Last night I went to Pies ‘n’ Thighs in Williamsburg for dinner off of my friends’ ridiculous reviews on how great the food is, I had to try it out. I’d been looking forward to going all week and I finally made it.

We both had the Chicken Biscuit which is a fried chicken cutlet on a freshly baked biscuit with honey butter and hot sauce.

I can’t tell if it’s the marketing student, the Pepsi drinker, or the “This is How We Do It” song lover that makes me really like this commercial but I do.
Well, not so much revisited for me since… I was NO WHERE around when that blackout happened. Umbro took inspiration from that period to commemorate the story of NY Cosmos’Carlos Alberto’s US arrival to create the Blackout Collection.
It’s known as the city that never sleeps, but on July 13 1977 New York fell into complete darkness as a blackout swept over the entire area, plunging NYC into chaos. By coincidence, Brazilian defender Carlos Alberto Torres was arriving in the city at the same time to sign for the New York Cosmos football team… These two moments are the inspiration behind the Cosmos Blackout collection, which takes some of our most celebrated items and shapes them into a cool tonal range. All the products are black on black, but find flashes of colour and texture through the use of embroidery, UV responsive paint and reflective prints. — via Umbro

Well, not really. Catherine Malandrino wasn’t at Le Bain’s Scion sponsored Pool Party on Saturday but I was there, in the Catherine Malandrino free dress rental Rent the Runway sent me on Friday. I decided to dress it down with flats since the only thing I had planned for the weekend was work and the pool.
