I kind of like the looks of this one and it's made of Boolux. I might have to order, though the uneven front - hopefully she missed a button - bothers me.
Yay! The dark Sapphire Swiftly is finally coming. I am definitely ordering this one.
We saw this uploaded to the foreign sites earlier this week. I'm not a big peplum person so an easy pass for me.
The off center pleating bugs me so this will be a pass.

Finally the sapphire LS swiftly. It's been forever since they have had one I wanted due to ruining with prints or stripes. Nothing else really appeals. When did they start the 2 a week uploads last year? Does anyone remember?
oh joy. more non-technical, over-priced mid-layers.
Looking forward to another US shaft. A little sad, but happy for my wallet.
Yay for the dark blue swifty, I been waiting for that one! So beautiful.
I want that wrap! I love Boolux. I wonder what other colours it comes in. Hopefully something other than black, navy and some bland oatmeal shade.
I can never find the "What We Love" posts from Lululemon. Do you get them in a newsletter?
At any rate, I definitely want the sapphire swiftly. Is it certain that this is for the U.S? (oh please, oh please, oh please)
Thanks!
Why are all the tops getting so short?
No new Define or &go dress again:( nothing else looks even remotely tempting
Is it fair to say that US/Canada are unlikely to get the new colours in the Base Runner pants.
I wonder if we'll see the everywhere dress that was uploaded last week in the UK. Really wanting that one!
&Go City Pullover is made from that nasty scratchy "fake" Rulu and it's way too short... really fed up with all of this ugly junk!
@annonymous 12:01 PM - to find What We Love, you have to go to heylululemon.com There's usually a link to it on the main banner.
Thinking about ordering my first swifty and I need sizing advice. I don't like to feel too constricted when I run, but I am tired of shirts riding up under my vests when I am running. Does this stay put? And should I order my usual size or up?
Thanks!
Anon 12:01, WWL is found at heylululemon.com, not the regular site.
The dark blue swiftly has a lot of black pigment in it....I was so excited when it arrived in the UK but had to return as it's not the lovely dark blue like the picture!
I agree with Anon 10:44 about not liking the recent prints and stripes on the swiftlies. I wear swiftlies all the time but I will not buy the striped or the current print ones. I did get the heathered tender violet s/s and I really like that it's blended with black not white making the colour look so deep and rich looking. The sapphire blue heathered with black instead of white and is gorgeous too and looks really good paired with black bottoms.
If we are going to see more heathered looks this winter I hope they are blended with black or tone on tone instead of with white which IMO doesn't work with dark colours.
In my collection of swiftlies my most coveted ones are a l/s and s/s deep zinfandel tone on tone print. I would love to buy more swiftlies in the deep zinfandel but only if they are tone on tone or heathered with black not white!!!
I'll get the swiftly and may cave on getting a down for a run item.
I have trouble with the long sleeve swiftlies when running. They are great for hiking and short runs, but after a while they start to ride up which drives me crazy.

@Nicole I size up from my usual size 6 to an 8 and they don't ride up on me.
I may be in the minority but I have come to really like the striped LS swiftlies. I got the boom juice last year for Christmas and I LOVE it. It feels so much less fragile than my others, so I'm not afraid to really wear it. I've had no issues with snagging. In fact, I just ordered the heathered menthol for that very reason!
Nicole, I wear my Swiftlies loose and they always ride up when I run. I think part of it depends on the pants, but part of it is just the running motion itself that tends to cause them to ride up. I wear Swiftlies all the time when I skate and never have a problem with them riding up then.
Loved the heather tender violet SS Swiftly, and would have bought it in a heartbeat in the LS version, but they screwed it up with that hideous print. I like the Dragonfly CRB, but I can't be online during the upload and it's unlikely to last more than an hour or so. So, basically, more money saved for Christmas presents.
@Nicole, sizing up in a Swiftly will not necessarily help you. During running they ride up regardless (have worn with luxtreme crops and speed shorts) unless you tuck them in (not as dorky a look as it sounds). I usually buy a 4, sometimes a 6 if they are on sale and that's all that's left. Anything larger than that looks way dumpy and unflattering on me (and I work hard so don't care to look dumpy). Sleeves are tight in the long sleeve versions, doesn't seem to matter what size you get. No one knows why LLL continues to make them insanely tight, i.e. if you want to push a ls sleeves up to your elbows, good luck it is a challenge.
Also be warned people will complain about how they snag easily; it's the nature of the way they are made as seen from the interior. I have been fortunate and have no snags and I wear them for running, hiking, long walks, casually (with a bag often on my shoulder). I wash them inside out in a net bag and hang to dry.
Thanks guys!
I agree that Swiftlys ride up. I have come to the point of only buying LS for casual wear. They just don't work for exercise - I've tried them from running to bar class and ride up every time.
I purchased the Peace of Mind Wrap today....It's BEAUTIFUL and so soft and comfortable!!!! I loved it so much I bought 2!
