The excitement is building here in Vancouver as we are five days away to the start of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. I've been seeing Olympic officials and athletes (that's you, Team Slovenia!) hanging around my work place hood the last few days now, and it seems everyone is sporting Olympic gear of some kind (especially those popular red Team Canada mittens).
And why not? Especially when boutiques like Aritzia are putting out super cute Olympic-licensed gear, like this faux-fur lined hoodie from the Park Life line. The first edition sold out quickly, and the new line has some awesome pieces for getting in the spirit without sacrificing style. Other highlights from the line include the retro Canada tees and tanks, and the First Nations inspired grey sweatshirt. I can't get enough of the vintage Olympic patches on my hoodie and it's sooo cuddly.

For for the lucky ladies taking part in the medal ceremonies, Aritzia has created some lovely outwear. The wrap sweater coat and old-school ski jacket are figure flattering. This should help keep our Vancity reputation for having some of the most gorgeous girls in the world.
I have to give props to Team USA's gear, designed by Ralph Lauren. Sure, some of it is outrageously expensive, but if you can steal from the boys (like I did here with my boys polo), you can find bargains.
Love these fun kicks that come in white, red and blue, and this Opening Ceremony Knitted hat.
Let the Games Begin!
