Upload 8/19: Herringbone Frenzy

August 19, 2014 / 20 Comments

I GOT MY HERRINGBONE VINYASA.

I FEEL ALMOST MANIACAL.

LW9H82S_0001_3

Ok, actually, full disclosure:

There were TWO herringbone vinyasas.  This black herringbone was a surprise.

………I got both.

I couldn’t pick!

NOT EVEN SORRY.

The white herringbone was sold out within 15 minutes of upload.  I actually didn’t notice the black at first–I saw a black swatch and assumed it was solid black and was on a BEELINE for checkout after hearing horror stories from Canadians of the white herringbone being snatched up in the middle of checkout last week.  The black took a little longer to sell out at something under 25 minutes–I wonder if people were so focused on the white that they didn’t notice the white (like me), or if the white is just the crowd favorite?  Canada didn’t get the black herringbone this week.  Since they got white a week earlier than us, now we’re even.

Heathered bordeaux drama scuba.  I would wear the crap out of this.  OOPS, spent all my money on vinyasas.

Black camo forme on US side because camo JUST.WON’T.DIE.

LW4E88S_015778_1

Pine stripe forme (denim textured, looks like rose gold hardware.

LW4E44S_016076_1

Speaking of denim!  Canada only got this inkwell denim forme.  They call it “*sashiko” but it only has a little block of sashico patterning on the sides so let’s call a spade a spade here.  It’s a denim forme to me.

Someone made the astute observation that this great granite blazer vest totally looks like a hunting vest.  Yikes.

LW1H09S_9359_1 New heathered deep coal cool racerback.

What, what, what.  This is the comme to cozy sack dress.  It’s made of french terry, which is presumably how it got it’s name.  Only Canada got the apex jailbird stripe.  Nope nope nope.

LW4E74S_015129_3

Find your centre wrap, Canada only, shown in heathered speckled black.  Another hot mess, yours for only $138!

(*Super important question*: will it be the find your centER wrap in the US?…)

LW2540S_015489_3

Solid bumble berry energy bra, Canada only.

LW5E67S_9626_2

Rugged blue ebb to street pants, Canada only.  Bordeaux drama is there, too–I’m pretty sure that’s new.

LW5F06S_015119_2

Fuel green rolldown shine tights, Canada only.  More fuel green please.

LW6C96S_015537_2

Sashico star wunder under crops in luon, because apparently lulu wants to make every possible variation of sashico WUC.  So far we’re up to: – Sashico cross WUC, rolldown – Sashico star WUC, luxtreme – Sashico star WUC, luon – Sashico quilt WUC

Plus the WUPs.  SO MUCH SASHICO.

LW6D39S_016105_2

Bordeaux drama inspire crops with some funky waistband quilt action.  US only, no size 2 or 12.

LW6D62S_015304_5

US finally got bumble berry wunder under crops.  No size 12 was uploaded.  A commenter mentioned these were sheer–proceed with caution.

LW9F50S_015663_3

Back to class backpack in pacific check inkwell/ghost.  This print is a bit more masculine than lulu’s usual fare for women, but cute.

Honorable mentions: bordeaux drama hyperstripe vinyasa (Canada only), lab city pullover, bordeaux the sweater life, more run for gold LS and 1/2 zip colors, bordeaux swiftly SS (Canada only), illumina crops in multiple colors (US only), cotton rolldown WUC (Canada only), cotton rolldown WUP, angel blue swiftly SS, refresh racer colors (of course), jet crops, sashiko quilt WUs, sashico cross pace setter (Canada only), inkwell denim rolldown WUP.

Edited to add:

    I got a black herringbone vinyasa too!! I hung out looking at stuff for a bit too long and missed the white one. And I thought the same thing!! Camo?? Again?? I guess that’s what we get for complaining like little kids about not getting enough camo a few months ago. I also got the deep coal CRB, bordeaux illumina crops and insires (one is probably going back). I’m still wondering where the heck the FTB WIld bras are. Expensive night for me, but I haven’t bought anything in quite a while.

      It’s kind of what we get, but really, the joke’s on them because they totally overdid the camo thing–questionable business strategy there.

      If you think about your purchases averaged out over a few weeks, it’s not so bad. :P

      Nice! :) I can’t decide if I like the darker heathered grey tone compared with the lighter grey that I have now…

    Ugh, I was waiting for the light grey herringbone vinyasa… then… website issues! I got through checkout 5-6 minutes after upload, when I got the “sorry sold out” message :( I have one vinyasa and it’s black/dark grey pique so I don’t need the darker herringbone one (same colors just pique vs herringbone). I’m going to try the illumina crops in bordeaux though. Had a hard time deciding between bordeaux and inkwell.

    Did you ever get your inky floral speeds? I’m curious about your pattern placement. I’m having a kind of hard time accepting my pattern placement lol. Nothing’s especially wrong with it though.

      Aww that sucks! I also have the pique vinyasa you’re talking about so I imagine one of them will have to go, they are *sooo* similar like you said. I just couldn’t help myself. Textures are the one area where I have a hard time exercising self-control, lol.

      I did get my inkys. They have pretty good distribution of color (esp on the front), but they do have some of the yellow business going on near the crotch. Honestly, I’m not really sure I care that much about the yellowish splotches even though a lot of people have made a big deal of it. You can’t see it from more than like 3 feet away and even then, I have a hard time believing anyone would honestly think it was pee (although it really begs the question of WHY lulu thought that was a good idea). That said, I haven’t de-tagged them yet. :P

        Thank you!! They’re cute! I’m sure they’ll look great on you too. I’ll try to post mine.

        I totally wouldn’t worry about the yellowish tannish ghostish?? splotches looking like pee omg haha. I agree though that lulu should’ve seen that response coming. I was hoping for more white areas in mine I guess…? I bought in store but every time I go to a store there is literally one size 6 in the whole store so no actual choice for pattern placement. I checked again today and I thought I liked their pair more but there were two of the blue flower splotches placed so that they *kind of* looked like balls and I couldn’t unsee it!

          I think yours has more white in it than mine, so I’m not sure you’d end up finding a pair with much more. Honestly though I haven’t seen a pair of these that I thought looked *bad* (unlike many other patterns out there…), so maybe I’m not the one to ask. :)

    I agree camo just won’t die but I have a feeling we’re going to see more of it in the future… That forme jacket is almost sold out.

      I have to say I’m surprised it sold out so quickly… I guess not everyone is as over it as I am, lol.

    I wasn’t planning on getting a vinyasa ( I have that black piqué one too) but was surprised how quickly they sold out! Still standing strong against the new fall colors but I did break down & get the black NLT in WMTM that I’ve been trying to resist.

      I have the black pique also–probably gonna have to choose between black herringbone and black pique because they are so similar. But I already know I’m not gonna want to make that call, lol.
