SCENE CITY: 2012 Olympic Shooting Venue

These hi-tech tents have been erected for the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games, which will be held in London, England. The pink, orange, and blue "spots" may seem out of place but they do happen to produce value in both their practicality and aesthetic. These circles will provide shade and ventilation to competitors, coaches, and fans while evoking the precision, badassery (is that a word?), and all-around cool of shooting.

See more after the jump! 

STYLE MUSE: Azealia Banks

This budding music maker and style maven was recently featured on the cover of Paper Magazine's music issue. These two gifs were our favorite out of the already spectacular bunch. Whether a long-time fan or just hearing of her, you must admit that Ms. Banks' swag is off the charts!

Aging Fiercely

If you haven't heard,  Advanced Style, a blog featuring "stylish and creative older folks," is in the process of becoming a documentary. The creator, Ari Seth Cohen focuses on New York City's over-60 set, proving that often, great style comes with age and experience.

To help make this film become a reality, donate (the goal's already been surpassed but it couldn't hurt, right?). Otherwise, keep following these inspiring older women and men on the Advanced Style blog.

Today begins the UEFA European Football (or soccer, for us Americans) Championship, hosted by Poland and Ukraine. Over the next several weeks, sixteen nations will compete in the tournament;  the winning team will automatically be entered into the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. Find more information about competing teams and when games are being held, here.

Though, admittedly, some of us at Flying A *cough* me *cough* aren't the biggest sports freaks or the most athletically gifted, we're definitely going to check out a few games. And what better way is there to channel your inner sports god than accessorizing with one of many sports bags offered at Flying A? See what we did there?

SNEAK PEEK: Palladium Boots

Created by the same company that manufactured WWII airplane tires, Palladium Boots are known for their durability. With a track-record of over 60 years, this definitely rings true. Palladium offers the perfect casual shoe, made for wear and tear while remaining stylish.



And Palladium produces videos just as well as they produce shoes. We love this clip of photographer Awol Erizku capturing New York City in his boots of choice.

Check back on the website soon to see what we're bringing in or swing by our brick and mortar shop in Soho if you're in the area.
