This month we are introducing our Blog of the Month concept, and our inaugural blog is Indie Style File, written by the lovely Kim Bui.  Indie Style File is a fashion blog, covering indie fashion designers.  What’s an “indie fashion designer” you ask?  While indie originally was used to refer to films and music that were not attached financially to a big name studio, indie fashion has crept into the mainstream vocabulary to refer to independent designers working and making a name for themselves without the financing and safety net of a big designer brand name.  In this WalMart world, where huge conglomerates suck up small businesses like a vacuum picks up cat hair from my carpet, indie designers (and musicians and filmmakers for that matter) are a cherished breed.  I hope you will take some time to visit Indie Style File, subscribe to the feed, and think about supporting some of the millions of independent fashion designers in the world today. 

From the rest of the Beauty & Style channel, our takes on “indie:”

Shoe Blitz shows you Mohop Sandals. These fabulous sandals, created by independent designers Annie Mohaupt and JoAnna Fleming, allow you to change their ribbon straps to completely alter the look.

Glamour Gift Guide loves these handcrafted Rose Garden Earrings designed and created by independent designers Anita Lin and Sara Schwittek at Shy Siren.

Aging Fabulous shares her love of shea butter with her favorite Whipped Shea Butter from Independent beauty company Bath by Bettijo.

Metrostylemen thinks this small travel kit by ZIRH is simply ingenius and it won’t even take up space in your travel luggage.

Shopaholics Daily loves to travel, but hates the packing part so she was quite impressed to find that a company has taken all of the work out of it for you. Babor has everything you need packaged and ready to go. Now the question is… where to vacation. Have you seen the gas prices lately?

Style Tots fell in love with a polka-dot hello kitty skirt made out of a bandana from Alissa’s Creations.

Style It Less featured a beautiful floral babydoll mini-dress than can also be worn as a skirt from Alissa’s Creations 2.
