International

Trishdarling here, I wanted to share this little gem I found while getting my hair done a month or so ago. It is INDIE mag…yum. I just can’t believe it has taken me this long to actually get this into the blog… Yikes! … anyway, the magazine was started in Austria, with an English version that ships internationally. I Love the tag line, The Independent Style Magazine. There is no need for independent fashion without independent style. Everyone would be perfectly happy to look like their neighbor and that is a terrifying thought. If you decide to sign up for a subscription, this lovely magazine will show up at your doorstep 4 times a year. Each issue is one to be saved and savored. I suspect I will pull mine out for inspiration all the time.

Indie Fashion and lifestyle magazine

INDIE Magazine is an international, independent style magazine with a focus on fashion, music and culture – founded 2003 in Vienna. Innovative fashion- and photo-editorials by internationally recognized photographers and portraits of budding talents from the fashion, music and cultural scene are INDIE Magazine..s cornerstones.

What’s Going On

Craziness and joy abound in the Smashing Darling world – welcome all to version 2, we are reborn! This sweet indie gal to the right is a great image for how we feel, hands and arms raised up in a big cheer! Version 2 makes it so much easier to navigate the Darling world; to clearly see all the different categories of indie fashion that hang within our community. Product images are bigger, you can sort, filter, and scroll. We have hand picked some indie standouts for you in the Chic Boutique, created a collaborative home for indie fashion events nationwide (know a designer in your area having an event? add it in!), and created room on our homepage to keep you easily updated on our latest promotional fun (ie: this month Venuszine!).

Girls: Joy from shop.teddahughes

Women: Create your own, Kate Boggiano

What’s New

We love our new look! Please let us know what you think, and certainly if you have any problems – just let us know! Most issues thus far have been solved with a simple clearing of the cache. Computers have a way of remembering how things used to work. Here is how to clear the cache:

If using a PC, you can clear it out by going to Tools > Internet Options > Temporary Internet Files > Delete Files > Delete all offline content. If you are a MAC user, not to worry – you lucky ducks can check a box that says clear cache every time you shut down the computer.

Coming Soon

If you frequent the Darling blog you’ll notice our lovely new look there as well. Enjoy your Friday coffee, lunchtime, or those last few minutes before you run out the office door perusing the Friday Editors Picks. Sometimes it is the Darlings, sometimes a friendly editor we have smashed up with…you’ll just have to check in and see!

Keep your eye out on the weekend too for a bit of Scavenger Hunt fun. Spend some time exploring and I bet you can win…more info soon!
