The elongated cardis is the perfect answer to this little problem. They’re light-weight and give off a very relaxed and non-chalant vibe. Celebrities all over the Los Angeles area can be seen sporting these super trendy covers.

The summer Olympics are about to begin on 8-8-08 in Bejing and just like every Olympics, the whole world is sure to be watching the coverage. Everyone is usually so in-tuned to the athletes and who’s managed to take home the gold. This year though, designers everywhere are scrambling to get their designs coverage. American sportswear brand, Ports 1961 has secured the corespondents on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the USA Network to wear their designs while cover the Bejing Olympics.

“When I was first approached to create a capsule collection for the NBC Olympic Commentators, I was honored,” said Tia Cibani, Creative Director of Ports 1961. “I can relate to their hectic work schedule and the necessity to have to have easy, modern, and accessible clothing that travels well. I took into consideration each woman’s personal sense of style and fused it with the classic Ports 1961 sensibility.”
