What makeup?
What articles of clothing, from where?
What shoes?
What "services" (hair, etc)

Enjoy Grin

I'm thinking we should do a separate cosmetic surgery wish list thread, so try and limit it to botox/fillers and smartlipo. Anything involving an anaesthetic, different thread? Grin

It pains me to say it, but that Victoria Beckham has knocked out some rather nice gear so far. She seems to know what she is doing.

NancyDrewHadaClue · 21/02/2011 19:44

Pains me too Fellatio

Just as well her and Roland are mates though...I'm not sure he'd be quite so understanding re the entirely conincidental similarities between their collections....

Ah, well - I suppose we all need a mentor, and someone to inspire us. So long as she admits it to him I'm sure he'll live!

I'd quite like a teeny tint bit of filler in my upper lip and then I think the remainder of the cash would go on a flat tummy.

DC #4 is arrivng next week and my physio cheerfully told me that the gap in my stomach muscles is "at least 5 fingers" so £5k or not I fear I am screwed Sad

Botox
Am I allowed laser eye surgery?
Anya Hindmarch bag
Gina shoes
Half of Space NK
Brazilian blow dry
Loads of nice facials and massages

A fur coat (jacket, more like, at that price) Blush

TigerseyeMum · 21/02/2011 19:52

Either nice hair extensions or a brazilian blow-dry.

A really nice handbag but don't know what type, would have to browse and choose.

A new wardrobe from a decent high street chain such as Reiss, a bit classy but also practical.

Some really nice f*ck-me shoes such as Louboutin.

A make-up stylist then new products from a reasonable brand, and loads of toilettries by Ren, NYR, to keep e going for a year or so.

So, nothing OTT but enough to elevate me from daily scruffball to slightly groomed lay-day.

I like verity s spree the best so far

A classics spree for me I suppose - lovely bag, lovely coat, a lovely cocktail ring, maybe a load of Diesel jeans and Louboutins.

madammecholet · 21/02/2011 20:03

I would start with a Gucci Pelham bag, about £1k, then a pair of black peep toe louboutins, £600 ish... , then an Anya Hindmarch Valroie clutch in gold, £250.

Then I would of course have a Diane Von Furstenburg Wrap dress, about £300... another Vivienne Westwood anglomania jersey dress, about £200, snaffled in for everyday use another Peony & Moore Lucia bag and matching wallet £300, a Lucas Jack cuff £150, a pair of Monica Vinader drop aqua marine earrings £200, a Breitling cockpit watch about £2k....

and oh..thats it, £5k.

oooh.....I enjoyed that.Grin
