Go for the Gold with Olympic-Winning Picks

The closest you'll get to the London games is living vicariously through Matt Lauer. Still, that's no reason not to sit on the sidelines in style. Here are our top picks for channeling Olympic glory without breaking a sweat.








Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Country Collection

Kick things up a notch with sneaker prints inspired by nations known to bring the game-season heat, from Union Jacks and USA flags to Carnivàle-worthy Brazilian feathers.

Available at converse.com, $75.




Fancy Pony Land Felted Bangles

Colorful, woolen armbands push our pommel horse routine fantasies to their limits (and beyond).

Available at fancyponyland.com, $16-$32.

Land's End Slingshot

Natural buckthorn wood prongs and a preworn leather carrying pouch make target practice that much more fun.

Available at landsend.com, $30.







Sephora by OPI USA USA Jewelry Top Coat

We couldn't have said it better. The sparkly blend promises to take you "from beauty buff to style Olympian" in a single set.

Take London Like an Olympian


S'well Water Bottle

Attention all tall drinks of water (and those who like to watch them train): The stainless steel, condensation-proof bottles keep iced drinks chilly for 24 hours and hot for up to twelve.

Available atswellbottle.com, $35.





Olympic Jump Rope

The bad news: Double Dutch isn't an Olympic sport (yet). The good news: Packable workout tools (first created by a Portland schoolteacher and gym coach 45 years ago) are manufactured in Portland to this day.

Available at archivalclothing.com, $14-$16.
