Now I may be speaking predominantly for girls here, but we all love making lists don't we?
Whether it's the obligatory banal 'to do' list for the coming week, a simple food shopping list or random jotted down reminders about the gorgeous new season clothes & accessories we've got our eye on (I carry a small notebook at all times for this purpose- moi, fashion obsessed, never!) There's a certain satisfaction to be felt from crossing out or ticking off a task completed or an item bought.
Now that we're in the midst of the online shopping age, list making has got a whole lot more complicated. I seem to have a wishlist for every online store I visit waiting for me to update. And we have to update them. God forbid that a family member logs into your Amazon wishlist which you've been carefully compiling for the last 5 years & decides to buy the Towering Inferno DVD (1975 version of course) that you can't even remember adding.
After that brief synopsis of my particular list making habits, I'll get to the point of this post!
Having recently trawled through several of my current online wishlists, I thought I'd share some of my favourite wants & must-haves with you.
Let's start with books.
I'm not an avid reader by any means. Chick lit on the beach & my fashion & interiors magazine fix is generally as far as it goes. Throw in a bit of culture from The Sunday Times & I'm about done.
Force me into Waterstones & I'll always gravitate towards the art department. Give me a glossy, weighty & vibrant coffee table book on fashion/art/design/photography any day over a 600 page novel. However, it may be a slight exaggeration to say that I actually 'read' these books. At the moment my collection has been relegated to our under stairs cupboard. Although I live in what's technically known as a house, I think it must be one of the smallest around & space is a luxury we definitely do not have. So every now & then, usually as I'm reaching for the hoover (my life is so glamorous), I pull out one of my lovelies & gaze over it with a cuppa.
Here's a few current 'wants' on my ever-growing Amazon wishlist...
