A girl interviewing with my company today and showed up carrying this gorgeous bright pink umbrella. I’m a bit obsessed with umbrellas (I just bought a new one earlier today from MUJI), and now I want one of these. At $79, I won’t buy it … but a girl can wish.

This song is dreamy. Video, too. (I love his wife’s green dress in it.)

Song of the Week: Mika ~ “Blame it on the Girls”

I has a waffle fry & a burger.

One of the most soulful songs ever recorded. “Everybody Here Wants You.” ~ RIP Jeff Buckley

A St. Germain cocktail (not THE St. Germain cocktail, different) at the Hudson River Cafe in Harlem.

My friends @cocoabebe & Paul at my off. Yay!

I’m having a friendly rematch with my friend Bill today in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. My large Puerto Rican friend beat me last year in a lasagna-off, so this year, I’m trying to take him down with Mac N Cheese (one of my favorite foods).

I found Martha Stewart’s recipe for “Perfect Macaroni & Cheese” via Mark Bittman’s blog in the NYT. I made it a few months ago for my girlfriends Lily & Amy over on a girls’ night in.

The only adjustment I made was adding crisp, crumbled bacon on top. I knew it was good because Amy almost ate the entire pan! Wish me luck.

Event planners, look at this simple, lovely wine bar setup.

For 7 thou, you can have this Marilyn by Warhol. Loves.
