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!

@Gymnopedie, I have that jacket. It is absolutely beautiful and very flattering. You should get it.

A piece of jewellery by JAR. Never going to happen, I don’t have that kind of money 😩

GogAndMagog · 07/04/2024 03:30

These Boots. But I can't see me spending that kind of money on myself.

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 jacket is beautiful - I absolutely rue the day I googled ‘The Split Hannah Clothes’ and discovered the Fold. I spend far too much time on there dreaming about very expensive workwear 😊

This dress. I've been watching it for at least a year.

The Row Lillibet dress

This dress is divine! It has an early Dior vibe.

This dress https://www.wolfandbadger.com/eu/mint-mermaid-dress/. I have no where to wear it, it's super expensive, I couldn't pull it off. But I adore it.

Camilla Elphick Lover flats in black patent. The ones with the heart detail.

Will never own them I suspect.

Size 7 though if anyone’s selling!

I’d love a dark bottle green, long wool coat with a big hood, with big pockets and a nipped in waist, with big green buttons. I imagine a kind of forest snow queen vibe, but no fur.

i’d also like a pair of tan/brown leather sandals that actually fit my weird feet and are comfortable to walk in and don’t look like granny shoes. And that make my feet look like dainty little feminine feet.

I’m sure Collectif made a dark green coat like that. The Heather in green. (It’s out in pink and black at the moment and I have one in Oxblood.)

A new kitchen
A porch
A new car
A loft conversion
New windows and doors

I am very boring.

Floisme shared this jacket on the Cabbages and Roses thread and I can't stop thinking about it: https://www.cabbagesandroses.com/products/flossie-frock-jacket-in-pale-pink-wool?variant=48260193517843

Me neither @noodlezoodle Grin When I can't get to sleep I plan all the imaginary outfits I could make with it.

There was a thread on jeans a little while ago where there was a link for the Sezane brut sexy jeans. I’ve been looking at them daily since, especially the edge blue ones. A bit out of my price range, although I am 40 in a few months, maybe I should treat myself

LoveSandbanks · 07/04/2024 10:28

A designer handbag. Ideally a birkin 🤣 but I doubt I’d ever have a mulberry and a facelift. I can’t imagine spending that sort of mo why on myself.

Ohyoudodoyou · 07/04/2024 10:38

I was talking to my friend the other day about this, I'd love a vintage Rolex from my birth year (so more antique than vintage!) but my first choice would be this...

www.tiffany.co.uk/jewelry/bracelets/elsa-peretti-medium-bone-cuff-GRP11935/ (the medium gol one..)
I never, ever wear jewellery but I'd walk naked around the streets to show that off. Well, the house.. maybe just the bedroom then.

Just looked at these and they are exactly what I’ve been searching for. Now to think of a reason to justify why I need a £95 pair of jeans….. 🤔

With my first pay cheque I bought a similar pair of boots. 25+ years on I still love them and wear them. Classic shape, versatile colour … price per wear might be better then you think!

GrandHighPoohbah · 07/04/2024 10:46

A chunky Hermes cuff bangle. I have loved them for years but they are sooo expensive and definitely not within my budget. I have several high street versions but would love the real thing one day.

Not very stylish or beautiful but a skip 😂
Would love to just chuck stuff without the faff of loading up the car and taking it to the tip Grin

Oh @thesnailandthewhale im with you - the boundless joy of a skip! My family tease me about my love of skips 😂

Ihateboris · 07/04/2024 10:54

Pretty feet 😍

That ring is gorgeous. I want some Esska block heeled sandals and a camper van.

I bought those sandals once and they had to go straight back as they were so uncomfortable and too wide.
