There is no escaping the Olympics fever in London, living under a rock or a marble mausoleum. Yesterday’s women’s bike races were passing by near where I live which cancelled out all the resistance within to post a sports-based outfit. The only place you’d see me wearing sports clothing is probably the gym; I don’t randomly walk in sneakers or thermal leggings. Until I got this Lacoste top which has become second my skin since. I love how the yellow was worked into what otherwise would have been a simple black and white crop top.
Lacoste is all about unconventional chic and that widened my horizons. Sporty doesn’t have to look sporty, it can look interesting or trendy instead. It can also look very you and very me.
I mean, this is what I’d be wearing had I been Sporty Spice.
Cute outfit!

Thanks Amy

Best comment pun ever! Thanks

I’m to-tal-ly hooked by the Games, been looking forward to this for four years now! (And I have been writing posts about it – on my blog and many, many in my head
). The sporty look doesn’t fit me at all, but you, as usually wear it beautifully. Jump on your bike and drive along with those women 
.

I had no idea you lived in London, actually. Are you going to watch certain sports? I imagine it’s a giant happening over there, like, everyone has to take a look
You will be disappointed to know that I, in fact, do not know how to ride a bike. Too much of a city child, I am afraid.
It’s actually quite manic over here – which has its good sides because it’s exciting and pretty neat – but being a true blue Londoner now means that I have a one way ticket to moansville. No, honest, because of the Games, getting to work has become an Olympic race. And I ain’t winning. lol
Haha, okay, I understan that it’s fun as long as you go and watch the competitions.
May I ask what you do for a living?
I am a journalist by weekday and fashion blogger by weekend

Thank you, very surprisingly, the boots are easy to walk in – and that does not happen often when it comes to shoes 
This post is awesome! The pictures are amazing as well

I’m totally into my work out gear – you might like Canadian based label MICHI, fabulous bra tops and leggings. I think you’re giving sporty a run for her money here. I full expect to see you close out the Olympics in this outfit Edita
