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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Soak Up the Last Weeks of Summer Sun At The Rockaway Hotel

Summer is winding down, but there's still time to soak up the sun -- while wearing sunscreen, chic shades and a protective hat or sun visor, of course. If you're in New York City, The Pool at The Rockaway Hotel + Spa is a cool place to swim, lounge and discreetly people watch while swaying to beat of ambient music. It's a vibe! Day passes are available for non-hotel guests Monday through Thursday (excluding private events, 10 am -7 pm). Located in the heart of the Rockaway Beach community in Queens, New York, the Rockaway Hotel is just a few short blocks from the sand and surf. Besides the outdoor pool, the newly built 84,000 square foot hotel offers around 60 guest rooms, a restaurant, a rooftop bar, and a large event space. And it's a nice addition to the area. When my husband and I visited the popular pool, we enjoyed yummy sips and bites poolside. Lounging chairs are first come, first serve so the early bird gets the spot of their choice.
