Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

Last weekend, we gathered a few friends and went for an outdoor adventure in the forest. It was great fun! It reminded me of the indie lifestyle that I used to lead before becoming a parent. What’s even more cool was that we got together during the break and a talented musician friend was strumming the guitar with his indie songs.

Few of our friends enjoy their indie lifestyle and they are known for trekkers, creative artists and travelers. It was great to learn about their expeditions in all their indie travels. One of them is a physical trainer who is always seen with his Kettlebell dumbbells but he had so much to share regarding his indie travels in Asia.

I got the chance to introduce The Indie Fashion Store to them since they were asking about where they could shop for Indie bags and clothing. It isn’t easy finding unique and quality ones unless you take the time to look for them. But with online shopping, buying indie clothing or bags is so convenient and easy. So if you are looking for indie tops, indie kids clothing or indie accessories, take a look at what the Indie Fashion Store has for you. Stay stylish and cool with what makes you happy.

I had a gathering with some old friends couple of months ago and a session like that brought back memories of how I used to adorn myself in indie clothing when I was a young adult.

At that time, indie clothing wasn’t that popular but being a design student, I got alot of inspiration from the students in the fashion department, which were always churning out creative works for their fashion shows. I did try to sew my own blouse at one time but never got round to finishing it! I am so glad that it is so easy to shop for indie clothing and fashion online these days. Believe me, you don’t need to wait for another retro movement to bring out your vintage blouse or skirt. Fashion is all about your individual flair and style, you don’t need to worry about what your friend is thinking about you.

In the late 80s where girls were wanting to stay so slim and started going on diet, this trend is still seen among many young girls. Well, appetite suppressants aren’t bad if you have an obese problem but everything should be done with great care. But you are dieting to fit into those cool clothes, don’t bother. You can find lots of indie fashion that is cool on style and you don’t need to be a size 8 to fit in. So start checking out on the indie clothing in the store and be yourself.

We were invited to a housewarming party couple of weeks ago. A couple friend of ours had just moved into their new home after tying the knot six month ago. These two lovely people enjoy indie fashion and as expected, their new house was filled with many indie furnishings and furniture including a few artisan items bought during their previous travels.

Being an outdoor person myself, I like the way the patio was designed. They had a couple of patio chairs with a lovely wood crafted table designed by an indie designer they met during one of their travels. The interiors of the rooms were also filled with beautiful paintings collected over the years. One look at the choice of furnishings and you could tell that everything in the house was original and unique. It took them some time to put everything together and the house was almost like a piece of art itself.

Shopping for artisan and indie products has been made easy with many online stores in the web. Technology has made it possible for artisans and designers all over the world to share their love and passion of art and indie fashion with more individuals who appreciate individuality and uniqueness.

Lately, I have been searching in the web for some great travel deals. Some of my indie friends are talking about searching for some backpacking destinations and they are geared for that indie lifestyle that spells freedom and creativity.

There are many things that people discuss about a backpacking trip. For some, it recalls urban backpacking culture, where men and women would crisscross the urban landscape with their backpacks, living without anything except what rests in their packs. Many backpackers are also known for slow travel experts too. Sometimes, a group of backpackers would go for apartments for rent but in most occasions, a backpackers lodge is preferred.

To others backpacking often refers to an intense, outdoor camping experience that is more than just an indie preference. A backpacking trip can often refers to a single weekend or a few months, depending on what the backpacker desires. Traveling by backpack can take you across the globe if you have the budget. A backpacker can enjoy the landscape and meet people on a personal basis at a slower pace. And that’s how the term slow travel is becoming popular.

There has been a significant increase in indie trips across places like southeast Asia. You may find backpackers in a truly wide variety of areas. Not only will they frequent the cities, but they will also head out into vast stretches of wilderness, displaying a truly formidable type of self-reliance. If you are interested in backpacking trips, don’t worry! There’s no need to start off in this fashion; you will find plenty of different opportunities to hit the trail, many of them no further than your own home grounds.

I’ve been thinking about a vacation this year end. Slow, indie travel sounds very tempting but it will be hard when I have a preschooler traveling with me.

Last year, I was planning to shop for some indie clothing when I was in Tokyo, Japan but my little one made it too hard for me to do that. Some of these indie stores are located in side and narrow streets which require one to climb a few flights of stairs. It was not feasible doing that with a kid. This is why I do most of the indie shopping online these days cos it’s so convenient! I even shop for designer t-shirts online whenever I need a creative and indie gift for my hubby.

Online shopping is my life saver when I became a mom cos I have practically not much time to browse and shop around in the malls or streets. With so many online stores in the web, you can buy the best eye wrinkle cream to the most unique indie jewelry piece. It makes comparison between products and prices alot easier.

I’m still searching for some indie travel in the web and reading reviews from travelers are helpful in all my travel decisions and planning. As for indie shopping online, get started in our indie store and check out some of the cool designers which promote green and eco clothing.
