New Tech Mesh Tight and Sheeriously SS top in the top photo. Second photo featured the new Universal Wrap. I like the edgy look. The designs of these pieces remind me of Nesh NYC stuff.
New Bliss Break Wrap - very cute.
New Blissed Out Short II colors.
Universal Wrap in Black Swan, White, and Black.
I think the sharpest run outfit I spotted in this weekend's Sea Wheeze was a woman wearing Plum Inspires and a Raspberry Glo Fast Track tank. It was gorgeous and she wore it well.

Does anyone have a fit report on the tech mesh tights?
Tried on the tech mesh last week in my regular 6 in Inkwell. They are probably a 34 inseam (I'm 5'6 and they were a bit long). Not super-compressive but not too scratchy. Sheerish when I bent over but might be okay if you had a smaller bum. Althought there seemed to be excess fabric so I would not have wanted to size up. Would be cool under a skirt or long shirt. Too expensive for the amount of wear I would get but a neat layering piece if you wear lots of WUs.
The tech tights are $$$108. Crazy for tights. They are in stores now and come in black, soot gray, Navy (blk swan)
I did try on but the price is way too much for for the "cost per wear".
Ladies the tech mesh WU's are over priced @$108. For what you get...I mean you could pick these up @ Hot Topic for much cheaper since the quality is the same.
Those tech mesh tights look like they are made for pole dancing class. A little too trampy for my taste. That being said, pole dancing class sounds super-fun. I like that Lulu is getting creative in their designs but you won't be seeing me in these. Maybe if the sheer part only went up to below the knee I'd be in. As they are the look is more Miami or Jersey hot-chick style but not for a Midwest Mom like me.
LLA - haha I think we may have seen the same person wearing the plum inspires and tank ... and she had matching shoes, too! She was one that stood out in my mind as well!! :-)
i tired on and bought the mess tech tights - i LOVE them - i think they are super flattering on the leg - the ones i got were not sheer at all, they are made of luon. i think if you are on the fence you should really give them a try - they were flying off the shelves at my local store in nyc. LLA thanks so much for all the great pics!
Yuk yuk yuk tuck and toe tops are aweful that drop hem is horrible!!! so far no older lulu cuts for tops anyways!!!! big big icky can't say they could look right on anyone either!!!
Has anyone seen the Om Pant in Inkwell in stores yet? I regret not buying them when they were uploaded but have not seen them in my local stores yet. I am wondering if they were an online only item and that now I have missed them.
Anyone know what kind of shirt the model is wearing in the second photo ?
Does anyone know what colors the blissed out wrap comes in?
@Taryn 13 - Yes! Her shoes matched, too. I am always so jealous of people who can buy the colorful shoes that match their outfits. When I saw her she was walking, I think. She looks gorgeous. She had the perfect coloring for raspberry glo/plum, too - brunette and fairer coloring.
I would've gotten the tech mesh legging if only they didn't make it so long. I like bunching on the bottom, around my ankles, but since these are part mesh, it looked really funny. I know i can hem it but I won't be getting the whole effect of the leggings.
Just got home from a store trip. I got the Bliss Break Wrap in black swan, the black Tech Mesh tights, and the plum Tuck and Flow. As soon as I got home (about 1.5 hours away...) I noticed that my Bliss Break wrap has a hole in it :|
Also, I love the way the Tech Mesh tights look, but I feel as though they are rather thin and I may not keep them. What's really strange to me is that I tried the Tech Mesh tights on at two stores--the first store only had the gray in my size 6 and black in 4. I tried on the black 4's, just to see what the black looked like on. I really liked them except they were sheen-y because they were a bit small. I headed to another store close by and found the black TM tights in my size 6. However, when I tried them on, they felt/looked way thinner than the ones I tried on at the other store. Long story short, am I imagining things or has this happened to other people before? Does material vary that much in the same item at different stores? Or am I just crazy? Haha
I saw inkwell inspires in stores! Worry not!
I love the striped tuck n flow especially worn with the brown boots. I totally can't justify $78 on a shirt I could easily find at Forever 21 though :'(
I have the Nesh NYC mesh accent legging and pin-up legging. Way better quality then lulu lemon, all eco fabrics, total compression basically like spanx - i love them! Pricey but made in New York which is cool. They will ship internationally if you email them!
does anyone know where i can get the universal wrap in a 2?!! i LOVE it, and i haven't seen it posted online or in my store :/ i dont want to buy it at the ridiculous ebay price..
I tried the vinyasa wrap (black iris print/ grey yellow) and it's nothing like the feel of older vinyasa wraps. It feels kind of scratchy and very thin. Not soft at all. Still waiting for a dark colored wrap. :(
I don't think this current run got made in a 2. I was in my local store about ten minutes after they put them out, and none of the colors had 2s (but had every other size/color).
I tried on the universal wrap today and was expecting to take it home... turns out it is a lot thinner than I expected. It is definitely light weight and not ideal for an upcoming Canadian winter. I wish they had the same version in a heavier knit.
There's actually no way you could wear the tech mesh tights (or any long pants) for a pole dancing class. After getting past the very basic beginner level, you need skin exposed (inner thigh, back of knee, shins, calves) for grip in climbs and many holds and poses. I wear boogies to my classes! Most girls just dress like they're going to a hot yoga class once they get to the advanced level out of necessity to stick to the pole, not for tramp reasons.
Pole IS fun, and definitely not trampy (unless you choose to make it trampy in your dance style)!
If you're in the chicago area, there are a few great studios in the city and in several suburbs, and lots of midwest moms are students! Give it a try! :)
I tried on the tech mesh tights in inkewell, so cute, just couldn't drop the 108$ for them. sigh. I actually found that they weren't that sheer! Well given the dim change room situation at LLL, I did a full bend and couldn't see anything. If these went on markdown (wont) I would pick them up for sure.
Also random, picked up the Om me Home jacket for markdown 64$ at my local lulu. Love it! I've been waiting for it to markdown ever since it came out for ridiculous 128$. I got it in the very green because black didn't make it's way to markdown.
Has anyone seen any of the atma tanks in Canada? Haven't seen it pop up at any of my local stores..hm. Really tempted by that wrap as well. Winter is a coming.
@anon 8:24pm - Here here! Even when I was in the beginner classes I had to wear short shorts. People don't really give credit to how much athleticism and strength it takes to pole dance and have a tendency to sum it up as skanky. Ever since I started I've gotten much more confident about my body...mostly because you really just hit a point where you stop caring about how you look and start focusing on what you can achieve.
Check out Leen Isabel's web comics entitled "Pole Dancing Adventures"!!!
On another note, I jumped at the Tech Mesh Tights! They have a slimming effect on your legs and I think they'll look great in my aerial silks, trapeze and lyra classes :D
