I’m still mad at the hotel internet for that “gimme $25” stunt it tried to pull on me last night. Well let’s try this again and maybe everything will behave b/c it’s Tuesday today. *pauses to check calendar*
As I was saying before being so rudely cut off… not only is lululemon putting a ton out there for us to load up on during Cyber Week, Athleta has got some serious winners in the mix too. A rainbow, swirly, reflective mix.
More Faves & No Dud: 11/26/19 Edition
Favorite #1: Athleta Swirl Reflective 7/8 Tight ($198) in Black
Kudos to whoever came up with this “I gotta have it” gem of an idea. We already know that the phrase rainbow reflective lights a fire under a lot of us. I’ve already had my next favorite on the list for a few weeks now… but with this new development I can’t choose!
Favorite #2: Athleta Rainier Reflective Leopard in Plush SuperSonic ($108) in Black
Already featured in my Reflective Run Favorites a few weeks ago, but they weren’t shipping yet – now they are. The Rainier is my favorite tight added to the run gear collection this season thus far.
Favorite #3: Athleta Headlands Hybrid Moto Tight ($128) in Black
Athleta is killing it on the mashups right now. First, the unicorn swirl got a dark and shiny makeover, and now my ultimate favorite hiking tights (the Headlands Hybrid Cargo) got the moto makeover.
My Athleta shopping cart is so deep right now. SO deep. Like, Mariana Trench deep. Current mood: Mona Lisa Saperstein. #moneyplease
Favorite #4: Lululemon Scuba Hoodie *Light Cotton Fleece ($118) in Incognito Camo Multi Gator Green
Excuse me camo cozy situation, I’d like this in my wardrobe, thanks a bunch xoxo bye
Favorite #5: Athleta Furry Balaclava Hoodie ($98) in Hibiscus Red
Shame on me for sleeping on this one for the last month or so. I’ve been denial that ski season is pretty much here, but I can’t ignore my IG feed and Ikon Pass notifications any longer.
I was able to try this LS on in store and while the neck hole is a bit tight if you’re going for casual wear, EVERY skier/snowboarder reading this ought to consider adding this hoodie into your rotation.
Note in the photos how EFFED UP my hair is from fighting to get it over my noggin. Note to self: wear a french braid if when/you buy and ride in this LS.
Favorite #6: Swiftly Speed Long Sleeve *Shine ($84) in black/silver
New Year’s Eve, but make it fitness. Also available in white/silver and a pretty lavender/silver – gonna stick with black/silver over here because it matches EVERYTHING I already own for the winter months.
I Left Off With Luminosity
With the internet being so terribly RUDE as I tried to get ahead on my posting for the week, I never got to run through the gamut of lululemon‘s luminosity foil releases from last night.
- Wunder Under Crop High-Rise 23″ Foil – copper or black
- Energy Bra *Long Line Foil – hello beautiful
- Emerald Long Sleeve *Foil – loose tops hide food babies
- Muscle Love Crop Tank *Foil
- Tracker Short V – probably my favorite of the foily bunch
- Speed Up Short 2.5″ & Speed Up Short *Long 4″
Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
- Winter Warrior Bomber – Shown in dark red, love the tactical style around the collar. Add to the long list of jackets I don’t need.
- Radiant Jacket II – Shown here in garnet. If the In Stride isn’t quite stiff enough for you. NVM the fact that the website calls it a hoodie even though it doesn’t have a hood. Whomp.
- Define Dress – For $168 I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this one. A few of you have taken notice, but the casual silver zip throws me a little for a loop. Price point seems a bit high for what you get, IMHO. It doesn’t have pockets.
- The Black/Deep Coal/Clean Green/Azure Swiftly Speed Short Sleeve reminds me an AWFUL LOT of the similar Swiftly Tech LS I picked up at SeaWheeze a couple years ago.
- Wunder Under High-Rise Crop *Full-On Luon – a style that often flies under the radar, but Arctic Plum deserves a shoutout
- Best part of the Warm Stabilizer 1/2 Zip Hoodie – when unzipped, there’s a fabric panel to keep your neck protected from the breeze. Win.
- The Define isn’t the only dress new this week:
- It’s Rulu Mock Neck Dress (slim fit midi length)
- Kitsilano Turtleneck Rib Dress (straight fit longer length)
- I need to be talked off the ledge on the Breeze By Long Sleeve *Fusion. The black & crew necks are a telltale Katy Abbott special, and the angled pattern of holes on the back has me thinking I need it. I don’t need it. Showing pink so you can see details.
- On the Fly pants I’m not here for. On the Fly Jogger *Woven? Ok fine, I’m on board with the yoggers.
- Incognito camo multi grey, now Pace Rival Crops. Is there anything not available in black camo at this point in time? Not complaining. Pure curiosity.

I NEED ATHLETA TO COME TO CANADA!!! Or not cause I manage to do enough damage when I’m in the states.
Haha they are definitely getting stronger over time. I actually spent more at Athleta this month than I did at lulu, which may be a first
I have the Athleta leopard Super Sonics and can confirm they are indeed amazing
Ordered a pair yesterday and cannot wait the 8 million years it takes Athleta to ship for them to arrive!
I’ve got them too!! My only complaint with those amazing leopard pants is the print is so noticeable, I can’t wear them everyday without everyone knowing!! I love them so much! Like the Toasty Tech’s, but so much better with fit and seam placement. I need another pair for sure.
I’ve been eyeing those rainbow swirl reflective beauties. So lovely!! Definitely on my wish list, along with the lavender ls swiftly *shine.
I ordered the Rainier reflective leopard this past weekend with the 20% off coupon. I blame you. I was SO EXCITED about the Headlands Hybrid moto, but they lost me with the ankle zipper. As a short lady, I spend 90% of my life with an ankle tucked under a leg, and I can’t with a zipper digging into my leg all day.
Oh no I did NOT read the part about ankle zipper and I ordered them today. Fingers crossed!
Also chiming in to say the leopard Rainier pants are amazing. Wearing them right now. On holiday in Norway… Will probably need to pick up the rainbow swirl ones as well. I too have a thing for buying the shiny run gear, and I have to say I prefer the athleta leopard ones compared to my Lululemon reflective polkadots and seawheeze rainbow!!
I ordered up the leopard ones today! I absolutely love the Rainiers and wear them every chance I get
Omg that mock neck dress looks identical to the wool athleta one I bought last year!!!
Another one for your radar should be the Whittier Peak Half Zip. It doesn’t look amazing online but WOW is it great in-person. I’m so glad I bought it. The fabric is fantastic, there’s a two way zipper, and two perfect sized zippered pockets. I know you love that bold red shade and it looks great irl.
Another yes to the reflective leopard – love that this year they added the fleece part – the 7/8 are the perfect long pant for my short legs
I caved and ordered the leopard this morning!
Anyone have sizing recommendation for Athleta vs Lululemon? I am a TTS 4 in lululemon, would that be a S or XS in Athleta?
