Spring 2011 Fashion Trends from the World's Best Boutiques

Spring may be playing hard to get, but soon enough we’ll be able to put our winter coats and galoshes away.  And when spring has finally sprung, we’ll need new clothes to work and play in. 

So let's take a look at a few of the season’s hottest designer fashion trends Everything She Wants found on the uber-cool boutique clothing website Farfetch, which culls fashions from top-selling and up-and-coming designers found at the world's best boutiques (with free returns worldwide).

Jungle boogie: Animal print has become an evergreen staple in every stylish girl’s wardrobe.  But no matter what any Real Housewives cast member might think, you never want to overdo it and wear leopard print from head-to-toe.  A great way to spice up an outfit is with a bold pair of shoes like these funky leather, leopard print platform sandals. Details include leopard print crossover straps at the toe, yellow trim, buckle fastening, and a sling-back.

Flower power: Nothing says spring fashion like floral prints. Perk up with this patterned cotton tunic  featuring a deep v-neckline (I'd wear a cami under it), sporty drawstring ties fastening at the waist, and three quarter length sleeves with tie-details on the cuffs. And be a flower girl every day with this whimsical, gold-plated rose pendant with a pink resin rose and green jade leaf -- the perfect accessory for the season.

3. 

Anchors away: Capture the nautical look in this playful pink and purple striped cotton sailor dress with a sailor’s collar with black edging and a chest pocket with an anchor detail. The darling bow front dress (see first photo) also gives a subtle nod to the sailor girl theme.





4. 

Boogie fever:  The '70s are back.  Revisit the disco era with these blue leather platform sandals.  The high-heeled "Eunice"sandal has a cork sole and double ankle straps.

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...

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.
