Have a Golden Weekend!

The weekend is here, along with the ending of the 2012 Olympic Games (and the Lewis staff wearing red, white and blue to work everyday)! We've had a wonderful time keeping up with games, dressing for the games and coming up with blog posts about the Olympics. So here's one last post to kick off the weekend and the last days of the 2012 Olympics!

• Here's an interview with Houston's Golden Girl, Marlen Esparza on winning the Bronze Medal and some of her pre-flight superstitions!
• Did you know this is London's third time to host the Olympic Games? Ever wonder how each year compares with the other?
• I have to admit... my favorite re-cap of the Olympic Games came from Vanity Fair.
• USA Gymnast, Mckayla Maroney made jaws drop with her vault!
• Olympians, then and now.

The featured bracelets from left to right:

 John Hardy, Roberto Coin and David Yurman.

All consist of 18k Gold!

Olympic Nails

Have you guys been paying attention to all of the fancy nails at the Olympics?! I know it's difficult to peel your eyes from the fierce competition, but if you can pay attention to the tiny details for just a few seconds it's well worth it. A ton of Olympians are showing their pride on the tips of their fingers and, if you're into that kind of thing, it's awesome!
