Shimmy Shimmer Jet Crop and Scoop Back LS.
Head-to-toe sparkle - Core Set Bra, Shine Tight Roll Down, and Party Bomb jacket.
Core Set Bra, Shine Tight Roll Down, and Party Bomb Jacket in the Shimmy Shimmer print. The jacket reverses to solid black. I really wish there was an Energy Bra in the Shimmy Shimmer black white print.

I was just at a store looking for some deals (Canada) - there is nothing really shimmery about those shimmy shimmer prints in person. Definitely was a let down. The scoop top was so small on the hanger I didn't even give it a second glance - looked like children's clothing.
Not bad deals - I was at Vaughan Mills - $19 for men's pacebreakers and tanks, got some 105f's for $24, speeds for $19 which are $39 on the site.
@ anon 9:40 am - I totally agree. I saw the shimmer prints this morning and they were very dull in person. Moreover, the Shine Tight material was stiff and harsh. The Flounce Shirt looked like a maternity top on me. The whole Black Friday release is a fail, IMO. However, the new Britt's picks shows we'll be getting some goodies on Sunday night.
Just went to the store, got Rest Less PO in gray & Flouncey tee,. Will marinate on both, waiting for cyber Monday upload
Re the shimmer prints...I too was surprised at the shimmer prints in person today. I guess I was expecting really "shiny". But when I think about it, I think the matte finish is what balances the print, so that it is easier to wear.
I realize I'm in the minority...IMHO I thought LLL produced a well merchandised, tight collection of trend and holiday appropriate items. My guess is they didn't buy alot. A bunch will go to WMTM early on. I thought the look book/photo shoot was fun and festive. It's a marketing hook to reel you in to the store to buy other things.
Bracing for the backlash...
@ anon 4:27 pm - you could be right that lulu only purchased a small amount of the shimmer stuff. The tag on the Shimmer Shine Tights said Made in Canada, which I tend to think means smaller production run.
Some marketing hook, lol. I guess that's what some people fall for. That stuff (and the &Go etc.) keeps me away from the store and much less interested in LLL altogether. I am very, very selective about what I buy from them now. They get MUCH LESS money from me now than in prior years (and I know that I not alone when it comes to long time customers who feel the same). Talk about successful marketing!
I agree with Anonymous at 4:27 PM. I find the matte "sparkle" prints to be very interesting and trendy. Original! I'm excited to have ordered both prints in the party bomb jacket. Purchased a flower-printed bomber jacket from lulu last spring (had a mesh vent running through the back) and I've been wearing it lots, even to work. I get compliments all the time ; ) it's different from a typical blazer and fits my style :)
I agree with 4:27 and I posted in an earlier post that I thought the glitter campaign was fun and not over done. I have yet to see any of this in person but am hoping to make it to a store today to see if there are any black friday deals left. I also love the & Go line. They are great for casual wear or for work in an office setting.
