£1000 to spend all on me... help!

[WinkysTeatowel]

First world problems I know..

My DH has very kindly given me a grand all to myself out of a recent windfall. The instructions are that I must spend it on me and not fritter it away! I really want two or three things 'investment' buys. Don't need a new watch as I had one last year. Thinking about investing in a nice leather jacket, All Saints or Karen Millen maybe, but not until next year as currently pregnant so I reckon that leaves me about £750 to spend.

Wondering about a fancy handbag (Mulberry) or two but never spend that sort of cash on myself so not sure where to start.

What would you do? Any recommendations?

I'd go for things I can wear year round,

I'd definitely buy another pair of Gucci jordaan loafers.

• a nice crossbody bag. chloe bags are great specially the mini marci it's quite roomy and can hold all essentials , they do go on sales sometimes in places like harrods and matches.
  

Or maybe save a bit more and get a Burberry trench , I never regretted getting one.

I would pick (but this is me so..)
Fairfax and favor boots
Either a gorgeous ring or handbag
Botox

Check out luisaviaroma. They have 40% off so you can stretch your budget a lot.

Personally I would buy a BV bag

Thanks everyone, lots of good advice. Have signed up to various website so hat I get notice of sales and will take myself off for a good wander around Selfridges and Harvey Nicks soon.

Margaret Howell. It wouldn't go far but you'll wear her stuff forever.

I recently had this too after winning on a £2 scratchcard! I bought a ted baker coat and some classic black boots, a few clothing items that I just liked (nothing very expensive) and a new kindle. Then a few bits for the house- even though I suppose that isn’t technically just for me, I love Home bits and bobs! Whatever you decided, have fun!!

A Bayswater by mulberry... a timeless piece, and mulberry will always restitch as required.. although mine is 10 years old and still going strong..

I would be careful of Mulberry. Bags from years ago are great but my 4 year old Bayswater wore through at one corner in 2 years of infrequent use and cost £75 to repair.

[Kikidelivers]

I’d buy myself a leather jacket and a ring

[bingohandjob]

I would buy myself a beautiful transitional coat for Spring/Autumn weather - an Acquascutum or Woolrich trench maybe then spend anything left over on a beautiful hat that would go with it. I totally kid myself I'd look like something out of a Ralph Lauren advert but I'd probably end up looking like Inspector Gadget.

[SpeckledyHen]

I would contact Louise at Labels Most Wanted and ask her to find me a beautiful pre loved Mulberry Oak Bayswater made from Darwin Leather .

[UpperWallop]

Buy yourself something. Anything for new baby should come out of joint budget.

[CurlyWurlyTwirly]

Go to.a department store and ask for a personal shopper to help you. You should start with a capsule wardrobe of classics and then you can buy a few cheaper fashion pieces

[WinkysTeatowel]

@UpperWallop those are the restrictions placed by DH, I have to spend it all on me!

I'm having restylane on my marionette lines. Can't wait.
