Sneak Peek at Aerosoles Spring 2012 Collection

Everything She Wants is a sucker for a stylish comfort shoe, and my go-to brand is usually Aerosoles.  Recently, I stumbled upon the brand's spring 2012 preview during the Fashion Footwear Association of New York (FFANY) convention.

For spring, Aerosoles runs the gamut from office-to-brunch-ready tailored and modern styles to shoes in bright colors and animal prints.  A few fashion-forward boots were also on display including cute peep-toe, wedge booties and fringed booties.  The selection was impressive, however, I'm still in search of a replacement pair of my all-time fave Aerosoles' boots -- the Flamcoyant in black suede.

These knee-high boots zip up the back and are accented with tasteful brass studs around the top and up the sides.  I purchased the durable shoes about four years ago and literally wore them out.  And if it weren't for the holes in the soles, I would never have donated them to the Sally Army.

The bad news is that Flamcoyant is no longer being made.  So here's my plea to the powers that be at Aerosoles to bring them back for Fall 2012.  If they do, I promise to buy at least two pair so I'll have a spare.

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

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.   Everything She Wants : What did it feel like being back in
