Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

Have you ever have the experience of running out of system memory when you are rushing for time and everything seems a hurry? Well, this is what I’m experiencing right now with my other computer.

I was determined to search for indie works and designers during my trip in Tokyo and my computer is playing up at the most inappropriate time! Well, now I can only hope that my PC wil be restored when I get some help from the IT guys in the hotel. Arrgrrrh, what a time to have things falling apart – not during my vacation at least!

This is my third night in Tokyo. I have waited for more than nine months for this trip and I’m finally here in Tokyo. ACtually, I meant to look out for some indie designers’ stuff this trip but somehow, I can’t seem to find any time for that since I landed here!

I’m glad DH has gotten the computer memory and cables all ready, just so that I can connect to the internet and do some search online for japanese indie stuff. It hasn’t been that easy traveling with a four year old and navigating around the train lines in Tokyo but it’s been very fun.

Till then, I’ll continue my search for indie designers in Harajuku when I return from Osaka! Have a good Sunday!

The online retail industry is growing daily, despite the sluggish economic outlook. Search in the web and you can find almost anything under the sun. I mean – anything! From handmade jewelry to natural health therapies, to best fat burners, to eco friendly toys, there are more shopping options than you expect or ask for.

Even when it comes to selecting indie designer cards, the choices abound and you can find in etsy and also supermarkethq.com. For handmade jewelry, check out Novica.com. Like things a little bit different, indie design is the way to go!

More and more people are choosing natural treatments instead of invasive ones these days. With more natural therapists and those who embrace natural and home remedies, people are finding wellness help with more organic treatment options.

Instead of choosing chemicals and drugs for treatment, physical conditions like : Plantar Fasciitis, migraines, restless leg syndrome and many others can be treated with wellness oils. If you often experience an irritating sensation to move your legs or an uncomfortable sensation in your legs and or the need to get up and walk, then you may be sufffering from restless leg syndrome. This can also refer to a jerking movement in your legs or arms, especially when you lie down to rest or sleep.

If you are a believer that modern medicines start from nature, then it’s time to check out natural treatments at Nature’s Inventory from  now.

We are planning to do up our guest room in time for our relatives who will be visiting this Christmas. I started from discount furniture online stores to check out some furniture ideas for the guest room.

I am hoping to find some handmade decorations for the guest room to add little touches to the interiors. One of the great places to find artistic ideas other than etsy would be Supermarket (http://www.supermarkethq.com) and Wrapables. With these online stores, you can pick and choose your decorations and let your creative juices flow as you decide on the interiors. Save up to 60% off on everything at Wrapables.

Whenever I feel like I need a bit of girlish inspiration, I love browsing through the web for jewelry and accessories and one of my favourite online indie store is Novica.

You can find all sorts of unique handicrafts and artistic finds in Novica from handmade jewelry to hand crafted home and living products. I find the handmade jewelry very appropriate for weddings and special occasions. In fact, they made great gift ideas too. Besides a wide collection of jewelry, Novica has lots of talented designers and indie artists from all over the world and I find it a great place to shop for gift ideas for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings…etc. As thanksgiving and Christmas draws nearer, this may be a good place to start your festive shopping… you will sure to find great gift ideas for those who appreciate handmade and unique Clothing and Accessories from around the world!

With the weather cooling down, I’m taking out all my wintry clothings and getting ready for winter. I was planning to knit a new scarf or wool vest but I doubt I’d have the time to do that before the season begins!

Last winter, my cousin bought a pair of UGG Knightsbridge and it’s still fresh in my mind. It is one pair of winter boots I like for cool months and wintry days. I wonder if there is any indie designer out there who can craft a shoe similar to UGG! For what I know, there are lots of indie clothing designers but not shoe ones. Perhaps I should check out etsy or other indie shopping sites and who knows, I may discover more indie designers with special niches.

When it comes to dressing up the home and living areas, there are so many things we can do for the house. I was into handmade candles at one point and loved shopping for handmade candles for the home’s interiors.

It is nice to light up a beautifully crafted candle in the evenings especially when you are inviting friends for a dinner or gathering. Candles can bring such nice touches to the home interiors. Pillar candles or floating candles are popular among wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions as they add so much to the ambience. Some home makers like to add candles as part of their bathroom vanities. Even as the holiday season draws near, handmade candles are great to enhance the holiday mood and festive cheer as families and friends come together for a time of reunion.
