Flower Power Rules at Liberty of London for Target Pop-Up Shop

Spring has sprung at the Liberty of London for Target pop-up shop in New York City. I was invited to a press preview yesterday morning, so here's the scoop. Honestly, I wasn't familiar with the Liberty of London brand. But its whimsical, flowery goods for women, men, and home are the perfect way to usher in the upcoming season. And best of all, the line is affordable.

I scooped up a bridal party-or-guest perfect, yellow and white floral pattern dress ($34.99) and a hippie chick, peacock patterned tunic ($24.99). Other items that caught my eye were cheeky men's boxers ($5.99), and a black and white plastic serving tray with a vintage-reminiscent pattern that could easily double as a dresser top centerpiece for makeup and perfume ($12.99).

If you're in New York City or you're planning to visit this weekend, pop in the Liberty of London for Target pop-up store at 1095 Sixth Avenue @ 42nd Street (across the street from Bryant Park). The temporary store is open through Saturday, March 13th from 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.

But don't fret if you miss it. Liberty of London debuts online and at Target stores everywhere on Sunday, March 14th.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Graces Brooklyn Academy of Music, June 4-9, 2024

Dance is expression. Dance is spiritual. Dance is activism. Dance is life. I feel most alive when I am listening to music and dancing. As a spectator and fan, some of my fondest moments of watching dance performances have been witnessing the dignity and grace of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience. Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors. And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House. (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.
