The Hills Are Alive

Today I did another shop update and I'm really excited with the addition of my beloved shapeshifters.

I call these poncho style garments 'shapeshifters' cause not only are they reversible but you can transform it into a dress by simply slipping your arm through the neck-hole and nipping the fabric in with a funky belt.

It is such a versatile item of clothing but more to the point it is awesome fun both styling and wearing it.

The ones that are up for grabs at the moment (bar the sun-glo vintage brocade one) are second-hand but still in excellent condition, however I am working on a few more that will be exclusively for the shop.

I have been sourcing fabulous fabrics for years and the time has come to get creative with them.

With the shop update comes yet another lookbook, this one is entitled 'The Hills Are Alive' and was shot in Glen Coe in the stunning Highlands of Scotland...enjoy ;)

The new shapeshifters will be in the shop within the next few days. 

I've made two already but haven't had the time to photograph them yet.

I'm slowly building up the stock in the shop, four more items to add and there will be fifty and then I think we might have to have a bit of an end of summer sale :)

Take care peeps.

Lot's of love,

The Highlander

This time last week we were on our way up to Scotland. 

At the midway stop hubby and I sat and pondered over how many times we'd made that journey and all the times that we'd said we'd never take the night bus again.

Yes, we say that next time we'll be smart and book in advance and get a "cheap" train fare but it never quite happens like that cause we always leave it that little bit too late and therefore we always end up going by the dungeon on wheels that is the Megabus overnighter. 

Maybe we have slight masochistic tendencies? 

I mean why else would we put ourselves through the ten hour  nightmare of  torturous neck stiffness, raging restless legs, excruciating arse ache and coffee that tastes like it has been sieved though a pair of grotty old pants?

 Not to mention the fact that when you finally reach your destination you feel as if you have been travelling all scrunched up in a suitcase like some contortionist from a  freak show and it takes a good couple of days to get back to normal and then you have to do it all over again to get back home, och!

My neck is almost back to its "crickless" old self  but it has to be said that I actually recuperate faster from jet-lag  than I do from the dreaded Megabus-lag.

Next time we are planning to go up north I will superglue a note to my forehead reading... 

"BUY TRAIN TICKETS YOU SILLY BAG".

I've finished editing all the photos that we took in Glen Coe last Saturday morning, some are for the shop but these ones we took just for fun...

I made a little slideshow for my folks that you can take a wee peek at should you wish to, it's less than a minute long and it's just a few more pics than the ones above...

The song is by a really talented Danish singer songwriter called Allan Nordkvist, you can listen to the song in its entirety here...

...it's awesome, I really love his voice!

That's it for today folks, hope you are all doing grand and feeling dandy :)

Friday is here...HUZZAH!

Lot's of love,

Jennie
