BUBBLE BETTY

And now for something COMPLETELY different...

Say hello to Bubble Betty - a new Scottish brand which aims to bring back that "chic" vintage rainwear staple from the 50s - yes, the humble rain bonnet (or Rain Mate as my Grandma calls hers) and make it uber cool again.

No, seriously!

But we're not talking just any old clear, plastic rain bonnet, these ones have COOL PRINTS, YO, to make 'em chic and fashionable...

They also come in nifty wee tins to keep em safe in your handbag:

I was very kindly sent the red lace version to try out and while I'm really not sure this is my kind of thing, I can't dispute the sheer HANDINESS of something which, under Hurricane Bawbag-like conditions, manages to keep yer DO in place perfectly. A little weird to get used to but utterly practical and a godsend if you've just had your hair done and it's raining cats and dogs outside. Which, let's face it, it always is here in Glasgow.

I imagine the leopard-print or tattoo-print Bubble Bettys would be perfect for glamorous, vintagey/pin-up-esque girls who love a coiffed 50s do and red lip, or for folk who just can't bear wrestling with an umbrella.

Each Bubble Betty is priced at £6 and available to buy here.

What do you guys reckon - will the Bubble Betty catch on?

THE RETURN OF ITCOW

In The Company of Wolves returns tomorrow night! The Glasgow-based multimedia fashion show extraordinaire is back at the Sub Club once again to highlight and generally BIG UP the best in Scottish fashion and talent.

After last year's amazing David Lynch-inspired show (Twin Peaks-tastic!) this year's event pays homage to Dario Argento, John Carpenter and William Castle with a 70's b-movie inspired evening.

With visuals from Florence To, art work from Claudia Sharpe and Rachel Nova, and 17 designers taking to the catwalk with collections never seen before in Glasgow, tomorrow night is OAN like King Kong!

Bonnie Bling OCH! Necklaces. BB have designed a special Howler necklace exclusively for the event.

As part of the show, ITCOW have also collaborated with DIY Nails who have created bespoke ITCOW horror nails for the girls on the night, as well as designing some nails inspired by some of the designers in the show:

Samantha McEwan 'Isolated Heroes' inspired nails.

AND, all the models will be wearing customised Dawntroversial shoes to strut down the catwalk. You know Dawntroversial, right? She makes those UBER-HOT galaxy print shoes and wedges in a huge range of styles and colours you probably saw on Etsy or a thousand million Tumblrs...

Swoon, drool, faint, etc.

ITCOW tickets are available HERE. Snap em up before it sells out, Glasgow ladies! I'll see you there...

In the meantime here's a sneaky wee trailer for the In The Company of Wolves fashion film which will be featured on the night:
