SUNSHINE ILLUMINATES CHERRY CREEK NORTH
Cherry Creek North offers an almost overwhelming bounty of elegant and expensive niche shops. Storefront windows stack on top of each other, blurring into an endless sea of sequin-studded, gold-encrusted, costly fare. However, amid the elite couture chaos of 3rd Avenue sits a new attitude in the definition of a Cherry Creek boutique-- Sunshine. 
"People are really open to what we do," said Sunne Pollart, owner of the six-month-old Cherry Creek North location. "We carry the style of clothes that you have in your closet for everyday wear." Pollart opened the original Sunshine in Boulder four years ago, and wanted to open a second store in Denver. Pollart deemed Cherry Creek a solid shopping area and a good fit for Sunshine. "We have a lower price point than Cherry Creek is used to," Pollart said, "and I think that has worked in our favor." Unique to its neighborhood, Sunshine provides shoppers with trendy designs attached to a moderate price tag. Men's and women's clothing, select shoes, and a charmed accessory corner-- all add a colorful glow to the West Coast styled shop. But the true treasure at Sunshine is its vast selection of denim. 
"We try to do a little bit of everything, but our main concentration is on our jeans," Pollart said. "Purchasing a pair of jeans is like buying a bathing suit. We know our denim and can fit someone in the first two tries. We help to take the pain out of the experience." 
The boutique offers the denim stylings of Diesel, Levis Engineered, Levis Red, Miss Sixty, Mavi, and more. "We try to carry a full range of jeans from a $54 pair of Levis Engineered to a $179 Red line," Pollart said. "The Levis Red has made a huge splash in Cherry Creek-- it's a forward line and the people here understand it." Sunshine spreads a new light across the Cherry Creek North scene, and prides itself on a good selection with a clear understanding of its labels. The store equips shoppers with a fresh look and is also exceptionally fluent in the language of denim. "The brand Mavi is the super low jean that has become famous for its talking belly button commercials," Pollart explained. "Mavi also means 'blue' in Turkish, which could be very important in the event that you might ever be engaged in a game of Mavi trivia." --Kity Ironton The Cherry Creek North Sunshine is located at 3003 E. 3rd Ave. Call 303-393-1414 for more information.
