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.

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.
Available at sephora.com, $9.50.
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.

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.
