Lululemon Limited Edition Scubas - Page 3

post #51 of 272
hmm....I guess I missed out on a great hoodie. I wanted the estate grid and I was too late for that one too. Damn.

Maybe I might be able to get one in kingston on Friday IF they still have them when I go up for my grad that day.

I haven't been to the gym in weeks. It must be sad that I actually miss the soreness
And yah, life can be such a drag sometimes.

You have no missed the boat at all! What size are you? Just call a few Lulu's and do a phone order. If I can't get to the physical store I'll order a few over the phone and they're guaranteed to be held for me until I pick it up.

Actually, I'm sore from the gym and hauling the damn Lulu back uptown on the TTC. I bought 5, which wasn't as heavy as my laptop and all my gym stuff that I hauled from downtown to uptown during the rush hour on the TTC. Boy, that was exhausting.

Seriously? I asked a few lulu stores before, but they told me that couldn't be done. That's awesome if I could do that. My terrible work schedule kills most of my days, so phone orders are probably the best thing.

Thanks for that info. I'm going to be calling around some lulu stores today to see what they have in stock. I think I like the way the size 4 fits on me in the remix

OK...I need help justifying a purchase. I really want the yellow plaid remix hoodie. However, I have 12 other Lulu hoodies including the paddington plaid in black/grey. If it helps, I don't really have a yellow hoodie and I don't yet have a Remix hoodie. Am I insane if I buy the yellow plaid hoodie.

Also worth considering, I can only wear hoodies on weekends b/c I wear business suits to work every day. Money is not really an issue...although saving money is always good.

Is another hoodie too much? Does anyone else have an insane number of lulu hoodies?

I might be a terrible enabler, but I would say to get the new paddington hoodie. I really think it's one of the nicer patterns I have seen in awhile. It's very classy looking. Even if you have 12, I think you could still get tons of mileage out of this new style.

I think I've got a problem buying too many hoodies also. But that's more b/c I'm generally in between sizes, so I tend to buy some colours in one size, and some colours in a different one.
The remix solves that issue for me
But, if you aren't getting any use out of the scubas you already have, then perhaps paying the *increased* price of the new le scubas may not be worth it.

Boo! The new paddington is sold out in Edmonton and Calgary.

Man how come I'm inbetween sizes in the scubas and the remixes??? this sucks! I have a scuba I'm actually thinking about getting rid of, it's just too short!
post #58 of 272
I'm so bad. I bought it. Even though I have to wear business suits to work, I always wear hoodies and jeans for casual, so I do get wear out of the hoodies. I don't wear anything else in the winter. I really like the new yellow plaid. Thanks for the help justifying sedatedrainbow. I love them! Only problem is that Lulu will come out with another great one and I will need that one too!

Oh, that's weird. Whenever I do phone orders they charge my credit card right away. Most stores ask me to come in within 2 days or they'll refund the item. However, they don't really enforce that. I had bought two items at the Bloor location and they held it for me for probably over 2 weeks before they called me to remind me that I still have purchased merchandise in the store.

But anyway, did you have luck calling the stores today?

I must be another terrible enabler as well. I agree with sedatedrainbow that the new Paddington is one of the nicer patterns that has come out in awhile. I find it nice and casual but classy at the same time. I honestly think if you skip out on this pattern you'll be really regretting it, so get out there and buy it while you can! As far as I know, it seems like a lot of the Toronto stores sold out in 2-3 days (at least for smaller sizes). As for having too many hoodies. Well, you already said money isn't an issue. Plus, the resell value is pretty good on eBay for both printed and regular Scubas. I say go for it!

I agree 2venus -I would totally regret it had I not bought the yellow plaid. I bought it today at lunch at the Eaton Center store. It is definately one of the nicer patterns that they've had, and it is almost sold out. I'm a size 10, so they had 1 left in the store, and I got it. I think they has 1 size 6 too. Thanks everyone for making me feel a little less obsessed about Lulu hoodies. It's good to see that other people are as bad as I am when it comes to hoodies

I'm kinda annoyed. I got my size 2 but the print is slightly off centre. I called all Toronto stores for another size 2 with no luck, most stores only got 1 or maybe 2.
post #62 of 272
Thanks alot 2venus for the info about phone orders. I def called Yorkdale, and everything went really smoothly with buying the le hoodie. I guess I had a really crabby person the first time I asked about phone orders or something.

I'm really sorry to hear that your size 2 print was off center. That's terrible! Is there anywhere in Ontario that might have them so they can ship it to you? I mean, I know they don't do tranfers, but in this case their merch is defective and they should be able to replace it for you. Is the misprint really noticeable though?

Jeangirl: No prob about offering advice/opinions. I know that for myself, I need a little bit of a push to justify purchases sometimes (esp if the merch isn't on sale or if it's not a necessity...both are the case for me with the lulu hoodies ). So, I'm always more than happy to help others out where I can.....but it seems like many ppl in this forum have that attitude as well, which I love! I hope you get to enjoy your hoodie, as I'm sure you will.

trish: What about the remix is it that doesn't fit you right? I know a lot of ppl have had issues with the regular scubas...but I wonder how some find the remix fit. I'm okay with the remix length, but since I'm petite, it can be a bit too long for me.

Gapaholic: sorry to hear that the new paddington was sold out everywhere. I would be willing to help you out by picking it up and shipping it to you if you phone ordered the hoodie, but I think they require that you have the credit card/id with you when you pick up the merch. I feel bad when ppl aren't able to get what they really want. But, if it's any consolation, it seems like lulu isn't that creative with their pattern scheme, so I'm sure you'll find another very similiar paddington style will come out shortly.

I'm still inbetween sizes. The 6 is a little snugger than I would like (but not deathly short like an 8 in a scuba) but the 8 is a little loose. I can do both sizes, but I really perfer them to fit a little bit looser. I'd like to get a black or another dark colored remix one in a 6! Are there remix ones in solid colors as well?

Thanks so much for the offer but I think it's just best if I pass right now...I'm supposed to be on a ban anyway I'm sure I'll like the next LE that comes out too.

Hey sedatedrainbow, the mis-alignment isn't that noticeable. In fact I took a look at my other Yellow Paddingtons and the majority of them are off. Oh well, it's just a small thing that bugs me. I would have preferred if the print was perfectly centered.

Anyway though, there's another new print! Not sure how I'm feeling about it. It might grow on me... It also does match my green llama.

It seems like Lulu is running out of print ideas and revising old versions. The Houndstooth came out in blue, the Floral came out in a jumbo magnified print, the Paddington came out in yellow, and now the Grid is in Cypress Green. Or maybe they're revising old versions because they've sold so well. If it ain't broke, why fix?

^ crazy. I want a pink limited edition hoodie!!! Oh, and I'm getting a little annoyed with all the lulu print knockoffs (like TNA's hoodies).
post #67 of 272
^ knockoffs? TNA print hoodies have been around much longer than the Lululemon ones.

So not a fan of that green.

Hummm...Like right after the lululemon plaid/houndstooth/floral tna had a whole bunch of the same prints (in different colors though). Those things exploded EVERYWHERE.

Okay, sure.

Yeah, Aritzia joined the whole prints thing by coming out with their version of the houndstooth and floral.

There's a newish Scuba out. It's called Nirvana and it's the same shape as the Scuba, but the fabric is lighter and softer. Check on eBay for it. It's cute, but nothing too special.

Are you guys getting tired of me yet?
post #71 of 272
haha no!!! but every time I look at my stack of unopened lulu yoga cards (sitting in my car) I feel guilty that you didn't get a pack. If you REALLY want them I'll ship them out!! hahaha.

Well, I can Paypal you the cost of shipping...

BTW, new hoodie out again. I'm really, really loving this print. It's grey with little white birds, although another auction describes it as floral. I really don't know.

^ that is SEXY! it looks like paisley to me???
post #74 of 272
wow, that's a really awesome print there.
why oh why must I be broke.
I am seriously digging the cute birds etc.
post #75 of 272
2venus I didn't even see that you wanted the cards! I can't imagine the shipping would be more than $2...which honestly I wouldn't bother to ask for. Let me see if I can find the sealed pack, and send me your address and I'll ship them out.
