How in the world Tuesday is almost over is beyond me. This last weekend was pretty packed with plans, I took a last minute work trip to NYC yesterday. You know what I didn’t do while in New York? I did not step foot into a lululemon, Sweaty Betty or Aether Apparel while I was there. WHO AM I?
I did, however, go to Eataly for the first time and their sit down restaurant had a special where I got a fresh mozzarella ball and Cacio e Pepe for $18. Two courses in Downtown New York City for under $20? Yes please. So, before I launch into my weekly spiel about cute new workout outfits, enjoy the food porn.
Okay, I’m done with the metropolitan and culinary photo spam. For now. Would you rather I start talking about running instead? I ran 5 miles today. TED Radio Hour NPR is a long slow distance time-passing champ. Shutting up now.
5 Faves & a Dud: 3/19/19 Edition
Fast & Free 7/8 Tight II Non-Reflective Nulux ($128) in vintage plum
They remind me of black raspberry ice cream, and, well… I like black raspberry ice cream and Fast & Frees. So, yeah. Hi there, tights. I like you.
Swiftly Breeze Tank ($58) in bali breeze
Ever since the original CRB died, I’ve been branching out into other tank territory, and I’m excited to give the Swiftly Breeze a try. I know I should brighten the place up with bali breeze, but knowing me I’ll probably end up doing something predictable like ordering black.
State Seeker Jacket ($138)
I know, I had my flattering zippy jacket fun in the form of the Stopover Jacket back in the fall, but I’m going gaga over the State Seeker. I appreciate the simplicity (aka no gaudy zippers, excessive pockets or drawstrings), and the band around the waist lends a nice slimming effect. It’s rulu, meaning it’s also soft AF. You may need this.
Aerial Silk Tank ($58)
IMHO, this tank is absolute perfection. It looks to be made from a material that’s a silky version of a Swiftly, the high nick provides good coverage without choking you out, and the length keeps you covered. Right now it’s only available in pink bliss and a gray they call black/white… if solid black drops next week it’s 100% mine, no questions asked.
Keep Cruising Jumpsuit ($128) in black
You know what?! I LIKE ROMPERS, OKAY. Yeah, the totally disrobing when you have to pee is a bit strange, but what I like most about this one is that the ribbed midsection is wider than others, so it definitely offers a slimming effect. I know I’m probably going to split the room with this pick but IDGAF, I’m here for this one.
The Dud
Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve (Breeze) & Swiftly Tech Short Sleeve Crew in golden lime
I like gold. I really like limes. I really REALLY like Swiftly Techs. I do NOT like golden lime. Do you? No, you don’t.
From the Soap Box
- Got ourselves some Missy Elliott vibes with the All Roads 1/2 Zip 🙂 It kind of goes with the Hotty Hot Short Special Edition 2.5″ and its omegas all over.
- The jet stream blue Breeze By Long Sleeve Lululemon ($78) is a mirage and it makes me mad. From far away, GORGEOUS. Up close, it’s got a big LULULEMON in yo’ face.
- Honorable Mention in the ‘Adorable Black Zip Up’ category goes to the Dash Into Dusk Jacket. Docking a point for the fact lululemon is printed out on the back. It’s reflective, though.
- If Gymshark has been catching your eyeballs on the ‘gram lately but you just can’t bring yourself to cheat on lululemon, the Aerial Silk Tight (shown above) is bringing some peach-showcasing seamless action to the party.
- The poppy coral Sculpt Tank II is going to look great with the tan we are all going to get once March stops being cold.
- Speaking of colors, AMAZONITE… look at youuuu in your Swiftly Tech Short Sleeve Glory, even though I’m not sure this photo does the color justice. (Can we talk about the 6th grade gym class vibes in the styling, though?)
- If you’re one of the few who buys Speed Up Shorts, bali breeze is back in town and waiting for you.
- Still a few camo pieces trickling in, like the Everywhere Belt Bag in Woodland Camo Gator Green Dark Olive/Black. Thank heavens for copy paste or else I’d have to tab back & forth 3x to get that color name right.
It feels like I’ve got a lot to say tonight, but I’m not necessarily racing to my shopping cart. Lulu’s banner item of the week is the Always Effortless Jacket {Review}, which is a little strange seeing that it was initially uploaded two weeks ago. I’ve got one and have been loving it so far, so maybe the fact that I was SPENDY AF in the last couple of weeks have been holding the trigger finger back tonight.
Anyone else spot anything they love in this week’s batch?
