Core Set Bra Shimmy Shimmer Black White.
Shimmy Shimmer Multi Shine Tight Roll Down.
Jet Crops. Is this style really that popular?
Scoop Back Long Sleeve in Garden Party Multi Smooth Silver Multi. I like this piece the best of the BF blingy items.
Flouncy Tee. I like this piece a lot but want to try it on in the store.
I'm not really getting the thinking behind the 3:45 pm PST upload today, hitting at the tail end of our holiday dinner. It made a good excuse for getting out of washing dishes, I guess. I know Best Buy did their Black Friday upload at 5 am since my husband knocked off our kids' Xmas list this morning.
Anywhoo.... the Black Friday stuff is extremely underwhelming imo. I might have gone for a Shimmy Shimmer print Energy bra but since the blingy prints only come in oddball styles my wallet was safe. However...
What did you get?
(PS - If you are contemplating getting the Race Your Pace Half Zip on WMTM, I'd think again. The seams that cut across your forearms are horribly itchy. I tried this PO on in three different colors and it was the same for all of them.)

Only some astro pants on WMTM for $49. Nothing in the upload was remotely appealing to me.
Festival bag in camo and mind/body kit in nightfall/silver.
LLA, did you notice that the camo bag is listed as polyeseter on the US site and Nylon on the Canadian site. I assume they are made of the same material. I wonder if it is similar to my black festival bag that I love and use everyday?
Was the mind & body kit with the pink zipper not uploaded? Also, anyone recommend the Om tee? I'm only 5'3" and afraid it might be really long on me.
what was with these uploads?? There was nothing too special for me. I am actually quite disappointed. Last year, I remember getting a Gratitude Wrap. thought there would be more old school pieces..
I did see that. I am going to assume it's an error but usually the Canadian and US descriptions are the same so I'm not sure what is going on. I guess they could be different but I highly doubt it.
1980 called and definitely want its clothes back. Vegas showgirls also called and are going to fight 1980 for custody.
So underwhelming and undesirable, that is about all that can be said.
Everything She Wants Vest. Tried it on in the store and was so hoping for a sale. LOVE! Happy Day.
Wow...a whole lot of nothing for me. I would have picked up a Mind & Body bag if they black/white floral print had been loaded.
Upload: remember, LLL gave USA the warehouse sale about a month ago. That was your real Black Friday from them. They wanted your $ before you gave it to other retailers; they didn't want to compete for your dollars on the same day(s)
You're definitely right about the Race Your Pace 1/2 zip. It's an underwhelming piece and not even worth the WMTM price :(
I got camo festival bag, black dress to try, ombré tank to try and some socks and camo jacket on WMTM for my husband. Very disappointed in blingy items- no detailed fabric description ( is it 3D or sequences , or what?) , and ugly unflattering pieces.
Got the ombre om tank... other than that it was WMTM: the $49 astro pants and sashiko star WUC (NOT the weird patchwork pants)... overall relatively boring if we consider that there was two uploads today...
Taking a chance on the gold sequined Shine Tights. They're kind of fun, but I'm not a huge Roll Down fan.
I bought WAY too much this week; I'm pretty new to Lulu and really enjoy your blog - thank you! I loved the Inkwell Runday Crops I ordered last week so much that I picked up black and grabbed the Ghost Rebel Runner jacket while I was at it (both Christmas gifts from others at least).
I added two LS Swiftly (Rust Berry and Heathered Fuel), Inkwell Brushed Speed Tights, a Deep Cranberry Run with Me ear warmer (I'm going to try doing more of my running outdoors this winter unless it's bitter cold) and just bought the Almost Pear Swiftly Tank and Power Y (love chartreuse).
I couldn't resist the Camo Festival Bag or Mind and Body bags either.
This has been fun, but I've done enough damage for a bit now I think!
@anon 6:13 pm - mmm, good point. I didn't get too much for myself on that sale. I am hoping to hit the stores tomorrow to see what else I can score.
I bought the black scoop back long sleeve (which sold out in minutes on the Canadian side in my size 10) & core set bra in the shimmy shimmer multi.. I don't usually go for anything sparkly, but the holiday season is coming up, and I think it will look very cute with a see-through sweater over top.
Still thinking about ordering one of the WMTM Scubas & the Long & Short of It Jacket in Inkwell.. not sure.. I'll sleep on it.
Wish the Lab Shadow Jacket was a bit longer - might have bought it then. The party bomb jacket is by far my least favourite piece this year.. yikes.. reminds me of Grandma Yetta's Glitter Jackets (anyone remember watching the Nanny??).. horrible eye sore!
LLA I hope there's better luck with markdowns and items you want in store.
But there's always the Boxing Day (Dec. 26) upload too
I ordered the Black Giant Herringbone Define Jacket in my regular size 4 (my old Defines and my Formes are all size 4). Has anyone tried the new Black Herringbone Define? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, does it fit same as the old Defines and the newest Formes? Also, has anyone tried the Black Coco Pique Forme Jacket? I'd like to order it as well, but have read in the reviews that the coco pique forme sizing is off by a size or two, so that has me hesitating to order it. I find it's getting more difficult to order online with confidence, even when you know you're size in something, because of inconsistency in Lulu's sizing these days. LuluAddict, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how these two jackets are fitting, if you've tried them.
I also ordered a Run With Me Toque in Slate/Tonka Stripe Slate and White from WMTM. I bought two of these hats this fall and love them, and have been thinking of getting another colour, so was happy to see this one on WMTM for $24 tonight!
I think I'm the only Race Your Pace fan :) I've been lucky to not have the itchy issue so I was happy to see the three new colors on WMTM! I love all of the little details on it, especially the little scalloping on the sleeves. I also picked up the fleece Vinyasa because it looks so comfy for dog walks. I had my eye on it before but couldn't bring myself to pay the original price for a fleece scarf. I love the Rest Less pullover but am always nervous about an all white top. I was hoping to see the Hug it Out jacket. I'm really trying to save my wallet and not go into my local store tomorrow...
I missed the upload- does anyone in the US know if the restless LS was uploaded in blue and black? I'm worried it already sold out!
Ahhh I wish I could buy from the WMTM american section there are a couple things there I want SO badly but I cant find them in Canada anymore! So sad!!
Am not a fan of the Race Your Pace 1/2 zip at all. I had bought one at full price and returned it. I won't even buy it from wmtm. Itchy seams and so poorly finished on the inside, the worst is around the zipper. That part causes chaffing for some (there are reviews of how uncomfortable it has been).
It's a shame because it's a great looking shirt and it's a 1/2 zip and rulu, but it's just not worth it, imo.
Stuck to WMTM - how many of those white pacesetters did they make, anyway? They've been lingering in the canadian WMTM for weeks now, available in all sizes. For $19 I had to get one (and I see they are now, finally, almost gone).
None of the special Black Friday items appeal. Oh well, glad to save my money!
I ordered the cardi, even though it looks ridiculously gigantic. I 'need' and inkwell sweater, so hopefully it'll work. I held back on the WMTM, although I would've grabbed a Race Pace if the coco had come up, even though it seems to be so cheaply made. I can't believe they weren't marked down sooner!
