The US got three colors in the Runbeam LS and a Neutral Blush Runbeam SS.
Canada got very pretty Jet Set Blue In the Flow Crops. I hope other items are coming in this color.
The US also got Relaxed Fit Pants.
Canada got an interesting vitasea Between the Lines LS.
New items in the Clip In line - Clip In LS, Black Grape Clip In Crops, Clip In Long Line bras.
Odd polar fleece Peplum LS.
The US got the Cozy Car coat. These have already come and gone from stores. I think these were a roomy TTS but it's been awhile since I tried it on.
Dhyana Short Sleeve Tee. I thought this was a roomy TTS with a flattering shape. My only nit is that it's kind of thin and see-through.
You have to hunt for them but the US got the Tech Mesh and Lotus Camo High Times.
Both countries got more Studio Racerback colors in Heathered Fatigue, Menthol, and Oil Slick Lotus Camo. However, the US did not get the Menthol and Lotus Camo in size twelve (or twos) for god knows what bizarro (and extremely frustrating) reason this happens. This confirms what I experienced trying to hunt these two colors down in my local stores - the US did not get twelves/twos in these colors. I ended up ordering the Menthol and Lotus Camo from Canada and will once again have a friend forward it to me.
Did you order anything today?

Nothing interesting to order in Canada (((
Disappointing upload
Still ordered the skirt just to check out
$108 for that peplum fleece pullover - are they out of their mind? I predict seeing that in WMTM in short order. I ordered the Inkwell energy bra with neutral blush (I think) back straps. Would have been interested to try the Party Yoga pant so will keep my eye out for that. j
Super disappointed in the Canadian side. Where are the Yoga Party Pants? FTBW? Sigh. Wallet is happy.
Aargh stupidest upload ever! And another dumb striped CRB was uploaded on US side. WTF Lulu, are you trying to drive us mad?!? You wonder why they are not selling well? Take a look at the patterns that are currently available online. I couldn't imagine a more boring array of "colors". Hello Menthol, Hello Atomic Red, Hello Dark Wren, Hello Black Cherry where are you?? Make some CRBs in these colors to go with everything that's out now, they would FLY off the shelves.
I ordered the Tech Mesh tights. Looking forward to wearing those out on the town. I also bought that weird new tank as I love loose tanks with built in bras for running. The new FTB Bra in the pebble color also made it in my shopping cart.
I've been waiting for the modern racerback to show up in the US in dark menthol after it showed up in AUS back at the beginning of December. Do you think we'll be getting this?
I was hoping for the Yoga Party Pants, too. I am surprised the FTBW was not uploaded since it's in a ton of store photos. Since they are in US stores already I'd keep an eye on the website for a stealth upload of the bra.
@mockginger - I hope we get those. It seems the supply chain is all messed up.
I was watching CBS Evening News the other day and there is a contract dispute at the ports in LA and Long Beach. They mentioned Lululemon being one of the many companies that are affected.
So I think a lot of Lululemon goods are stuck sitting in their shipping containers at the two ports.

Nothing for me.. Very boring stuff. Tried forcing myself to get either the blue camo or the chevron pattern, but I just can't do it. And, of course, in typical Lulu fashion they bombard us with the prints so we get sick of seeing it. Everyone wanted the Camo stuff LAST YEAR and you dropped the ball.
Ehhh, I guess I'm a grumpy old lady today with first world problems..
@ anon 5:17 pm - they mentioned the port issue in their last quarterly conference call.
Didn't buy anything and find nothing appealing other than the appearance of more Alberta Lake and the Jet Set Blue colour. However, not into any of the actual items.
Between the lines LS or whatever it's called - ick. More animal/snakeskin print and the shirt just reads old to me. Plus I don't care how popular the trend is with seams down the shirts - it's ugly and I'm never going to buy it. Also, metallic square on a t-shirt - so creatively boring.
I also can't stand the Studio Racerback.
Glad I'm not interested. Very, very selective year for me on what I bought. Some at full price (items that were either hot or were going at full price gradually, like the karma collected pant) and some I simply waited for markdown.
Thinking of exchanging my Inkwell/Lotus Camo Inspire pants for the Pebble Print Inspire tights. Any thoughts as to which one you think looks better? Thanks in advance :)
I agree that they and their product drops have been affected by these port issues..even the latest Yogi Crew Sweater which was spotted in limited supply in some stores is now being uploaded and my local store got them yesterday. Also the embrace hoodie *Lucious almost no store got them in the giant herringbone after they were uploaded..I wouldn't be surprised to see more of these unless they go right to WMTM
Has anyone seen the vintage pink FTBW bra in Canadian stores yet?
I just bought Cozy Car Coat in Philly area on sale for $69. I bought jacket for business, it is great for making calls getting in and out of car. I like pockets and style of jacket. I did size down to an eight, usually size ten.
I will add my "boo-urns" to the Canadian upload! I did snag the Oil Slick Lotus Camo Studio (in the Size 12).
This only means the sneak upload later this week will be totally awesome and all will be forgiven!
disappointing to say the least. wallet super happy!
Love the way those stirrup WUs look but I have to have my WUPs hemmed abouttttt 9" to fit my shortness so those are outta the question. Got the clip in bra in black because I missed out first time around. Love the higher neckline and criss crossed straps.
Mixed bag of many different things tonite, including odd looking t shirts,etc. Happy it is not all great as this addiction is rather costly to maintain. :) Happy to see standard items such as skinny wills in dark wren and nice to see the return of Alberta Lake even if the sweater has weird flaps at the side. Colours look much better than last year this time. OT- I had been regularly checking"outerwear" x weeks to possibly find an Alberta Lake Lady 1x a day coat in size 4 or 6- I surprisingly found one in size 4 last week and received it yesterday- gorgeous colour,warm, flattering, and will be great with the Right as Rain Coat...love it :)
Blah - unattractive upload. Yet another striped CRB - this time I'd look like a peppermint wearing that pattern. I did order the inkwell Power Y tank - a nice, solid basic. The Yin to You sweater is a colossal waste of fabric and will be unwearable to most. Unfortunately, all these dud designs probably drives the prices of all the products up to support the items which don't sell.
I called and they are in stores!
got the manifesto print crops - I didn't see them under 'whats new' on canadian site - but I saw them here and went to look and sure enough they were mixed in with crops. Also ordered the menthol tank - but was waiting for raspberry FTBW bra as well as the crops in Alberta Lake pebble print. Canada got the inspires but I don't like the black accents nor do I need all of the zippers, etc.
I want to order the menthol SRB but since I don't live near a store I don't know if I should order the same size as my CRB or I should size up. I would prefer to have a menthol CRB but I doubt lululemon will make one...Menthol is such a pretty color...I should have order the heathered menthol CRB 3 or 4 years ago... Luluaddict, I read that you founded the Camo oil slick SRB was snugger when you tried it in store is that right ? Did you buy the same size as your CRB or you size up ? Also, menthol is a lighter color than Camo oil slick so I'm afraid that if I take the same size as my cool racerback it will show lumps or bumps. I've never size up in the CRB. Thanks for your advice!
@ anon 7:03 pm - I initially thought the SRB ran smaller but the dimensions are the same as the CRB. I have pics here: http://www.luluaddict.com/2015/01/studio-racerback-vs-cool-racerback-oil.html
anybody have a comparison between the fabric of the oil slick camo and the parallel stripe speed tights? i got the parallel stripes and still have tags on but i suspect the camo are going to be less breathable/more polyester. (can't return the parallel stripes but figure someone would want to buy them if i want to get the oil slick instead.)
also, any thoughts on the Turn It Up long sleeve? I always like the slightly loose tops in that fabric and seem to remember missing this one sometime in the past.
TIA!
Tech mesh is still in stock?! I'm suprised
The Alberta S/L swiftly tech is not uploaded again?? I want that : (
Ordered the high times mesh pants. They look really cool to me and I missed them the first (few) times around. Who knows if I'll like them on but I figured I'd give them a try! Though I am hoping my store gets them so I can buy them again with my R&D discount and return the ones I just ordered My store is small and doesn't get all the cool stuff so it bums me out that I can't use the discount online.
Agree with anon 6:18PM - the Cozy Car Coat is a definite size down (generous cut).
Also LLA - curious about your new scheme of ordering from the Canadian website and having friend forward to you. What do you do about items you want to return? I am wondering as I've considered doing the same thing in reverse (order from the US website and have friend or business colleague ship it to me in Canada - although with the current exchange rate, less likely to pull the trigger on this option unless it's an item I really covet).
anon @7.03 feel free to size up if you have bigger boobs if you have small boobs and you size up it will gape under your arms. So I took the same size as my CRB and yes it does show those lumps and bumps more, not as forgiving as the CRB.
I ordered the Tech Mesh HTP. They seem a bit impractical but I tried them on the store awhile back (they ran TTS for me) and they were very flattering. Regretted not buying them so I was happy to see them tonight! I'm thinking I'll use them more for going out than working out...
Once again....B-O-R-I-N-G.
Blah, I wanted the black clip in bra. They're gone now.
OT - Has anyone tried the In A Flash Bra II? From the pics, it looks like there might be a little more coverage than the All Sport and On Your Way bras, which would be good for me as a 32DD. Is it just wishful thinking or do you really get a little more coverage with that bra? Thanks!
I ordered 2 SRBs to try, reluctantly
Everything just seemed a little off again to me. I liked the idea of the clip-in LS, but not with a zipper down the front, and not with 3/4 sleeves. I would have LOVED the Yin to You sweater, except for those truly bizarre, idiotic cutouts. I like the looks of the Just Breathe LS, but not in those boring non-colors. I loved the look of the Clip-in Long Line Bra, but why no 12s? I'll never be able to cram my chest into a 10. No matter how many people tell me seams down the front are trendy, I don't care, I think they look stupid. And on and on and on. So, nothing for me. I'm at a point now with LLL shopping that unless it's exactly what I want, I don't get it - I don't compromise any more, and I don't talk myself into pieces. We'll see.
Agreed about the CRBs. There are so many beautiful colors elsewhere in their clothing right now, but nothing is put in a CRB. I haven't bought anything in months, but I'd pay a pretty penny for some solid, bright CRBs. What's with the hideous stripes? Yuck.
I know they weren't a new upload, but I did order the Hop To It crop, though I'm prepared to return if the reviews ring true and they don't stay up...
I know this is silly but I am still waiting for the stained glass love white pow pink light/menthol FTB that was upload to Canada last month. I wonder where they are. And yes, why no CRB in methanol ? Sigh. I ordered the SRB reluctantly too.
You can return/exchange it at your store.
any word on if there will be a dark wren studio pant?
I didn't get anything. The speed tights with the dots are pretty cool if those where on the US side I would get them. The clip in bra is on my list as well as the hot hot shorts, but I am setting some workout goals before buying anything.

Hi LLA,
I seem to remember you ordered the fatigue LS Swiftly. Were you happy with it? I tend to prefer the thicker, softer versions. Thanks!
hehe methanol....that'd be a funny color name :)
I'm waiting for that FTB too! What a long agonizing wait it's starting to be :(
Nothing interested me this week, so I finally caved & bid on (& won!) a gorg Spirit pullover w/the beautiful reflective bird details on the back & sleeves on an online auction site.
Happy, happy!
BTW got the solid white FTBW at my local store, they also had solid black again.
@ ann 9:54 am- I don't know but I think the fact there is a Dark Wren DSJ is a good sign there might be.
@Chezhire71 - nice. I love the Spirit. To me, that is quintessential lululemon - functional, flattering, and beautiful.
@ LuluAddict - thanks, it came in the mail today. It's in what appears to be pristine condition - no cracking of the reflective birds, etc., no pilling or holes. EEK! I haven't worn it, so will wait until then to comment re: functionality for me on a run, but I'm beyond thrilled with it for the $48+ I paid (a serious STEAL!)
Think I'll have a glass of red wine now to celebrate ;)
@LuluAddict, I'm sending you pics of my recent purchase. I can't find any pics of this exact pullover on your site. It's different from the Spirit pullovers you do have from 2008. I believe it was from earlier in 2008, or possibly in 2007? Anyway, I'll send them over in a few minutes so you can take a look-see. I'm thrilled, as a friend has one of these and I've always wished I'd bought one years ago.
