You guys didn’t I say how I wanted a coco pique vinyasa??? I think I did. I definitely thought it. WELL IT EXISTS NOW. And I definitely said how excited I was about the prospect of coco pique being used heavily this season, which apparently it is. <flail>
Oh also: the canucks got the shaft again, this is US only. As of this writing, 35 min after upload, it’s still in stock, probably because the swatch is black so you can’t tell it’s coco pique unless you click through, so it’s easy to miss.
Several winter accessories went up, including the run with me toque (rulu). Canada got the ear warmer version also.
Also, the merino twisted bliss hat in 4 colors, including flaming tomato.
New hyperstripe mauvelous rulu vinyasa scarf. The reverse side is heathered black.
Canada got this fleece vinyasa, which looks much bulkier than a regular rulu vinyasa. It’s also $58 versus the usual $48. The one plus side of this is that if you use it as a mini-blanket (which I do with my vinyasas in a pinch), the fleece would probably be super-nice.
The heathered fuel green scuba I posted about earlier today wasn’t uploaded, BUT this “heathered green teal” (I guess that’s different from real teal?) was. UGH lulu needs to STOP with the green/teal scubas because it’s killing my willpower, I love them all. This color US only.
As we were promised in Britt’s picks last week, the anytime dress was uploaded to Canada and the radiant long sleeve was uploaded to the US. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the anytime dress rings in at only $88. With the recent price hikes, I was expecting it to be much more. Both are made of vitasea.
Lookie at these white herringbone turn around tights in Canada only. These are made of rulu. Rulu + herringbone = most likely a hot seller.
THIS THOUGH. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS.
Actually, ok, I don’t really know what to say about it except that it exists, it’s in Canada only, and it’s called lusche telemark almost pear inkwell (these are luxtreme WUP).
And that it looks like an organized smear of vomit, green slime, and poo.
It’s ok, though, lulu, I forgive you because coco pique.
Slightly more serious commentary: I’m glad to see that lulu has been branching out more with prints lately. For a while it was just florals, stripes, and dots, which got pretty bland. They’ve been switching it up more lately, especially with wunder unders, and so even if some of them are just ghastly, at least they’re experimenting, so kudos to that.
But then there are also these fuel green reversible WUC (Canada only again). They weren’t uploaded in a 2 or 12, which regular readers will know REALLY vexes me, but they’re pretty. I’ve really been loving fuel green. US got the cotton rolldown fuel green WUC.
Heathered slate run times shorts with mauvelous.
Black camo city skirt, which mostly I am posting to point out that random camo items are *still* popping up, after literally like 6 months of camo.
Other upload notes:
– Some of the laser cut stuff was uploaded, as I expected. Neither side got the 105F singlet, and US did not get the WUP.
– The US got the jumbo inkwell inky floral speed tights and heathered bark chocolate rolldown WUP that Canada got last week, and Canada got the rust berry pique WUP that US got last week. (By the way: reports are that they’re a bit on the thin side.)
– Yes, the sweat-er once a day jacket is $248.
– The sweater the better was uploaded also but is a more reasonable $98. It’s probably less than the sweater life because it’s cotton.
– By the way, can we not with the sweater puns?
– The bhakti yoga shorts returned to the Canada side. These first came out this past January, but this is definitely new stock because inky floral is one of the colors.
– Canada got the lumberjack rust berry yama check speeds, but neither side got the new wheezy check (SADFACE).
– Both sides got a random re-upload of the high times tech mesh crops.
you are soooo funny!! love coco pique! nothing for me this week – thank God, spent way too much last upload!!
Heh, it’s always nice not to get hit twice in a row. I’m glad only the vinyasa uploaded and not the vinyasa and speeds, I would’ve had some serious angst about ordering both at once. #poorclub
Got the Coco Pique Vinyasa! Thanks to your blog!! I’ll have great mileage with it here in Upstate NY!
Brilliant! I almost missed it until a friend messaged me to be sure I knew. I’m glad it wasn’t a 5-minute sellout situation or I would’ve cried myself to sleep.
Where are the black swan/grape rebel runner cropssss!!! And don’t get me started on the FTBWild.
I heard the FTBW would be back in October. October is tomorrow, so that’s a good start. I’m also hoping we’re going to start seeing a lot more black swan-grape and berry dumbdumb–I mean yum yum–now that October is rolling in.
berry yum yum reminds me of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Actually this was the most expensive upload I’ve had in a while! I’m trying out the coco pique vinyasa, jumbo inky floral blue/black speed tights, and the bumble berry inspires. I might not keep everything but I had to give them a try. Also… the marshmallow stripe is growing on me. Figures.
YES! MARSHMALLOW STRIPE!! My life is complete.
Lulu seems to be all about their puns.
At least they laid off with the sex jokes this week.
I’m back on the no-buy wagon, but I’m loving the purple fog vinyasa (really don’t need it), radiant long sleeve (good price but don’t need it), inky floral blue speed tights ( so pretty but just bought 2 other pair), and purple fog run toque (won’t need for a while.) BTW, my order from last week still hasn’t come. Argh!
Really, not even with the Ohio distribution? That’s super-frustrating. Nice job with the willpower this week though. ;)
My orders now take over a week with the Ohio Dist center. Used to get them in 2 days. I live on the West Coast so all my stuff used to come from Washington. Now it comes from Ohio. So the new distribution center made it worse, not better. Now I hesitate to order because I know it will take me 8 days before it gets here.
That sucks. I thought the WA distribution center was still operating–I think my last order came from there (current order hasn’t updated). I don’t THINK the WA one closed but don’t quote me. Maybe it’s glitchy which orders get sent to which warehouse, or one warehouse has some things and the other doesn’t. Beats me.
My last order (last week) came from WA. it’s still in operation.
The Washington one is still there. One out of my last several orders came from there. I ordered it 4 days after my speeds and it came 4 days before my speeds showed up. Hate it.
“Can we not with the sweater puns?” <—THIS.
Trying to figure out what they’re going to do next. Sweater weather? Whatever the sweater?
Thanks for the tip on the coco pique vinyasa, I got it! It’s getting happy crazy, the vinyasa situation at home.
Tried on the berry yum yum plaid ss. They were super pretty! I love the burgundy and toothpaste contrast and the shorts were well made. But strange enough, they didn’t do anything for my butt and looked a bit PJ-ish. The very frank educator said I looked better in the blue tropics burlap ss that I was wearing.
I did succumb to the sashico ss. I don’t know why I bother with willpower and all, just a waste of time and lots of anxious agony. They were a size down item for me, and the color reminded me a lot of denim, so yay! this is again another great neutral item.
Trying to look away from the jumbo inky floral speed tights, but it’s really difficult. Lust at first sight!
I finally got the sashico speeds too. They are a little big, so now I’m debating ordering yet another pair in my size down. (Ugh)
Do y’allthink speeds stretch out over time?
I don’t think speeds stretch out over time, no.
Hi! My SS and other LLM shorts (groovy run & run times) have not stretched out over time. HTHs. My TTS is 4. The educators insisted that I remain a 4 in 2-way stretch ss, and size down to a 2 in 4-way stretch ss.
Thanks! I’m in between sizes.
The eds always tell me to get a two. But I usually get a four because my thighs are big. But then the liner is baggy.
In between sizing sucks. Yeah, a size 3 option would be perfect for me too.
Have you tried the run times shorts? I find them a better fit for more muscular thighs.
I haven’t tried the run times. Hopefully I will make it to the store this weekend. There are so many things I want to check out!
Thanks!
NO DON’T SAY THAT. The wheezy check must be perfect!!! D:
Maybe the jumbo inkys will be sheer, and then it won’t matter. Is it awful that sometimes I hope that things will be sheer, just so I’ll feel better about not having them?
They’re not sheer, they’re perfect! I’m from Canada and I ordered mine at last week’s upload. Received them yesterday and I’m in love. Great fit, gorgeous color and no tugging at them during my run. Just fabulous.
…..Drat! :P
Nope, I do that a lot too! lol I look at the new vomit tights, and think, I better get the inky floral speed tights, they are really really gorgeous…
“I don’t know why I bother with willpower and all, just a waste of time and lots of anxious agony.” This is so me. Thank you for saying it.
I see you’re getting the speed tights too! I’m happy for you.
I have a new strategy to alleviate LLM shopping guilt though: For every one LLM item purchased, I have to do 10 sessions of 2-hour road biking session. This is so win-win.
That’s great! I’ll have to come up with a similar strategy ;) So you got the speed tights after all?
I’m wishing I caved earlier for the sashico ss. Sold out now in my size. Grr.
Yes I did! Happily waiting for the speed tights now.
Too bad about the ss :( Hope you have a chance to visit an LLM store real soon and get a pair!
Where in the hell are the coordinating-colored CRBs? I’m like going through withdrawal without being able to coordinate these colors.
You’re right, there really hasn’t been a lot of CRBs lately. There have been quite a few colors lately with no CRBs. :
I feel you. The weird thing is there are even fewer CRBs in my store. Seriously, only a few colors, a tiny portion of the tank wall.
I wonder if they really aren’t going to make them anymore! I sure hope not!
I’m still waiting for the rugged blue crb. :(
They confirmed on heylululemon that they weren’t being discontinued. Maybe they’ve just scaled back to push some of the other types of tanks?
I have coco pique WUPs from last year and the coco pique Race your Pace LS from this year. Would it be overkill to get the coco pique vinyasa? lol. #wearallofthecocopique
No of course that’s not overkill, don’t be silly. ;)
