Shopping in the Wild
I don’t like shopping as an activity, but there is a lot to be said for doing just that. While cruising Tod’s men’s department with my husband, I found sunglasses that fit like a charm. I would not have found nor tried them from the website. You have to go to a Santa Maria Novella Farmacia, not just for the memorable experience, but to find the scent you’ll love — then you can order refills online. And, while doing a quick pass through Saint Laurent, I found my dream sandals. Shopping in the wild is about discovery, and discovery is what makes shopping as an activity fun.

Agree about shopping as an activity.
My best shopping is when I stumble across something I need – therefore want – when least expected.
Bingo!
Purchase made and I’m on my way, delighted I found coveted item in a matter minutes!
Personally, I feel like shopping in the wild is hit or miss for me. Often I will lust and lust over something online, just to see it in person and be underwhelmed. Other times I will shop in the wild and find a perfect basic I’ve been hunting everywhere for. I’m excited for you and your finds! x Marcheline Isabelle
For me, shopping at its best is an education – the pleasure of meeting and speaking with sales associates and hearing first hand about what went into making their products. It was just as special shopping a grand department store or gourmet shop. By comparison, online shopping is just buying.
