New York: Lala Over Lulu in Union Square

lululittle.jpgHey last-minute shopper. Yeah, you. Well, despite Seaweedgate, I'm still quite smitten with Lululemon's incredibly comfy, well-constructed, cute yoga/workout/hang-out clothes (and yep, they're a YJ advertiser, but I swear I'm not being paid off in Scuba hoodies--if only). And now there's one more place to buy their stuff in our sleety city--just in time for the holidays.

Though it's not technically a store, but a "showroom" on the second floor of an office building in Union Square, the weeks-old shop is tiny but ample. It's also teeming with great potential gifts. In fact, I just scooped up a pair of sturdy, sparkly pink leg-warmers for a friend who I'm hoping will embrace her inner Irene Cara.

The store is also planning on holding the occasional yoga class. I looked around the snug place crammed with bags and mats and tops and pants and undies and was like, "Um, where?" The helpful shopkeep pointed to the clothing racks--"Well, everything's on rollers." Ah, the Canucks have embraced small-space NYC living. She said they may even have midday classes, but for now you'll need to contact the store for details.

If you can't quite picture yourself sun-saluting among racks of covetables, they've also got a cute little community table with fliers to many of the eight-zillion Union Square yoga studios.

So, happy shopping and staying sane in the next week. Don't forget your slow, even breathing at the family dinner table. Maybe take a look at Lulu's great "manifesto" before setting off for the beloved people who know exactly how to challenge your equilibrium the most.

I had no idea! Oh, now I can't *wait* to go back to work tomorrow... :)
