Window shop (not shopping for windows)

If you havent got a money tree growing in your back garden but love to dream about what you would get if you did then you are probably a window shopper! I sometimes can't help but look and dream and make wish lists, kind of like a mental escape, the creation of Pinterest has also helped fuel my love to 'look' at things that I have no way of actually owning myself!
At the moment I've been window shopping holidays, countries and amazing hotels, maybe I'm in the mourning process of summer coming to an end!

For now that's what my current 'go to' section is on Pinterest, but there are so many things that you can window shop for!

Cars

Perfumes

Art

Shoes

Pets

Skincare products

Houses

Diamonds!

Tattoos

Handbags

Cooking supplies

Hair products

Dresses

Craft supplies

Desserts

 

I wonder if in the future people will be confused as to why on earth it is called 'window shopping' if in the future all shopping is done online, maybe instead it will be called screen shopping or something!

What have you been known to window shop for?!

New online shopping frenzy!

I know for sure you've heard of Ebay, and if you've been reading my blog for some time you've probably heard me talk about Etsy but Storenvy is the new kid on the block for lots of at home crafters to sell their goods online.
So.. what makes it different to all the others?

-The people at Storenvy have tried to combine shopping and social networking to create this site, maybe this makes your heart sing, but the thought of another type of social network makes my head spin..tooo..many...usernames...!

- NO SELLER FEES woohoo! Unlike Etsy and Ebay who charge for listing and then take a chunk of the profits, these guys let you keep your hard earned cash

- It's little! At this point they are just reaching their 20,000th store opening, a whole lot less than Etsy and Ebay... smaller sites mean less competition on goods made for crafters!

Bad things...
- They encourage me to use Facebook to log in, I don't like connecting my facebook to other websites

-It's all priced in dollars! I'm a GBP gal

I recently purchased these Confetti tights by Sweetie Cakes Shop...

Awesome though they may be they took over a month to arrive... now Summers gone with it, and so has the pastel trend...ah well

Amazing clothes & amazing causes

Shopping in charity shops is one thing, but there are lots of reasons why some people don't - Maybe one of these reasons sums up you?

1. The idea of used clothes isn't appealing to me

2. I never find anything that I like

3. There aren't any charity shops near me

4. Just going into those places makes me feel overwhelmed the amount of junk on display

5. I don't feel strongly enough about the charity to draw me inside

if this is YOU stay tuned- you are in for a treat!

http://sevenly.org/

is an amazing website, where a tshirt and hoodie design is made and produced and on sale for one week- and the proceeds go towards one specific charity; there's details on who the charity are, what they're about and what your purchase (i.e money) can do to help someone else.

Maybe you don't like this weeks design?

No problemo!

Next week they'll be a new design!
Supporting a new charity! (it can be solutions to sex trafficking, hunger, disease)

The best part?
The designs are beautiful, charming, whimsical and wearable

The price?

$22 for a shirt, $35 for a hoodie they often sell one design in a variety of shirt designs, sometimes jumpers too and in male and female designs

'Do they ship to me?'
I hear you cry!
YES! They ship worldwide!!

So while you're stocking up on clothes for summer, visit sevenly for new designs along with asos, forever21, H&M, Topshop- and wherever else you're shopping!
