THE WISHLIST IS YOUR ONLINE SHOPPING FRIEND

Our user-friendly website offers an array of features to make your online shopping experience fun, easy and productive. You can shop by browsing through product categories and trend collections or use the catalog flipbooks. Robust search capabilities allow you to search by color, material, type and more.

Regardless of your preferred method of perusing the site, you’ll find the Wishlist feature to be a very handy resource. It’s like the friend you take shopping, only to hold all of the awesome things you want to try on.

Located at the top right of every page, the Wishlist is a great tool for designers working on customer projects or for buyers planning upcoming purchases. The Wishlist keeps your favorite products curated together – but separate from your shopping cart – until you’re ready to order.

Use the Create PDF option to save a .pdf tear sheet of the items in your Wishlist with or without wholesale pricing, for yourself or a client. You can also modify the layout to view 1, 2, 4, or 6 up images per page and sort to by SKU or by the order in which products were added. Download the pdf for yourself or email it to a client.

Creating a Wishlist is easy and can be accomplished in a couple of different ways. If you already know the SKUs you want, you can add them all at once to the Wishlist window, or you can add products individually as you browse the site by clicking on the little heart icon in the upper right-hand corner of the product photo. The heart turns to solid purple, confirming the addition of the item to your list.

If we’re being honest, I hate cleaning. I love the results – everything freshly scrubbed and put in neat little rows. But the process is awful, and everyone knows it. That’s why I was surprised to find out that one the hottest trends coming into 2019 was, of all things, organization. 

“Does it spark joy?” The bestselling author asks, standing in front of a small Los Angeles family and the accumulated detritus of their lives. Most people are familiar with the cleaning guru from either her book, ‘The life-changing magic of tidying up’ or the Netflix show ‘Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.’ Both are massively popular, with millions of books sales and episode downloads respectively. The lifestyle phenomenon was even named one of Time magazine’s top 100 most influential people, right up there with Nicole Kidman and Prince Harry. 

You might be asking yourself – how is her cleaning any different than what I’m doing? Kondo’s method (Kon Mari) is heavily influenced by a mixture of Japanese culture and the principals of feng shui. You’re meant to take your clothing or knick-knacks out of their normal places and make instinctual choices about whether or not they are important enough to stay. Which, I suppose, is fairly par for the course as far as a closet clean-out goes. But Kondo manages to give the whole thing a spiritual air by suggesting you should say goodbye to your clothes and thank them for the purpose they held in your life. This helps to ease any lingering guilt or attachments you might have and push you towards finally decluttering. 

Another facet of her method is the notion that everything has its place. Even if you don’t have a dresser to store clothes in, you can get creative with the amount of space you do have and find alternate storage solutions. Usually this is in the form of boxes and storage baskets, but this also could include stand-up apothecary shelves or desktop organizers. All of these things can come from pieces you already own, or new items that you bring in to enhance your existing aesthetic. 

So, in honor of this new trend I have put together a list of IMAX’s favorite organizational décor. Maybe you’ll find a piece that will help you get a jump start on your spring cleaning. 

Little known fact, much like girls on Pinterest, the Victorians were obsessed with flowers. Gifts of specific arrangements were used to send coded messages about feelings which couldn’t be spoken aloud in Victorian society. These were called “Talking Bouquets,” and often left the recipient scrambling for their floral dictionaries. While today we like to focus on the romantic aspects of the Language of Flowers, Victorians weren’t shy about sending them to people they hated, too. So, to help you avoid any potential botanical mishaps this Valentine’s day, I’ve put together a list of commonly used flowers and their many (and varied) meanings.

Now that I’ve helped you navigate those murky waters, it’s time to talk about vases. Vases, while being the staging grounds for your blooms to shine, also outlast the flowers contained within. So best to pick something stylishly neutral that can be easily integrated into any décor. Luckily for you, I’ve done all the hard work. Enjoy!
