NEW! Avenue Pullover
Lots of people noticed this pullover on last night's upload. It showed up in one of my store product emails so I don't have any info but it looks like French Terry to me. It is coming in Heathered White and Heathered Light Gray (yawn). I'll update when I find out more.

"falling freely hand warmers"
hand warmers? as in gloves? lol
I love the look of this hoodie but it looks a little boxy. I'll be buying it as soon as it uploads because I love how it looks with the ear warmer! Perfect for taking my daughter to school on chilly mornings.
The thing that lured me into the Lulu store in the very first place were the awesome arm warmers that they made that had cuffins that turned into mitts so you didn't need to wear gloves, when it gets warm, you can pop your hands out, but keep them in the thumb holes. The silicone strip at the top keep them up on your arms. I bought 2 pairs the first year (teal and a bright pink). The following year, they were made of heavier fabric, longer and more expensive. I bought 2 more pairs (black and grey). The next year, I went back to get them, and they didn't have them. Then the following year, they came out, but no cuffins and made of cheaper swifly fabric. This year, nada! I love the Lulu arm warmers with the cuffins and pockets. No other company makes them like that! They are the best armwarmers for runners ever!!! Wish they would bring them back! Sigh!
Such a cute pullover, but the colors sound so boring!
Totally gorgeous sweater pullover, I'm getting it, although I just bought the Exhalation in both colors. But where I live, 9 months of the year I have to wear warm clothes.
Budapest: our Star Runner Pullover in solid black is uploaded in all sizes, US site!
Star Runner available In 4 colors now on website!!
Energy bra Upload in Wee are from Space PLUM.
I got my black wafs inspires in the mail yesterday and although thought they would be darker am ok with the color. I just tried them on. They look great and are compressive although not quite as compressive as the inkwell/hyper stripe ones that I also have. I think the inkwell ones are overall a little thicker and are totally not sheer. When I do the bend over test in the wafs I could see the white size tag but when I move the tag away I could not see my bright orange thong although am pretty sure I saw skin and butt crack (sorry to be graphic). Not sure if I will keep them. My boyfriend has already left for work and I always do the bend over test for him so that will have to wait until tonight. I would never do you yoga in inspires but would like to be able to wear them for more than just running and am not comfortable if my butt crack is going to show! I'm joining crossfit soon and do a crossfit style workout at my gym now so I need crops that are versatile.
LLA are you going to keep yours and have you worked out in them yet? Would love your feedback!
Thanks!
Completely OT, but can anyone comment on the quality of the ziggy WU in inkwell? I love the colour combination and the looks of this one, but I want the quality to be there too...
Thanks,
Mandy
@ anon 4:20 am - I ran 3 miles at the gym in my black wee space inspires yesterday and loved them so much I ordered the plum ones off the website yesterday. I found them a lot more compressive than my other wee space crops (limitless WAFS run for your life and inkwell/indigo wafs pace crops). I did a bend over for my husband when I got them and he couldn't see my underwear. I also took them to the store to see them in the 3-way mirror. I have nude yoga boyshort undies from Zobha that I wear whenever I am concerned about being see-through. I do take the tear out tag out, though. It tends to irritate me in my run crops.
@ 4:20 am - I also thought the luxtreme on the black WAFS Inpsires was thicker than previous WAFS material has been, too.
@anon 3:14 thanks for the heads up! I ordered the plum wee space energy bra in my usual 6, it better not be too small!!! I ordered a size 8 in the solid plum since it ran small... Anyone know if the wee space energy bra is back to normal sizing?
Seriously? Light Grey and Super Light Grey? Where are the Plums, Inkwells, Maybe a heathered Green Bean...
I just ordered the Hooked On Beats Pullover at the Ivivva website. It is so much cuter than the Avenue Pullover. It is made out of "breathable 4-way stretch luon fabric with a brushed back for added warmth." It has a secure back pocket, and best of all, it has thumbholes and cuffins! The reviews (all done by kids, but one was from an adult who wished Lulu carried a similar product in her size) were all positive. It's available in soot light/heathered herringbone slate/black and quartz punch heathered herringbone inkwell/quartz punch. I bought the grey. I will let you all know how it works out. Luckily for me, I have a store not too far I can return, if it doesn't work out. Oh, and the best thing, the price: $68.00!!
If anybody in Ottawa is looking for gloves or mitts (not the ones that just came out) there are some made of rulu in the Rideau Centre store. Just thought I would let you know! Bought myself a pair, likely shouldn't have but did. (sigh)
It fits small. I'm usually a 4 but had to size up to a 6. I keep trying it on but I think it's a bit too big so I'll probably have to return. Wish Lulu would keep their sizing consistent!
When was this uploaded! Can't wait to see it in person
I have the "please me pullover" from last year...this one reminds me of it...
Correction: I meant "don't hurry be happy pullover" from last year, not "please me" :)
I tried the wee space plum energy bra last week in the store and it was too small. I have been wearing a 10 in that bra for forever and I even have one 8 (currant red) and the 10 I tried in the store was wayyyy small. Major overflow problems, not attractive at all. I didn't try a 12 as I wasn't IN LOVE with the bra in the first place. I also tried the POW strip bra (inkwell, plum, AW) and the hyperstripe and found all three of them to be on the smallish side. The elastic on the bottom band also felt much "stiffer" and lest stretchy than my other bras. It seems for some things they've changed their source materials and maybe not for the better.
My two, well five cents...

Ivivva had this last year in a few colors. It's the kids version of the après run pullover Lulu had 2 years ago. I bought a hooked on beats pullover last year and while I like it, it really is cut for a child's body. I hope Lulu comes out with the run après again so I can get that one instead.
Lol! I hope they do come out with a "please me" pullover. ;)
@lulu addict what PN did this show up in? SoCal? :)
WAFS plum bra does fit very small. I am usually a 6 and could barely get it on. I went back and later tried it in an 8 and decided to get it since I like it a lot. The 8 is a tad roomy, but as I am using it for barre workouts, I can live with that. An educator at my store also commented on how small it runs.
@ Anon 7:42 AM - I bought the plum wafs energy bra in my regular 6 and didn't notice a perceptible difference in sizing - maybe I got lucky!
How do Ivivva sizes match up with Lulu's sizing?
Mandy, if you look at the size chart, you will see that you need to be pretty small to wear Ivivva. I'm a size 14 in tops there and a 4 (6 in built in bra tops) in Lulu. I haven't bought any bottoms yet. For reference, I am 5'0, 104 lbs. and 32D.
does anyone think wunder unders will come in embossed paisley? i prefer wunder unders all the time because sometimes there are seams and stitches in weird places in the other pants.
i'm so over all the ziggy and want some cuter wunder unders!
I have bought 14 ivivva. I'm 5'6.5 and 104lbs
Anon 4:20 am here - thank you for your feedback! I am leaning towards keeping them because the color is really funky but still need the boyfriend to check them out. I got home late (officially joined crossfit tonight!!!) and he's now in bed. I know - he's in construction though so gets up at 5 am. I'll post back with what I decide to do with them.
Thanks Anon 3:55 :)
I tried some Ivivva stuff recently and sent most of it back. The 14 fits like a 4 or 6 but is cut differently in most cases. I tired the Herringbone Rhythmic Tights and they were very thin and had zero compression. The waist has a lower rise than WU. Their version of Studio crops also had a very low rise and camel toe on me. On the other hand, I tried their version of the swiftly SS and it is very good quality and fit nicely.
