Festival trends seen at Coachella 2018

Sticky Post By Wander-lust On April 16, 2018 With No Comments

Sarah just got back from an amazing couple of days at Palm Springs and enjoyed Coachella 2018 to the max. With the festival weekend 1 gone, we can talk about some of the outfits and trends! Yes, Coachella is the catwalk that defines the new trends for this coming festival season, and what to wear this summer.

Trend » Retro Cat Eye Sunglasses
No surprise, because these been around for a few months now, but Coachella just confirmed the trend. Last year we saw many roundies and big was back, but this year it’s all about those narrow sunnies that slide down to the nose. Some are more extreme than others, but if you want to look the part this year, you cannot do without a pair! Shop yours at Mango.

Retro look

Hair Trend » Hair Jewellery
Besides the usual glitter dust, we love this new hair trend where you add rings into your plaits. You can add flowers or colourful dots to pimp it even more. Check out these girls!

Pimp your hair!

Kenza rocking this trend

Trend » Denim
The Coachella trend that never fails; Denim. We saw a whole lot of it at Coachella this year. Timeless right?

Spotted with Alessandra, Sarah and Lizzy

Trend » Belt Bags
Finally! A trend that is also super handy, yet stylish! Add your mobile phone, lipstick and gooo! Shop your here.

Handy and fasionable!

Trend » Kimono’s
Yep, they are back in business! Thank god, I have a few left in my closet! But if you don’t, you better buy yours fast! 😉
Kimono’s are also a great option for when it cools down at night. Shop our favourite kimono of the season here.

They got it right:

Julie Sarinana aka @SINCERELYJULES
We’ve been following this tropical girl for a couple of years now and she didn’t disappoint us at Coachella this year. We love how she sticks by her own style!

Jamie Kidd aka @JAMIENKIDD
Wow, this girl is on fire! She’s a model (no shit) and a travel blogger. Cute as hell but she also has a great shape and she flaunts it in the right way. She really stood out this Coachella last year and this year she’s doing it again.

Claire Rose Cliteur aka @Claartjerose
One of the biggest influencers of The Netherlands at the moment. This picture is one of the most shared pictures on the “Coachella” internet right now.

Sarah Reinhoudt aka @Wanderlust.nl
Of course! I have to mention the women I was most jealous of this week. Sarah got it right with her Levi’s style.

Representing Levi’s and Wander-Lust, Sarah was killing it!

on the Eastcoast. The whole town is right in the middle of the National park. So wildlife everywhere you go, from Koala’s to even whales just off shore.
Never seen such a clean country either.
Steven » To me it’s Sekumpul in Bali. The most beautiful valley I’ve ever been to. Full of waterfalls, swallows, butterflies, monkey and the awesome rays of sunshine on the valley completes the perfect picture.

The best comfy & stylish travel outfits

Sticky Post By Wander-lust On December 9, 2015 With 2 Comments

Travel in style!
I’m not like the usual backpacker, meaning; wearing the baggy travel pants with flip flops and a basic tank top. It’s easy to end up looking quite messy whilst traveling, though it’s definitely possible to look stylish and wear comfy clothes when doing this!! You can also find fashionable travel outfits in light weight fabrics, wrinkle free, quick drying etc.

I have some favorite pieces that I always bring with me, and I will tell you why these are handy for countries where it’s hot and where you sweet a lot, like in Asia. Of course you need to keep in mind that you will have to carry your back quite some time, therefore packing light is a must!

“The most comfy but stylish travel outfits for your next adventure!”

Hereby my all time favorites:

1. Levi’s denim short

The iconic 501 short is something what can’t miss in your backpack. You look hot (at least, we try to!), it’s easy to combine and it’s very handy! Think about chilling in the park or when you are on a boat, wearing a short will give you the flexibility sitting cross-legged.
Even for jungle trekking a short can be useful.
Check out this Levi’s 501 vintage short

2. Maxi skirt

Like a denim short, the maxi skirt is comfortable, flattering and it never go out of style.
The best maxi skirt is the one that hits above the ankle so it doesn’t sweep the floor! Not to worry when you are at the beach, but when you are walking in a city your skirt can get very dirty at the bottom. It also comes in handy to keep the mosquito’s away and a good choice when your legs are sunburned. They’re easy to add layers over as hide layers under – when it’s gets chill in the night. The nice thing about a maxi skirt is that you can easily dress up fancy for in the evening.

My faves of this moment:

Asos: 44.12 | Asos: 59.56 |

3. Beach Towel / Beach dress

Over years I struggled to find space in my backpack, so what to leave out? Towels take up a lot of space and take forever to dry, so why not bring a linen/cotton towel instead? These towels are extremely compact, very light, easy to hang up, dry very quick, big enough to cover all your belongings and great to wear as a dress! A lot of shops in different countries offer these kind of towels for a very cheap price, so need to order them right away! But if you want to be sure, here are some very nice ones that will save you a lot of space:

Boudewijn: 178.00 USD | Remodelista: 45.00 USD |

4. Sexy and comfy travel pants
Yes, Pockets are maybe great, handy and necessary in some cases, but just bring a small backpack to put your staff in and go for a nice pants instead! You can look classy even while trekking! Important is to choose a pants with thin fabric and stretch which fit easily in your backpack. Have a look to these cool pants that you also can wear in the evening with a nice top:

Asos: 132.35 | Asos: 147.06 | Asos: 32.35 | Asos: 44.12

Love,

Sarah

Packing guide » Ibiza

Sticky Post By Wander-lust On August 26, 2015 With 1 Comment

I’ts time to relax, chill, explore…. That will happen this week on the magical island Ibiza.
Famous for being the party capital of the world, there’s a lot more to explore on this beauty.
This is the reason why I’m heading to Ibiza: sun, palmtrees, Beaches, views, spa’s, restaurants, shopping and 1 night of partying!

The Trip » Explore Ibiza in 5 days, and recharge my battery
Length of stay » 5 days
Budget » 600 euro’s exclusive flights

But first, I need to pack my bag! I didn’t opt for big luggage, so I can only bring carry on.
That’s a challenge when you go to this island, since you want to bring some very nice pieces next to your beach essentials.
Traveling light is alway a key for most of our trips but for this trip it’s even more important!
My motto is: Light but also Fashionable.

Carry On:
» The Olympus PEN Lite E-PL7
» Mobile Power band for Smart Phone of Mitone
» What I always bring with me on my travels, the Ipad Air
» Apple EarPods when listening to music via my Ipad or Iphone
» My Levi’s denim pocket wallet (cool right!)
» My Levi’s leather card holder

Colorful & Classic..
I love to combine classics with colorful essentials like my Wayuu Mochila handmade bag from Panama.
Tip » Create matching outfits when packing This way you always make sure that all items can be styled with another item – very important in this case, when you can’t bring to much. (I arrived in Panama once with all different tops, but I forgot to bring shorts!)
Of course you want to look good, but most important for me is the fabric. I love soft tops and comfortable shoes.
» Silver Flip flops from Havaianas
» Handmade Wayuu Mochila bag from Panama
» I always bring a few Levi’s shorts, the must have for your holidays!
» Maybe most important is suncare of my Lancaster (my fave, love the smell) with optimal UVA/UVB protection SPF30

To the beach:
Since I will be a lot at the beach or swimming pool I have packed a lot of beach outfits. I love to swim and to sunbath especially after some heavy working months. It’s time to relax and chill > zen!
» I’m addicted to bikini’s. I think I have at least 15 bikini’s in total, all different colors. For Ibiza I choose this colorful bikini of Forever 21
» Always important to bring a hat and I love this black & white baby of Zara
» I serious can’t concentrate without wearing sunnies. Do you know this cool brand already, Ace & Tate?
» Elke and I always wear these beautiful accessories of Mimi et Toi with funny details like this one: Rock Star!

I’m off! See you in Ibiza

Love,

Sarah

Top 5 » Wander Spots around the world

Sticky Post By Wander-lust On March 16, 2015

I have traveled a lot and one thing I love to do is walking around and find that piece that you keep with you for ever.
From luxury goods in London to quirky finds in Panama, to large shopping in New York, I can easily wander away for hours or a whole day.

Hereby a few of my wander spots…
