Shoes for your Inauguration Afterglow

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Stores We Love, Shoes, Must Haves


We encountered a great lineup of shoes from Spring Court at (capsule), a PR event that takes place in New York, Paris, and Las Vegas and promotes hot designers. But our favorite pair?

Ralph Lauren does an Olympic collection for us

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style


We told you that Ralph Lauren was chosen to outfit the 1,500 or so athletes representing the United States at this year's Olympics in Beijing, but we didn't realize that the patriotic designer was making a lineup for Team USA zealots. Now, we can show our support for our nation's athletes by shelling out $125 to Ralph Lauren for an official US 2008 polo shirt. Go capitalism!

If you happen to be one of those people who likes to wear polos that are absolutely covered in official-looking badges and symbols -- you're in luck. The Olympic Games Collection is pretty much covered up in embroidered junk. Honestly, we're really not so fond of that type of thing. We're especially not fond of the giant Chinese characters on the front of this shirt that translate to "Beijing." Put the Chinese characters for "America kicks ass," and we'll wear that shirt with pride. We might even get the slogan tattooed -- on our teeth.
