Last night during The New York Observer's foray into the studios of Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live we actually learned something. (Incredible, when dealing with a reality television roundups.)

Think: a TV adaptation of The Carrie Diaries, Candace Bushnell's teen tale of the iconic Bradshaw during her senior year of high school. Obviously, this show will be produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, they of Gossip Girl and The O.C. fame. Who knows the inner-workings of rich teenagers better than those two.

If you want to join us in the new romantic order, you must first accept this: You live in a postdating society.
There will be no dates.
There will be "nondates"--ambiguous drinks, overwrought g-chats, cheeks unexpectedly flushed over coffee with a co-worker. You will not have a boyfriend, but your inboxes will overflow with text messages, Read More

Since spending money is now considered the patriotic duty of those who are still employed, I hoofed it over to the Barneys Warehouse Sale the other day, confident in my ability to find, perhaps, a pair of Marc Jacobs flats that I could wear in the same way that politicians don flag lapel pins.
Last weekend, Sunday Styles's Alex Williams explored a complaint that New Yorkers have had for as long as they have occupied the island: that the city is not what it used to be, that it's no longer this because it's becoming too much of that.
