4 Fab Fall 2010 Fashion Tips from LOFT

LOFT is new-ish on my shopping radar.  I've become better acquainted with the brand after attending several seasonal previews.  

As a result, my statement necklace collection has certainly increased. But gifting and endless glasses of champagne aside, as a shopper in search of timeless wardrobe staples that can easily transition from day to evening, I've become a fan of the chain.  

So I asked LOFT Online Senior Stylist Lisa Bradkin for her Fall 2010 Fashion wardrobe tips.  Here are Bradkin's must-have styles:



  • BOLD STRIPES. Stripes are an easy way to give solid colors a kick, but we love them best mixed with other prints and textures—the look is irreverent and fun.

  • A CONVERSATION-STARTING NECKLACE. A big, sparkly statement piece is the easiest way to elevate an outfit of easy basics or tried-and-true favorites. Our most gorgeous Fall pieces feature richly colored faceted stones, rough-cut crystal, chains and heavy cord.

  • GENIUS JEANS. We are doing the coolest motocross jeans for Fall in blue and in black. Even if you don’t consider yourself a “jegging” girl, you will LOVE our comfy and sleek denim legging.

  • THE RIGHT BOOT. Nothing says Fall like a great boot. We love our lace-up booties, especially in chocolate brown. A thick-heeled ankle boot instantly gives dresses a modern proportion. The over-the-knee flat boot is also a wardrobe staple that can be worn countless ways!

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and white checkered pants with a matching lime green

Memorial Day Weekend 2023 Cultural Highlight: DanceAfrica Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Throughout Brooklyn

In her essay, " African Dance is Medicine for the Mind, Body and Spirit ," dancer, teacher and choreographer Cherie Hill wrote, "The more I perform African dance, the more I discover and enjoy euphoria. When the drums are beating and the body is dancing everything fits in sync and I feel limitless and powerful."   Photo by Nate Palmer                                                                                                                         Hill is honored with a portrait by Cecilia Lamptey-Botchway that's on display   at the  BAM Howard Gilman Opera House  during the annual  DanceAfrica Festival .  The festival celebrates Black joy and resilience and the regal power of African dance.  I mark my calendar each year for the  DanceAfrica Bazaar, where I often run into old friends and see familiar faces. In a Brooklyn that has quickly become gentrified, I love to see us walking tall, beaming with pride and to quote Bey, "shining, shining, shining, y

The Re-Education of NeNe Leakes: The Reality Star Talks About College Hill, What Housewives She's Still Friends With and More

I’ve been a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta since the beginning.     So I jumped at the chance to chat with original RHOA cast member and breakout star NeNe Leakes.     It’s been a tough couple of years since NeNe parted ways with the show. In 2021 her husband Gregg lost his battle with colon cancer and earlier this year she filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, Bravo. But on the brighter side, the 54-year-old is dating again and starring in the BET limited reality series,   College Hill: Celebrity Edition.    Along with other headline-grabbing reality TV stars including, Big Freedia, Lamar Odom, Stacey Dash and Ray J., NeNe and the members of the cast lived together and attended classes at the historically Black Texas Southern University.     We asked NeNe what it was like to go back to school, what the biggest misconception about her is, which housewives she's still friendly with, and more.   Everything She Wants : What did it feel like being back in
