Spring into Spring 2014 Fashion with Land's End

The winter chill is here. So the primary colors in our wardrobe, at least here in New York City, are inevitably gray and black. But we can still dream of spring and the promise of colorful tops, frocks, capris, knitwear and ballet flats to come.

With its signature preppy chic flair, a bevy of vibrant shades and patterns, and of course, plenty of classic nautical stripes, Land's End has everything you want and need to get you dressed for work and play in the spring 2014 season. Here's a sneak peek.

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 .

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.

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.
