Dinner with Jeralyn and Christopher at Marlow & Sons, good conversation and great food; two of my favorite things.  I forgot my camera so a written description will have to suffice. Our feast:

Oysters, Apple Salad, Spaetzle with Sage, Chard Pasta, Brick Chicken, Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Tart, German Chocolate Cake with Brown Butter Ice Cream and then Madeira graciously poured by Sarah (I love her!) of Jackson, Johnston and Roe. Speaking of JJR, we just got new items from them and they are perfect for this autumnal weather we woke up to. Have a great weekend!
Big kiss,

Beba's modeling career has taken off.

So it's clear now that the baby t-shirts are also dog t-shirts and Beba is quite the little model. Too bad Otto won't let me dress him up. Guess he's too manly for those kind of shenanigans.

Keep the little ones warm.

Love,

Shoe madness!

SHOES!!!!!!!

You would be crazy to not come and get these shoes by Marais USA (their website is adorable).  It's not often that we have shoes, but cute Caron from Standard Finery (more on her later) wore the oxfords in last week and we couldn't resist placing an order. The boots are $120! and the oxfords are $88! I'm wearing the  oxfords as we speak and they couldn't be more comfortable. Get 'em while they last, which I imagine won't be long! (We have the boot in brown and the oxford in black).

Love,

TWO RAD THINGS COMING UP!

OCTOBER 2009 EVENTS AT CASTOR & POLLUX

Castor & Pollux is excited to announce our monthly calendar of events
for October 2009.

Poppy King (Lipstick Queen) "Fired Up" Launch Party
October 21, 6-9

An evening with Poppy King (Lipstick Queen) and Nell Merlino, creator
of Make Mine a Million and Take Your Daughter to Work Day. Poppy has
created “Fired Up,” a lipstick she developed to inspire women in the

Launch of Castor & Pollux's E-Commerce Website
Mid-October

We are incredibly excited to announce the launch of our e-commerce.
You know websites… the launch date is TBA, but coming very, very soon!
Our site is designed by Frank Gargiulo (The Art Dictator), who has
worked for powerhouses such as Atlantic Records, Warner Bros., and MTV
Networks. The site takes inspiration from old newspapers but overlays
a modern web sensibility. Frank has created an inspiring and beautiful
representation of the Castor & Pollux style for our online home.

 

SO excited for both of these things! Shopping online (finally!) and spending the evening with Poppy and Nell, amazing and inspiring! You've got to come out for it!

See you soon!

Now offering technical advice!

It's not a party until someone breaks something, right?
If so, the Lucky Magazine party was a doozy then. Someone spilled a glass of wine on our laptop. It's the second laptop we've lost... the first time it was champagne. We're tired of alcoholic computers and on the third strike you're out so we went with a desktop iMac.

The crazy thing is when you take your laptop to the Apple Store and to Tekserve they tell you that is needs data recovery and that it starts at $300. Tekserve thought it might cost $1,000... BUT YOU DON'T NEED THAT! No you don't!

What you do need is a screwdriver!

Take out the battery, unscrew the silver l-shaped plate, pull the white tab... voila. This is your hard drive and it hardly ever is ruined by a spill. Take this to Tekserve with an external drive. $69 worth of data transfer later and you have all your old files.

We just saved you $931. Come on down and check out all the goodies you can get with your savings!
See you soon!
