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

Win a Free Pair of Perfect Fit Jeans from Eddie Bauer!

Finding the right pair of jeans is one of the hardest shopping endeavors ever. For me, flared styles tend to work best since I'm smaller in the waist and fuller in the hips.

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.
