Sochi Obsession: Johnny Weir & Tara Lipinski

All photos via JohnnyGWeir and TaraandJohnny on Instagram.

I've been so tuned to CBC's Olympic coverage that if it wasn't for rlr mini, I might have completely missed the magic that is Johnny Weir. The flamboyant two-time Olympic figure skater and Gold Medallist Tara Lipinski are the new figure skating broadcasters for NBC and while their commentary is spot-on, it's aaall about the fash-ion. According to USA Today, Weir and his 'work wife' brought 8 suitcases, 20 pounds of shoes, and four fur coats to Sochi, and the duo often stay up until 3 am coordinating outfits. He is all neck bling, sparkles, Chanel blazers and vintage Ferre - a cross somewhere between Liberace and Caesar Flickerman. Lipinski, meanwhile, is a little more subdued but super chic nonetheless, in her Valentino Rockstuds, fair-isle jumpsuits, and YSL handbags. If you don't already, you have to follow TaraandJohnny on Instagram for their hilarious fashion play-by-plays and amazing coordinating ensembles.

Weir on Lipinski walking past the buffet: 'And there she is, she's grabbing for a treat. She's eating the treat. She's walking, Tom Ford heels, she's walking, she's walking. And spins. Nails it!'  Best.

And Putin thinks there are no gays in Russia...honestly...

Head-To-Toe RW&CO. Contest

When my finely-frocked friends at RW&CO. asked me to check out their new Spring collection and shop for a head-to-toe look, I was naturally stoked. I had yet to check out their new season stuff in person but thanks all the recent editorial coverage, I knew that the store had stepped up its game for spring. But mostly, I was curious to see whether or not RW&CO.'s brand new footwear line would live up to all the hype.

I started with a black & white look with gold pointy-toe python flats, then migrated over to reds, whites and blues finished off with a pretty blue sandal, but eventually settled on a winner - a floaty floral print dress cinches with a studded belt, a black anorak that will be my new spring go-to, a coral python clutch, a pretty gold filigree ring, and of course, a killer pair of black ankle-wrap heels. I'm not just saying this because they gave me a shopping spree - I am SMITTEN with my new outfit, and am of course thrilled to have a place to shop for cute, well-made, under-$100 shoes. 

To celebrate the launch of its footwear collection, RW&CO. is launching its Head-To-Toe RW&CO. contest! The winner will receive the ENTIRE RW&CO. Spring/Summer 2013 Shoe Collection - that's a total value of over $1,100, btw.
