We have a thing about tortoiseshell barrettes. We don't know why, because we don't really have a thing about either tortoiseshell or barrettes, but the particular array of tortoise-shell barrettes on the counter at Nau Enfield Drug made a convert of us. Just check out the Fifties-style (prob-ably Fifties vintage, in fact) glass-fronted display case full of clips, clasps and combs mounted on blue velvet. You can't help but realize you're in the presence of an utter fashion classic.
