Petite Impact

I have another guest review from Andrea. Thank you so much for the photos of the back of this wrap! I'm definitely passing on this one.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " I tried on the Sit in Lotus Wrap at a store today and thought I should let you know it looks wearing upside down. Looks pretty in the front but ... Weird in the back in my opinion.  Way too short! Guess that's why they don't show the back view on the website!  My wallet is safe." - Andrea The back of the wrap is definitely too short and a little weird looking. Doesn't look like it lays right. I did end up placing a huge order over the weekend so hopefully I'll have some reviews coming up soon. On the way I have the Transformation Wrap coming, Breeze By Muscle Tank , a couple of Vinyasa Scarves , Ivivva Rhythmic Tights , and Set To Go Joggers . Hope everyone had a great weekend and here's to an awesome December!

Today we have a special review from one of my readers. Thank you so much Andrea for sending me these photos and a very detailed review on the Calm & Cozy Jacket . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " My Lululemon order just came in and I would like to let you know how the Calm and Cozy Jacket fits. The Heathered Quartz color is pretty and I prefer it over Heathered White (I normally don't wear "colors"). For your information, I'm 105 lbs at 5'3". I got the jacket in size 2 and while it fits like a glove elsewhere, I find the neck too tight and uncomfortable while fully zipped.  Mind you I have very lean neck! I wish the jacket was a tad longer in the body. I do like longer jackets like the Radiant Jacket.  Sleeve length is good in my opinion. The jacket is not as stiff as I thought even with all the horizontal stitchings in the front. The deal breaker is workmanship. Some people might not mind but it is obvious that

Sarah was nice enough to send me some photos of her Mantra Capri's from Athleta. Here is her review: " Just got my Athleta Mantra Capri in Abyss today and thought I would share my impression with you. Please excuse the mess! I became aware of these from Cristina (aka Lulumum) did a review on the Sweat Edit, and I just had to order them! Luckily I had a good excuse as I need a new bikini which I also ordered from Athleta (which I also love and am keeping). The size I am wearing is Small Petite (I am 5'3'', ca 125 lbs), I wear a 6 in lulu bottoms. I would say the fit is true to size. The Powervita fabric is amazing, it feels quite 'velvety' but does't seem like it will pill. It reminds me the most of Nulux or this year's brushed luxtreme from Lulu. It is quite lightweight but still opaque in the bend test. The calves fit nice and snug, but not too tight and the mesh is not scratchy at all. The waistband is very comfortable and not too high.

I want to thank Sarah for sending an email with her review of her latest Athleta haul.  I actually really like the  Colorblock Revelation Tight  and want a pair for myself.  I'm sad the petite sizes are sold out!    I'm tempted to order in the regular XS just to see.  Thanks again Sarah! "Hi Leslie! happy new year  My Athleta order just arrived so I thought I'd share with you  I got the high rise quest chats capris in iron blue and purple drama.  Left to right: High Rise Quest Chaturanga Capri and Black Quest Chaturanga Capri Compared to my black quests, these are longer and the fabric is smoother and more compressive. I really like the change. I have included a picture of the fabric content and it's the same but the two new pairs feel more substantial, not sure why! I have also included a comparison to the high rise knickers so you can see the difference in length. Left to right: Iron Blue High Rise Quest Chaturanga Capri , Black

Sarah was nice enough to send me some photos of the new Speed Tight V (brushed) in black cherry.  The Speed Tight IV never worked for me because of my short legs, but now that it looks like the new version is indeed shorter, I may give these another try.   From Sarah- "I have the first pic where you see the Speed IV (in black luxtreme) compared to the Speed V in Black Cherry (brushed Full-On luxtreme). You can see that the Vs are a bit shorter than the IVs. They fit the same. Plus I am only about 5'4'' so I actually prefer the shorter version, but miss the ruching detail! The brushed fullux feels very smooth, a bit more 'velvety' than fullux, but not as 'brushed' as the speed IV brushed tights (mine are currently in the wash!). I prefer the newer version! Also this one is made with Nylon and the IVs brushed fullux was mostly polyester. I love speeds and have 5 pairs of the IV, and now one pair of the V, may get more if they g
