Happening This Weekend - 9/6/2019

Plenty to do this weekend in and around Beacon! The shops we stopped into today (Luxe Optique, Zakka Joy, Darryl's Clothing Boutique, Beacon Barkery) are full, though you might not have thought, as the sidewalk was light with walkers. It was because the shoppers were inside! There is so much for you to find in Beacon. Tag us during your adventures!

Meow! The faux animal print is in at Darryl's Clothing Boutique! The boutique is loving fall, and you will love the jackets you see in there, both cropped and shaped. This off-the-shoulder dress from designer Eva Varro is a show-stopper, as are the other dresses - and the black belts with cool hardware that you can decorate with. Do check these out in person...



 



Luxe Optique
183 Main Street

Look up close at the white side of this frame: it is granite, from the Hong Kong-based design house Rigards. Available now in white or black at Luxe Optique. Usually the side eye shade is soft, but not this rock-hard design. As delicate as they look, Rigards are created to be collector's items, to be worn and handed down to the next generation.

HEADLINE NEWS FROM OUR SPONSORS

 
Antalek & Moore
Antalek & Moore Insurance Agency has a special reminder for you regarding kid and bus safety now that school has started: "Share the road with school buses. We know the first few days take a little longer to get the kids loaded, but be patient! Who doesn't love a good first day back-to-school picture with their kids waving from the bus? According to the National Safety Council, the most dangerous area for children is within 10 feet of their bus. So give them space to load and unload. This is especially true in the first few weeks of school as kids are excited and getting used to this year's routine."
