Lululemon Flatiron NY - Behind The Design Event

It was definitely way more low key than I expected.  I got there exactly at 8am and didn't see a line, no crowd, nothing!  The store didn't look like it was open.  I actually thought for a minute that maybe I was at the wrong Lululemon location.  I checked my phone just in case I was mistaken and right then a couple walked in so I followed.  (I have this thing where I don't like to be the only customer in a store.)

I went in hopes of finally seeing the Wunder Speed Tights in florence print, but sadly they were not there.  I actually didn't see anything new.  No one checked my event ticket, so anyone could have just walked in.  I am glad I went since they did give 15% off your entire purchase.



It was fairly empty.   I would say maybe a total of 20 to 30 customers trickled in within the hour that I was there.  The educators were super nice and friendly.  I asked them if they were discontinuing the Free To Be Wild Bra since I haven't seen any new patterns or prints come in that style for some time.  I also told them I did try on the Free To Be Zen Bra and wasn't much of a fan of the strap placements.  I was reassured the Free To Be Wild Bra was not being discontinued and would make an appearance sometime soon.  


If anyone is interested they had a huge rack of markdowns of the Swiftly racerbacks, short sleeve and long sleeve in true red.  The prices were much lower than online.  The racerback tank was priced at $34, the short sleeve was $49 I believe and the long sleeve was $59.  They had almost every single size.  This is the Flatiron Store in NYC.  


Food and beverages were available in the back of the store.  They had some really good muffins that were still warm and Blue Print vegetable juices.  I took one of each.  It was my first time drinking a Blue Print and it tasted better than I expected but I don't think I would try it again.  It also has a lot of sugar for that one bottle.  (25 grams!)

Sorry for the craptastic picture!

All in all, it was a worthwhile trip, I ended up repurchasing the Define Jacket in Teeny Tooth and saved $18.  It's actually more than that if you calculate the tax I would have paid if I were to buy it in Atlanta.  (For any clothing item $110 and under is tax free in NYC.)  I also bought the Free To Be Bra in the same color.  I'll be returning the Define Jacket I purchased in Boston.  

Overall, nothing too exciting!  Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!  I'll be heading back to Atlanta tomorrow morning.  I'll be stuck in a minivan with a cat for two days.  Fun!

  1. I saw the Wunder Speeds in the sea pattern on the website in my size and was super tempted to order them but I passed. It was probably a return, otherwise yeah I think they are sold out.

    Yup, I'm glad I got the 15% off, better than nothing!

    1. Anytime! Glad to do a review of it. I'm pretty lucky I was in town for this. It just coincided at the same time I was here visiting my family.

  3. I was at this place last week. This is such a joy as a place for food! I had a beautiful time here. It reminded me of other venues in San Francisco. A beautiful, wonderful place that had excellent atmosphere.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.
