Last Night’s Party: Cosmos With Candace Bushnell

Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte–there’s just something about those four fashionable Manhattanites that whips every girl into a frenzy. Proof? When we arrived early at the Gansevoort Park Avenue yesterday evening for the Gilt City-hosted launch of Summer and the City: A Carrie Diaries Novel, the estrogen-heavy line already wrapped around the block–and guests were getting pushy.

The move also [...]

Lipstick Jungle Hits Marie Claire

Our favorite How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days scene is Kate Hudson in the Conde Nast lobby, while Anne Hathaway’s building in The Devil Wears Prada actually belonged to InStyle. And while Carrie Bradshaw really did get to work at Vogue in Sex and the City, most other TV “magazines” are somewhat fabricated. [...]
