Boutique-hopping in Denver

Kristin Golden Image Consulting has named April as the first annual "boutique awareness month," and in honor of that, I thought I would give you my recommendations on the top boutiques in Denver. These boutiques range from inexpensive to designer, so there's something for everyone!

1) Goldyn Boutique - They have a great selection of designer items and have a great styling team there to help you with sizes and selections! This isn't your store if you're looking to find something for under $50 - but when you need (or want) something a little more designer or a little better quality, this is the first place I would check!
Check them out at: 2040 West 30th Avenue  Denver, CO 80211 or call (720) 489-0580.



2) Blush - This is a fun boutique in LoDo that does carry some designer brands but mixes it up with some more inexpensive pieces. Definitely worth checking out! 
Check them out at 1411 Larimer St  Denver, CO 80202 or call (303) 399-7779.



3) Delish Demure - This eclectic boutique in Greenwood Village is just that - eclectic. They have something for almost everyone and their prices range from affordable to "investment" price. 
Check them out at 8000 E Belleview Ave # D10  Greenwood Vlg, CO 80111 or call (303) 740-1100.

**I have to make a retraction - after an unpleasant shopping experience today, I must say that Delish Demure is no longer a boutique that makes the top of my list. While they do carry some nice brands and some cute items, the salespeople are extremely rude and do not have much consideration for the customers who are in there who don't show an obvious interest in spending a ton of money. Their prices are a bit higher than I remember as well. I don't like to have to make retractions like this - especially when it comes to local businesses but I firmly believe that the salespeople at Delish Demure are there strictly to take your money and they will treat you differently if they don't think that you have the money to spend. I would much rather shop at Goldyn or A-line for some investment pieces, rather than wasting my time with a horrible sales team at Delish Demure.**


4) Pink's Straight from LA - This boutique is located in Denver, on University near Bonnie Brae Ice Cream. It's a great stop for anyone looking to pick up some "trendy" pieces without spending a bunch. You can find fun and flirty pieces for under $50. I would recommend this to anyone looking for vacation attire, trendy "of the moment" clothes, or something that they don't mind letting go of in a year or two. One hesitation - it tends to cater to smaller sizes. While they do carry a good size range, many of their brands run a bit small. Still, it's worth a stop in!
Check them out at 745 South University Boulevard, Denver, Colorado 80209 or call (720) 570-2486.



5) Inspyre Boutique - This is another one of those fabulously inexpensive boutiques that carries a wide array of trendy pieces for under $50. If you are looking for a fun sundress to launch off your summer wardrobe or a cute new wardrobe for vacation, this place is worth checking out. 
Check them out at 2021  West 32nd Avenue, Denver, CO 80211 or call (303) 718-2645.



6) The Garment District - Once again, this is a shop that might require a few extra dollars but they do carry brands that will last for a good amount of time and they are great at helping you find your best fit!
Check them out at 2595 S. Colorado Boulevard, Denver, Co 80222 or call (303) 757-3371.



7) PJ's Boutique - This boutique is a fun little store down on Pearl Street in Denver. They carry a good selection of items and brands that cater to just about any budget. A big plus - the staff is super friendly and the location is great if you are looking for something else to do after you hit up the shop!
Check them out at 1509 South Pearl Street, Denver, CO 80210 or call (303) 777-8912.



8) The Blue Jean's Bar - It's not the most inexpensive place in Denver to get jeans BUT, if you are having a hard time finding jeans that fit, than this is a great stop. They carry a large number of brands and their staff is pretty knowledgable for the most part. Aside from denim, they carry some fun shoes and accessories, as well as some pretty cute clothes. I'd rate it at an average price range - but it's a store you will want to visit at least once! 
Check them out at 250 Fillmore Street, Denver, CO 80206 or call (720) 542-3756. 


9) Roxy Boutique - This boutique has now expanded to two Denver locations. While it originally started as a boutique in Vail (and then Beaver Creek), they have brought their product down to Cherry Creek North and LoDo. Some pieces are marked up a bit too high but they do have the greatest selection of Michael Stars that I have ever seen (which is great if you are looking for some good quality basics).
Check out either one of their Denver locations at:
2549 Welton Street, Denver, CO 80202 or call them at (720) 381-6420 OR 2628 E. 3rd Avenue, Denver, CO 80206 or call them at (303) 316-7774.




10) A-Line Boutique - This is a beautiful boutique located in Greenwood Village. While the styles are a little more fashion-foward and the price point is a bit higher, you can find some great "investment pieces" at this store. I love their selection and their staff is so friendly and helpful. (Just don't expect to walk out with multiple pieces without spending a couple hundred dollars). 
Check them out at 5375 Landmark Pl # 107  Greenwood Vlg, CO 80111 or call (303) 773-8200.



11) The Crazy Merchant - As I have written about them before, they are a great place to go to get your fix of "Fashion Jewelry." They are known for they're beading and "crafty" jewelry but they also have some really great "off the shelf" pieces at great prices. One of the best things - if you can't find something you like, they'll make it for you! 
Check them out at 1700 West Belleview Avenue  Littleton, CO 80120 or call them at (303) 761-6100.



Happy Boutique hopping! Don't forget, for this month, you can purchase four hours of boutique shopping for $250!
