Help me spend my little windfall!

[herethereandeverywhere]

I've just received an unexpected windfall of just over £300. I want to spend it on a single item, a little luxury treat for me. I don't really 'need' anything so would welcome your ideas please s&b ladies.

As a starter for 10 I have been lusting after THIS though now I can justify it I have a few doubts that it's too bold and large-print for me and that I'm imagining it as pashmina fabric when its much lighter silk-modal mix.

Congratulations!

I would actually recommend that you spend the money on something a bit more substantial, and that you could get much more wear out of.

For example, a leather jacket. It would last for years, and will always be a wardrobe staple. Don't automatically go for black - sometimes chocolate or caramel can be even better. You don't need to necessarily go for some top designer brand either - for £300 you can get a very good quality jacket in a department store.

Otherwise, I would recommend a skirt. A dress is always nice, but there aren't many ways to dress it differently unless you get something quite plain - whereas a skirt you can dress differently with ease.

Congrats!

I wouldn't pay full price for a scarf like that, it'll go half price in the Jan sales.

How about a really fab coat? Or if it were me, I'd blow it on a bag.

Are you anywhere near Bicester or the like? Head there with an open mind perhaps? They have Anya Hindmarch and Mulberry outlets.

Id buy a beautiful purse watch or piece of jewellery, and I'd wAit till the selfridges dec voucher day!
Brands would be respectively
Mulberry, Marc Jacobs or georg Jensen, and again georg Jensen or small independent

I agree with Kay Kay - a leather jacket, handbag or a piece of jewellery

Classic watch, bang on budget

I'd get something like a prada wallet

Oh if I had a windfall I would buy a cashmere travel wrap. I always travel with a large pashmina shawl but would love one of THESE

Def wait for the sales/discount code days and get something £600 half price. Spend the time before then doing your research and trying things on do you're ready. I'd go for a leather jacket, bag, or jewellery. Lucky you!

Id go look at Monica Vinader jewellery - i've a bracelet & i adore it. monica vinader

I would get the Mimi Berry Hebe bag it is gorgeous

I also love beautiful scarves the one you linked is lovely but 85% modal at that price is outrageous even at 50% discount I think is overpriced.

I get mine from apeacetreaty.com/pages/shop they have some in the sale or the winter ones are just lovely they are also ethically produced.

I agree that a leather jacket would be good, or a lovely winter coat which will last you for years. I wouldn't spend anywhere near that much on a scarf tbh.

In fact, personally, I'd buy a jacket/coat and a pair of boots - £300 would get lovely versions of both of those things with ease.

How about a mulberry purse

I would choose a bag that you will love for years to come.

I'd spend the whole £300 on a beautiful sweater.

It would be a handbag, coat or leather jacket for me too.

I'd go with a leather jacket-I think with that budget I would go with All Saints.

Not the scarf!!

Handbag watch or coat yes

Congratulations! I'm repeating myself from another thread but I would buy some Brora cashmere or an Equipment silk shirt - you may manage both in the sales. Or have something made bespoke - I don't know what £300 would get you but that's my idea of real luxury. A leather jacket also sounds good. I wouldn't spend it on a scarf or a bag but that's just me.

I'd go for a great pair of boots from Ash, a winter coat - maybe somewhere like Whistles or Cos.

Or, if you really want designer, I'd go for a Miu Miu wallet

I like the leopard print handbag in the All Saints biker collection.

Yum yum.

Definitely not the scarf - you can get some wonderful scarves for £100 or less that are pure wool/silk.
