Lots of goodies tonight. I contained myself to only ordered the Sizzle Cool Racerback since a true, non-green yellow hasn't been around in a long time. The $98 price tag of the Voyage sweat pants deterred me. I might change my mind when I see them in the store but for now I am resisting. I also might pick up the Spry Swiftly tank when I try it on but can also resist it from the web photos.
I am not a fan of run shirts with swift panels in them. The upper chest is one of my high sweat areas. I don't want swift stuck to me as I run. Blerg.
Oh yeah, FYI - I've seen a few try on photos of the denim Spry Wunder Unders and they fit more like tights than pants. They will show every ripple and dimple of your knees and other parts. I've seen them on some skinny people, too. The term we used for the fit was "personal".
What did you all order?

I got the spry wu - I did try them in the store. I didn't think they were bad at all. Light colors will show dimples but the thicker fabric was nicer then any of the other recent wu. The color is flattering and the detail in the fabric was interesting. They were stretcher then expected. If you are on the fence, I would get them. I am between a 4 and 6 and I just bought the 4.
LLA - Do you know if the Run: Fast Track Tank or the Deep Breath Tanks will come in Spry or Love Red? Thanks!
That hoodie hurts my eyes..........
Gonna check out the love red in person in store when I get a chance. Really need to know the true color of this red, if its more orange or more true. And that love red contempo is very irresistible.
@LLA
Yup! I "personally" pick my fit for the spry blue/twin stripe spry blue denim WUC! ;) Hoped they fit fine, heh-heh! :P Watched Britt and Antonia on their "find your great fit with britt" video. They were ever so careful with their lingo that I was on needles and pins watching them, in case they flub something. Also ordered the sizzle CRB. Such a pretty and cheery color!
spry blue crb energy bra wunder under crop and inspires.. all spry blue, my fave color and I knew this wallet buster was coming! :)
Stoked, may return for the spry blue swiftly short sleeve & long sleeve next week.
Spry Blue and Love Red Swiftly tanks for me. I am a sucker for Spry Blue... Got the Contempo jacket in the store today--I never thought I would buy that style, but it is so gorgeous in Spry. Would love the Inspires too, but my budget is blown.
Why is LLL putting out so many Scubas in the middle of summer? I don't remember them doing that in previous years. Maybe it's just an online thing because I don't remember seeing them in the store this afternoon.
Nothing for me. Might order the rasp glow free to be from a few uploads ago but worried about bleeding.
My wish list: spry blue and love red boogie shorts!!!!!! The boogie shorts have been lacking. Only reversible spongey feeling ones. All the one sided colors from spring were sent straight to outlet for sheerness. I'm really needing some bright color single sided boogies!
First time in a LONG time that I have ordered anything. Got the red bangbuster, red inspire II crops, and a cool breeze energy bra.
I was really hoping for a Spry blue Power Y.
I have a question about Power Ys that maybe you all can help me out with. I wear a 2 in the CRB, but a 4 in most other tops. I'm afraid the Power Y 4 might be too big (I'm quite petite, but I do have boobs) and a little loose on me. If I wear a 2 in the CRB, would I most likely need to size down to a 2 in the Power Y?
Thanks for your help in advance!
LLA: What do you think of the new Run Inspire Crops in Twin Stripe Spry Blue and Love Red? Do you think the red pants would look nice? Or just way too bright?
LLA: I just left a comment earlier and forgot to make in anonymous!!! Is it possible for you to delete that comment? It is my school email so I cannot publish that. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Iconic black wrap in my tts 8-hope its not too small!
Y
@ anon 10:20 pn - I am not sure. I hope so but don't know for sure. One clue is to look at what australia gets since they are getting some new stuff before we do.
Yay Iconic wrap for US! Ordered the black, and the sizzle CRB for the same reason LLA, love a true yellow! Was really hoping for sizzle speeds. Curious on the PYB fit, they remind me of coast to class pants, but the $92 deters me from buying, the red denim is pretty though. Wish they hadn't put the stripes on the spry swiftly, would have been so pretty just plain! Oh well, my bank account isn't too upset :)
Oh yeah and the love red and polka dot energy bras and bang busters!! Hope they come out with power y in spry, sizzle and love red!!
Y
I got Love Red CRB, Love Red Swiftly Racerback and Spry Swiftly Racerback. I prefer swiftlies over CRBs but wasn't sure what I'd like more in person... so both it is and whichever I don't like will go back. I didn't like Spry in the CRB so hopefully I like it in the swiftly. It looked nice in person. I'm considering the love red short sleeve swiftly but I try and limit myself on how many pieces of one color I get so I can have variety in my collection.
That scuba also hurts my eyes. the stripes and polka dots don't look terrible together on the speed shorts but on the scuba...that's another story.
Also, lol at "personal"
LuLuAddict:
I also passed on the Voyager sweat pants. $98.00 is WAY too much for them. Also, it's summer...I was hoping for some more yoga tanks.
I definitely skipped the denim WUs. I have one pair from a while ago and I really don't like them. They are too heavy for any kind of workout that makes you sweat and as many have commented before, they do show everything...every little dimple or ripple. YIKES.
Disappointed that the solid love red play shorts weren't uploaded. Was it possibly uploaded in prior weeks and I missed it?
So far, just the red Track Attack shorts & bangbuster. I'm trying to decide between the Spry CRB & swiftly sl. I love spry!
The last time I woke up at 2am for an upload...was 2 years ago!!! Seriously! I dont do this anymore! I did it this morning for the sizzle CRB, because I lost so much weight...Im down from a size 10 to a 4 & 6! It looked a little like my heathered split pea, which is now too big. I was also going to buy the RED voyage pants, but actually cant tell if its a true red in the pics and some people it looks good on and others, not so much. No store near me...so $100 is a lot for sweats, I might need to return. (And lulu has a TERRIBLE return policy at best!) Not going to bite, especially when I remember Lulu sweats being in the $70-$75 range. $100 is just insane.... Guess they need to start charging that, to pay for all their lawyers they will soon need. LOL DOUGH!
No Love Red Festival Bag? I was waiting for that. Got the Spry Blue WUC in the meantime.
I snagged the sizzle and spry CRBs. The mod dot/twin striped hoodie is beyond ridiculous. The Voyage sweatpants look intriguing but NOT at that price point. Yikes. I have a couple of pairs of Cuddle Up pants from a few years ago and at least I can say that the material is super substantial and extremely warm to be worth the money. And, I don't think they were that much either. I knew that the price point on those would be outrageous so I have not allowed myself to get too excited about them. It also helps to have seen a number of unflattering photos.
I feel like this version of Love Red looks way more cherry than last fall. Last fall it seemed to have such an orange undertone that didn't appeal to me. I am hoping so, because I love, love, love a cherry red.
I would have gone for the spry blue studio crops, but now that they have cheapened them so much I can't bring myself to get another pair. Sad. Such a cute pant.
@ anon 10:32 pm - i didn't notice any school emails. What time was the comment? I also think you can just go to your comment and hit the little trash button to delete it yourself.
I know I said earlier that I don't like the red twin stripe but I take that back. I REALLY want the red twin stripe heart opener tank that Canada got tonight. I wish the US side got it too. Maybe it will be in stores here. Anyone in the OC area in CA seen it around?
Question- why does Canada sometimes get stuff that the US doesn't get in uploads and vice versa?
This is the 1st time in a LONG time I've ordered more than 1 piece from the same upload!
So far I got the Spry CRB, Spry Twin Stripe energy bra and the Spry WUC. I'm a sucker for turquoise/aquas, I still haven't received the twin stripe CRB from last week's upload, but I love this color in everything I've seen so far! I can't believe I'm thinking of getting the Contempo in spry too.
I took a huge chance on the WUCs though, since you say the fit is "personal." I guess I'll see what that means...next week when my order arrives!
I think my love affair with expensive gym clothes has finally ended. And something about this whole brand has been overexposed...literally too! Bummer about the see through spry crops. Love the spry color though not a fan of the Santa Claus red.
I'm not sure if some of you are talking about a different Power Y than the one I see online, but the Spry Blue was released last week. I ordered mine last Tuesday and it's still showing up on the website, just not in the "What's New" section. You have to look in the "Sports Bra" section. As of about 5 seconds ago, they were still listing every size as being in stock.
I passed on spry blue... Lulu has been overmaking blues and purples lately and Ive had my full of blue. I never see Lulu making many browns or moss greens? You rarely ever see chocolate brown either. Ive been looking for 5 + years for a brown Lulu headband--Seen a few from 7-10 years ago for sale on Ebay, but they were in poor condition. I have a pair of wren Lulu pant IIs I need to take the tags off and wear! :)
Hi, I'm 5'5 116 32 dd and also wear a size 2 in CRB tanks and a 4 in built in support tanks. I purchase 4's in the Power Y even though I have some room in the body simply for chest coverage. I have tried a 2 in the new Power Y luon light tanks and they are just too small in my chest. I also layer mine with an energy bra for running. Hope this helps:)
I've been waiting (not so patiently, lol) for the love red items to start trickling out... and was so bummed not to see the love red Energy bra left out of tonight's upload even though it's already in stores. Seems like those of us who aren't next to a store & have to rely only on web orders are at a huge disadvantage when it comes to getting new releases. Rant aside, I did get the love red free to be...
I feel like I contained myself as this felt like a lulu upload from the days of yore. I still spent quite a bit. I ordered the Spry WUCs, Spry crb (one for me and one for my sis), Spry Contempo, Spry undies, and Love Red ss swiftly. I was all ready to order the LR Voyage sweats but holy ridiculous price! I don't know...something about that leap from $88 (what I expected them to be) to $98 that made me decide against them. Especially knowing I would need to pay to get them shortened too as I live nowhere near a lulu to do it for me for free and at 5'6" a 33 1/2" inseam is definitely way too long. There seriously was like six other things I wanted but I had to stop somewhere. Hopefully that LS Spry swiftly stays in stock for a couple weeks for another payday and I might snag that for fall. I love this color (but I bet you already gathered that. Ha!). I have crazy fair skin or I would've been all over that sizzle crb too but I feel like I would look truly ghastly in that one. I will probably do a bra or something in sizzle as an accent. Oh wow, great upload lulu! Now hopefully it's not crap quality when it arrives...
Does anyone know if voyager pants fit TTS? I am considering buying them. Maybe. The price tag is outrageous.
Marti said....I'm curious how Spry compares to Snorkel, I have a Snorkel Define and microstripe Snorkle CRB. I already have a Rubber Ducky CRB, so no point in getting the Sizzle CRB. Although Sizzle appears to be brighter I don't like buying too many variations of the same color.
I bought Love Red Slope Stripe last year and sent it back because it's too orange and I already have a Static Alarming CRB
I dont like the pocket on the new Voyage pants so I'll stick to my Lulu II and Cuddle Up pants.
Ok, Im just striking out here.
Can anyone comment on how the Run Inspires are for sheerness lately?
Thanks :)
Nothing for me this upload, I would like to check out the red in stores but I bought a couple currant red tops last year. I would like a love red CRB.
I'm just so chapped that the polka dot energy bra hasn't shown up in my store yet and hasn't been uploaded online! Come on Canada! (this isn't my first comment with his lament, haha). I would also LOVE a ta ta tamer in polka dot, I know that you LLA commented on that as well. It'd be great for crossfit and such.
I also wanted to give an OT super quick performance report for my Yogasmoga crops! Wore the india blue run and play crops to crossfit yesterday, fit great, stayed up, didn't show too much swass. Love them! I still love lulu but their pants just haven't been doing it for me lately functionally.
Does anyone know if Contempo jacket in Rasp glo bleeds?! Debating whether to keep mine... but so far I havent heard anyone mention the jacket bleed.
Does anyone know if the Pizzazz Track and Train tank was released online already (and sold out already?)? I know it was in stores, but I can't figure out if it was online. Thanks in advance!
Spry blue free to be bra!
I can't decide which CRB I want~ soot, twin stripes in spry or black/white, solid spry, or sizzle.. Ahhh!!
Uugh that Scuba hoodie is the ugliest thing I've ever seen, looks like something from a TLC or Kid n Play video from the 90's. How obnoxious!
Was waiting and waiting for spry swiftlies - but really wanted the v neck ss and scoop neck ls. Grrr...should have known.
KB THAT was funny! Kid n Play video! haha!!
@ anon 5:59am the polka dot energy bra IS on the canadian website. it was uploaded last night. the colour swatch makes it look white, but if you roll over the colour name you can see it (or just go to the energy bra page).
i got a bunch of new swiftlys :) i ordered the spry blue fly tech ones from ivivva but they are all too short, so i will be returning them.
Nothing for me tonight...already got the Spry CRB in store. Tempted by the spry sleeveless swiftly though! Since it came in both spry and LR, do we think it is fair to assume a Sizzle sleeveless swiftly is coming? I think the muted swiftly sizzle color would look better on my skin tone (pale!) than the brightness of the CRB.
It was a big night for me last night. I bought the sizzle CRB, spry swiftly tank, and the soot light bandha crops.
I'm pretty sure the tops will be keepers, but I'm not sure about the bottoms. I went to two local stores and neither of them had them in stock so I'm going to take a chance and order online.
The spry CRB was tempting, but I have both Beaming and Beach Blanket Blue CRBs and I think that the spry is too close to these to justify getting this.
Yes...very helpful! Thanks so much. I think I better go with the 4. I don't need to look like dolly parton.
raspberry glo bleeds in some items. the fast track shorts that have the yellow and raspberry glo stripes bled all over the place. The bang buster head band with the same color scheme did not. It is very odd and also frustrating.
M
I ordered the spry blue and sizzle CRBs. Nothing else interests me. I do like the spry blue swiftly SL but don't need the same color in two tanks.
Do the CRB's bag out over time? I keep buying it in 6's but it is a bit loose in the belly. Not sure if I should be sizing down in the yellow, blue and red one I purchased last night!
OT -- got the WUC in wee stripe black in the right size. I cannot believe how lousy the quality is! I like them well enough, but they are sheer the black side onto the stripe side (like you can see the stripes through) and the black side is kind of nylon-shiny. Back when I started buying LLL in 2004-05, this would have been unheard of. So sad. They haven't fixed their black luon, either, it seems.
@ anon 8:22 am - I own over 40 CRBs (I know, I know...) and they've never bagged out on me. I do alternate sizes for the reason you describe(sometimes i order a 2 for a tighter fit on the midsection, sometimes a 4 if i want it to be a bit less clingy). But whatever size i've ordered, the tank maintains it's integrity well and doesn't generally stretch. I wash in cold and hang dry for reference!
@ Mandy - all the inspires i've tried are still crazy, crazy sheer (most recently the mod dot waistband pair). I love inspires but haven't bought a pair in over a year. I see women in them all over the place and don't have to heart to tell them I can see their underwear pattern/color...
I am 5'5" 120 lbs., 34d. I wear a 6 in crb and 6 in power y's also. Sizing up in power y is too lose in body of the tank for me.
I used to love red items, but I found myself reach them the least in reality, so no more red for me. I may get the polka dot/stripe scuba tho, it's so ugly you can't miss it haha.
OMG there are bang buster head bands on ebay for between $20-$40 including ones you can buy in the store/online.
i'm giving the voyage sweat pants a try - order my regular sz 4 in black. i love the color of thos WUCs but i would have to see them in person - hoping to get into a store this week to return the nimbus pacesetter and check out some of the new items.
@8:22
My CRBs don't bag out through out the day. I actually size down in CRBs because they are looser in the midsection and I like mine form fitting. But my swiftlys on the other hand do bag out over the course of the day wearing them.
I called BS a week ago....when I heard everyone dissing the voyage sweats in love red. I said, Im sure everyone will say how ugly they were and they will FOR SURE be a sell out item! All sizes on Canada side in the red are now gone! I now know when everyone says they hate something, to make sure I buy it...cause 98% of the time, its sold out in less than 24 hrs! (either that, or the online store is being stocked with 2 of each size! LOL) I knew it would be a popular item! And if no one bought them, then it was all the people who buy them up for Ebay and sell them off for $300 a piece...
@Mandy I just bought the run:inspires with the groovy nimbus waistband last week (in store - doesn't look like that pattern is online) and I haven't had any issues with them. I wear them for running and they're not sheer in my TTS. I wouldn't wear them to yoga because they do go a little sheer in a deep bend but for running they are fantastic. I have tried other inspires and passed on them because of sheerness. But these ones were so good I just order the new spry ones hoping they are the same. Really hate how different styles of the same item aren't always the same!
How funny is that no one on here seems to have ordered the Iconic Wrap, still it sold out in both colors within hours! I did get one in heathered white. I also order the Soot/Pizzaz WUC, and I seem to be the only one so far. I actually like how one can see the orange shade through the Soot side. Got the Run Fast Track Tank in black and white (so beautiful), Swiftly racerback in Spry and the Run Mod Moves SL in aqua/white/PP.
I'm afraid Spry is too close to Surge, which I have in a CRB, hence the Spry in a Swiftly this time round. Also, I believe Sizzle is too close to Split pea to order it. Have way too many yellows in my lulu collection. Int'l order here, so everything better fit me right, because nothing will go back.
Aren't you guys worrdied about the red bleeding? I do not trust Lululemon at the moment it is not supposed to be until September when we see an improvement in their Luon pants.
I'm curious about the reversible soot light/pizazz WUC. I have other WUCs and WUPs, but no reversible ones. Thoughts on any fit differences between reversible WUCs and regular WUCs? TTS, or do they run small/big? FWIW, I am almost always a sz. 6 (5'7" & 130ish lbs.)
Anyone seen the love red scuba in real life? On the web, the red contempo looks deep and gorgeous but the scuba looks a tad faded (due to different material). Thoughts? I've been waiting for a great scuba colour for such a long time!
sizzle is nothing like split pea. it is more of a natural yellow as supposed to a dayglo color. there is a bit more green in the split pea color and it is brighter. I am tempted by the sizzle crb, it would look great with my bordeaux hot shorts.

Marti said....I didn't think I would like the multi groovy stripe CRB ( looks a bit childish) but it pairs nicely with mt Paris Pink Define jacket.
@ 12:20 PM
Regarding the reversible WUCs, sometimes the fabric feels a bit spongey and stretchier for some color combos. I have the older paris pink/black ones that have that feel to them. I just got the black striped/black ones in the mail from last weeks upload. The black fabric has a slight silky slick feel to it.
One thing I do notice is that the cuff at the ankle does not lie as nice and flat as a single layer WUC. Since 2 layers of fabric are being sewn together it tends to look bulkier which I don't really like.
@anon 6:04 I have ras glo contempo jacket and wore it during a crazy heavy downpour. I had on a white tank underneath and absolutely no bleeding even after wearing it wet for over an hour. In my experience its safe. I also have ras glo multigroovy ftb bra and power y multigroovy with no bleeding whatsoever and ive done nothing special with regards to presoaking.
I had a pair of black Voyage sweatpants in my shopping cart, went back about 20 minutes later after I decided on CRB colors, and they were no longer available! (This was around 9am Atlantic time.) Wasn't very happy about that, I can tell you. So I ended up with a Spry Blue and a Love Red CRB, and I added a Raspberry Glo Light Swiftly Tech Racerback that I've been eyeing up as well.
I went to the store today. Tried on spry crb and twin stripe black power y. Passed on both. I have a lot of surge from a few years ago. ( surge and spry are not the same tho - spry is very bright cheery blue) I'm trying to not impulse buy. I did like that power y though. I also returned my black WUC I ordered last week. Something is off in the fit IMO - but they weren't sheer. I did like the stripped ss swiftly, but worried about the V neck being too low when I teach spin so i passed. Nothing really appealed to me. I'm not a fan of the current colors. I got a practice freely tank in pinkellicious. I'm new to that style. I liked it, but it really stretched out during hot yoga. It gave me coverage (34D).
My experience in the store felt weird- not like a high end shopping experience. The educators were kinda off putting and juvenile. Maybe it's just me though being in my early 40's.
I placed an order which included the Love Red Voyage sweatpant within half an hour of the upload. It is still processing although another order I placed hours later has shipped. Hope they are not having problems with orders and insufficient stock for the pants, since it's now sold out online in my size.
Anon 8:25PM here -- Happy to report I received a shipment notification for my LR sweat pant. Phew. They must be working late hours to clear orders, which I suspect they had problems with.
