July 4th Old Navy Gives Back to Our Troops

Chances are you were gonna pop in Old Navy this weekend for the "Star Spangled Sale" and pick up that last minute tank top, bathing suit, or pair of flip-flops for whatever July 4th festivities you have on your agenda this weekend.

Well, here's another reason to visit an Old Navy near you.  To celebrate the 2010 Independence Day holiday weekend and support our men and women in the military overseas, Old Navy has partnered with the all-volunteer program, Operation: Care and Comfort.

The program has two initiatives.  The first is a donation drive at Old Navy stores across the nation. As an added incentive, customers who donate get 10 percent off their total purchase that day.

Here's a list of what's needed:
  • Underwear
  • Undershirts
  • T-shirts
  • Socks
  • Sunglasses
  • Lip Balm
  • Foot Powder
  • Flip Flops

Secondly, there's the "Buy One, Send One" deal on Old Navy's famous flag tees ($5).  That means for every tee purchased in-store July 1 - July 5, the retailer will send one to our troops deployed overseas, up to 500,000.

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...

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...
