Watch Whitney Port's Fashion Week Show Live on YouTube!


Fans of MTV's The Hills and the short-lived New York City spinoff The City are already fond of California girl Whitney Port.  We watched the 26-year-old's charmed career ascend from an internship at Teen Vogue alongside Lauren Conrad to assisting fashion PR guru Kelly Cutrone to launching her own clothing line.

In 2009, Port debuted her Whitney Eve collection. Her line embodies an ease and effortless chic inspired by the laidback aesthetic of her native Los Angeles, with a hint of New York City street style she dubbed as ‘"feminine, chic street wear." 

Global online retailer Very.com will sponsor the showcase of the Whitney Eve Fall 2012 collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center on February 15th. While Whitney has previously shown during Miami Fashion Week, this will be her first solo show in New York.

Although you have to be a fashion industry VIP or invited guest to witness the show in person, Very.com* will stream the event live and exclusively from its Very.com YouTube channel  on February 15th at  9 a.m. EST.

British online retailer Very launched globally in November 2011 with an event held at New York City's members-only Soho House. A spokesperson for the brand said, "We are delighted to be working with Whitney Port and sponsoring her Whitney Eve collection."

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

Memorial Day Weekend 2023 Cultural Highlight: DanceAfrica Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Throughout Brooklyn

In her essay, " African Dance is Medicine for the Mind, Body and Spirit ," dancer, teacher and choreographer Cherie Hill wrote, "The more I perform African dance, the more I discover and enjoy euphoria. When the drums are beating and the body is dancing everything fits in sync and I feel limitless and powerful."   Photo by Nate Palmer                                                                                                                         Hill is honored with a portrait by Cecilia Lamptey-Botchway that's on display   at the  BAM Howard Gilman Opera House  during the annual  DanceAfrica Festival .  The festival celebrates Black joy and resilience and the regal power of African dance.  I mark my calendar each year for the  DanceAfrica Bazaar, where I often run into old friends and see familiar faces. In a Brooklyn that has quickly become gentrified, I love to see us walking tall, beaming with pride and to quote Bey, "shining, shining, shining, y

Does Your Cheap Jewelry Contain Lead?

Scouring street fairs, flea markets and discount shops for cheap, chunky costume jewelry is kinda our thing. As a sometime sidewalk sale seller and Etsy store owner, we’ve even sold thread earrings made in Brazil and Peru.  Street fair jewelry is cheap, but is if safe?/Photo by Tracy E. Hopkins Lately, however, we’ve noticed the label " lead compliant " on some of our fashion jewelry finds. But what does that mean? To get the skinny on lead compliance and what we should look for and avoid when shopping for budget costume jewelry, Everything She Wants asked two jewelry experts/medical doctors – Alexis Gopal and Matilde Parente -- for their tips. Everything She Wants : What does it mean when jewelry says, "lead compliant?"   Alexis Gopal : The term "lead compliant" means that the piece of jewelry conforms to the standards set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Information Act , which was signed into law in 2008. It set limits on the am
