Cashew is one of my favourites, happy to see it come back. All these items are a pass for me though.
The dress looks nice, particularly in the black. If I happen to still find it in store I will try it. No big deal though if I missed it. Plus I decline to pay $200. I can get awesome dresses at Banana Republic for less than that.
I wanted to give you and the other addicts some information I received about the Monday/Tuesday upload (depending on which part of the country one is located). Verbatim from GEC this morning, “All the orders placed on March 17th will be fufilled in the order they were received. If the items are still available, that means there are items to put in your order at this point. New orders will not be placed right now, they will simply be added to the end of the queue. I'm telling you that on March 17th, our system went down. We're going to fill orders in the order they were placed.” Meaning just because you placed an order on March 17th and you received an order confirmation, does not mean the order was placed successfully. The entire system went down, and orders were constantly being placed when in fact, there may have not been any product. Very frustrating indeed, and the fact Lululemon does not offer any resolution to help customers find sought out product is extremely frustrating. You would think they could special order the products from a store, but no, not even a gift in the amount the cancel ordered was placed. Well, that is the end of my rant. Love your blog.
OT - i got my wee space cadet blue CRB a few days ago and pulled it out to wear today - maybe this has already been discussed but i LOVE that the logo is on both sides again... i sometimes like to reverse my CRBs and show the color stitching - also the colors are beautiful - i'm actually wearing my lulu dance pants from a few years ago - the blues and grays in the top match the grey pants and the blue ruffles perfectly!i have tons of dresses like the here to there, so i'm on the fence about trying it - one of my local stores in ny has it (or had it at least in yesterday's PN) - i'm leaning towards passing though. thanks for all the Awesome pics!!
I tried the Here to There pant in store yesterday. The fit is TTS, however I didn't like the feel of the fabric as it felt too synthetic, like it wouldn’t breathe well. Also the back pockets bunched up and were not flattering to my backside. The price is too high for me to justify the purchase with all of those aforementioned issues. The matching tank was pretty “meh” as well. It’s a very common looking top that will probably wrinkle easily so that remained in store.
I wanted to try the dress but it looks like an Ebay seller in Pasadena bought up all of the sizes (4-8) from the stores in the LA area (Studio City, Santa Monica, and Robertson received this line) and has them relisted for well over $300 plus shipping. I really wish lulu would crack down on these types who buy up in-store merchandise and flip them for profit. BrownUniversity-USA, TopCarBroker, Sellergirl, this statement is specifically in reference to you. This does nothing but lead to higher price increases as it shows lulu we’re willing to pay upwards of double, even triple retail value.
OT but I have to bring up the lack of WMTM upload! I'm pretty sure they are postponing it because of the ordering issues from this week's upload, right? LLA - do you think they are skipping the WMTM upload all together or will we randomly see it sometime in the next few days?!
I have had it laying around for ages and was thinking about posting it on FB to sell, but have no idea what it's called!! Also - LOVE this blog! Gets me my daily fix (and then some!)
5:54 most lulu bags look like diaper bags, at least to me. I am really liking the dress, very elegant. those tees look cheap and will probably lose shape after a few washes.
Tried the Peplum Tank in our store. I must say I liked them better on the hangers. My TTS is tight around my chest, although I dont have big bubby, and squeezed my poor bubby to a down looking, especially looking from the side, not an attractive shape. Then my size up is more comfortable around the chest, but the extra fabric around my tummy is creating a pregnant look. Too bad, the ruffle on the back is cute, but I have to save my $ this time.
@ annon 9:49 am - the website didn't even crash on Monday night so I didn't get the sense it was overwhelmed. I have an IT friend who says lulu has not "tuned" their load balancers, etc. correctly to handle the volume the site sees on upload nights, but apparently they do have the capability to handle pretty large load.
I believe that new "yellow/cashew" colour is called heathered elfin yellow (You can see a preview on the mens 5 year basic tee)

Anon 9:40 yes, the blk camo WUP have already hit stores. I picked up a pair on Tuesday at a store in Orange County (CA) but apparently they've had them for several days because it was the last pair in the store.
I definitely want to give the Here to There pants a try, though I think they may be to similar to the Urban pants. I don't care for the Every Yogi Tee at $58. I wish they would bring back the Om T in other colors. I definitely prefer all the prints (camo, beachscape, petite fleur) in the WU crops over the WU pants.
Still can't believe they haven't shipped anything from Monday night upload. One glitch after the other. LLL has got to get these issues fixed. With their stock below 50 for the last couple of months they can't afford these weekly mistakes or our beloved LLL may get acquired.
Anon @6:44 am - "the fact Lululemon does not offer any resolution to help customers find sought out product is extremely frustrating." Exactly! I get the scarcity model, but they alienate their best and most loyal customers by not helping them find what they are looking for! No store searches, no checking the "system" for your size in another store, and 99% of the time the stores in my area don't answer the phone (hello, Fashion Island!). Stores usually won't call other stores for you - at least not without you being a pest by asking them, they'll usually try to give you the phone number to the store... that doesn't answer its phone. If you leave a message they will get back to you "within 24 hours" which is more than plenty of time for what you are looking for to sell out. Plus they won't hold it for you anyway. Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that out. We want to give you money, but you won't help us find your products!!
I agree with anon @ 2:12, Lulu's customer service is lacking. They could certainly learn from Nordstrom, who in my experience goes above and beyond to help you.
Having said that, the girls in my local store have held things for me a few times, but nothing crazy hot like the camo WUCs or anything. Still, I appreciated it.
This whole shipping delay thing is odd. I have yet to get an email from lulu apologizing for the delay, so those of you that got that are ahead of the game. Hope that doesn't mean my order will be canceled. After all this nonsense, they owe us a decent WMTM upload at the least. Those have been a joke lately.

The white pants in the first photo are darling! Frankly you can't get more Resort than that. Hopefully they are nicely lined. That's a must for me :)
THanks for posting the pics! I know we can count on you to highlight the good stuff.
Oooh! Chicago photos!

LLA - Do you know what that beige bag is in the third photo?! SO CUTE! I want.
The here to there pant looks so cute! i kind of like the technical fabric for work clothes trend.
The bag looks like a diaper bag to me

I may have to have that hat!
OT - No WMTM upload yet??
Hey Lulu junkies - hoping someone can help me! Does anyone know what the name of this sweater is?

From Biltmore (Phoenix) product notice, the blue stripes is called deauville stripe pipe dream blue white, and stroll stripe heathered cashew white.
And if anyone has a chance to measure length on new twist scarf, much appreciate it!!!

The bag is the yoga on the fly duffel, retails for $148
lulu is still experiencing issues in their warehouse. I was told to call in 24 hours to confirm that my order is actually getting packed and shipped.

@LLA my store is calling the blue and white every yogi deauville stripe pipe dream blue white

Anyone looking for the here to there dress they have lots of them in the brooklyn (smith street) store. Really super cute!
@ Laura - thanks!
No WMTM upload today?
Anyone seen the Camo WUP in stores yet?
How can a company as big as lulu not have the proper computer system to handle large volumes of orders??? Makes no sense at all.
@ annon 9:49 am - the website didn't even crash on Monday night so I didn't get the sense it was overwhelmed. I have an IT friend who says lulu has not "tuned" their load balancers, etc. correctly to handle the volume the site sees on upload nights, but apparently they do have the capability to handle pretty large load.

@ 9:40 Yep, Camo WUPs were in my store on Tuesday (I'm in Mass.)
@Eric - Hmm, I dunno. That men's shirt definitely looks yellow to me and these Every Yogis appear more tan than yellow.
Anon 9:40 yes, the blk camo WUP have already hit stores. I picked up a pair on Tuesday at a store in Orange County (CA) but apparently they've had them for several days because it was the last pair in the store.

My friend in Mass who has the Camo WUP in their stores, would you angel me a sz 4 Pretty Please?

I love the Antidote/hyperstripe FTB wild! Hope it's still in store in my size when I check it out today! The dress looks fab, but not at $198.

Those Every Yogi Tees look like ones I could go get down at The Gap for $12...not interested, esp. for that price point
