Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

I had just returned from a three weeks holiday to Japan and Hong Kong and opposed to what many of friends thought, I did not go for a big shopping spree in these two cities. Last year, I rewarded myself with a Cartier watch but due to the slow economic outlook in the last few months, I had decided to delay my dream to buy a Patek Philippe watch.

I went around looking at the Christmas lights in town this evening and the light up was beautiful. Perhaps you may want to add a personal touch to your Christmas gifts this year and create your own work. Whether it’s a handmade card, a hand knitted hat or a hand patched quilt, nothing means more than a handmade gift idea for your families and friends.

So get those creative juices flowing and start thinking of what you can do with your hands and get as personal as you like to be!

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!
