Greer’s Best Buys:

Peek ... Aren’t You Curious is a children’s apparel store at Fashion Island, as well as an online boutique, that appeals to parents for its high quality standards: details, fine materials and interesting finishing work, never losing sight of what kids want, too — cool graphics, style and comfort.

Sizes run from newborn to children size 10. Choose from tops, tees, pants, shorts, outerwear, skirts and dresses. And a new line of boys’ message tees (and 2-in-1 thermals) will be hitting the store today, paying homage to history’s great thinkers, including Galileo, Einstein, Copernicus, Sir Isaac Newton and Descartes. Retail prices range from $34 to $38.

Peek ... Aren’t You Curious is offering a 10% discount on the tees if you bring in the Best Buys column.

The store is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Fashion Island in Newport Beach.
