Are You Ready for the Versace for H&M Sale?

Even though Everything She Wants wasn't invited to the star-studded launch party where Prince performed, H&M is still my favorite store. I won't be around to capture the early morning madness at the Versace for H&M sale, but in case you plan to to brave the crowd, here are a few helpful tips from Racked.com:

1) Get there early: H&M's shopping system makes it especially crucial to beat the rush, since the stores are giving special access to the first 280 women in line. For last year's Lanvin collab, an hour before the Fifth Avenue flagship store opened, there were already around 250 people waiting. So show up at least 90 minutes in advance.

To get early access, you'll need a color-coded bracelet. H&M staffers will hand out bracelets in 15 different colors, with each color corresponding to a time slot. Wen your time is called, you'll get 15 minutes to shop. That means for at least the first three-and-a-half hours, only shoppers with bracelets will be allowed in the women's section.

2) Know what you want: Shoppers are only allowed to purchase two pieces per product.

3) Pick your store carefully: Besides the flagship store on 51st and Fifth Avenue, other New York City H&M stores carrying the collection include: 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, Lexington Avenue at 59th Street, Seventh Avenue at 34th Street, Fifth Avenue at 18th Street, Herald Square, Soho and Lexington Avenue at 86th Street.

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

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.
