and to some extent dairy. I am a very picky eater (I basically have the dietary preferences of an ornery 5-year-old, haha), have a low appetite, and lose weight too easily, so if I am too strict, I can’t get myself to eat nearly enough to sustain my activity level/weight (not to mention am very unhappy about it). So, a fair amount of compromise has proven necessary, though I’m always striving for gradual, sustainable improvement. :)
Really wanted to like the Sweaty or Not Crops, but I agree with you in that there’s just a bit too much party going on in the back. Mullet Crops?
I don’t know about everyone else, but I often roll around on the ground staring at my feet up in the air. Oh wait, no I don’t.
As for those shorts. THOSE AWFUL SHORTS. Who’s the designer that came up with them, and why did said designer’s supervisor say YEAH these are a good idea, let’s send them into production?
*facepalm*
Haha, I had the same thought: not only did someone have to design these, but they had to be ok’d by multiple people throughout the process. Lots of drugs?
Those shorts are so ugly!! They remind me of what a guy would wear to the beach in high school. Maybe this is a delayed April Fool’s joke? Yuck!
Someone pointed out that they look like the liner of a men’s swim trunks. I thought that was pretty spot on!
Why does the CRB in Alarming show some photos with a white stitch around the neckline and others don’t have it? which is it Lulu? White stitch or no????
CRBs sometimes have contrasting stitching on one side of the tank, which is what you’re seeing in the pics.
Thanks. I went ahead and ordered it. I have NOTHING red in a top and this seems to be the closest to a red that ive seen. And I have so many speeds that the Alarming can go with. I have the Love Red speed shorts and that’s is in the red category.
