They say volunteering can change your life. But all you’ve gotten from afternoons at the soup kitchen is a bad case of carpal tunnel.
Former New Yorker Elizabeth Kiester was luckier. During a volunteer vacation to Cambodia, she fell madly in love with the colors and people of the country. The totally fabulous (and really brave) fashion editor and one-time creative director for LeSportsac ditched everything for something completely unconventional: a clothing boutique in Siem Reap.
The result is Wanderlust, dedicated to beautiful things handmade by Cambodian women. Its range includes colorful dresses and tops; wooden bangles, basket bracelets, and a silk tie necklace we can’t stop thinking about; espadrilles and flip-flops for kicking around; inexpensive Jackie O sunglasses and scarves; and more.
But you don’t have to travel to Asia to get your fill of these gorgeous goods.
In case you were wandering.

I'm REALLY disappointed in the quality of items from this site, not up to the usual Daily Candy quality that I've come to depend on...everything looks cheap cheap cheap. I would NEVER forward this to a friend, as it's not representative of what Daily Candy usually has to offer. PLEASE don't start to get off track with this kind of thing!
