More photos of the new pullover and run tights in Mint Moment. I would say the pullover looks like it might be tech fleece or brushed luxtreme. I'm not sure about the tights.
Another photo of the new run tight.
Inkwell slub denim Daily Yoga Jacket and Straight to the Studio Pant.
If I was a Speed Short collector I would definitely add the Spring Has Sprung Multi print ones to my collection. I just love them.
Pink Shell Striped Devotion SS Tee. I'm not a big Devotion SS fan since I hate the way it fits me but this one is cute.
I know the Silver slub denim are the new Straight to the Studio Pant but I'm not sure about the Inkwell ones. I think they are based on the seaming but it's for me to see on my computer.

What's that long sleep shirt with the speeds?
I think those run tights are the Run: get up and glow tights. They are on the Australia side now. Mint moment on the tights tho looks pretty sheer.. NOT GOOD.
Wow those pants are so spectacularly fug I hardly know what else to say. Pass pass and more pass. These new clothes are so ghastly that I cringe even thinking of seeing people in them. Sheer, fug color blocking, yahoo stripes. I'm better off at Walmart, honest to god.
Went to one of my local LLL in LA today to purchase the classic stripe polar haze Pace Setter Skirt.
I noticed that the fabric material in all of this season's pace setters have extremely different fabric than the other ones. For some reason, the fabric is rough, not at all silky like the regular black or white ones.
I'm not sure if this is because of the stripes or a pattern thing, but it feels cheap (for the lack of a better word).
I bought it anyway because they were out of stock online, but I'm thinking they will most likely go back.
Has anyone else noticed this? Thoughts?
I think that combo between the speed shorts and mint moment swiftly is really really nice and cheery. I am actually bummed I did not get the speed shorts when they were uploaded. Did anyone get those? I would love to hear if the fit or fabric is different.
The pictures don't do justice to those pants, they look interesting.

Is it just me or is the winter stuff coming out late this year?
Hmmm, both the Run pullover and the Tights (picture where she's standing sideways) look pretty see-thru. She has a bright pink shirt under the Run pullover and you can definitely see it...and the Tights look totally different at the pocket where the fabric is doubled : (
Those run tights are on the Aus site (yes, I was stalking the Aus site tonight) and the black ones look great. Not so much with the color blocked ones.
Blech on the pullover.
With every photo I see of the mint moment swiftly LS, I'm getting closer and closer to spending my gift card. Must. Have. Restraint.
I wish the spring has sprung shorts came in the Turbo shorts.
I believe those new run pants are called get up and glow tights. I saw them on the AUS site, says they're power luxtreme and also comes in black and flare stripes.
Good photos of the to the Studio pants, those look interesting. That jacket is a JOKE!!
I must confess, I think the mint moment is much prettier in person than photos, it's a true pale mint green. I think I will order a second one to have as a spare in case something happens to this one lol. (and I never get doubles)! Also the Polar haze SL is beautiful.
Re: the cardio kick bra. I would give it a 8/10. I'm a 34B, 5'6 at 118lbs. I wear 4 in Lulu except in bras where I buy a 6 (the waistband is always so tight)! Anyway on my small chest I do get a bit of boob flattening going on (not nearly as much with less supportive bras like the free to be). Performance wise it's excellent though, comfortable and supportive enough for me. It's no energy bra (10/10) but for people my size it's worth trying, I would consider buying another if non-striped colors came out
Everyone complains how fugly everything from Lulu is, yet you all keep buying! :( WOW...no wonder Lululemon thinks its customers are stupid and is always trying to pull the wool over our eyes! They know they can get away with whatever they want!
Did anyone else notice online -- the speed shorts spring has sprung definitely has surge in the print -- for all those wondering if surge is making a comeback
The hideousness is never ending. Pass on all of it. Mint moment looks dumb with the SHS patterned speed shorts.
@ 9:44, no it's not just you. Winter stuff is late. The only thing that was on time was the Run Bundle Up Jacket and a few things like that. Even that Run Toasty Tech Tight was lste. Of course there were never any Cuddle Up Jackets and those are usually out for Christmas. I don't expect to see a CU but who knows, now that we're seeing more winter stuff so late.
OT and advice: are there any Canadians who have ordered from Athleta? I went to order a pair of crops and the exchange and shipping fees made it pretty ridiculous. Crops are $50 but with all the fees come out to $90 and that's regular shipping with USPS/Canada Post.
Is there anytime it would be worth my while? Also, the crops showed as on sale but were charging me the full price, so it was even less worth my time and money.
Thanks if you have any expertise or advice, I haven't had a chance to call Athleta yet on why it would not give the sale price. At the sale price I probably would have seen my way to ordering them.
Thanks!
8:44 I also notice with the pace setter that the skirts with patterns are 2 way swift and the solid is for which is more silky. I have one skirt with the stiffer pattern, I think if you have large or muscular thighs the 2 way might cause problems when running.

The reason you can see the pink under the mint is because it's mesh! Do none of you sweat when you run? I love circle mesh!

Are these new Will Pants perhaps?
Stop.color.blocking. Just stop it!
That's all :)
mint moment is really nice in person. it is subtle I love my WUC they are reversible so if I get tired of the green I can go black.

I think I need to give Lulu a few months to get their sh*t together. Everything, and I mean everything they are releasing lately is so unappealing to me! Stripes? Color blocking? Talk about trends that will wear out their welcome in a few months (assuming they've ever had one...I'm not into either of those looks). If I wanted to keep up with fashion trends I wouldn't spend $120+ on a hoodie...I can't keep up with their pricing if this is the direction they're going. I'm willing to spend money on something that has a little class and will continue to stay on-trend in a subtle way for years to come. I went to the store at the Mall of America recently and was so depressed by the offerings that I left empty handed. They did have a few of the old style Scubas there in black. Never really cared for the fit of the scuba, but for those of you who like them in the Twin Cities area, head on over. My gift cards are wasting away. Seriously considering getting rid of them through paypal and getting 92% of their value back. Horrible. A year ago I would have had them spent the day I received them.
Oh, and the newest satin pirouette headbands? They suck. They somehow are wrinkly and the material is not even close to as stretchy as my previous ones in pink mist and ultraviolet. I also don't like the light silver hardware, but that's just a personal preference of mine. They looked classier with the darker hardware. I ordered them online in beaming blue and silver slate and wish I could return them. :(
So sad. :(
i like the shoes these girls are wearing a lot more than the clothes they're modelling! ... exception: Spring has Sprung speeds, can't wait for FedEx to show up with those (assuming i get a good pattern distribution)!
The photo with the lavender and black top is the Technicool LS and the photo with the Mint Moment LS is a LS Swiftly.
4:31 AM, ah no, I think all of the latest stuff (never mind most of Q4 2012) is ugly. I have not bought ANY of it and will not buy anything that is hideous or 'trendy'. LLL can colour block away and keep up the ugly stripes, lace and floral: I will not purchase, not even when it goes to wmtm.
However, I do notice people saying "such and such" pattern or design etc. has grown on me. Of which I think "that's crazy. (such and such) it's still ugly and it's never going to grow on me, or be on my body"
For those of you into the Spring Has Sprung print, if you didn't get the email from your store(s), I received the product notice email (Toronto, Queen St) for SHS in the Groovy Run Short and the Run Pace Setter Skirt. I think someone wondered if they print would come in shorts other than the Speeds.
yes i agree- i'll be waiting for a day they resurect some old faithfulls or design some items like their iconic older designs that never lasted a day- they sold out so fast! But they know this so they are doing this on purpose! Why? Who knows? But mark my words its on purpose!
@ Anon 8:44, Re: Pace Setter Skirts
The scratchy, stiffer fabrics are the 2-way stretch Swift material. The 4-way stretch are alot softer and stretchier. I think you are not alone in preferring the softer ones.
I have been buying these skirts for years and whenever there is a pattern, they do tend to use the stiffer fabric; however, there are a few rare times when they seem to be able to put prints on the 4-way stretch. Like the Blurred Blossom print that came out Spring 2012, or the Beaming Blue Laceoflage that is currently used in the Chase Me skirt. I do wonder which fabric is being used in the Spring Has Sprung Pace Setter?
It's a bit weird, but I find that because I am between sizes, I need the size 6 in the 2-way stretch, but I can take a size 4 if it is the 4-way stretch. Also helps alot if they have the longer length versions.
It's been pretty dismal though, on the running skirts front with Lulu lately. They just keep putting out Pace Setters in new colors and prints. I wish they'd come out with new styles, or re-release older styles that worked such as Back On Track, or Run Your Heart Out.
@anon 4:31...I haven't bought a thing in months, nor do I plan to if this keeps up. I might only be one person, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
I sweat, but not exactly where lululemon thinks I do! Sometime they have circle mesh under only half my armpit, but then it extends way too far over each shoulder blade on the back. Running outside in winter, that makes me cold! It looks like only a thin strip near the zipper here isn't circle mesh!
Question regarding Pacesetter skirt--I am usually a 4 in Lulu bottoms although I am a 6 in the Yin to You Crops (which has attached skirt). Would I be better off getting a 4 or 6 in the Pacesetter? TIA!ll;///
OT.Can someone tell me how Inkwell WU compare to previous Navy/Indigo/dark blue colours from Lululemon?
I love dark blue bottoms but I collected too many from the recent Indigo run, and being an online only shoper, don't want to spend $92 in the WU Inkwell silver if the blues are too similar. Thank you
The Spring Has Sprung Multi speed shorts are actually really cute! They don't work for me, but they look great on others.
Sort of OT but last night I was briefing through my Express catalogue and realized that the flower print that they are using is almost identical to the "Spring Has Sprung" print that Lululemon came out with. Similar right down to the types of flowers in the print. The other similarities were tons of "mint" coloured items and colour blocking as well. It would seem that the Lulu designers are just taking inspiration right from the runways. The super trendy thing isn't working so well for Lulu in my humble opinion...
I can't wait for my spring has sprung speed shorts to get here, they look so cute!
I have to agree with the anon who said, "Everyone complains how fugly everything from Lulu is, yet you all keep buying!"
No one here seems to like anything but when I went to my local LLL store yesterday, it was so busy and lots of sizes in new product were sold out. So someone sure seems to like it still. :)
Also, I have to say that Mint Moment is very pretty in person. I got the LS Swiftly and Inspire tights. So cute together. Only prob, the shirt rides up on the pants.
Didn't you notice that the mint moment totally shows through the black even if you lightly run you hand under it? It looks terrible in my opinion. It looks as though you've bought WUC waaaay to small and are stretching them to the max and I just rand my hand underneath, they definitely did not look reversible to me so I didn't even try them on. My dense purple/black are truely reversible but I just didn't think the mint moment even compared. Maybe I saw a faulty pair???
It was confirmed on the Lululemon Facebook page that white/polar cream jacket we saw a few weeks ago is a NEW style (not the Uba Lux with the insert taken out like some others mentioned)! Get excited!!
"Lululemon Athletica Update! It is a different style and we will likely see it in the next few weeks or so. So stay on the look out and if you haven't already, sign up for product notifications so you are in the loop -the sign up option is right on our homepage under the main image.

I knew it about the hoodie! Too bad it's too late! Haha bet it will be $148!
I think so much is fugly! I haven't bought a thing!
I also emailed about the scarf in the inkwell daily scarf! She said it was herringbone! That it had been previously released! Sort of stupid that they would take a picture of something you can't buy anymore!
Got the floral Free To Be bra in store today. Tried on the Speed Shorts in the print and it was cute but a bit too much print for a boring soul like me, so the Free To Be was perfect!
Big THANK YOU to the person who mentioned Splits 59. I got my first order from them today and I'm stoked!! I loved every item I got, all very trendy and heavenly soft but with nice thick fabric reminiscent of vinage lulu.
Really wished i had heeded those warnings about the dsp going up in price...I would like a pair now
I said that 11:50am and it's so TRUE!!....people bitch and moan and everyone keeps on with the buying! LOL... I don't understand that one!! I don't like, I certainly DON'T BUY!
OT -- has anyone sent in a return using the new labels and been credited yet -- i sent my return in on Dec 29 and still have not been credited -- I contacted GEC but you know how that goes -- what was our tracking number and 7 days to process blah blah blah -- I am really annoyed since it is over $250 return !
I'm a 4 or 6 in lulu depending on the item and the pacesetter skirt in 6 was too big on me. Measurements 34-27-36
4:41 am Anon - I would go with the 4 for sure and you may even be a 2 in the pacesetter skirt. I am a 6 in wunder unders and almost every other bottoms but the pacesetter runs big and I went to a 4. Hope this helps!
I am starting to believe that all this fugly is part of a sink-the-ship plan, too. How else could this parade of horror be explained?
I sent in a return on Dec 19th and was credited on Dec 17th, I thought it was pretty fast but I live near the processing place in Washington.
Thanks so much! Definitely helps, as does the discussion of 2 and 4 way stretch. The gals on this board know more than the salespeople at the stores (which makes "educator" kind of a funny concept)
Momof5- same here. I checked my tracking number and yesterday it still hadn't even arrived yet and I also sent mine out on the 29th! I think they picked the cheapest slowest return method. I have never ever had any company take this long to receive a prepaid return back (and I return a lot of things)!
@anon 8:04 -- I checked mine and they are scheduled to receive on Mon -- 2 weeks -- that is crazy -- I returned some other things in to other retailers and my card has already been credited --
to top it all of -- I called GEC and they told me it looks as though the USPS lost track of it and I would need to initiate a trace -- seriously -- I then tracked it from the lululemon order status page and they have it leaving USPS to Fedex where it sat for a week -- They have no clue apparently how their own system works -- when I mentioned that they said -- oh we are just able to see that now -- Really? So annoying!!
Anyone know where the spring has sprung jacket can be found? I haven't seen it on the website or at my store in N. CA
Sorry, I meant 19, and 27
