Welcome to Everything She Wants!

Here's to new beginnings. Until recently, I was the editor for Hot Mama Daily, a popular beauty and style blog for women of color under b5media's Splendicity umbrella. I loved writing the blog, and published 600-plus posts since I took it over in November, 2008. So I was surprised and saddened by its abrupt end.

But I'm the kind of woman who likes to take control of her destiny. That's why I launched Everything She Wants. Fashion, beauty, celebrity dish, luxe travel, and pop culture delights are my passion. The blog's title is a wink to the latter and was inspired by one of my teen fixes, '80s heartthrob duo Wham!

I hope my Hot Mama Daily followers find me (Google works, y'all) and that a bevy of new readers embrace the blog as a new web resource for what's hot, hip, and delightful.

Everything She Wants is tailored to fit quirky, trend-setting, driven, and curious women like me.

Because everything she wants, is everything she sees.

Stay tuned,

Tracy E. Hopkins

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. Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner. Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet? If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn. One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller).
