Katie Holmes is Glowing at Old Navy Fashion Week Party

One of the coolest things about New York Fashion Week is celebrity spotting. At a Fashion Week party for Old Navy, we saw stylist June Ambrose, former Top Model creative director Jay Manuel and the evening's co-host, fashion editor and Old Navy style ambassador, Joe Zee.

The A-list star power, however, came courtesy of Suri Cruise's mom, aka Katie Holmes, who held court at the temporary jewelry tattoo station. We loved "Dawson's Creek" back in the day and we are happy to report that "Joey" is just as beautiful (dewy tanned skin, luscious brunette locks, model thin and tall) in person as she looked on the small screen. And we're sure Tom has gotten the memo by now, but Katie looks really happy.

Instead of models, Old Navy set up kiosks with Joe Zee's fall fashion picks. But we were too busy mingling and waiting in line for swag (Old Navy tee-shirt, scarf and tote bag and a custom eye compact palette from e.l.f. Cosmetics) to take a gander at Mr. Zee's picks. And not having models or a clear idea of what exactly was being celebrated was perhaps this cool event's one misstep.

Either way, it was a festive way to kick off Fashion Week.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store. And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and
