The Light It Up skirt, Flaming Tomato 105F Singlet, and Free to Be Wild Bra. The last photo shows the skirt with a Fuel Green LS Swiftly.
Embossed Petal Camo All Sport Bra and Front Racer Tank.
Home Stretch Crew, Speed Tights, and Run With Me Toque
Reflective Run With Me Toque.
New Scubas in Pipe Dream Blue and Power Purple.
The new Heathered Slate Cool Racerback and Rocky Road Run Times shorts. Speaking of new CRBs, I am hearing the the Flaming Tomato CRB is on the thin side.
Really liking the Heathered Fatigue Metal Vent Tech. Shown with luxtreme Surge Tights.

OOh I'm thinking of getting the reflective run with me toque, but are the rumors true that they run tight? I don't think my head is very small LOL.
LLA addict: May I ask if the flaming tomato CRBs are soft? Thin and soft is still OK, just hate scratchiness :(
Nt getting the heathered slate as I have the deep coal CRB, but heathered slate sure is a great basic!
Thanks for the great pics LLA :D
Yikes! That skirt is awful! I am not a big fan of the all sport bra under the front racer tank, either.
I bought the Flaming Tomato crb the last upload and I can confirm it's on the thin side and not particularly soft either. I love the color and I am not returning it, but it's not their best crb ever by any stretch. Also, it is VERY similar to Love Red. I have a Love Red slope stripe crb and when I compare the two colors they are extremely close. If my LR crb had been a solid I would have returned the FT one.
I also bought the jacquard crops from the last upload. Agree with others on those too: thick, opaque, and because of the nature of the fabric have limited stretch. They look great on and the color is gorgeous but I am pretty sure these will only get used for Barre class when it's cold because they would just be too hot for any cardio activity inside. I'm 5'6", 126# with a butt and I stuck with my normal size 6.
I think the skirt is cute and am assuming that there is no liner because it's meant for layering.
Hi @3:53 thanks for the feedback on the FT CRB. Am on the fence about it now. The color is so so gorgeous, but wondering if I'll reach for it often. My favorites turned out to be the softer CRBs in colors that I'm kinda meh about, like Pow Pink. LOL
I don't think the Pipe Dream Blue and Power Purple Scubas are new. Those are leftovers from the Chakra Scubas they released much earlier this year...which they pulled because the hoodies all turned out to have typos due to not setting their auto-correct to Sanskrit. I think it's kind of shady of them to attempt selling them again without that disclaimer.
Question about Base Runner pants: Is anyone having a problem with knees stretching out? I just bought a pair and it looks like knees have stretched out a bit just from giving them a good try on. I still have the tags on them and haven't really worn them more than 10 min just to get a good feel of them. And pockets stick out already.
I didn't buy the reflective skirt because there wasn't any liner, and I would wear it without tights under it. I did buy the reflective shorts, and I was surprised that that they were nice and stretchy (not stiff and scratchy) 4 way fabric. They also only have 1 zippered pocket (I think when I bought them, the Lulu website said they had 3 pockets). I think I'm going to keep them despite that. I don't mind having a pair of shorts without a liner, but the skirt was a no go because of that. I also bought the bra which I am keeping for sure. It will be great for my summertime night time relay runs.
I saw the home stretch crew in store today. To the person who said their store was sold out, my store, Westfield UTC is fully stocked, every size is there, I believe some even have doubles. Not my style, but if that's your thing, go for it.
Saw those Home stretch Crews in our store today. Very soft and thicker than I expected, also the inside feels so warm, but I left them behind and hope they go to WMTM later, I think then that will be more like the price should be. Be honest, I don't want to pay that much, especially for a crew without any special design..
I tried on the Home Stretch crew today and kind of liked it. It's super warm. I thought it ran TTS.
Did the US already get the green manifesto camo speeds in an upload? Or are they just in stores?
@ anon 3:14 am - I thought they did but I could be wrong.
@ 3:53 AM, thanks for the review of FT as a colour and the quality of the luon light. NOT a fan of Love Red at all so because it is similar, big pass from me. Feel of the material also matters for sure.
Why oh why can they not produce a lovely cranberry red? I know they have done it a loong time ago. Saw it on a girl in one of my yoga classes.
Super OT, I'm always entrapped by all the colorful and print offerings by LLM, and hardly have any black, white or grey workout clothes.
Yesterday, I saw a girl in simple LLM black FTB, boogie shorts, and a grey tank, and she looked.so.good and simple chic! Sometimes it's about back to basics :D
But of course, I still love my inky florals, sashiko, and bumble berry stuff. And fuel green is considered a basic, yes?
Wasn't/isn't bumble berry kind of a cranberry red? I only saw it in store a few times so maybe it is a little more on the pink side.
US has only gotten the fuel green manifesto camo speeds in stores. They have not been uploaded on US side yet.
I got the reflective skirt and I am really liking it. love wearing my own shorts or tights underneath it.
I tend to run in the evenings and have had a few close calls with people in cars and bicycles as well.
I am happy to have this skirt.

Ftb bra question for you guys. I have mostly flow y's. I just bought the mosaic print ftb and not sure if I got the right size. I am a 6 in the flow y..although the newer colors in the past 6 months feel bigger than my old ones. I tried on the ftb in a 6 and found instances where I would slip out underneath same with the ftwb which I returned. No slippage with the size 4 but it is very tight and gives me lats fat. Do these stretch out with wear? Also on both sizes the straps lifted the band up in the back. there is very little band around the rib cage so I am not sure if I should go slightly big or tight or stick with my flow y? Any thoughts?
On topic of thin CRB's, the new brown color is VERY thin. Was so excited for a dark brown basic, and felt so let down when I even touched it, then tried on. Felt like I was trying on tights. The thinness and lack of quality is sooo bad in comparison to CRB's I have from prior 2012...the best were heathered from 2010 and 2011...so soft and thick....day's of olde I guess. Only thing truly comparible have been the Deep Coal and Slate Power Y's.

I would say I have an unusually large head, many hats do not fit me. I received the reflective run with me hat and it was fitted but comfortable (soft and cute too!). But I guess it depends how slouchy you would like it to be.
I purchased both the reflective shorts and skirt. I didn't really care for the shorts as I couldn't help but think they would bunch up when I ran. I did keep the skirt and took it out for a night run and loved it. A fellow runner coming towards me actually said she could see me almost a block away (and where did I get the cool skirt)!
@ anon 5:52pm - that is a cool story. As I was dropping my son off to some evening function tonight I was really wishing that lululemon would make dog walking reflective gear, lol. So many people are just invisible at night it kills me.
I agree with your comment LLA I have had some close calls with people crossing the street or on a bike dressed in all black in the dark, that is one of the reasons why I got the reflective skirt, people in cars sometimes aren't looking out for runners or pedestrians.
