Today’s column features three neighbouring shops in Bells Arcade. Look for the Bells Arcade sign on Cashel Street, across from Whitcombe & Tombs. Or, you may enter the arcade from Lichfield Street, next to the Lichfield car park. ☆☆ ☆ ☆ Snakeskin has it, this year . . . has that little extra touch you need to dress up accessories or a too-plain outfit. A Black wool suit in Boutique Odette makes excellent use of snakeskin to dress up its battle dress jacket. Top and bottom of the jacket are trimmed in a delightful Black/White snakeskin. The button-through skirt has top stitching down the front. And it should see a lot of use on its own this winter. Knickers are ready now, too, at Boutique Odette. Two versions: Straight pants with buttons up the sides. Or gathered into a band below the knee, with a buckle or buttons. Boutique Odette, in Bells Arcade, opens at 8.30 each morning. ☆☆ ☆ ☆ Easter parties and weddings are only weeks away. And beauty specialists, such as Murray’s Beauty Bar, are already receiving appointment requests for Easter! Brides, for instance, will take advantage of such extra boosters as a hot towel facial. The facial, which includes cleansing, masking, and towel applications, is especially recommended for oily skins. It’s also excellent for removing the dead, leathery look some women have. Cost is only $1.50. Eye make-ups are increasingly popular with anyone whose poor eyesight makes the job difficult, perhaps improperly done. They cost $l.OO. Other beauty services at Murray’s include eyebrow shaping, waxing, manicures, and eyelash/ eyebrow tinting. A one-stop beauty headquarters, with prices extremely reasonable. You can call Murray’s Beauty Bar at 67-575 for an appointment. Or drop by their shop in Bells Arcade to find out how they can help with your particular needs. ☆ .☆ ☆ ☆ You may be thinking about how to dress up that ballgown or best frock during the coming party season perhaps new jewellery accessories are your answer. Elegant silver chokers in a simple Grecian style are now available from The Black Lace. One silver choker starts with a single circular ring around the neck. Attached to it in front is a small ring with three silver strands leading out. Extremely simple and youthful, but effective. Silver bracelets to match are also available. And you'll note the variety of both gold and silver pendants, costume jewellery, and gift items. Allow enough time for just looking at these new ideas in The Black Lace. Open Friday nights in Bells Arcade.
