You've unexpectedly been bequeathed a sum by a generous relative that is coincidentally enough for that dream item you've been lusting over.

Don't worry, you've already paid off the mortgage and bought a few Oxfam goats and named a bench in their honour as well.

So, whatcha buying?

No one wants to spend pretend money with me!

Well I would buy this and with the change from my super-generous bequeathment, these.

Doncha know Amber, we all want to dream shop with you!
Whenever I have the luxury of a bath, I dream shop. I love it. But my list changes all the time, depending on what shops my iPadding has taken me. The one constant is Bottega Veneta bags. I love them. Def dream buying one.

I don't really have a dream item. I'm not bothered by shoes or bags. I would just like to go somewhere like Selfridges and spend the day there buying whatever I fancied. Or maybe I would get a new car!

I would love these but could never justify the price without an inheritance!
If I had change leftover, I'd take this jacket please!!
For a bit of colour, I'd stick with Chanel as well.

Sigh....

Jolie amazing choices, two right off my NAP wishlist there!

dexter ooh, smash and grab in Selfridges, now that sounds like a good idea! I am learning to drive at present, so maybe I'll be harbouring car based desires before long!

lurking BV, a classic choice. Maybe get the matching purse as well?

I don't think I'd buy much clothes-wise - maybe invest in an exquisite classic winter coat. Wouldn't spend more than 500 tops though. BUT if I did get such an inheritance, I'd go fuck-off shopping for my home not that I have one of those yet either. Furniture. Bookcases. Sofas. Chairs. Beds. Lamps. I'd buy gleaming dark wood and quality EVERYTHING, and I'd never have to resort to Argos again. I can't even link to anything because I don't even know where I might find such beauteous objects!

Absolutey the matching purse! How did I not think of it.
A Coach bag too, maybe.

PS- Cutesy this is the furniture I would buy if money was no object
I have no idea why I know about all these luxury items but can't afford any of them!!!!

I'd start with this and a pair of these to go with it.
A pretty little necklace and a nice blouse which would go well with my dream boots which I bought with christmas present money already. Like a Dandy Highwayman Wink

Another vote for the Marcie. This time in a summery light khaki:

I would like an Ossie Clark dress, I tried on the most beautiful cream one once but sadly it was £750 :(

I'd buy a really beautifully tailored pant suit (for evening), something with a bit of sheen maybe, and some sort of intricate and beautiful gigantic ring.

After that it would be stuff for the house. Custom-made curtains in luxurious fabrics, beautiful rugs and artwork.

And a pony Smile.

Have missed this thread - why just one bag?

For daily use, one bag per each weekday. A Chanel Boy in burgundy and a navy jumbo or maxi flap. Throw in a couple of Celines too. And a vintage bamboo handle Gucci from Japan...

The big serious investment bag: I would finally have to figure out whether it's a Kelly or a Birkin that I really want/need, and seams turned in or out...

Good point Dona. In which case I'll throw in a YSL Cabas Chyc and a pair of Balenciaga brogue boots.

I'm with Dexter37, I'd spend the entire day in Selfridges London and start from top to bottom, homewares, skincare, books, shoes, bags, a years worth of food from the fod hall, hair but & colour, nails and feet done, pens & paper - THE LOT!

I would also get a £10,000 giftcard sent to all my girlfriends with a limo to pick them up and whisk them here for a sublime lunch in The Tasting Room.
