I know that swimming has stolen the show thus far in the summer Olympics, but let's not forget about all the other sports and athletes competing! Last night tennis hit the small screen, and one of my favorites, James Blake, won his Olympic debut. I've always thought tennis was an incredibly sexy sport — hello, upper-body strength!

Stella McCartney paired up with Adidas a few years back, and her feminine yet sporty clothes do not disappoint. The design are always fresh and lovely, not to mention expensive, but a girl can dream can't she. Her Fall sports collection includes dance and ski wear, but it is the golf and tennis outfits that really inspire.
