As Christmas fast approaches the invitations start to arrive for all those party nights and Christmas dos! We don't know about you but the first thing that we think about about here at {Think} HQ when an invite lands on mat is 'what will I wear?'

Having several occasions plus the big day itself to plan for, it makes sense that any purchases you make in aid of the festive season are versatile and will stand the test of time! That's why this Christmas at Think Boutique we will be adding a Tara Starlet party dress to our wardrobe.



Red Satin Sweetheart with Gold Lace shoulder detail £85 worn with Tartan Bow Brooch £15

With gorgeous vintage styling, a Tara Starlet dress will stand the test of time. After all, real style never goes out of fashion! What's more these dresses look equally gorgeous dressed up with your highest heels and sparkliest jewels as dressed down with a cardi and pumps.

What makes the Tara Starlet range even more appealing is the fact that each product is made using end of roll fabrics, putting to good use what would otherwise be waste, and making it a limited edition! Plus it was made locally in London, minimising the garment’s carbon footprint.

So enjoy a bit of glamour this Christmas and make a positive statement at the same time!

As the temperature drops here at Think Boutique we are wrapping up to face the elements in style!

New in Miksani knitwear has arrived just in time to fight the winter blues and we are especially loving the jumper dresses for a warm but stylish look. The matching legwarmers provide that extra layer of cosy mohair too, great over leggings or tights!

Miksani Grey Panel Jumperdress £70


Miksani Black Legwarmers £30

Miksani knitwear is handknitted in Nepal by World Fair Trade Certified producers using finest 100% mohair - cosy and kind!

We are also loving the Lowie accessories range for the toasty and gorgeous look! Especially the Cosy Cream Snood in 100% soft virgin wool the Snood is hand-knitted in China where Lowie strive to help local workers maintain their traditional skill sets and lifestyles by ensuring they can work from home. This stops workers having to move from their villages into larger towns for work and boosts the local economy.


Lowie Cosy Cream Snood £80

Equally gorgeous and equally cosy from Lowie is the Nordic Range with stunning fairisle designs knitted in the softest 100% Merino wool again knitted in China by fair-paid workers. Our personal favourite is the cute earmuffs, matching scarf and mittens.


Lowie Cream Nordic Earmuffs £35


Lowie Nordic Cream Mittens £43


Lowie Nordic Cream Scarf £65

So there is no reason to stay indoors this Winter! Wrap up warm and look glam!

Its essential that every woman's wardrobe has a little black dress. Since its introduction by Coco Chanel in the 1920s its been the go-to item for all occasions and the chicest way to get dressed in throw-it-on and ready style! Vogue described it as a "....uniform for all women of taste".




Audrey Hepburn's iconic LBD look.



The LBD lives on featuring on the AW 10/11 catwalk.



The {Think} LBD takes the form of this gorgeous pleat pencil dress, nicknamed the Audrey dress here at {Think} HQ as we can imagine the first lady of LBDs slipping quite comfortably into this black organic merino wool number! The fabric is soft and light to touch but warm to wear making this a winter wardrobe essential for this winter and many to come! 



Enjoy!

So we did it... Think Boutique launched in style on Friday night!

Watch the video



The unit we used for the launch was completely empty, (not even running wateror electricity) so it was no mean feat to convert it into the stylish venue it became for the night! Thanks to our amazing team of family and friends who were there first thing on the day of the launch unloading and setting up everything from lights, generators, glasses and tables to fabric and wood for the changing room area and of course all the lovely stock.

    

An amazing structure made out of wood donated by Glasgow Wood Recycling became the backstage area with strips of black and yellow tape forming the catwalk. The bar area and pop-up shop took their places against the huge glass windows - the once deserted unit was shaping up for a party!



So all the hard work over, it was time to enjoy the party. DJ Affi Koman kicked the evening off as guests began to arrive. 



The lucky ones got a fantastic goodie bag packed with ethical lifestyle products.



Revellers browsed the pop-up shop with a glass of Fairtrade/Organic wine or some delicious Angel Organic lager and a yummy canape from the 1901 Deli.






As darkness fell the ethical fashion show got under way with all our gorgeous models looking good and strutting their stuff like professionals in a selection of pieces from the {Think} Boutique collection! 















The collection got a great reaction from the crowd!

It was an amazing night, a fitting way to mark the beginning of things to come for {Think} Boutique, I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did! Until the next party!
