My Imaginary Shopping Spree

Ever put items in your online shopping cart that you have no intention of buying? Come on, I know I'm not the only one that does this! Isn't it just so much fun to imagine that you might actually BUY everything???

Here is what I'm currently hoarding in my Overstock shopping cart:
Duvet $103
Side Table/Stool $185
Side Table $103
5 x 7 Rug $181


Chair $308
Moroccan pouf $196
My grand total? 

$1,981 

Hehe. 
Where do you get your virtual shopping spree fix?

I used to fill up my cart at amazon and overstock - now I'm trying to keep everything in pinterest

I fill up all kinds of shopping carts ;-) That rug is phenomenal!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one - I was just thinking about this the other day. I put items in the cart but I don't purchase them! I was just eyeing up a cashmere throw on One King's Lane, but I might actually treat myself and purchase instead of just placing in my cart.

I do this with close alllll the time - J. Crew, Gap, sometimes Banana. My weakness for home stuff? Definitely Pottery Barn. Especially the sale stuff.

I *totally* do this at Anthro more frequently than I would like to admit! (c: Somehow, psychologically, it is therapeutic...I'm sure my husband appreciates the fact that I don't go on *for reals* shopping sprees (c:

Okay, I'm clearly missing out on some good times. I'm going to start this right away. I think you need to push buy for those wooden stool/side tables. They are fabulous.

This is only one of my favorite past times. I prefer it to going to a store...because I can do it in my pajamas!

Love that pouf...I want one just so I can say "pouf" and annoy my husband...

Great finds! Love that pouf!

You are hilarious! My mom has that exact rug in her dining room. Maybe I can steal it from her for you. Think she'd notice?

I'm assuming you saw Anna Spiro's post yesterday?

I do virtual shopping all of the time! I love Anthropologie, Restoration Hardware, Ballards, and Pottery Barn (don't tell anyone).
btw, I adore that white tufted chair and it's so reasonably priced!

Barbara@HausDesign said...

I do this too! I start with everything and then narrow it down...and usually don't end up buying it in the end. :( I do have that twist stool though and I love it! This was fun - you have inspired me to do the same sometime soon and post it just for the fun of it. :)

Ispirato Design said...

Guilty as charged- and then sometimes I panic because I think on impulse I'll somehow hit a button that will make the sale go through!

muminsearch.com said...

No, you are not the only one that does that (sigh).

Evie said...

That elephant side table needs to be mine! Just stumbled over here!

Lisa said...

Oh yeah, I definitely have imaginary carts at Ballard Designs, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, World Market, and my new fav Velocity Art and Design. I love the duvet and wood end table you chose. Good to know I'm not the only one who pretends to shop.

Haha! It feels so good to fill up an imaginary shopping cart! I love that little stool/side table! If there were a J.Crew home store I'd be filling up a cart everyday!

I love the tufted chair with the nailhead trim! Imaginary shopping sprees are fun! If I went on one right now, I would head over to West Elm, and put almost everything in my cart! :)
