Do you ever have days where you go a little spend-crazy? Well a few months ago, I had a few of these days – I denied myself nothing and it was brilliant (although of course it was followed by a bad bout of the dreaded ‘shopping guilt’). Obviously I can’t have these days too often or I would be flat broke so I’ve been practising more restraint lately. Restraint involves window shopping, internet window shopping that is, where I fill my virtual basket to the brim and then close my browser without buying anything, just to prove that I have the power! Admittedly, this a little strange and juvenile, and I am sure that psychologists have a name for me, but I don’t care because it’s seriously fun!
Are their other virtual window shoppers out there or should I seek medical help?

I think window shopping, online and off, is a therapy too. :) What a gorgeous clutch! And I have to get some of those herb bottles, so lovely! Have a wonderful weekend, Meghan! xo

At least you have the willpower to close your browser...no medical attention needed! And, yes, I'll take #'s 10, 11 and 12, please and thank you.
ReplyDeleteI get a lot of creative ideas window shopping, whether online or off so I say it's good for you!
ReplyDeleteI love all the ideas I find with internet shopping! I think it is fun!!
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
have a great weekend!
I think your idea is brilliant! I just went on a bit of a shopping spree - all neon items if you can imagine. Needless to say some need to go back - 12 pieces of neon.. what was I thinking???? a little goes a long way!
ReplyDeleteI've been guilty of doing the same thing. Last time my shopping cart topped at about $1000 ;) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh girl I'm in the same boat as you. I work within .3 miles of a really good mall and Crate and Barrel. Never fails that I walk out with something even if I tell myself no spending. I have to just bring a magazine to read at lunch if I'm going to have a no spending week.
ReplyDeleteI have been on a buying spree lately as well. I don't do it often but when I have those days, it is fun albeit a little guilt.
ReplyDeleteLove all your picks especially the topiary, table lamp, clutch and belt.
Have a lovely weekend, Meghan!

Very cute sandals. Absolutely I'm a virtual shopper. I've been putting together an "Essentials" board over the past few weeks. It's like a shopping list come to life...well, almost.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I'd rather shop online for most things, so I'm always browsing to find stuff I want, then I decide I don't really need it and close the window. If you find out that this has a name, let me know ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yay, I'm not the only one then! I am online sooo much sourcing new products for my store, and inspiration for my blog, it's hard not to buy all these beautiful things. I usually practice restraint, but just recently, I went a little crazy too. Now I'm waiting for the parcels to start arriving. One came this morning - so exciting!!! : )
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem. Usually I find it so hard to not buy everything I see online, that's where willpower kicks in ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment, Have a wonderful weekend Meghan!
