I love La Senza Spirit. I don’t lounge around in activewear, I sweat and I run. I expect a lot of out of my gear. I recently bought some workout clothes and was very impressed with the fit and construction. Best of all, it’s way cheaper than Lululemon. I saw these sunglasses in the store recently.

I love the shape and the frames. It should have been no surprise to me when I discovered that they were basically a knockoff of a pair by Tom Ford called Whitney

The La Senza Spirit version are $16.50CAD, Tom Ford $300US. I tend to lose sunglasses a lot, so I will be looking at the cheap version.

I was surprised at how cheap things are on sale at La Senza Spirit. I bought 2 pairs of capris at 20 bucks a piece, a pair of black pants (that fit amazing) for 30 bucks and 2 tank tops for $12.50 a piece. That’s 5 items for the price of one pair of lousy lululemon pants (I’m not a big fan of the fit).

    I love the figure-eight style of the lenses; its eye catching and unique.

    They are very hot sunglasses. I haven’t felt this strongly about sunglasses since I got some Oakley Frogskins in highschool

    Thanks for the tip on La Senza. I’ll be paying checking them out. I personally have never figured out how Lululemon can justify nearly $60 for a pair of pants. Must be the name, ‘cos it can’t be the quality. The pair I bought in a “sale” a year ago didn’t blow me away either.

  4. wondering says:

    well…lululemon is way better than american apparel for their pants. anyway, those sunglasses look very much the same. difference could be the lenses though…UV stuff, etc. lol

  5. geekigirl says:

    Lululemon pants are at $90 bucks these days. That place is for people who want to wear sudo workout gear but don’t want to workout. American Apparel is just yuck for anything that isn’t a tshirt

  6. wondering says:

  10. AEA says:

    I think that if you cant afford the Tom Ford’s than Y try and look cool and buy a cheap knock off that everybodys going to laugh at you for?
    … But im with you on the lululemon pants thing.. Holt Renfrew OR Saks has MUCH better stuff :)

  11. geekigirl says:

    AEA.

    It’s good to see ignorance alive and well in Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

  12. Meredith says:

    This in reply to AEA comment from Aug 11, 2007 about lululemon etc…HOW DARE you say cheap jew bags? whoever is the administrator of this site should know thats a horrible thing to say! Thouands of jewish people lost their lives in the holocaust and you just throw some anti-semitic joke about cheapness?

  13. geekigirl says:

    I’m the administrator of this site and I think leaving these comments to see the completely stupidity that person was warranted. I thought about removing it, but then that’s just covering up the fact that there are people still like that around. Racism is not dead.

  14. Mandii says:

    Hi, i just wanted to say… why do you want to buy a Fake pair of sunglasses??.. If somebody could please tell me the point of buying something ugly that copied something nice.. ?
    i have the tom ford whitney sunglasses and i love them.. anyone considering buying them, its DEFINATELY worth the money.. 300. isn’t even that much to spend on sunglasses, when u think, you wear them daily?

  15. geekigirl says:

    I can understand why people don’t by expensive sunglasses. 300 dollars is a lot to lose if they get misplaced or broken. I have an expensive pair now, but that took me over 15 years to spend that kind of money again. I had Oakley’s in high school but they got scratched when I got taken out by a lacrosse player (ya, long story).

    I wouldn’t go back to cheap now for everyday sunglasses. The lens quality is so amazing in my Burberry’s.

    ????

    Wow I hope not all teenagers are like that! Kids seem to have a sense of entitlement. It’s the VIP-line mentality. No concept of value for money.

    Wait until you have a mortgage Dingdong and AEA. Unless your daddy or pimp pays it for you, you’ll have a major wake up call when you’re older!

  17. MGunz says:

    I have not even tried lululemon pants before because they are expensive. However I can say that the La Senza Spirit line of clothes is very high quality and every piece I have bought there has lasted years of working out 3 times a week or more.
