Smashing Darling Blog

Tell me about yourself and how you wear your indie fashion. Tell me how you combine indie fashion with vintage or pieces bought from bigger, name brand stores. If you would like to share your indie fashion style and shout out a favorite designer of yours email me. trish@smashingdarling.com. I would love to feature you. I have a natural curiosity/obsession for who is wearing indie and how they are wearing it.

Name: Dinah Williams
Occupation: Art Student/Indie Shopgirl (at Dina Varano)

Who are you wearing? I’m wearing a vintage ruffle top from The Willow Tree, a slip from Marshall’s, a pink satin skirt from Momo Falana, and Sugar shoes.

What & where are you currently studying? I study painting and printmaking at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Connecticut.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? Morocco.

What is your favorite color, why? Cadmium Orange. I use it in paintings and when you add white it turns into this delicious hot pink that wakes every other color up.

Tell us something you love you want everyone to know about? I adore the Muse shoe gallery in New London. It’s run by great people, open late, and serves as a revolving art gallery for emerging artists. I bought my shoes there at ten p.m. after a particularly trying day at school, and am ever grateful for that dazzlingly effective bit of retail therapy.

Please leave a comment for Dinah. Have you been to MoMo Falana? Do you know about the school she attends? Traveled to Morocco, can you give her a tip if she goes? Have you seen that exact color of orange? Can you relate to how she wears her indie? And what about those shoes?
