What’s your next BIG S&B purchase?

I need another waterproof pair of On Cloud trainers. I lived in my black ones over winter - perfect when it’s wet & so much warmer than my regular ones. Now I know how much wear I get out of them I want a lighter colour pair but at £160 this is a big purchase for me! Will start saving…

Whats your next big purchase?

Teeth whitening and a crown/veneer.

IM NEVER BUYING ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. Well, until my Vinted package comes

ShaunaSadeki · 14/04/2025 13:18

Braces! But not quite sure when.
I also have a pair of UGG sandals that I can’t decide whether to send back or not. I am veering between thinking they are really nice and that they look like the boot you get with a walking cast when you break your ankle & at £90 I need to decide as that is a lot of money for me

I’ve been looking at Ugg sandals too. They’re quite the look & I’m debating whether I could pull them off or not! I have the same dilemma over the Birkenstock’s Boston (I have a dupe pair from M&S)

I want new Gazelles and birkenstocks.

Just ordering a silk shirt to wear at my df 90th birthday lunch celebration.

SoScarletItWas · 15/04/2025 18:52

Bought a third pair of Gazelles yesterday, justified when I realised I could get the older teen/youth size for £55 instead of nigh on twice that for adult!

I’ve fallen in love with these after loving but never buying the stiletto sandal version

I’m saving for another pair of On trainers too OP. I have dark green ones that I’ve worn pretty much non stop for 2 years and they are starting to wear out. They are the only trainers that actually hold my feet in place as one of my feet over pronates and all other trainers seem to take on a wonky shape because of that.

Also, my perfume supply is running out so that’ll be another big spend - I wear Guerlain’s apres l'ondee and Penhaligans luna and sadly neither are very cheap!

Havetoagree · 15/04/2025 21:33

I’ve had my eye on some doc martens sandals and also those adidas gazelle trainers but can’t decide what colour to get. The sunny weather is going away for a bit apparently so I can probably shift the doc martens purchase to next pay day 😂

henlake7 · 15/04/2025 21:41

Probably a new pair of prescription glasses which will cost several hundred, also kinda necessary though.
Unnecessary would be a new pair of Converse.

Hattieandcake · 15/04/2025 21:54

Designer sunglasses and &other stories jeans and spring jacket 😮
Also need some Charlotte tilbury bits.
contemplating the big buckle Birkenstocks.

Ooooh they are gorgeous. I wanted the stiletto versions as my wedding shoes but they just didn’t fit my feet.

MabelMoo23 · 15/04/2025 22:02

I desperately want Botox again as loved how it made me look

Ohh - I would love this. I have an ancient crown on one of my front teeth and the other is damaged and discoloured. How much are you expecting it to cost, if you don't mind me asking?

Aparecium · 15/04/2025 22:13

Oh my, I love those Memery shoes! I wish I could justify buying about five different pairs!

Summerhillsquare · 16/04/2025 07:09

@lifemakeoveri think about £700 just for the crown, I moved to a private dentist last year though and am having orthodontic treatment first. I basically thought I might as well do it properly, and be hung for a sheep as a lamb 🙄

Gymbunny2025 · 16/04/2025 07:23

So many!

I need an eye test then new glasses and prescription sunglasses. That will be ££

there’s a few things on my Sézane wish list that I’d like to order for the summer

i I want some summer gym clothes (from Lorna Jane)

sigh!

Summerhillsquare · 16/04/2025 08:11

@Gymbunny2025try Asda, super value and nearly all the fancy lenses are included (except the transitions ones, which I paid £40 on top of my £80 thinned lense glasses) I don't go anywhere else now.

VanillaSpiceCandle · 16/04/2025 08:22

A completely unnecessary purchase but I bought an AllSaints leather jacket yesterday from Vinted. I have exactly the same one in nude and wanted the black for ages. Very pleased to have not paid £350 for it!
