Solid Dewberry Turbo Tank.
The Black Stripes Galore coordinating pieces. Love them together.
The Black SE CRB (get this, the price is $48!) and the modal Relaxed Fit pants. If any pant gives you a mom-butt, I'd vote it's the Relaxed Fits (not in this photo, but in general).
I was right - it is the nest print in the hood/trim.
Camel Cargo pant - rear detail. I think you have to have a pretty awesome tush/slim thighs to pull these off but if you do, they look great.

48$!!!! WTF, for a little mesh strip. I bought the gatherback last year, and there was no price. Shameless greedy lulu!! I guess they are not reading the news of the downgrading of the US debt, people will be tightening their purses and frills like lulu will be the first to go, especially at these increasing price increases!!
Ohhh that scuba is PRETTY!! I hope it shows up online soon...do you know what the price is? I'm guessing either $128 or $148 probably $148 with my luck.....
OT: a little while back someone had mentioned ideeli.com had 90-degrees by reflex items on sale that looked a LOT like LLL. I picked up a pair of Astro-knock off crops and the Groove-knock off shorts for $15 each. They arrived the other day.
From a fabric standpoint, they are about the same weight as Luon but the content is 87% nylon and 13% spandex so there is a noticeable sheen/shine to them. No issues with the bend over test. The astro knock-offs in a Medium (they run XS, S, M, L) are easily an inch wider than my size 8 LLL Astro crops and 4 inches longer. I'm wearing them today and will teach yoga in them tonight so I can post a "wear report" if anyone is interested.
The Groove-knock offs came in all black. I do not own any LLL Groove shorts so I have no true comparison. I do own Boogie On shorts and would say the rise is longer on the Groove-knock offs. Inseam is the same.
Original prices (on hang tags) were $98 for the Astro knock offs and $68 for the Groove knock offs. For $15 each plus shipping, I think I got a pretty good bargain!
my bad...the Astro knock offs are 7-inches longer than the LLL Astros. just finished taking pics and measurements...sending them to LLA
I purchased a pair of crops by 90-degrees by reflex for $24.99 instead of $98.00 They look a lot like the run inspire crop. They have the same zippered pocket on the back and 2 hidden pockets on the front. They have a gusset and nice seaming on the back. They are slightly shiny as mentioned above but defnitely not see through. They match my orange CRB from last year perfectly. (I forget the name of the colour). They might be a tad warmer than my lulu bottoms but I plan on using them for the fall and early morning runs. So far so good. Worth every penny of $24.99
What is mom butt??
@ Anon 7:58:
I have the very same question! I've never heard this expression.
Loooooong bum is mom bum. Haha
Not sure if this is what LLA was referring to, but when I hear 'mom bum' I think of 'mom jeans' lol
This is an SNL skit for mom jeans

There is nothing that makes me want to order or go to a Lulu store what crap!
so wanted the camel cargo pants, tried them on...yuck. I do not have large legs, but the design of these made me look like I had huge thighs! BOO!
The Be Me Tee makes me NOT want to BE like that Tee! LOL
i bought black be me tee today. surprisingly, it looks better in person, especially with legins or pencil type of skirt for in-out
mom butt is a long, flat butt you get with high waisted pants.
Wow...you really would have to have some serious butt confidence to wear those Camel Cargo Pants!
i ordered the camel cargoes in the wren denim fully expecting them to be hideous and that i would have to return them. when i pulled them out of the bag, they looked so small (i ordered my normal size despite knowing the denim loun usually fits about a 1/2 size smaller), i was convinced they'd never fit—and i'm not gonna lie: it took some tugging to get on. but when i looked in the mirror i was shocked—shocked!—to see that they looked *fantastic* on. the higher rise eliminated muffin top and the luon pulled everything in. they made my butt and thighs really looked good! i'm 5'2 and the hem came to my ankle—perfect length. now i'm seriously tempted to get them in the black denim!
Exactly, the camel cargos are awesome!!! They are NOT a slimming pant, so if you put them on with that in mind, you may be surprised. For fit, I'm 5'2 112. Size 4 fits perfect!
I have 2 pairs of the Relaxed Fit pants (luon and Modal) and they don't give you a "mom butt" at all.. They are super comfortable!
@ julia19 - when I called the Relaxed Fit pants the "mom jeans" of the lululemon line I mean they don't do much for you. Lulu gained it's reputation by making "magical" pants that make your rear look better - smaller, perkier, etc. but I find the Relaxed Fit pants do nothing for me. I'm just me in them and I'd much rather buy Still pants than the RF.
