The store features "designer costume jewelry and handbags," but there are other accessories, like scarves, available for purchase. A dog groomer also is coming to Short Hills. Style'N Canine received approval from the zoning board of adjustment earlier this month to open shop at 36 Chatham Road, which is across the street from the Short Hills train station. Grooming will be by appointment only, according to the information provided to the zoning board, and there will be a retail section of the 825-square-foot shop.

The yoga studio is the first stand-alone facility in Millburn-Short Hills.
Betsy Davis and Christine Gatti met at a yoga class in Manhattan, and both area residents were commuting into New York either for classes or, in Davis' case, to teach classes. They got to talking about how there was not a stand-alone yoga studio in Millburn-Short Hills. And thus Bhakti Barn Yoga Studio was born. The two women co-own the 8-month-old studio, which is located on Spring Street in downtown Millburn. Davis has been practicing yoga for 12 years and teaching for 10. “I was going through a major transition in my life, and recovering from a breakup," she said. "I found that yoga helped me.” The other six teachers at Bhakti Barn have all trained under Davis. They practice Vinayssa yoga, which is a style of yoga where movement …

The home design center is part of Suburban Paint on Main Street.
Maura Buckley grew up in Millburn's Wyoming section, so when she came up with the idea of Etc. it was natural to take her concept to a former elementary school classmate, Steve Marketta, whose family has owned Suburban Paint since 1948. "Our paths have crossed many times," Buckley said. "Suburban used to be a guy's club, and it has a loyal following. But Steve and I thought there could be even more opportunities." Her objective was to come in and upgrade the shop's services. Working with Jane Maguire Gross, her friend and business partner, Buckley offers a slew of services under one roof—almost anything under a creative umbrella. Etc. works with a tightly edited group of kitchen designers, artisans and artists. "We bill by the hour and …

The new learning center is open in Short Hills and will hold an open house on Saturday.
If a student is struggling in school, local parents may decide to send them to a tutor to help them do better in class. But a new learning service in Short Hills is striving to correct the core problems that may cause a student to have trouble in school. "We are not a tutoring service," said Monica Spence, LearningRX director. "We start at the core." Children work on core skills, like reading, in kindergarten through second grade. But if there are hiccups and problems in those early grades, they never really are fixed, she said. "They may not reach their full potential," she said. Spence said her daughter was struggling in school after working with lots of one-on-one tutors, which had minimal results. She took her to the LearningRX center …
