Boom Juice Strap It Like It's Hot Bra, 4 Color Space Dye Minty Pink Yogi Racerback, and On the Go Jogger Pant. I really like the bra and tank in the photo.

Interval LS. The 5 Mile LS is so much cuter than this style.

I immediately sent a picture of that interval mess to my best friend with the caption "ewww". Hat are you thinking LLL? It's so short and what purpose does that ruching even serve? The pleat to street hoodie looks so cute. I'm interested to see if it's a little loose and meant to be more like a cape-ish jacket? Of course the model in these pics appears to be wearing it in her "as tight as possible" size.
I looked at the Minty Pink Space Dye Yogi Racerback in the store today. It is super soft...softer than the solid colors, which is usually the case with yarn dyes. Wasn't loving the pocket but loved the fabric. It says Pima Cotton blend, but I didn't look at the fabric content label to see what it was blinded with.
Someone mentioned it was too thin and cheap. Just wanted to clarify that thin does not always equate to cheap. Pima cotton is a higher quality cotton. The yarns are finer, softer, longer and stronger than most other cotton yarns, so yes, it will feel thinner/lighter, but it will last longer than regular cotton. Personally, if I buy cotton, which is rare these days, I want only Pima cotton.
If one doesn't like thin fabric for whatever reason, than clearly this tank is not for you.
I got the sold out on line Pace Rivals in the space dye twist dark slate fatigue green. I looked at several pairs. The pair I bought was the only pair with the stripes lined up on both legs in front, both legs in back and both legs front to back. The others were all off. For the cost, all should have the stripes matched perfectly.
Ugh, yeah I agree on the Interval tee Jenny. Even the girl in the photo looks like she agrees and is trying to pull on it to make it look less awkward. Has anyone tried the Take You There Wrap? Thoughts? I just got the LS swiftly in heathered dashing purple and I have to say I think the color is beautiful though I do notice tiny yellowish threads on the inner arms. Anyone else? But it's definitely a keeper. I can't decide if I like the white/mint/pink space dye on the Yogi.
That interval LS looks way too high maintenance (it looks like it would roll up!) i'd probably be tugging at it all class long
@luluaddict, how does the strap it like it's hot bra compare to the all sport bra in terms of support and comfort? Thanks!
I bought the multi yogi...its 92% Pima cotton and 8% lycra. Very soft.
Anon 11:51, did you try on the pima tank? If i wear a 6 in CRB, should i get a 6 in that one?
Anon Jan. 26 11:51pm, I agree that thin doesn't always equate to cheap but am finding a lot of LLL fabrics to be too thin and not worth the price. As for pima cotton, I love it. I have a few tops in this fabric and it feels like butter against the skin. My problem with the Yogi Racerback was the back hem curled up like a ducks bill and I couldn't get it too lay flat so I didn't buy it. Otherwise I found this racerback very nice and it didn't feel cheap. I also liked the coverage it gives in front to the armpit!!! The cut on most tanks in front I find cuts in too much and exposes the skin pushed out from the sports bra, if you know what I mean?
I guess I'm the odd one out but I don't mind the Interval LS, especially in the naval blue color. I have plenty of longer tops and don't have a problem with something shorter in some situations. With all due respect to the model in this post, I think she's wearing it a size too small. It looks better in the stock photos online. That said, I will wait until it hits WMTM because it is not worth the current price by a long shot.
Does anyone know if Yogi Racerback fits TTS/same size as CRB? I love the new Pink Space Dye color!
@ anon 8:12 am - I have a comparison here: http://www.luluaddict.com/2015/12/bra-comparison-strap-it-like-its-hot.html
The Strap It Like It's Hot fits a bit snugger and has more support. I think the All Sport is probably a little more comfortable when it comes to All Day wear but I've worn the Strap It Like It's Hot for several hours after a workout without any issues. I can run in the Strap It Like It's Hot bra but I bounce too much in the All Sport.
@luluaddict How have your 5 Mile LS held up? I broke down and got one, but I'm a little concerned about how thin the material feels.
I purchased the yogi racerback in the same size as my usual crb, for me it fit tts.

- I didn't try the Minty Pink Space Dye Yogi Racerback on when I was in the store b/c of the pocket. But now that 8:51am has identified the fabric blend, I may have to go back and try it.
anon@9:26am
- I'll have to take a closer look when I'm in the store next (gee, that would probably be tmrw). That would bug me. I have a few Water Bound Singlets in the swim fabric that do that. Last year's L/S Light Speed tops did this too. I sold both of mine, but now I'm loving the new Cool Breeze. May have to get it. The roll is more typical of seamless construction, so I tend to expect that. But should not be the case with the Yogi Racerback.
A lot of the long sleeves are pretty, but imo dreadfully over priced. I'll pay $90 for pants but not a t shirt.. But will probably pick up a couple on WMTM tho...,I'm glad to hear the arms of the 5 mile are not as tight and clingy as swiftlys.
@stylistadiva1 - so far so good. I have a number of 105F tanks that are made of the same material and they look fine. I wash seriously light luon items in a mesh lingerie bag just to keep wear and tear to a minimum. I put all the more delicate fabrics in lingerie bags - swiftly, seriously light luon, and anything with mesh.
When do they post WMTM on Thursdays?
Can anyone get the HighRise Blooming pixie in size 6 for me please oh please?????
I tried on the Interval LS in store today. In my TTS 6 it was quite snug. Definitely a size up item unless you like your stuff tight. Also the neckline is cut super low. I was showing cleavage and I am only a B cup. Beware of this one well endowed ladies. Cute top but will wait for it to land in WMTM.
Has anyone seen the High Times Blooming pixie in the U.S.? If so where?
I was in store today and asked about when they are getting bottoms in the blooming pixie print and the manager said she thinks they are done with that print and moving on to spring next week!!! Can that be??? Would NA get the shaft like that??
On another note I was super disappointed to learn that the cadet scuba 3 is one of the stiff ones. Ugh! The whole appeal of the scuba 3 is that super soft fabric. If I wanted a stiffer scuba I would much prefer it in the cut of scuba 2.
I tried on the pleat hoodie and found I needed my larger size due to super tight arms. I am a 2 in scuba 3s and a 4 in scuba 2s and defines and much preferred fit of size 4 in pleat hoodie. (And I am only 5'1). If that helps anyone decide. I really liked it tho and will be ordering one.
I left with the herringbone speed crops and want to ask u ladies what you think of that material. I love the look but am really concerned I will run hot in them and therefore won't reach for them. I want them for indoor cardio and running. Can anyone comment if they find them hotter than other luxtreme? Thanks in advance!!
@ anon 8:16 pm - yes, I think we are getting the shaft on the pixie bottoms, unfortunately.
I agree on the stiff Scuba IIIs. I have one from the first batch and it's cozy soft. I dislike all the news ones now.
I found the arms tight on it, too, when I tried on the black one. I had my store order the gray one since they only got the black and bordeaux but we'll see how it fits when it gets here.
I have herringbone Inspires and Speed Tights and recently bought the herringbone Speed crops for the pockets. I think they'll be ok for indoor cycle/running in cooler months but they'll be too hot for the hottest summer months. I tend to go to my thinnest luxtreme with the most mesh for running in the summer, though I have worn full on luxtreme crops for summer races before.
This is anon 1.28 8:16....thanks LLA. I am really disappointed that we may not receive more in blooming pixie. That was the first lulu print in a while that I was really looking forward to. Here's hoping we see something great for Spring I guess.
Just wanted to add that I really appreciate your blog. It is always so thorough and detailed....and I like the insights you add/provide. Thanks for all of the work you put into it.
@ anon 6L32 am - thank you. I read in some of my facebook groups that blooming pixie wunder unders have been spotted at partner studio stores. You can find a list of them here: http://info.lululemon.com/about/stratsales/dealers. I know in my area they're at Core Power Yoga and Equinox gym stores.
Another option might be to keep an eye on the outlet store facebook pages to see if they get blooming pixie items. I swear I saw stuff in the outlet store I visited that never made it to regular stores. You can then call them and the outlets will mail items to you for free.
I also might be wrong and maybe they were just clearancing out Blooming Pixie bras since they're getting a lot of new colors of bras and we might still get the bottoms in the print. I was hoping the blue blooming pixie Strap It Like It's Hot tank was going to come to North America. I've been waiting for that to arrive.
