Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

I admire designers with a huge philosophy especially one that seeks to impact the society and the environment we live in. I discovered Nau.com while browsing an article on recycling and eco consciousness while waiting for my hair cut. The website of nau.com by itself is unique and well done. With a strong philosophy to embrace change and balancing on the principles of beauty, performance and sustainability. The designers behind Nau have set their focus on using environmental friendly fabrics on their range of elegant products for both men and women, featuring jackets, skirts, dresses, tops, pants..etc.

During the tea party in my aunt’s house, the main topic of discussion had been on revision rhinoplasty Los Angeles and Beverly Hills especially when aunt had just had her botox lately. I supposed this group of mid age ladies had much in common as everyone was lamenting about their wrinkles, crow’s feet and sagging skin. Then they turned their attention to me and ask about the organic cotton and hemp skirt I was clad in.

As much as I couldn’t understand their strong concerns about beauty, they didn’t understand my strong passion for organic cotton clothing. The Scrunch Ankle Free Movement pant/skirt from Gaia Conceptions is one of my faves. It is so versatile that I can leap, hop, jump, dance, shop, kick and do a head stand with it! The most versatile garment ever created by designer Andrea, these pants scrunch up the ankle to give the appearance of a skirt while still maintaining the freedom of a pant. Inspired by her travels through India these pants are designed to move you effortlessly through your day. Oh, and it’s great for expectant moms too!

While attending a talk on Los Angeles labia reduction procedure, my girl cousin happened to sit next to this lady who is a fan of indie stuff.
