the attention of some of biggest names in the industry. She was discovered by Randy Bachman at the very young age of 15! He heard her demo CD and a strong musical relationship was developed. Through him, she recorded her first album called, “Consider This”. Her scenond album “Alone” were followed. Throughout her singing career, Lindsay has had the pleasure to work with many other artists such as John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Lisa Hewitt and many more. Owing to her exceptional performances she was featured at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Juno fest in Calgary and Vancouver and to many more events. Her music is about emotion and soul. She does it not for the sake of doing it, but because she wants her music to mean something - that is her form of self individualism. Her success is ongoing and she continues to write and work on new music.
When it comes to fashion, one of many thoughts that run through one’s mind is the cost. I believe that to achieve that high end look, you do not high end clothing or anything that is overly expensive. Any look can be accomplished in an affordable way. Artists starting off or even people trying to imitate a look may not have a lot of money to spend which is why they find what works and achieves what they want without the outrageous spending. Also, what you wear should represent who you are and embody one’s confidence. Seeing as Lindsay’s look has a country meets Indie feel, one is able to construct many flattering outfits. For the country clothing style, the advantage is that it is versatile, comfortable and affordable. From vests, leather chaps, oversized belt buckles and an endless supply of boots, this look is in and entirely fashionable.

own personal touch. To achieve the “Indie Style” like Natalie, one look being more sweet where the other has more edge, it is easy to do on a budget. The one thing anyone should remember before purchasing anything is that even though one may be trying to imitate someone else’s look is to incorporate themselves. Self-expression and a positive mentality are definitely major components to not only have this particular look, but any look.
good piece of clothing to wear as it can be worn with pretty much anything. Aside from the clothing, comes the accessories and choice of footwear. After all, they do complete an outfit and make it what it is. Any Indie person should have a variety of jewellery and footwear to choose from. Some footwear that would accent Natalie’s look is boots; some tall some short, but each of of which have a different texture or material such as leather, sued or velvet. Another shoe could be a simple flat shoe. You can find them in solid colours, or even a print. Play around with both the accessories and footwear, as it will definitely compliment and add a personal touch to an outfit. When it comes to jewellery for the Indie style, you can go from a chunkier look to much for simple look. In achieving Natalie’s look, the choice of outfit will determine what type of accessories to math it with. From long necklaces to short and chunky, anything will go. Belts are also very fashionable. They are very flattering to the body depending how they are worn and also add a nice touch to an outfit. They come in many styles, so wear something that is different and something that represents you! Scarves are essential in the Indie world of style. From scarves that are circle or straight, or a simple colour or that may have a pattern on it, anything goes. Over all, after everything is put together and an outfit is complete, you will be able to see that sense of individualism and style. Also, one must know that anything that it bought does not need to be designer that is not necessary. You can create the desired look in a much more affordable way! This is so because in the end even though it would have cost much cheaper, the final product provides the same look, if not better! One thing to always remember is that whether it is the music or fashion, being Indie is about individualism and no one can pull off their own look better then themselves, so go for it and show what you are all about!
