Happy Olympics!

I love the Olympics!  Love them, love them, love them.  I have the dates written in my calendar like three years in advance.  I will be watching every single sport NBC decides to air.  Fencing?  You bet!  Modern pentathlon?  Wouldn’t miss it!  Kayaking?  Can’t wait!  Synchronized diving?  Already set my DVR!

In the spirit of the Summer Games, I give you shoes inspired by this year’s host city, London!  Let’s start with a classic:

Does it get any more British than Doc Martens?  Their 1460 is part of their classic collection, an 8-eyelet boot made of black leather, adorned with the Union Jack in red and white leather at the toe.  Yours for $140.

Aren’t these sweet?  The Patty is a beautiful felt pump, with a moderate heel and a round toe—stitched with the Union Jack, of course!  And to prove your love for the UK, there is a red felt heart smack dab in the middle.  Love.  If you agree, find them on Irregular Choice on sale for $84!

The Bob’s World Nation Slip On by Sketchers is the perfect casual Olympics-watching shoe.  Fabric upper and lining, rubber sole, and it comes in the stars and stripes too, if you want to cheer on the American teams!  Your choice from Endless for $40.

Gaa!  I love these!  I want to wear them for both weeks of the games and never ever take them off!!  The Jacked Up by Iron Fist is a sparkly tribute to the Union Jack: silver, blue, and red sequins adorn a round-toe pump with a 3.5-inch heel.  Whole sizes only; yours for $60 from Punk.com.

Whichever your favorite, pull ‘em on, root for the good ol’ US of A, and enjoy a fabulous fortnight of athletic feats!  Opening ceremonies is tonight-- don't miss it!


I also want to mention that Bus Stop Boutique is having a "Go For the Gold" Olympics sale today from 11 AM-8 PM!  Grab all your gold jewelry (get it?) and get 15% off, plus have a glass of lemonade on the house.
