Introducing Indie Fashion Store 0

Posted on June 24, 2009 by dorischua

Finally, the long awaited task of getting my indie clothing store is finally done! In the last week, I have been busy selecting and adding the right products for my indie fashion store and I’m really glad that it is now live!

After much search in the web, I have picked out a few indie designer and lifestyle merchants with nice designs and cool products. For now, you will find many indie dresses from ModCloth and I’ll be adding the jewelry and gift items in the next few days. I have also included organic clothing, green clothing, hemp clothing and eco friendly products in the store and most of them are designed and produced by indie designers and artists.

Indie artists should be supporters of eco friendly products and we should play our part to protect Mother Earth. I am impressed by many indie jewelry designers who tap on their creative potential and use recycled materials for their jewelry pieces. This is an innovative way to promote eco friendliness and a responsible way to display creativity.

In fact, we try to support independent companies these days even when it comes to making decisions on auto insurance quotes, we prefer to work with family run firms instead of conglomerates. There are many indie companies that need our support in the offline and online world.

So please stop by our Indie Fashion Store where indie lifestyle begins online. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to drop us a comment.

Summer is here and so are the vacations! This morning, I went shopping online for nice indie clothing and stumbled upon some nice swimwear at ModCloth, one of the inspiring indie online stores.

There are many designs to choose from when it comes to swimwear and it’s hard to find retro swimsuits, isn’t it? If you are in for something truly unique this summer then check out indie designer Fables by Barrie’s retro swimsuits. I am attracted to his striped Beauty on the Beach Bikini Top stunning stripes that will keep you looking cool even with when the temperature is rising. Don’t forget to pair with the Beauty on the Beach Bikini Bottoms to complete the look.

Indie Designers Supporting Eco Living Principles 0

Posted on May 26, 2009 by dorischua

While searching for indie fashion designers, I came across a few eco living online stores that focus on promoting eco natural fashion and products as well as environmentally friendly home accessories.

It’s impressive to note that there are more indie designers who embrace eco living principles in their practices and many of them are also supporting fair trade communities and organic principles. Indie jewelry designers are also exploring on their creativity with recycled materials and the end results can be inspiring and alluring. Novica is a great place to source for indie designer products including clothing, jewelry , homeware, paintings, art pieces and more. A friend of mine was searching for diamond engagement rings and stumbled on some cool creations from indie designers and artists.

The world of indie design is continuing to grow and in no time, more budding designers and artists will continue to join in the fold.

organic cotton or indie clothing 0

Posted on March 20, 2009 by dorischua

My hubby thought I was crazy but I actually spent couple of hours looking for eco swim wear this morning. First it was indie swim wear then I realized that it wouldn’t be too feasible to find anything like that. Finally, I chose something simple from a bikinis website.

Even though organic living is becoming popular, I have still yet to find organic swim wear anywhere. Organic cotton clothing can be a little dearer since the cost of manufacturing is higher. But if you are passionate about organic living, then you would opt for organic cotton anyhow. Indie clothing designers are the same. Some wouldn’t wear mass produced or international label clothing. They would rather choose originality from indie clothing and stay simple and creative.

At the end of the day, it’s a personal choice of style and fashion, not forgetting what works well for you in the long run.

green living + indie clothing 0

Posted on March 14, 2009 by dorischua

I’m getting so exasperated from finding the righ niche for this blog. It looks like I may settle for indie fashion or something along the eco friendly line since many indie artists are great supporters of eco living.

Green style, green living, indie living, indie style – they all seem to belong together. I came across this great green lifestyle site and many of the green clothing are designed by indie artists. Their love for the environment combined with their creativity sets high standards for indie fashion.

If you like to see more of green lifestyle clothing and stuff with a touch of indie, check it out right here. For more, it’s back to my wireless security systems research for our new office… the weekends are coming!

chic gift ideas and ethnic gifts 0

Finding a chic and unique gift for someone who is in the hardware and work holding can be a tough one. Thankfully, this dear friend of mine loves ethnic stuff so the chic qualities can be put on hold for a while.

This set of Brocade Rocks Glasses by New Arcadia Studio make a beautiful gift idea for someone who loves a drink or two on those social occasions. Used them for serviing spirits in notably glamorous gilded rocks glasses with vibrant hand-drawn brocade pattern. For chic gift ideas or ethnic gifts, check out the range of products at Aliza Darik Inc dba MultiChic.com.

Now, the male readers in this blog can’t complain that they are left out and forgotten!

The fact that Bethany Shorb is a graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art brings me much envy and admiration. This is one design school I’ve heard so much about in the 90s when I was doing my MA in graphic design. Bethany is not just only a fashion and graphic designer but she’s a photographer, multimedia designer and performing artist. Read the rest of this entry →

check out etsy, will you? 0

For a long time, I have always love to shop online at Etsy for unique, creative and one of a kind handmade fashion and lifestyle items made by independent designers and artists. If you haven’t checked out this cool site, then you should wait any longer especially when the festive is coming close in couple of months’ time. Etsy is the perfect place to buy and sell from original and independent designers!
