Peacock Salute the Sun Tank and new Stop At Nothing Crop. I keep trying on the Salute the Sun Tank because it's cute in the front but I have to fuss with it too much to get the back slit not to gape and the split over my rear to look ok and then the tank hangs too low in the front. Grrr. Crossing fingers that that rumor the 105F coming back this year is true.
Tender Violet/Raspberry Glo Diamond Jacquard Hustle In Your Bustle Jacket, Blooming Pixie Multi Strap It Like It's Hot Tank, and Speed Shorts (I think).
The Ala Moana store doing a fantastic job modeling the new swim items. I have some in-store photos of the swim stuff, too:

I tried the Vent It LS and Tee on. I liked the Vent It LS well enough but found it boxy through the middle. I like UPF tops a lot but wasn't excited about the Caspian color enough to get it. The short sleeve Vent It was ok but I didn't love it.

The Ala Moana store is the only store that can model December swimwear and not freeze! Lol! Meanwhile the rest of the country (or most of it) is having cold weather and rain/snow! Freezing here most days in Southern Cali but I love it! Finally! My post chat pullover, GW and fluff po are getting some good use!
So...what do you do with the big long string when you cinch up those pants. I like the idea, but not the execution. I might have to try in store to see on that one.
LLA - do you know what the January 5th Irvine Spectrum store shopping/RSVP thing is by chance?
@anon the long string can be tucked inside the leg of your pant to hide it. I tried them on today and they easily cinched to change leg length. Bought them in navy!
The lady with the long brown hair modeling the swim has the most phenomenal body! If I looked like her, if have no problem living in Lulu suits!!
@ anon 9:11 pm - I haven't heard about a special shopping event at Irvine. There is still a lot of of stuff on the racks so maybe they are giving an extra %off to get rid of it.
I saw the sign by the cash register this morning. There was an email address to RSVP. This isn't my normal/closest store so I was wondering if other stores were doing it too.
@Anon 6:55 - I guess as a runner the last thing I want is one more chance of chafing anywhere when running long miles. I probably will skip and not even try them on because of this. Too fussy for this runner to worry about too.
To LLA: I wish I could attach a picture. I RSVP'd - if I make it i'll update what it was. Supposed to be raining Monday-Sunday! Get out those rain boots!
LLA: The "invite" is on the Lulu Orange County FB (photos) page in case you want to check it out.
@anon 9:45 pm - I have Sorel boots on order - they're supposed to be here on Monday. Are you guys talking about running in the Sweaty Endeavors? Those wouldn't be my first choice for running.
@ anon 9:48 pm - thanks!
At LLA: Yes, we're talking about the Sweaty Endeavors tight - which Lulu has put on their site that they are for "run".
@ anon 7:53 am - that's weird. On the US site, they're under the yoga section.
Is the netting on sweaty endeavour pants blue or black on the inkwell pair you bought?
LLA - do you anticipate any further product with the tiger stripe design? I like it but don't like the seams or fabric weight on that particular top. thanks and Happy New Year!
This is OT: is there any Angels in Europe or Asia who could get me an item that is not available here in NA? I would much appreciate that. TIA!
I tried on the Sweaty Endeavors Tank last week. I just didn't love the fit. I needed to size up, which would've then made the shoulders too loose for me. But it looks great modeled here.
Has anyone tried the Salute the Sun tank for running? It seems like it would be a nice tank for the hot weather. I have a tank from a few years ago with a similarly made back and I love it during the hot months.
I'm also so in love with the Hustle In Your Bustle Jacket. The fit is great/flattering for those of us shorter gals. I thought I wanted the Tender Violet/Raspberry Glo until I tried on the Space Dye Camo White. That colorway is SO soft! It probably won't ever make it to WMTM.
Yep...under the "yoga" section but in the description it says "Designed for: Run". Maybe they don't even know what they designed them for! Lol!
@ anon 10:20 am -I would think any top or tank that uses Seriously Light Luon might come out in the Tiger Space Dye material. There is a Lighten Up Tank in it on the UK and HK sites. Australia has a Salute the Sun in it. There is a rulu version you can see in the run and done toque and HK got a Runderful LS in it.
@ emily - not sure if you're aware: the tender violet hustle in your bustle is $89 on US wmtm and in Canada it is also $89 on wmtm for tender violet or heathered herringbone. The space dye camo silver spoon (full price) is probably the best looking version. You will have to gauge whether or not it will go to wmtm and you can wait. Somehow I think it's going to go there. Showing on "what's new" as it was just released online, but just days later, some versions to wmtm.
So again lulu is making bathing suits that show too much cheek and are totally not made for anyone who is over a B cup.
