Yee-haw! On Location behind the scenes at the Autumn/Winter 2011 Photoshoot- Glasgow's Grand Ole Opry

Sunday, October 30, 2011
We recently shot our new campaign for Autumn/Winter 2011 on location at the iconic Grand Ole Opry in Glasgow. The Americana backdrops, stage and luscious red upholstery made a stunning back drop for all the lovely winter pieces that will be available online soon.



It was great to work with Gillian Hayes from Dapple Photography on another successful shoot. Gillian has a great knack of capturing the feeling of each {Think} Boutique collection exactly as we envisaged it! 



Hair was once again in the capable hands of Dawn Murray at Westend Hair. By far our favourite look of the day was this funky bob, it was perfect for showing off the red Antiform cape in style!

Spring Summer Photography Part 1

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

This season we decided to take our photoshoot on location. We worked with photographer Gillian Hayes of Dapple Photography to come up with locations that great backdrops to show off the clothes and were in keeping with the ethos of {Think} Boutique.

Our first location was 'Dear Green Place' the home of Glasgow Wood Recycling a social enterprise that produce home and garden reclaimed wood products. As well as the environmental credentials of their products Glasgow Wood Recycling also provide volunteer and training opportunities to local people, as a practical way of tackling poverty and social exclusion.  The yard is full of nooks and crannies, interesting objects and great back drops so it was the perfect location for our first shoot.





A touch up from our fab hair and makeup artist Colette from Richardson Murray in Kelvinbridge. Quite a challenge working outside with no electricity but a gorgeous result as usual!


Gillian climbs up to get the right angle!


Who said being a photographer on a fashion shoot is a glamorous job!

We loved the contrast of this acid green bird house, fuchsia skirt and canary yellow top against the plywood back drop it really pops!


There were loads of cute props for our model Eilidh to use this sweet bike with flowers growing in the basket was just too perfect for the Adela dress!


The ends of the wooden boards all piled up make such an interesting back drop for the floral wrap skirt, just add wellies!


Eildih strikes a pose between piles of planters!


It was a freezing cold day and EIlidh still managed a few laughs, mainly down to Garry's jokes! 

This is one of our favourite images of the day the paper bag shorts look great!

You can check out all the other images throughout the website too!

Winter Chill!

Monday, November 08, 2010

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!
