Things have been really busy at {Think} Boutique recently! Following the success of our last Pop Up Shop in May we have decided to once again take our 'online' collections 'offline' with our latest Pop up launching on the 3rd November, just in time for the Autumn Winter season and Christmas!  It's a great way for us to spread the {Think} message as well as meet our lovely customers and get a little bit festive in the lead up to Christmas! This time we have teamed up with our friends and experts in hair and beauty at West End Hair on Great Western Road in Glasgow, setting up shop at the front of their salon, with the {Think} team getting to work last week on transforming the  front space from a former salon reception into an ethical fashion haven! 

It was a lot of hard work but the space as well as the collection are both looking amazing, with our newly installed window displays brightening up the shop front as well as the now dark and cold street outside!

We rewarded oursleves for all our hard work on opening night, enjoying some festive mulled wine with our loyal {Think} customers and showing off our lastest collection full of winter warmers and outfits that would look great at any Christmas party as well as some gorgeous accessories which will make the perfect gifts this Christmas, all of course with an ethical fashion twist!

We hope you can pop in and see us at 487 Gt Western Road, Glasgow from now until 23rd December where we will be spreading the ethical fashion love as well as some festive cheer and if you can't make it to the Pop Up Shop be sure to check out the collection online now!

Things have been a bit quiet here on the {Think} blog for a while as we have been busy welcoming our newest member of the {Think} Boutique team! Seen here doing his bit for {Think} Boutique promotion, Ellis James arrived safe and well on 19th July 2011!



So after this brief baby hiatus I'm so excited to get back to all things {Think}, with Ellis as my new assistant of course!

Its shaping up to be another amazing season ahead with all the gorgeous new pieces we have lined up for Autumn/Winter and some interesting projects in the pipe line. So, as they say, watch this space!

Christmas night out? Don't ruin the perfect party dress with your old parka, go for this season's slow burning hit, the cape! Both dressy and cosy, the cape is having a moment in these chilly December days!



First seen all over the AW10/11 catwalks the cape provides a great throw-on instant update for any outfit and looks equally glam with jeans and heels or as the perfect party cover up.



The Think Boutique Tara Starlet Cosy Cape £95 is a winner here at {Think} HQ especially with the recent plummeting temperatures, made from 100% wool with sweet velveteen collar and satin ribbon details it's keeping us looking glam in the cold! With its timeless vintage style the Cosy Cape is ethically produced in London keeping its carbon footprint low. Wear with cosy mohair accessories for extra warmth!

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!

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!
