THE INFAMOUS VIV PICKLE, NEW SHOES AND FAIRWAY COMES TO RED HOOK

the infamous viv pickle has left the building. or in this case, my block. in her place is a FAB new boutique, castor & pollux. i had a chance yesterday to talk to one of the owners, kerilyn. she stocks phillip lim, krizia, and a fab shoe line la dolce vita (see pic ) that make a very affordable (98$) perfect city summer wedge espadrille. easy spirit by tara subkoff are coming in soon as well. the whole viv pickle space has been overhauled to feel like a very chic and plush closet. gorge wheat carpet, textured wallpaper and lovely dressing rooms. between her and ludivine, do i nee really need to be shopping anywhere else in the nabe?

next we took a car out to red hook, where we previewed the four day old GOOD FORK restaurant. althought the cabbie was afraid for our lives on that strip on van brundt ave, we felt fab as we entered the warm, woodsy coziness of the good fork, and chatted with ben schneider and his wife, mila, the fab chef who came from savoy. boy they are cooking up some amazing food, wild boar anyone? and a glass of the best bourbon i have ever tasted. and you know miss meghan likes a nip of the maker's mark everyonce in awhile! he topped us off with key lime pie and apple caramel something. and we got to see his new house just down the road on coffey street. DID U KNOW. both fairway and ikea opening in red hook in a few months. get your real estate claws in now to this chic little urban pioneer outpost.

then when the night couldn't get any better, it did. jay called and said to meet him at TOWEL a fab new bar on 58th street. when we got there, we realized it was the also infamous TAO. oy! investment bankers on the prowl but we just sat down and tucked into a few good drinks before we headed over to 92.3 FREE FM to hang while the twins talked to these guys. jackie was rockin pink sauconys. and then omg. i almost peed my pants. everyone was REALLY letting loose and seriously some of the best 20 mins of hilarity i've heard in a long time. anuses, hitler and angelea lansbury were all made fun of in one breath, so you can imagine the vibe that was rockin.

ps. the twins cheap seats on itunes this month. download it ASAP.

then up this AM to get sandi some fab shoes before she headed back to chi-town. sacco of course for some fab cream flowered patent t-strap heels! whoohooo!!
