Last Minute Fashion's Night Out Picks


Are you ready for the fourth annual Fashion's Night Out Over 500 cities in 19 countries are participating in the world's biggest shopping party.  And here in New York City, there are so many fab in-store events to choose from, it's hard to figure out what shops to pop in.  

We gravitate towards those with free bubbly, grub and goodies. So here's a short list of Everything She Wants' midtown and downtown FNO picks:

Midtown

1459 Broadway (at Times Square)
6-10 pm

Get 30 percent off all day on your fave LOFT fashions. Then at 6 p.m. the FNO party gets started with a live DJ and flutes of prosecco.  Plus, get a limited edition tote with a purchase of $75 or more.

80 West 40th Street (across from Bryant Park)
6-10 pm

Shop 'til you drop while 80s jams are pumping and slumber party chick flicks are playing during this ultimate slumber party.  And that's not all -- nosh on sweet treats and enjoy free manicures, hair styling at a braid bar, charm bracelet stations, tattoo booths and palm and aura readings. This Girl's Night Out during FNO sounds so bitchen,  we may not make it downtown.
Soho
543 Broadway (between Prince and Spring Streets)
6-11 pm

Attention, shoe-nistas, Carlo Pazolini is the place to be on FNO.  Dance the night away to the beats of DJ Michael Scanlon and sip champagne (okay, who are we kidding -- pound back a few, they're free!) at this recently opened Soho store. Take photos of yourself rocking the latest fall styles via a digital photo booth, and everyone who tries on a pair of Carlo Pazolini shoes will score a special tote bag. 
Gant
3 FNO parties
645 Fifth Avenue, 353 Bleecker and 25 Prince Street
6-11 pm
Do you like free stuff? Duh. Do you like GANT? Who doesn't? Combine these two passions on Fashion's Night Out, GANT will be hosting an in-store contest and one lucky winner will win a $1,000 shopping spree. You can make it rain..in clothes! For everyone else there is a solid consolation prize: 15 percent off all goods, all night. Available at all GANT store locations in NYC, including the Bleecker Street, Prince Street and 5th Avenue locations. Free beer will be flowing at the downtown locations and all will be open until 11 pm.

Meatpacking District
Target
441 W. 14th Street
6-10 pm

New Yorkers are starved for a good Target (the Harlem and Brooklyn Tar-jay stores pale in comparison to their well-stocked and well-mannered suburban counterparts), so we can't wait for this pop-up store -- open for one night only! The pop-up will feature goods from the store's new designer collaborations before they launch nationwide.

874 Washington Street
6-11 pm

Solange Knowles will be spinning the hipster soundtrack. Cocktails will be flowing.  Delicious bites will be served.  And the store's namesake designer, Diane von Furstenberg, will be there doling out fashion advice.  This is bound to be a madhouse, so we advise you get there early!

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . 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 the Big Apple, 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

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp

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
