new peeks: indah summer 2009

summertime may be on the wane but i couldn't resist sharing peeks from indah's summer 09 lookbook which is filled with gorgeous on-the-street fashion shots reminiscent of a dreamy stylish travelogue (complete with foolproof hair and makeup plus professional touchups, natch). more proof that a fetching frock should be required packing for a delightful island adventure.

the summer offering by bali-based designer libby de santis is quite extensive with prints ranging from muted batik repeats to punchy tropical patterns. in addition to a host of pretty dresses offered in hemlines that go from mini to maxi, you'll find lots of mix & match separates plus a collection of saucy swimwear designed for balmy days near the equator.

indah fall 2008

bali-based designer libby de santis of indah recently rolled out her fall 08 collection filled with more of the fabulous bohemian loveliness the line has become known for. this season it's all about subdued hues and retro patterns accented with chunky knits, painted silk and bold geometric stripes for a luxe hippie look with a just hint of glam rocker to mix it up a bit.

a few clicks revealed that your best bet to locate indah's fall 08 edition online is at shop intuition and planet blue or stop by your favorite stockist to take a peek at the collection.

labor day is just around the corner so let's squeeze in a peek at indah's summer 08 collection before we officially say goodbye to the season. of course, the latest looks from bali-based designer (& kaua'i girl) libby de santis work year-round in the islands with its mix of softer silhouettes, vibrant batik patterns, and a return to old school tropical glamour.

i am also loving indah's take on tapa (traditional motifs with a dash of sweet little doodles) and patchwork (modern bohemian which also doubles as a skirt) from seasons past.

still no e-shop but the stockist list is filled with boutiques from the islands to the mainland with a few online possibilities (shop intuition has a nice selection) for those without a neighborhood boutique close by.
