Well, I do what I like – online shopping, that is! That must be one of the most relaxing thing for me. I was trying to shop for a merino jacket but it’s just hard to find the right one! The internet is full of resources, from football games to dating sites – everything is at your fingertips and there is so much information. Sometimes I can suffer from information overload!

I think I can never get enough of shopping. Now I am looking for a good website to shop for cheap merino clothing!

My trip to Hong Kong was very nice and I did some good shopping. The food was good and I loved the culture, the surroundings and accessibility but I didn’t enjoy the pollution I managed to visit a nice fashion boutique called 45R which was very popular in Japan. The clothing was unpretentious, hip, classy and simply chic. It wasn’t cheap but the cut and design was nice. I wished I had time to visit the other boutique in Star Street but it was just too short a time to hunt for it.

I stayed in a nice serviced apartment that was well located near the MTR and even though there wasn’t any outdoor electric grills, it had some complimentary washing at the rooftop. That was a nice thing to have when you don’t have to bring too many clothing. The next time I visit Hong Kong, I will drop by Central to look for some indie fashion labels. Local designer stores are usually located at second or higher floors so it can be hard to find them. It looks like I would need to do more research next time.

I’m off for a short five days vacation tomorrow and would hope to shop around for some Indie gifts when I’m on holiday. Take a look around the Indie Fashion Store if you need ideas for the coming Christmas gifting. I can’t tell you how convenient and easy it is to shop online!

If your child has sensitive skin, then you may want to take a good at organic cotton clothing too. Organic kids clothing usually use soy-based inks for printed colors and graphics. Cotton grown in a certified organic farm is used for these organic clothing. I do agree that they are dearer compared to normal kids clothing. But going organic is one way to support eco living principles if you can afford it. Thankfully, more designers are jumping onto the organic and eco bandwagon which can bring down the prices of these clothing.

For so others, going organic in everything is as important as getting a life insurance coverage for the entire family. Doctors have encouraged organic food eating for sickly patients and some others have found their health improving after switching to organic skin care. For me, it’s important to do it when you are comfortable about it, especially on the issue of affordability. It’s really a matter of priority at the end of the day.

In the world of fashion, there is always a fad and fashion cycles do exist. So don’t throw away your ‘outdated’ bell bottom pants or hipster skirt cos they will be the talk of the town years later (if you still fit!). Drawing from Kenley Collins and the ladies of Mad Men, the fashion world is turning its eyes to feminine-fitted dresses with classy belle skirts. Max and Cleo has a nice range of cocktail dresses that can make eyes turn. We had a discussion on social security disability one afternoon and then the topic strayed away to a discussion on indie dresses and skirts. ModCloth Super Sale.

I’ve always love comfy , light and casual tops that aren’t pretentious or complicated. Simplicity is the key to indie fashion and I do appreciate those with a touch of uniqueness and individuality. Fair enough, everyone has his own taste when it comes to clothing. When we were renovating, it took both hubby and myself a couple of weeks to select the faucets we wanted for our house – we both had such differing views and tastes!

If you like indie tops that can take you from day to night, Designer Sara Kirsner’s label ‘Doie’ has some nice pieces. She created this clothing line after interning for DKNY and Marc Jacobs and freelancing in the design department at Anne Taylor. Doie was born from the idea that it is possible to be stylish and comfortable while still helping to protect the environment. Each versatile piece is made from a combination of bamboo jersey, an incredible soft and breatheable earth-friendly fabric, and 100% silk trim. These pieces transition from day to night and from lounging to lunching. Doie is made from the finest fabrics and is made in New York City.

If that’s not indie fashion, what else is?

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.
