For sisters Marla Bednarsh and Alisa
Berke, finding high quality, unique clothing
for their kids was sometimes a huge chal-
lenge. The two wanted to find clothing that
expressed individual style and identity.
While shopping one day for clothes for
their own kids and not really finding what
they wanted, inspiration hit and the two
decided the only way to find what they
wanted for their kids was to open their own
specialty clothing boutique — hence the
idea for Peek-A-Bootique (248-935-4503) at
the Boardwalk Shopping Center on Orchard
Lake Road,south of Maple, West Bloofmield.
The 1,400-square-foot Peek-A-Bootique

location, which is opening July 21, will
feature 50 designer brands like Monster
Republic, Sister Sam, Childish, Tractor, Wes
& Willy, Charlie Rocket, Tease, One Kid, PJ
Salvage, Gold Rush and Cotton Caboodle
as well some new names like Shrnk, Amber
Hagen, Pinc, Pamela Jo, Okkies, Kaos, Angel
Dear and Jannuzzi.
Price points will range from around $20-
$30 for basic tops and pants with an average
price of about $30 to $60. Special occasion
dresses and outfits can run around $100
and up. Exclusive gifts including cashmere
blankets and wraps can run $200 and up.
Another feature will be a special kids area.
"Kids in this area, like their parents, like
to look good',' says Bednarsh. "Their moms
and dads are mid- to high-income profes-
sionals and like to have designer brands, as
do their kids. Being parents of two small
kids each, Alisa and I know how difficult it
is to find new and different styles for babies
and kids up to age ten. Our motivation was
almost selfish, as we wanted a place to find
great styles for our own little ones too. In
addition, we wanted to create an atmosphere
that not only supplied great clothing and
gifts, but also had a very personal feel to it:'
