Only one thing is as consuming as fashion for Carie Cook and Amy White —their families. So when the friends decided to open a women's boutique, they did it with moms in mind. The result: Lemon Meringue, a posh shop —with its sparkly chandeliers and buttery walls —that's also relaxed, and very family-friendly.

These women know that a mom-to-be craves style, so they offer a tempting selection of designer maternity clothes, alongside luxurious Bella Materna nursing and maternity lingerie and Nest Whipstitch Leather diaper bags. Outfit Little One with cozy-cute hats by Zooni and an array of adorable tees. The kids' table offers plenty to play with so that Little One is occupied while you explore the rest of the boutique, too. You'll find great-fitting jeans and fashion tops, and the belts, hats, purses, and jewelry to complete your hip and comfy look.

Because the owners love fashion so much, they're constantly on the prowl for new favorite brands. You never know what you'll find, and it's never the same shop twice. The whipped cream on top? Carie and Amy realize that not all women are teeny-tiny (especially post-Baby), so they offer lines with generous sizing and are expecting shipments of plus-size tops and bottoms from Kiyonna and other leading brands any day now. Sweet, indeed.
