Today's Shopping Trip

I was able to sneak in a trip to the Fashion Island Lululemon today. My husband decided he wanted to do a 15+ mile run/walk this morning in preparation for his Surf City half marathon in February. He decided to run on the Mountains to the Sea trail which runs from Anaheim Hills to Newport Beach. He picked the trail up in Tustin Ranch and then I met him at Fashion Island in Newport Beach after my spin class. The mall was less busy than I thought it would be given it's two days before Christmas. My parents gave us money for Christmas to buy our own gifts so I bought the Tinted Canvas Power Y. This one doesn't have any lulu symbols in embarrassing places. I was just at lulu the other day so there wasn't much new to see except the Heathered Pigment Blue (HPB) extra long Cool Racerback:

The Heathered Pigment looked like a dead ringer for static Wish Blue:

I don't think the HPB CRB is as soft as the static wish but if you already have a static wish CRB there is no reason for you to get the HPB. As I was checking out I asked the girl if they are going to have new stuff out on the 26th and she said they were.

I got to see a couple of new items for the men:

They had a really cute West Coast hoodie in baby blue stripes. I wouldn't mind this pattern for myself.  My oldest son would probably like this pattern, too, but he's a bit small to fit into the mens line yet. I also don't feel like worrying weather his $110+ hoodie is going to get stolen at school.

They also had a heathered baby blue West Coast hoodie. 

The ladies markdown section was a decent size at the store so they hadn't shipped stuff out to the outlet yet.

We also wandered around the mall and I finally got to check out the Athleta store. The store is at the total opposite end of the mall and I never go down that way. It was a huge store but fairly empty of shoppers. I've ordered stuff from Athleta before but wasn't that impressed with the fit or the durability. I had ordered a tank with a built in underwire bra and the wire in the bra poked through after a few washings. I like the Pink Lotus stuff Athleta carries but none of that was on markdown.
