on my mind: london olympics 07.06.2012

I can’t wait for the Olympics! I’m trying to come to terms with the the idea that I might not won’t get to compete in the Olympics (this was my ultimate childhood goal, but my gymnastics skills didn’t quite hold up). Anyway, I still love being a spectator and get teary over and over with pride for all the athletes. I love seeing the world come together for a few weeks of friendly competition. To get in the spirit, I’ve assembled a few olympic-inspired items!

For all of you out there that need to shop for a girlfriend, sister, daughter, or any other gal in your life that just seems to be her very own trendsetter….we commissioned Jessie Artigue of Style & Pepper to give us her top fashion picks!

Yes, that’s right-you can hire her to come in and do a closet makeover or wardrobe styling! Not to mention she does visual merchandising and even on-air style segments! She does it all and we are lucky to have her share her favorite picks with us today. Is it wrong to want all of them?
