face brush, is valued at $250 but

For a woman who loved movies
such as Room with a View,
Howard’s End and Enchanted
April, choose romantic 1[900s-
styled clothes.

Designs reminiscent of the early
Art Nouveau era are shown this
season by firms such as Part Two,
Susan Bristol and Hyde and Silk
Co., available at LeslieJane in
West Vancouver.

Hyde and Silk produces simple
long skirts, jumpers and vests in
heavy, washable linen in natural
shades of eggplant, olive, oatmeal
and indigo for $90 to $145.

Susan Bristol shows pretty
beaded sweaters and organza
blouses or cosy lined sweaters in
rich florals for $185 and up.

everything, Birks is a good spot to
find a gift.

Wonderful opera glasses with

mother of pearl trim are $135 and
refined gold metal opera glasses
are $130.

Innovative perfume pens that
look like a quality fountain pen
are in a variety of colors, com-

perfume, and can be carried in a
purse or your pocket for $17.

crackle-effect crystal, cut crystal
or black onyx looks are available
for $12 to $35. Vintage-styled
brush and hand-mirror sets with
fine embroidered backs on gold or

designer fleece from Gauche
Designs, a new shop which has
opened at the Lonsdale Quay
Market. Designer Rachelle
Desforges Wendt, who opened a
store in Deep Cove earlier this
year, is producing thick, soft cot-

or hobby? Is she always losing
something, which could be easily
organized and stored with a
special box or filing compart-
ment? is she always ‘‘making do”’
with a certain kitchen utensil, tool
or toiletry?

Gift certificates for pampering
at a beauty salon are always a
good alternative. Indulge her in a
massage, facial, manicure or pedi-
cure.

Staying with the theme of
relaxation and stress release, why
not tickets to a special fashion
event, a play or symphony, a
voucher for dinner at a fashion-
able restaurant, membership at a

fitness or community centre? Or
sign her up for an interesting lec-
ture series or workshop.

If you can score with a teenage
girl on the right gift, you'll gain
points that will last you until next
year. For this challenge, be in
touch with your teen.

Notice if she has changed her
style recently. Hints will subtly
start coming in from all direc-
tions, so pay atiention to them, or
ask someone else who may know.

Since young fashion fads are in
and out before you've heard
about them, don’t take the chance
and buy when it may already be
off the mark to your teen.
