After lots of hard work our very first {Think} Boutique Pop Up Shop officially opened this week here in our home town of Glasgow. Its a great chance to get out and meet some of our customers, spread the word about {Think} and to have some fun (hopefully in the sun)! 


We're popping up for 6 weeks with our summer stock so it made sense to make summer in the city the theme for our shop fit so we put lots of effort into sourcing appropriately summery items to give our shop a quirky, fun look! 






One of our favourite items is our cute picnic hamper. We overcame the temptation to fill it with snacks and head to the park when the sun came out and used it for displaying our scarves and bags instead!


The changing areas continue the summer holiday theme with retro cruise poster screens!


Who needs sunshine to sit on the lawn in a deckchair!


Retro suitcases make a great display for our sweet Luva  Huva underwear!


Beautiful ethically made planters filled with gorgeous tulips courtesy of our friends at Glasgow Wood Recycling the perfect summery finishing touch to the window display!

We hope you can pop in to see us at 1060 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8LY where we'll be popping up until 30th May!  We look forward to welcoming you in!

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!

A chance to visit one of Europe's most stylish cities, a whole section of fashion week dedicated to international eco-fashion, a city break to break up the long dull month of January? Yes please! Berlin fashion week, I was there like a shot to seek out some great new brands for {Think} Boutique!

With a choice of destinations to seek out gorgeous ethical fashion from all over Europe we started with the Green Showroom. Set inside the stunning Aldon Hotel right on Berlin's main avenue Under den Linden it was fun seeing inside some of the hotels gorgeous executive rooms and viewing gorgeous ethical fashion laid out on beds, hanging in wardrobes and even on top of the bath!

The plush setting for the Green Showroom.

Accessories displayed on top of baths and beds!

Next stop on the ethical fashion trail was thekey.to. This well established ethical fashion event embraced ethical in every aspect of its being from the recycled Christmas trees that lined the entrance hall and restaurant to the recycling workshops and dedicated hybrid shuttle service to the city centre. Plus of course another great selection of ethical fashion.

We did take time after all the fashion to take in some of Berlin's cultural sights too and of course to enjoy the city's buzzing shops and nightlife.

The Stirling prize nominated Neues Museum.

The Holocaust Memorial.

TV Tower, the best way to find your bearings in Berlin - just look for the tower!

Before we knew it was was time to go and we left Berlin feeling inspired by such a stylish city and with some great new brands for {Think} Boutique!

Until next time.....

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!
