Following on the heels of last week's post, Kate Spade's latest collection of tennis-inspired goodies is making me SWOON! So cute, so perfect for summer. Perfect reminder of those crisp tennis whites and green grass courts of Wimbledon.

Tennis, anyone?

love means nothing in tennis.

I. Heart. Tennis. Therefore, this editorial makes my life. Thanks to Katie Armour for first showing this Elle Italia spread, photographed by David Burton. This is like Ali-McGraw-prep/John McEnroe&Bjorn Borg meets high fashion. What better way to start the Grand Slam season?

anyone for tennis?

Social Primer and Brooks Brothers are set to unveil their newest collaboration tomorrow night in Newport, Rhode Island-- a bow tie to commemorate the International Tennis Hall of Fame.  How fitting is this since the best sporting event of the year just wrapped up?  SP and BB "have created a special limited-edition bow tie featuring contrasting patterns of tennis balls and tennis racquets," that will be available by contacting the Newport store (401- 847-1950), or by visiting the Brooks Brothers website.

This collaboration begs the "age-old" question:  Anyone for Tennis?
