Crave or Save: Indah Clothing

I'm a bit taken by the Indonesian-inspired clothing brand Indah, as seen on celebrities including Ashley Tisdale, Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, and Vanessa Hudgens. Their pieces are laid back while still being sexy and edgy. Although the line is made with the relaxed island lifestyle in mind, the versatility of their dresses and jumpsuits can take them from the beach to the city streets or day to night. Here are some similar pieces that I spotted at ShopAKIRA. I can't guarantee that you'll get the same luxurious fabrics used by Indah, but it may not dig as deep into your pockets.
