Creating your winter wishlist!

I know some of us truly dread doing new-season shopping (myself excluded of course!), as it entails aimlessly wandering the brightly-lit halls of an overcrowded shopping centre, wishing you could spend your only day outside the office somewhere sunny and void of irritating salespeople and overly zealous promoters.

In light of this I’ve decided to help you set up your very own winter wishlist, the magical tool that will enable you to shop with efficiency unknown to all those other helpless shopping-centre drones.

My first tip is that your wishlist should not be something that’s compiled in one go, always keep it with you and constantly update it whenever you see an item you like in a magazine, on a blog or in the street. Rather than simply writing, ‘white shirt’, elaborate with descriptive words, draw a little picture or tear pictures from magazines and add them to your list. This will ensure that when you do happen upon an item on your list in the shops you’ll immediately recognize it! Try to keep the list where you can see it daily, this will ensure that you internalise the items on the list making it easier to spot the items when your brain is bombarded by the sense-overloading experience that is a shopping centre.

Another great way to keep your ideas contained is by creating a pinterest board dedicated to your list. View mine here.
