What I’m lovin’: Wists
Any of my lovely readers out there use Wists? If not, you should absolutely try it. Wists allow you to save any image on a website, add lots of tags to it, and keeps it in a catalog with other images you’ve wisted.
I love Wists because it lets me keep both visual inspiration and shopping lists/ideas in one place. Sometimes, I wist something simply for the pure visual beauty of it. Most of the time, I wist items because I would love to buy them or something like them in the future. I wist most of my Etsy favorites so that even if the listing gets taken down, I’ll have a record of something I was attracted to.
I also find Wists very useful when I’m browsing online stores. I usually won’t buy an item the first time I see it online, but I will wist it. Then, when I’m ready to buy, I can find it on my Wists and click the link to get back to it.
The tagging aspect is definitely the most useful part. I tend to tag things by broad categories (dress, jewerly, shoes), narrower categories (a-line, necklace, mary_janes), materials (cotton, silver, leather), color (floral, purple, red) and brand (Anthropologie, Etsy, Fluevog). Sometimes I add more tags besides these. This way, when I’m ready to buy a pair of red mary janes, I can look up all items with those tags and shop!
Give Wists a try – you won’t regret it! (And if you already Wist and don’t mind sharing, please add me as a friend 
Wow, I’ve never heard of Wists! Thanks for the tip.
Never heard of it, but it sounds like a perfect place for a compulsive list maker such as myself
So cool! Thanks for the tip.
Me neither – sounds like fun. I have images scattered all over the place and I know I’m going to have a melt-down one of these days!
