The 2010 Winter Olympics have arrived! (Can’t you just hear the shwoosh! of skis through the snow?)

No matter what you’re watching—each event has a style all its own. From the fabulously sparkling figure skating outfits, to the bright ski jackets and snow-boarder gear, it’s an invigorating display of inner fire and attitude!

Vancouver holds a special place in my heart—my husband and I spent part of our honeymoon there. Check out the Olympic Media Headquarters at the stunning new convention center.

The white “sails” echo the beauty of the lively harbor area.

A stroll through Stanley Park in summer showcases a myriad of flowers and the famous rose garden. Lush hydrangeas line the walking paths in vibrant bursts of color.

Local artists sell their wares, and you can

get great views of Lion’s Gate Bridge and

the Vancouver skyline from the park.

International Fireworks Festival competition.

The inukshuk, the official emblem of the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Games, stands atop the misty peaks of Whistler Blackcomb mountains. An ancient symbol of Inuit culture, it traditionally acted as a directional guide or landmark and represents a human with outstretched arms.

Its abstract form is reminiscent of the Olympians who take to the podium to receive their winning medals. A moment of glory to forever remember the hard work and spirit that got them there.

Be sure to catch a glimpse of the elegant athleticism and gorgeous Empire red skating costumes of China’s gold medal-winning pairs’ figure skating team, Shen/Zhao—and write to let us know what your favorite Olympic moments are.

Go World!
