To know me, is to know how much I love Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and The City.  So,when I learned that they were revisiting Carrie Bradshaw in her early years I was stoked.  AnnaSophia Robb won over the casting directors and is playing the leading role in CW’s Sex and The City prequel, The Carrie Diaries.

The show is set in the early ’80s during Carrie Bradshaw’s senior year of high school.

“She sent me a letter! I wrote her one back, too,” Robb told Us Weekly. “She was just very encouraging about it all. It was really cool.”

“The Carrie Diaries” is expected to air on The CW in the fall. It is based on the book by Candace Bushnell of the same name. It comes from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the team behind the series “Gossip Girl.”

Last weekend, I was invited to see the Off-Broadway hit show called, Love, Loss, and What I Wore and its a must see!  I invited my girlfriend to accompany me and she could’t stop thanking me for inviting her…we both laughed and even cried (yes, even cried).  The show was written by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, and opened in October 2009 at the quaint Westside Theatre (407 West 43rd Street), where it has broken all box office records.

Love, Loss, and What I Wore is a rotating cast of prominent women reading a compilation of intimate stories about the role clothing has played in the memorable moments of its subject’s lives, from celebrating the role of black clothing in a woman’s wardrobe (something that this New Yorker can relate to) to how a women’s bag is a complete mess (sounds familiar mom?).

If you’re in New York, grab your girlfriends for a night and take in this thought provoking performance before it’s gone – ends March 25! I related to a few of the stories, like remembering what I wore the day my son was born or what I wore the night my husband proposed.  Didn’t realize how true it was knowing how clothing affects your mood….what outfit do your recollect that has made an impact?
