The Closet of Our Dreams Actually Belongs to SJP
Manolo Blahniks, low-rise skirts, the Dior newspaper dress. Carrie Bradshaw's closet never goes out of style and it also hasn't left the hands, or the hangers, of Sarah Jessica Parker.
SJP actually owns Carrie's entire closet, it's written into her contract (*screams in Carrie*). That's how the And Just Like That team is able to fill her closet with all the iconic pieces we know and love.
"Well I have all of it, I've kept her archive since the very beginning. I have all of Carrie's outfits since the pilot," Parker said in a recent interview with Wonderland Magazine. "So I don't need to steal anything, cause I have it all!"
Season 3 of AJLT is finally out and before we get into the goods, what did you think about that "cloud" hat? It's all over social and if you've been with the show for a while, it probably wasn't a huge surprise. Parker chose it herself and hoped that executive producer Michael Patrick King would be on board with the idea.
"I've learned over the years that sometimes logic is not as good as a hat. It makes people say, 'I love it. I hate it. Oh, my God, what was she thinking?' King told USA Today.
This season, SJP said her favorite pieces were found from London, including flea markets, vintage shops and private closets.
"Tons of like turn of the century stuff and Victorian-era stuff and that stuff is incredible," Parker told Wonderland.
Her fashion is impeccable as always, but what's going on in Carrie's life this season? Here's one take from my colleague, Lydia Patrick.

Love her or loathe her, Carrie Bradshaw knows how to make an entrance.
Sarah Jessica Parker stutters back onto our screens for the latest series of And Just Like That... sporting a princess-like, nude sheer Simone Rocha dress, roses stuffed into her pockets, paired with a matching jacket, as she signs off a blank postcard to Aidan. Surprisingly, for a writer, she omits all words—just a heart scribbled at the bottom. Why? Because they have agreed to five years (yes, years!) of no-contact as Aidan resides in Virginia to raise his troubled son, who got into a drink-driving incident.
This is very on-brand for the healthiest couple of all time, who reunited in season 2 of AJLT after a lifetime of emotional turbulence due to Carrie's infidelity and a called-off engagement in the original show Sex And The City. For them, "no contact" means exchanging blank post-cards, with a smattering of awkward phone sex.

Some of the biggest U.S. airlines are quietly charging solo travelers more than passengers who book as a pair, according to recent travel industry findings.
American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have added new fare rules that in some cases require passengers to book at least two tickets to access the cheapest fares. That means solo travelers could end up paying as much as 70 percent more for the same flight.
The rationale, according to airline analysts, is straightforward: solo travelers are more likely to be business travelers, who typically book flights with less concern about cost due to corporate budgets. Airlines are using fare rules to target those perceived as less price-sensitive.
"It's just another way for airlines to continue segmenting their customers," Thrifty Traveler's Potter explained.

With dementia diagnoses on the rise as the U.S. population grows older, many people are wondering what they can do to protect their brain health. A new study points to a simple answer: your diet.
Researchers found that sticking to the MIND diet—a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diets—were significantly less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
"Our study findings confirm that healthy dietary patterns in mid-to-late life and their improvement over time may prevent Alzheimer's and related dementias," said paper author professor Song-Yi Park of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
"This suggests that it is never too late to adopt a healthy diet to prevent dementia."
