What are you lusting over but will (probably) never get?

You just WANT it but you won’t or can’t buy it because it’s too impractical, too expensive, not a necessity, not sensible, unreasonable, etc. Every so often you’ll look at it online, sigh longingly, give the screen a loving stroke and sadly close the page.

I’m not a fan of the LV logos on bags but this I love!

TREAT yo'self, you deserve it 😁

I know this thread is a bit of an oldie but what a great thread.

mine are:

a holiday to the Maldives with just my husband and flying business class. Being parents to two SEN children means life is exhausting and we spend no time together

an Audi Q7 - had one as a courtesy car recently and loved it.

sone fairfax & favour boots - but I’m a short arse and think they’d be too long on me!!

I loved this thread - great mix of 'achievable but spoiling yourself' to 'utter pie in the sky' - nice to see it resurrected!

@Magpie50 Imma gonna look in April lovely, in the hope you've put yourself first, for a change? 😄

After all, the family can surely subsist with one weeks less food?😂

An off grid cottage with land. I have found several, all out of our price range and a peacock to go with said cottage. Apparently I am allowed to have chickens and ducks but peacocks are a no because they are too noisy.

I now want a peacock. (And the cottage)

@waffleyversatile1 for you 🤗

Ever since someone on S&B linked to something - not my thread but I clicked anyway - this keeps coming up on my feed. Drool.

Fernsbury Jacket Winter White Signature Tweed - Welcome to the Fold LTD (thefoldlondon.com)

That's lovely but I'd get it dirty by the time I get to the garden gate.

Non S&B - Mini Cooper convertible. I had to sell mine & get a sensible 7 seater when I got pregnant with DC3. I adored that car. One day.

S&B - the ubiquitous VCA Alhambra bracelet in onyx. Yes you see it everywhere but the craftsmanship is truly beautiful. Or if I had more money, I’d go for a a rose gold Serpenti bracelet. I’ve tried it on & it’s stunning.

If I win the euromillions tonight the first thing I’m going to do is buy this watch. It’s Audermars Piguet and costs £55,000.

Been fantasising about it since I saw Aryna Sabalenka wearing one a few months ago.

I would love lasix eye surgery and an entire body tuck!
Even if I won the lottery I think Id be too chicken to get any of it done though!

I am quite lusting after the VC&A Alhambra necklace, white gold, mother of pearl single clover necklace too. I ought to be put off by the fact that they really are a) everywhere and b) copied endlessly, but I love it.

superplumb · 19/03/2025 09:14

Tummy tuck post divorce so I feel amazing
Audi q7. Love them
House with lots of land. Enough for animals and food growing

Thank you.
The colour looks different to the one I saw. It looks a lighter shade.
It has gone up €100 in 3 years. ☹️

The heart wants what the heart wants! The Alhambra pieces are beautiful.
