Ready to Rulu Pant. These look like an updated Base Runner pant.
Enroute Bag
Pretty new color in the Swiftly LS. I wish it didn't have a pattern but this one doesn't look that bad.
Rush Hour Jacket
Like Nothing Tights. Can't say I like the price point much. I seriously hate unfinished hems, too.
Thanks to Ms. K. for all her photos.

I really like the pattern on the Swiftly! I don't like the colour though... yuck on the army green colour. I hope this pattern Swiftly Long Sleeve will come in some more beautiful colours.
No to everything else here, super easy pass. That bag is very pain and generic and just blech. The vest is super generic looking and looks like some kind of unisex or men's vest, not at all feminine looking.
Besides the floral lace pattern on the Swiftly and the paisley print on the crops everything looks androgynous and generic. What ever happened to feminine and cute? ...not to mention it's all overpriced.
OMG that All Days Vest is so plain and so expensive. Even the Rush Hour Jacket at $158. is really pushing it for a Fall jacket because it definitely isin't warm enough for our Canadians winters. As for the new Swiftly print it reminds me of my first Swiftly I bought many many years ago where the inside of the logo was solid and a tone on tone floral print everywhere else which is my all time favourite. LLA can you tell me what colours this new print came in?
@ anon 10:37 am - asking my Canadian connection if she saw that swiftly in other colors.
That vest looks like a sack
I was reminiscing when I first starting lulu'ing ( is that a verb?) I loved loved their jackets and bought a ton. Haven't bought one since spring 2015.
I really like that swiftly ! Not a pattern fan perse but the color looks rich and I love olive colors.
I saw the swiftly in the store this morning and the only color they had in it was the green
I like the colour and the pattern on the swiftly, but I swore I'd never buy another after they hiked the prices.
For the first time ever I think I like a pattern on a swiftly, of course hard to judge until I see some try-on photos. I would consider getting it if it came in a nice emperor blue or something, but in that green with the print it looks super snake-y and it's creeping me out.
Have to say I too like that pattern, the colour not my thing but yes to the pattern
I was also gonna say that the swiftly reminds of the swiftlies of old with the floral/paisley patterns and plain Om. Those are some of my favorites still.
And unhemmed pants for $128. Not a fan. I feel like it cheapens the look and it's like they couldn't be bothered to finish it. No thanks.
I tried on the Like Nothing pants. I love the feel of the Nulux, but not at that price point. Nope. And I felt like they were also kind of sheer. The educator said we should be seeing more made with the Nulux (I'm more looking for run). But for me, they need to make the bum thicker so there isn't a sheerness issue. Especially for $128!
So, um, the Like Nothing Tights have zero features -- they got rid of a drawcord, no pockets, etc. -- and they charge more for this? I'd be curious to try a "minimal" pant but if they are so literally charging more for less, I think I'm good.
Some cute stuff but the prices are a total turn off.
The unhemmed pants make my hair stand on end--especially at these prices. Nope. Sheer laziness. Taking my money elsewhere.
I know a few guys who got base runner pants last year. I wonder how these rulu pants are like on a male. I should try.
I tried on the run to rulu and found them incredibly soft and also the right length. I found the base runners just a tad short for me. But I asked the ed and she told me these were replacing the base runners.
I like the black/brave olive swiftly colour. I am not sure I can stomach the price for the ls one, so will not rush to purchase.
I do like the lace print in it (although I otherwise generally have not been a fan of some other prints or stripes). They did something very similar to this print about 4 years ago because I have 2 of those *SE ss swiftlies. One in blue and one in light grey/dark grey. They are two of my very favourite iterations of this top.
Otherwise, I pass on everything else including the rulu pant.
Where is the innovation? Where are the unique little touches (quotes...reflective fabric) that Lulu is known for?
Where are the fun pique long sleeves and half zips?
I miss the rush of fall shopping and fun colors in the past (especially 2010-2012).
This stuff is all boring and drab. Where did the good lulu designers go?
@ anon 11:55 am- I'd love to know where they went, too.
Totally agree anon 11:55 AM, and funny I was just thinking the same thing today regarding the designers.
