Tween Dreams

A new boutique focused on the tween and teen shopping experience opened in Laude at 9218 Clayton Road. CAKEWISH was developed by Brooke Ray after she found the experience of shopping for her daughter’s dance unfulfilling. The Parisian bakery-inspired shop features dressy clothes, casual separates, sleep, shoes and makeup and skin care products from brands like Sea, Cara Cara, Bell, Loveshack Fancy and Stoney Clover Lane.

Love Your Skin

Butter Love Skin has opened its first brick-and-mortar storefront at 2608 Cherokee St. Founded by La’Crassia Wilderness, the skin brand is focused on using natural oils and shea butter to nourish and care for skin. Along with the retail component, the space holds the company’s offices and production facilities.
