Laurence Decade sandals

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

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . 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 the Big Apple, 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.

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...
