The upload was late last night and I had turned off my computer by the time it happened. I decided not to order anything and try it all on at the store. The things I am most interested in are the Pinkelcious Energy bra and the v-neck Swiftly SS. I have tons of both these items so don't "need" them but will probably end up with the Energy bra. As far as the SS Swiftly goes, I have five of them right now but rarely wear them. My weather is such that I usually wear a Swiftly tank or LS to run in, hardly ever a short sleeve. However, the striped pattern is very cute so I want to try that on. What did you all order?

Bummed about the late upload! Hopefully the stuff I bought at 5:30am will ship out today. Ugh.
Anyway, picked up the very green energy bra to pair with my pow pink CRB and v-neck swiftly from last summer. Also picked up the inkwell speeds (yay!) and inkwell studio crops that I've been eyeing. As much as I love very green, I have a menthol SS swiftly and couldn't justify the v-neck. Here's hoping that new run tank comes out in very green sometime soon.
suggestion try on the V-Tee before u buy it. I felt like its a snug fit u may have to size up if u r in between ... enjoy. I luv your blog
I was really hoping for a CRB in some of the new colors. And the embody crops that had the blue on them. Crossing my fingers for next time.
I got the blue V-neck swiftly (excited about this!), the Groovy run shorts in blue, Mile a minute tank (I know some ladies are worried about this being too short - but I'll wear it wish shorts so not too worried about bum coverage). Oh! And the Beach Runner crops in blue. I am not sure about the low rise and waistband, though. will have to try on and decide. Yes, I love blue!!
I got two energy bras (Very Green and Aquamarine) but am telling myself one will have to go back...I can't wear them to run so they don't get a ton of wear. But they sure are cute!
Bummed the US side missed out on the pretty old-luon Power Ys that Canada got. I would have gotten BD, VG, and maybe even Inkwell too. Oh well!
I opted not to buy anything online and went to my local store today. I came home with the very green energy bra, the pinkelicious pace crops, and the new clari tee in grey. The clari tee is great and very flattering - I thought it ran TTS. The pinkelicious pace crops are a bit bright but I thought they would be fun to wear to Komen/race for the cure races, etc. I did notice the CRB section of my store was pretty bare compared to the other tank styles - wondering what is going on there.... Does anyone know when Swiftly 1/2 zips are usually released? There hasn't been a release since Sept or Oct I believe.
very green power Y, pinkelivious energy bra and blue headband. Love the new blue scuba but will probably hold out to see if I really need it haha. Spent a crap loa on the Wmtm upload last week :-(
I am running a half marsthon memorial day wknd and could really use some running crops. I've been eying the run inspires forever but I'm not close to a store to try them on. I'm a little concerned about them comments about declining quality. Can anyone advise as to the quality of these if you've tried or bought them recently?
Very Green v-neck swiftly! I love very green in that material, and I'm excited to get to own a v-neck swiftly. The cute stripe pattern is just icing on the cake :)
I really, really wanted the very green SS swiftly. However, I noticed in the model pictures that the stripes don't match up along the seams. That's a sign of poor quality. Now I don't know if I'll order one...
In other news, I placed my second Athleta order last week. I'm pleased with the two tanks I purchased in my first order. Great quality and lower price! I also love how a lot of their items come in petite, regular, and tall sizes.
Where are the embody crops in blue or teal?! So disappointed!
LLA or others - Is it true from the intel you've heard we're not getting a Very Green CRB? If so, I'll be very disappointed. VG is beautiful in person and matches the Emerald Green Pantone color for Spring 2013 so perfectly. I'm not one to buy into hyped color trends, but I love the look of this green. It's definitely one of my favorite colors offered in a very long time.
A CRB would be so lovely as I could pair with more clothing items than my regular workout wear. Crops, swiftlys, and short color blocked tanks... not so much.
Also, why the heck did the US not receive the VG luon Power-Y tank? That made me so bummed, I couldn't bring myself to order anything this morning. I feel like I'm in a dysfunctional relationship here. Lame.
I bought the energy bras in both very green and pinkelicious and also the SS swifty v-neck in very green and baby blanket blue (which I may return if it's too similar in color to my waning blue one). This is my biggest order in a looooong time!
I picked up the tall pinkalicious pacesetter and the mile a minute tank in blue. I'm tempted by the vinyasa tank and the blue energy bra but I'm still hoping for the energy bra in fresh teal. I want a light blue/green energy to pair with lots of my lighter tops and black tanks.
I love the beach runner crops wee pace color but he blue color blocking and cheap looking waistband make it easier to pass up. The price point is much too high. $78 at best IMO.

Love the blog. Thanks for all your hard work and time you put into it. Ordered the inkwell speeds although I have such a hard time with shorts. Only have one pair of speeds that I sized up in and they are pretty big...hoping this pair fit well and I also ordered two v-neck swiftly's. Not sure if I love the stripes but I will see... Any helpful hints on the speed shorts? I always seem to get a little bit of a muffin top in all lulu shorts, which makes a tight CRB a little un attractive. Wonder if a shorter tank might help??? Anybody else have that problem?
I ordered two new Energy Bras (pinkelicious and very green) which I really don't need but am excited about nonetheless.
I am tempted by the Vinyasa Surf tank (love the dune/bleached coral/pop orange), but I want to try it on so I'll wait to see if my store got it. I also like the look of the Mile A Minute tank as I prefer a shorter length, and I love the inkwell/black but again I want to try on. I really don't need any more tanks...
So, so sad the US didn't get the Luon Very Green Power Y. Almost cried. Now am desperately searching for a Canadian friend to send it to before my size sells out, since half of them are gone already. I wish I was joking...;)
Actually there we old power y tanks on the US website last night well actually this morning around 4. They had the black, the dalhlia color and that lavender color. But when I woke up they were gone.
i just got off the phone w/ a very nice gec rep. i gave him my rant about all the hemlines being too short especially the scuba- funny when it was longer i used to wait for a color to buy and sometimes i waited too long and they'd be gone, but i wasn't too concerned knowing they'd make more- well never did i forsee them going away and being replaced by this cheap imitater- i'm so mad- ya disfunctional relationship- thats a good one ha ha ha ha
