Designer-Looking Accessories for Less Giveaway!

Everything She Wants is always on the lookout for a bargain.  So to my delight, I received an email from Evan Carraway Wortman, owner of an online women's jewelry and accessories boutique called Mimi's the look for less.

Mixed Metal Square Studs,  $22
The family business was launched nearly two years ago by Evan and her Mom.  And from statement necklaces to eye-catching stud earrings, most items on Mimi's are under $45.

"Accessories are so expensive, and if they were decently priced they usually looked cheap," explains Evan.  "We wanted to give women great looking things that weren't crazy expensive."

The site was named after Evan's great aunt, Mimi. "She was so cute and loved jewelry," she says.  "Even in her 90s, she wore fun jewelry."

To introduce Everything She Wants' readers to Mimi's, I'm giving away a trendy, Large-Face Silver Watch (retail value, $30).  The watch has a band that can be adjusted to fit, and is a take on an oversized Michael Kors watch that retails for more than seven times the price of the Mimi's version.

Large-Face Silver Watch, $30

    Hi!

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.
