More Passage Sweater pics.
Black, white, and hot pink - that is my kryptonite color combo. I'd almost get this new Scuba for the pink logo alone.
The black striped Swiftly. I've read these are the super soft ones.

these winter outfits are all so cute!
Hi! I am the anon who asked about SE scuba *bow. Thank you for your advice! I went to my store today and bought both 4 and 6- 4 fits like a glove everywhere except my 34d chest... Felt a bit compressed there. A 6 fits nice around the chest but of course a little big elsewhere. I'll try at home with different bras and shirts to see which to keep!
My store still had SE CRBs with ruffled hem. It was so cute I couldn't pass up! However, I sized up from my usual 4 to 6... Never have sized up for crbs but thought the 4 was a tiny bit tighter than usual. Did anyone feel the same??
Weird question! I love my lulu but hubby refuses to try it. I saw the seawall lined track pants and was wondering if anyone knows if the lining in them is the same fabric as the COOLMAX lining in the womens lined Studio Pant? It doesn't say anything about the mens being COOLMAX.. I love my stuido pants and I think if the mens are the same he would love them for ice fishing and just lounging... any ideas?!
Black, white, Hot Pink and Grey, what's not to love. Besides that the Black stripped Swiftly looks amazing and if it is supersoft I am getting it for sure. Will stop at the store on my way home. Also, hubby called to inform me that he now knows that I ordered more stuff from Lulu. Was also asking why do I order stuff on line when I go to the store every other day anyway. Men..... they will never understand. Anyhow, I am assuming I got my GW and my yogasmoga order today in the mail. Very excited and will write a detailed fit review for everyone over the weekend for GW for sure, although kind of scared now of all the cyber bullying going on about mentioning any other brand. So, will write only if I am VERY impressed. One last thing the model for the black stripped swiftly is simply beautiful. I am very impressed.
The New Striped Swiftly ARE SUPER SOFT.
The coco pique felt more "printed on" rather than actually textured or anything....so I passed.
Is the black, white stripe with pink logo Scuba online? I can't find it!! It is super cute!
Hello LLA - Love your blog ! :)
This is OT - Do you know if we will be getting that raspberry Ebb to Street Tank ?? Or is it just in Australia ? Really waiting for that one. Thanks !
OMG LLA! You're really outdoing yourself! So many blog posts! Thank you so much! I love it!
love the coco pique and got a pair the other day! LLA - u must track them down!
OT - can you explain the difference between the skinny will and will pant? i just went into my closet and pulled out an old pair of wills and am reminded how awesome they are! looks like they only make skinny wills now. what's the difference?
I like the scuba with with the pink symbol too. But not to keen on the big white lulu logo on the front. I like those to blend in with scuba.
GW Update: I was able to find a 6 at another store today! Thanks to the ladies who kindly replied to my appeal!
I can't wait for the new black/ white with brisk bloom SUBA to come to the states!! Must have!
Thank you for all the pique feedback! At this point, I am limiting myself to must-have items only :) so it really helps to get a better idea of how I want to save/spend my money, thanks!!
I have to leave a comment on how GREAT Yogasmoga is to work with. I had bought a pair of their pink Run Jump pant size 12 and they are a little loose. I had made my purchase when Gilt had YS on sale two weeks ago. I called Gilt to return and would of had to of taken a Gilt credit, which I did not want. I called YS and worked with Rose and she was wonderful about replacing pant with a new color and size. Only constraint was I had color options offered thru Gilt at time of sale promotion. I can live with those options.
I also called YS two days prior to calling about returning pant, because one of my "Refer A Friend $25 Smogi Bucks" did not show up in my account. I forward an email that my friend and I had exchanged about YS clothing and what she had bought and Rose deposited $25 in my Smogi account. I can't wait to get my new items that I ordered and so hope they work out. It is a pleasure to deal with a wonderful company that really appreciates my hard earned money.
Thanks LLA for informing us on YS and other options for work out gear.
Popped into my store today. Ladies near South Coast Plaza - if you weren't able to get a GW online they had a bunch as of 3PM! They only had one size left in the heathered white but DZ, black and inkwell, they had a decent stock. They also have the black/white stripe and white/black stripe swiftly tank and the black/white stripe SS. I left with the SS even though I ordered the LS last night. The white/black stripe hurt my eyes a bit to look at honestly. Very pretty though. I second another commenter who said that the swiftly is SUPER SOFT. It's VERY comfy. They also had TONS and I mean probably 20+ pique vinyasa scarves. I had never seen so many scarves in stock in one color before!!! They must have made a lot of them because we were all going 50 shades of cray over them on the blog and they haven't sold out yet online! Some ruffled stuff left as well for those interested!
I wore my GW today for the first time outside of the house. It's been hovering around the mid 50s all day in SoCal (sorry East Coasters that's cold for us!) and the GW kept me very warm! I worn a CRB underneath and I did not feel one bit of cold and I am the girl who gets cold when it's 95 degrees outside.
@11:48 - I was able to slowly get my hubby to try a few lulu pieces here and there. I got him a short sleeve tech shirt that he liked so much he asked me to get more for him. LOL who knew, I think he is finally convinced it is more than just a form thing it is also a function thing. As long as the colors are more muted and not too much for flashy details he'll wear it. He likes when the logo blends in too, he is pretty low key.
@12:08 - I personally appreciate information and fit reviews from other clothing brands. I have some Yogasmoga and while I might not be a GW affectionado, I appreciate that we are all different with different bodies and different things appeal to each of us. While the GW might not be my cup of tea, I'm thrilled that so many ladies are happy with the item.
So if my vote counts, I like the additional information about other clothing lines than LLL. If I don't feel a post or comment is in my interest area I skip it. From my experience, most of the ladies (and a few gents) who comment on this blog are really great folks. In fact, I've "met" some really nice and kind people through this blog.
climbing down from my soap box...

@ anon 4:51 pm - that is good to hear. Was the Gilt stuff final sale? I know a person who took advantage of the $75 Thanksgiving promotion, spent $140 on two pairs of crops and finds them loose in the crotch and she would love to exchange but that offer was marked final sale. She ordered her same size from the first production run and since the fit has been tweaked in this production run it no longer works for her. I am going to refer her to working with Rose and hopefully she can take care of her.
@ anon 4:56 pm - I was at Fashion Island today and they had a bunch of Gratitude Wraps, too. I didn't see the pique Vinyasas up front but they told me they had a bunch in the store and I saw a woman buying them.
@LLA - did you notice what looks like a new floral print in the sports bras banner picture on the US side? If this is old news, disregard. :o)

LLA Gilt sale was not a Final Sale which is unusual for Gilt. I was under the impression that Gilt Sale was YS original line of clothing, prior to any tweaking. My other 12 leggings I bought fit wonderful. I think I will try slimmies next, long as the length on long is only 33.
I had a similar experience with YogaSmoga. I order crops on Gilt that were too big and they let me exchange for the style/color/size of my choice if I paid to ship my crops to them. I worked with Annie and she is lovely.
I also ordered pants and a top during the black friday deal and before ordering I asked them about the "final sale" and they told me that it was technically final due to shipping costs, but that if the size they recommended (based on the measurements I sent them) did not fit, that they would do an exchange. Basically I think they are wonderful because they are normal people (not overly cheerful with scripted answers) who respond to concerns and if there is an honest size issue or something out of your control (like the different fit of the two different batches), they just want to make you happy. They also respond to emails very quickly. I just got my black friday order today and I am very happy... Both the pants and top have a very nice feel - I got the slimmie pants and I LOVE the twistie tank in particular (both are same as my lulu sizes). The tank is softer fabric than luon (I got the light grey), but still feels fitted and "technical" (i.e., not just a soft cotton camisole w/bra).
Oh, and no - I do not work for YS! However, I do respect that this is a lululemon blog (I love lulu, which is why I am here)... maybe there could be an ongoing YS discussion in the "other athletic wear brands" eventually. Then it wouldn't detract from lulu discussion, but people could still get helpful info! Anyways - thanks for your great forum LLA!
Oh and gilt stuff was not final sale, but it was returnable for Gilt credit only.
@ aon 7:09 pm -lol on the "overly cheerful with scripted answers" I've heard some GEC people are pretty cranky, especially during this last phase of people ordering the GWs with orders being cancelled.
@ anon 6:00pm - if your 12 leggings are from the first run you better check to see how your size got tweaked from first run to this last run. I know the length was one of the items got tweaked.
@macfrannie - that bra has been up there for a month now, and it's nowhere to be seen. I've asked GEC and they won't tell me anything. I wish someone had details! I've been waiting for this bra since last month.
Yep! The SmogaYoga moles are still out! Hello Annie :). Thank you for suggesting we start a separate Smogi discussion board.
@anon 6pm - mole! In your earlier post you mentioned you already ordered new items. In the last post you said you will try slimmies next. Fake! I'm tired of the YS people using this blog as their marketing platform. Has totally turned me off to the brand.
@anon 6pm - Don't worry people who can read simple english realize that the first order was a replacement and now you want to order a new item, the slimmie pants. These LULU CS people have now resorted to cyber bullying. Dont pay any attention to their comments which don't even make any sense. There are obviously a lot of us who want to hear about your experience. The LLA deal with yogasmoga both times caused a sellout. Obvously we are listening to LLA's reviews and each other's comments. No need to worry about the LULU CS Moles.
@anon 4:30 am - I am glad you are turned off of the brand as I would hate to see you wearing the same thing as me. The only question now is how do I get you turned off of LULU since I wear LULU too not just yogasmoga.
What is really bugging me is that if LLA is reviewing a brand and it has good things, why can't we comment on it. Obviously if the review is good and so many of us buy the brand that the items get sold out. Then obviously there will be a lot of comments about it. If you don't like it then skip over them. No need to bully others. I don't think yogasmoga is such a large company that it can threaten LULU..... unless that is exactly what you LULU CS Moles feel. I for one got my yogasmoga package today in the mail alongwith my new LULU items including GW. The clothes are in the washer. I will wear them this weekend and will put up a full fit review. Since I will be trying on both LULU and Yogasmoga clothes over the weekend, you the LULU CS Moles will have a choice. You can kiss my behind in LULU or in yogasmoga.
@macfrannie @7:09 - I got my yogasmoga outfit yesterday. It was my first order and I loved the handwritten note and the beautiful packaging. I had a hard day at work and I was so touched when I saw the note.
I absolutely LOVE my new Run, Jumo PLay crops and the twistie tank. The fit is awesome. I ran 3 miles in the run & jump and it did not move or slip on me.
I do agree with you that while I do like Lulu and thats why I am on this blog, I like that fact that there are others making a great product and I would love some variety as everyone at the gym seems to be wearing the same thing and thats boring.
Also it seems like some people are offended that we would care to like another brand - they are making bullying comments that would discourage others to post about someone other that lulu - so I do think at that separate section would be more healthy. I really don't care for the nastiness of some people on here - not sure if they are lulu employees feeling a bit disenchanted!
Getting of my soap box now as well!
5:51 PM MacF, I noticed that bra too/floral pattern and thought it was new, but I guess it's old news re: the image. I don't think that floral is out yet?
Aaand just my 2 cents on people commenting on YogaSmoga "moles." Too much time on your hands! How can you possibly know this? Do you have some sort of IP post tracker software (is there such a thing? if you're not the owner of the blog?) I don't work for YS but I DO know that I found out about the brand here. There WAS a lot of discussion about fit, performance etc. and LLA continues to support and provide fit reviews and a placer to discuss.
I think YS is probably doing OK on their own. However, they still don't have a place for customer product reviews (like LLL) and those reviews are valuable to customers.
I agree about the Lulu (no)customer service bullies!
LLA Thank you for your thoughts and recommendations on lulu as well as YogaSmoga and other brands. My favorite leggings of all time are YS and am excited to hear of their new designs and what LLA thinks about them.
