There's no need to explain the amazingness that's going on in the Anthem Wares showroom. Accessory heaven. Which handbag is more necessary... the cheeky strawberries, or the lovely lips? Which hat is more necessary... the polka-dots, or the burnt ribbon?

It's time for Summer planning! After a chilly, less-than-par Spring, we're ready to take Summer by the reigns. Plotting and planning in the WanderLust HQ ended up with this collage. A perfect mixture of city living and sandy escapes. We're ready for some rooftop romping, road-tripping, beach bumming, festival frolicking, and of course... some serious firework action.

We're also extremely excited for the Smirnoff Sorbet's Stir Up Your Summer soirée, which we'll post all the juicy details of next week :) Just think Smirnoff, sushi, and spa treatments. That could very well be the highlight of the Summer.

TOCCA

noreply@blogger.com (Abigail) — Mon, 06 May 2013 18:24:00 +0000

After oohing and aahing through TOCCA's collection, we realized there was a color-scheme going on. We chatted with the designer, and she said she was originally inspired by hot air balloons, but it quickly morphed into Charlie Brown. Loving the color-blocking, and especially the fact that she named the pieces after The Peanuts gang! Thinking that white mini with lace needs to be in our closet for Summer.

When you think Roman Goddess, you probably picture white robes, gold leafy headpieces, and gladiator sandals. Well... we have the sandals, of course, but we would like to think that even back in Roman times we would be rocking our signature WanderLust attire, all black. So here you have it... WanderLust in Italy, 1884.

Things we'd also like to think about: How many more swords would we have? What our giant black horses would be named? What our closet would look like filled with a bunch of robes?

Help us win the 1884 Collection Roman Goddess Style-Off! Share our look onto your blog, share on Facebook, or on Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram! For participating, I will make your own wish come true! Submit a wish on 1884 Collection’s website, and they will toss a coin into Rome’s legendary Trevi Fountain along with your wish!!

Etienne Aigner

noreply@blogger.com (Abigail) — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:16:00 +0000

We've been to this press preview before, and we'll keep going until the end of time. They didn't have to woo us with their Pinterest-worthy berry tarts, or their homemade juices and champagne, to convince us this collection is stunning, but that's not something we complain about. ;)

Etienne Aigner tops itself season after season, amping up their ready-to-wear, and progressively perfecting their classic handbags. A harmonious collection of jewel-tones was split into two racks. One was stacked with punchy purples and camel-tones, and the other lined with luscious forrest greens and navys. Immediately fell in lust with that leather top... excellent belt usage as well. Touché.

The belt brings us to our next crush, EA's dalmatian-print stones. This print is coming in strong for 2013, and we approve. Aigner gets our award for true "laid-back luxury."

There are three colors that we live by: black, white, and burgundy. These are also the three prominent colors in KM Collective, which made it simple to fall in lust. Kim Mesches, designer of KM Collective, is extremely talented, and happens to be one of our best friends. It's nearly impossible not to go over and play dress-up, even in the snow.

We're in love with his artistic detailing, and above all, that high-drama collar. Certainly attention-getting looks that will be just the attention you were looking for. If you're searching for the middle ground between basic floor-length dress and gown, Mesches has got the answer for you. Check out the full collection HERE.

Longest Road

noreply@blogger.com (Abigail) — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:50:00 +0000

More obsessions from our trip to the X'Tige PR showroom. Meet Handkerchief's newest genius design. We like to call the print "The Longest Road," which is also a superb song by Morgan Page. True wanderlust.

"Giddy up and gold dust, all the cars turn to rust
You've got no means for wanderlust
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
All is quiet in the yard"

Had a great time at the Maserati for Autism Speaks event last week. We were joyous to get out and support the cause, and "lit it up blue" on World Autism Awareness Day by wearing a blue Love Quotes scarf, blue LF stores clutch, and blue Maj shirt. The Love Quotes scarf is also a great charitable cause, donating 10% of net profits to international children's charities.

Just Cavalli For Her

noreply@blogger.com (Emily) — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:19:00 +0000

We're TOTALLY lusting this new fragrance by Just Cavalli! The new For Her Perfume is super sexy, with a flirty feminine air to it. For those of you who know us, you know our obsession with perfume, and how we have fragrances for just about every different type of occasion. This one will definitely be making the roster... we're thinking "date night," or "I want a date tonight". Most likely the latter ;)

Okay, enough about just the scent. That video... holy hotness. Georgia May Jagger, a stunner as always, makes the disheveled architecture (one of our favorite buildings in New York City by the way) look so glam! We may have a Georgia May crush... okay, we do.

Crushes aside, Just Cavalli for her is a sexy and provocative new fragrance by Cavalli. Just fun. Just more. Just free. Just now. Just Cavalli. Discover the Just Cavalli universe with this video:

Popped by The MAve Hotel for a glimpse of Serge Strosberg's Exhibition. After doing so much work with Lifestyle Trimco, sexy-mannequin-lady-art sounded like our cup of tea! We sipped some champeezy (sick of saying bubbly), admired some artwork, and enjoyed an issue of Twelv Mag. So happy to be out of our Winter coats... more variety to come. :)

(On Abigail) Grey & green eyeliner, Mirabella. Sheer dress, Miilla. Pumps, Jonathan Simkhai x Aldo.

(On Emily) Blue eyeliner, Mirabella. Custom top, Ami Goodheart. Skirt, Marciano. Pumps, Jonathan Simkhai x Aldo.

So, we got new Mirabella Magic Marker Eyeliners in grey, green, and blue, and somehow that led to us dressing in white, grabbing our bunny ears, and wandering around a garden. It's never simple street style for us. Why are we so bizarre? Nobody knows... BUT it was an amazing afternoon.

It was time for WanderLust to wear a little innocence, so why not for Easter Sunday :) Seemed fitting, since one of the biggest Spring/Summer trends is "All-White Everything." It's as pure as we get, folks!

I can't really explain how hard we laughed trying to impersonate rabbits, so naturally those photos got the nix. Although, we could post a whole series of us laughing uncontrollably (sorry to Matt, our patient photographer.)

Flirty Florals

Although our color palette is well... black, we are tempted by some new territories this season! Fun flirty florals will be making their way into our wardrobe for sure. We love how a simple look can become so feminine by adding just one floral piece. Even punks and goths can test it out in their own way.

Of course, you can't go overboard. We're not trying to look like a botanical garden, although that could make for an interesting shoot... we'll get back to you about that. It is important to try and add just one floral accent piece, such as a cute purse or pair of sunglasses. Or, you could start with a bang and go with a dress, or shorts and top look, and use minimal accessories. All are perfectly sweet summer looks!

Hopefully we've seen the last of the snow, so we can start rocking this trend. It's time for Springtime ;)

Our good friend and photographer from Style Defined NYC captured us outside of the Mondrian Soho wearing sheer shirts, short shorts, and even bare-knee tights... quite fitting for the 25°F it happened to be, wouldn't you say? Yes, we are the worst at dressing for the weather. But hey, we brought big coats.

Post Script - Is it time to bring back the oversized beginning-of-a-chapter-letter? Too bad they don't have Old English font.

Oh mimosas, how you lure us... as well as all the delectable food at the beautiful restaurant, Isola, in the Mondrian SoHo. We're so excited to be a part of their new brunch ritual!

The space is like the most luxurious green house, donning beautiful chandeliers, lots of liquor, and fully equipped with a new DJ spinning every week. They always seems to get us on our feet within about an hour... it may be the champagne, but we can't give alcohol all that credit...

Great crowd, great time, and most importantly such great outfits by brunch goers :)

(On Abigail) White sweater, LF stores. Bikini bottom, Teeki. Zipper boots, Dolce Vita. Jack Daniels tee, Grit N Glory. Aviators, Ray-Ban.

I can't even pretend to act like everything is normal when I write this post. Seeing the photos of our butts makes me laugh every time, because we tried to video each other biking, and both ended up off-roading into a swamp. If you're lucky, we'll post those videos. DISCLOSURE: Any and all casual glamour in our blogposts must be discredited, because it's highly likely we did something absurd pre or post photo.

Now that I have ranted about how stupid we are, I can say we had an amazing trip. Nothing like combat boots in the sand :) Emily finally busted out her Alexander Wang white long-sleeve, and naturally I wandered the island boasting about my vintage Jack Daniels tee from Grit N Glory.

Needless to say we got no color, and still appear as ghostly vampires that live in a cave. But hey, at least we have photos to prove we went away.

Don't get us wrong, we long for those warm summer days, but there is a difference between comfortably warm... and way too hot! That's why sheer pieces are such a staple for any woman's wardrobe. But there's a right and wrong way to wear sheers. To be blunt, keep what should be covered up in public, covered up.

There are so many ways to work this trend into your Spring/Summer looks! Leotards, tanks, tees, skirts, and especially dresses. Above are a few of our favs from Target. How adorable does Ashley Olsen look in this sheer number cinched with a belt?

The best thing about sheers is how versatile they are. They can be slouchy, or skin tight. We can't get enough. It's time for Springtime :) How will you incorporate sheers into your warmer wardrobe?

A couple of weeks ago we dined over the Hudson River at The Standard Hotel with the most appropriate person to do so, Captain "Sully" Sullenberger. The American Hero became an Ambassador of fine watchmaker, JEANRICHARD. Sully discussed how he is fascinated with time, and we all know his famous accomplishment relied on what precious time he had. We really enjoyed hearing him speak, and celebrating the wonderful new collaboration.

Well, this kind of proves we don't veer far from neutral colors, but these are perfect Spring closet essentials. You always have to have your basics! In this case, we found simple solutions from Target. Necessities include: maxi dresses, sheers, jumpers, circular sunnies, thin chambray shirts, floppy hats, cute graphic tees, lace bralettes, and rose gold accessories.

We're big fans of a comfortable easy outfit. High-low is the way to go. A plain white tee, black bralette, denim cut-offs, massive sunnies, baller watch, and some gladiator sandals sounds like the perfect Spring '13 to us :)

So, snow, please go away, and let us revel in the sunny weather. It's time for Springtime!
