Hat Bar @ Lively (a Shoe Boutique)
As we all know, the trend of hats has taken the fashion world by storm. I mean who doesn’t love hats? Don’t feel like washing your hair? Throw on a hat! Feel like your outfit is missing that extra va-va-voom? Throw on a hat! Hats are the perfect accessory to elevate ANY outfit. Lively fell in love with WYETH’s hats due to their modern takes on classic designs. Handmade with materials including natural 100% raffia straw, genuine suede leather, and soft Australian wool felt, WYETH’s versatile hats offer both quality and style which is why we thought they were the perfect fit for Lively.
Where did the idea for the hat bar come from?
Johnna, Misty, and Gina put their heads together to figure out a way to raise the bar to add something fun to our shoe boutique that would allow people to be creative and come together. And with that our hat bar was born. Our hat bar allows you to create an accessory that’s one of a kind and 100% tailored to your style. You can book an individual or group appointment with our hat stylist, Gina, to create the hat of your dreams!

Introducing the February Lively Lady: Gillian Arnwine!
Gillian and her family came to Durango 20 years ago to build and run the Durango Rapid Wash. Gillian and her husband have found themselves to suddenly be "empty nesters" as their children are grown (kind of) and off to pursue college and the workforce.
“I absolutely LOVE Lively for a lot of reasons, mostly for their urbane/casual style. I can find anything from cozy sweaters and sweats to sexy sequin pants and fun jewelry for a big night out! Coming from LA, I enjoy big city style but also live here in Durango so I cherish Lively's commitment to casual, low-stress apparel. I have recently found the new Lively shoe boutique, which is fast becoming my "go to" for all fashion footwear!”
