lulu in lala land
it seems like lululemon stores are suddenly sprouting up all over LA.
for the longest time, the only store out here was in santa monica by the third street promenade. then last october, a second store opened up in beverly hills. later this month, a third store will open up in calabasas, making the upscale merchandise more accessible to the fitness enthusiasts in the san fernando valley. and two more stores are due to open soon -- one on the trendy stretch of colorado boulevard in pasadena, and another one somewhere in manhattan beach.
the way i look at it, even if i can't justify paying the normal retail price of most of the items in the stores (although i have bought some marked-down stuff -- which does happen every now and then), i can always take advantage of the free yoga classes they offer from time to time. and yes, i know, it's their way of luring me back into their stores so that i might buy more goodies when i'm in a weakened state... like after savasana...
anyway, here are some upcoming lulu community events that you may want to add to your calendar:

here in sydney, it's really hard to find a) good yoga clothes that fit well, and b) reasonably priced yoga clothes, and c) good fitting yoga clothes (worth a repeat mention!)! You would think it would be an easy enough task, after all, there are enough studios here.
But alas, it's not the go. So I am absolutely wrapt when I find places selling lululemon.. i love the fit and the style of their stuff.
Alas, no lululemon stores here. But I'm sure there will be soon :)
And more than the clothes, I love their ads in yoga journal (and I'm sure, elsewhere). Have you seen them? It gets a good giggle thumbs up from me : )
yes, their stuff, while expensive, is excellent on all counts -- fashion, durability, comfort. so whenever i find something marked down, i grab it right away!
let's hope someone from lulu will see this and consider opening up a branch out in your neck of the woods...
