I had a terrible no good very bad day today thanks to back to back to back appointments all across the lower mainland. Seriously, Coquitlam to New West, back to Coquitlam, to Downtown Vancouver, to Burnaby, to Coquitlam. It was awful. And to top it all off, one if the last chores I wanted to get done today was go back to Lululemon to get a security tag taken off which was forgotten yesterday and I didn't get to do that. Oh well. I came home to a good mail day and that made it almost worth it. First up was the parcel I got from a friend in Australia (thank you Ms. N!!!!), the Mod Moves Crops in Savasana Camouflage. Love them!! I suspect they will eventually make their way here to North American stores but I'm glad that when they do I can sit that frantic upload ordering process out and let everyone else have at'er.
Item number two are the Soot Light Full On Luon Wunder Under Crops. I have mixed feelings about these because I really love them and love the color, and they are opaque with really soft cottony luon. The just feel really nice on. My mixed feelings come from the back view because the color is so light it sort of highlights cellulite. It wasn't so bad here at home, but I had a chance to try them on yesterday in store and with the store lighting it was creating shadows in areas making my cellulite really obvious. Have you read this article by the way? The Dirty Little Secret Of The Female Athlete: Cellulite I wish I could marry my logical acceptance about cellulite with my emotions about cellulite and my feelings of vanity. I'll probably keep these pants, but I will always have cellulite so my only option is to just deal.

Wonderful reader Ms. C sent me a picture of the Camouflage Run Mod Moves Crops that she found at the Robson Street Vancouver store earlier today. They had a few in, but they sold out almost immediately which really doesn't surprise me since Lulu teased us with these two months ago when they were uploaded to the Australian website. For weeks and weeks, many of us waited for them to get uploaded here on Monday nights and every week we've been disappointed. When I heard they were at Robson, I decided to stop in at Coquitlam to check but they told me they never got them in and Robson was the only store to get them today. Another reader checked Metrotown and also learned the same.
The other day, since I had some Paypal money and since it was my birthday I opted to have a friend in Australia (Ms. L who many of us know and appreciate greatly) get me a pair. She found the last pair in my size at her store so I'm glad I got that one and glad that I can sit out the frantic attempts at upload on Monday night. I'm hoping they are uploaded and product dropped to stores on Monday so that all of you guys waiting for them get a crack at getting them.
The new Camouflage Run: Mod Moves Crops (not in North America yet) and Camouflage All Sport Bra
Antidote Scuba appearing in US stores. I LOVE this color, which I think was last out in 2009 in the Run: Spirit Pullover and many other lovely items in the run lineup. I'd love a Cool Racerback in this, both solid and heathered.
I went to my store this afternoon to check out the latest and I was shocked that I loved the Petite Fleur Wunder Unders so much. They are slightly textured like denim luon but without the thickness or fuzzyness. They are very compressive though and smoothing and the print really hides imperfections. I went with size 8 (I buy WU's in both 8's and 10's depending) and the 8 gave slight muffin top, however, I liked the compression. They are completely opaque in a squat, with and without flash, even in my size down. My worry with this print was that they may make my legs look heavier or thicker (sort of like the Platoon Print WU's that were uploaded monday made the model look slightly shorter) but I don't think they are making my legs look bigger than they already are thanks to the movement of the print.
I have a dilemma though because I was planning on using my gift card for the Camo Run: Mod Moves Crops that are upcoming (in Australia right now) and so I have to choose between this pair and those, or I can sell something else to make it a wash. What I like about these is that although they are busy, they are very neutral and go with almost all of my Cool Racerbacks. The Camo however, as much as I love Camo, may be limited with how much I can pair with it. Both are equally useful for me for Crossfit function wise - the Petite Fleur having the potential to pick up more dirt off dirty mats.
