The idea of this post is to share with you my love of indie brands. I am a big fan of Indie brands whether for clothes or accessories and as a plus size woman I find a lot of Indie Brands really accommodating about doing bigger sizes. Whilst I appreciate sometimes a dress from a smaller brand can be more money I find that with dresses from places like Simply Be coming in at £40.00 + Indie brands can be competitive especially for those times you don't want to look like everyone else.
I am not saying I wear clothes from Indie Brands all the time, for work I tend to be Primarni, supermarkets and Yours Clothing and I love seeing how people style clothes from chain shops for original looks and the Bargainista in me will always adore Primark. However, I do love to buy from Independent Brands cos I feel like I am supporting someones dreams and livelihood, rather than paying for some bigwigs posh motor.
So the idea of Indie Hits is once a month I will share with you a Indie Brand I love and some of the bits I have bought from them. So to start this of I am going to feature a brand called Snixy Swoons that sell on Etsy. I wish I could be all cool and say I found them on my own but I found these through a vlog by Betty Pamper of Pampers and Curves.
I then bought these necklaces in their sale for the bargain price of about a fiver for the pair
The brand features decoupage on wood, vintage buckles, toys and influences from Kitsch, pin up, Victoriana, classic children's books, pop culture and nature. I have worn the cat quite a few times but have been too lazy to do a OOTD, but I am yet to wear the pin up style Hula girl but I am thinking vintage style top and jeans. What really impressed me is despite my small cheap order it came beautifully packaged, which made it feel really special.
I was then lucky enough to win my choice of necklace a while ago, which I chose a wonderful Victorian Tiger in a Top Hat Necklace which I promise I will feature in a OOTD soon, well when life stops getting in the way.
Other favourites of mine on their website are these.
Pin Up Necklace £20,00
Other things making my wallet itch are the vintage toys as necklaces I love the Dinosaurs but this Zebra is amazing and could be coming to live with me.
So are there any Indie brands you love? or do you stick to the High Street? Tell me a hook a girl up with new exciting possibilities!
PS I am new to Instagram and if you could give me a follow for occassional face and what I had for dinner that would be grand.
Cool post hun I love the necklace of the dancing lady!
