I noticed the VW Sunday dress for half price (in certain colours) online recently -
in case it would be in your budget at that price.

Thanks for this. I absolutely cannot justify any new clothes right now though!

I’d purchase fireplaces that would have been here originally.

A bunch of vintage Adidas and Mugler i could get my hands on

A solid assortment of Gerard darel trench coats (i know they’re not that expensive but they’re expensive for me)

Chanel handbags

LV luggage.

Do I get to change my whole lifestyle though? Because my LV luggage might look a bit out of place on an EasyJet

After wanting a Cartier Tank forever I bought one 18 months ago and zero regrets. I wear it with a big smile every day.

Currently lusting after a medium classic black Chanel double flap bag. The exact one I want with silver hardware is currently on a luxury pre-loved site and I have to sit on my hands to stop myself!

May I ask which Tank you bought?

Cartier tank watch
diamond tennis bracelet

A diamond tennis bracelet would be the top of my list.

i used to work in a jewellers before I had children and can always remember selling a diamond tennis bracelet and can remember how stunning it looked on.

Any vintage car. Maybe a vintage Porsche

A bought a classic Chanel flap. It was so disappointing that I sold it

Too many fakes exist to make buying a real Chanel flap worth while. Such a shame as they are ten a penny in my local city on a Saturday night.

A few years ago I saw a gorgeous Colombian emerald with a yellow gold rope twist setting. It sold before I could give it serious consideration and if I had the money and patience I’d have someone track it down and offer whatever it took to secure it.

Porsche 911 1980s turbo in black

Another vote for Diamond solitaire earrings. Lab grown, in yellow, please.

An Aston Martin DB5.

Ditto and an Omega watch.

Weirdoero · 06/01/2026 00:58

An 18 or 22ct. red gold vintage watch.

It is the most beautiful gold. It’s old rose gold really - or welsh gold sometimes called. It’s gold mixed with copper without any silver.

Modern rose gold has mainly silver added and it’s very pale. Red gold is like normal gold but warmer toned than straight yellow.

ChattyCatty25 · 06/01/2026 02:02

A whacking great gold chain

Jessica McCormack pear-shaped engagement ring.

A green card

Ugh, you and me both! Hoping (American) DP proposes soon - preferably with a Jessica McCormack pear-shaped engagement ring 😁.

Magpie50 · 06/01/2026 02:48

Something from vintage Vivian Westwood or a townhouse with original Art Deco features.

PauliesWalnuts · 06/01/2026 03:16

Roger Vivier shoes and an aquamarine emerald cut cocktail ring.

HumphreyCushionintheHouse · 06/01/2026 07:10

A ticket for a trip on the Orient Express (hopefully without a murder).
A chanel flap black w black hardware.

Nifty50something · 06/01/2026 07:24

Another one wanting a Max Mara wool coat.

I love Cartier tank watches too but I wear a Garmin watch and think it would look silly to wear two watches.

Beyond that I'd hire Stella McCartney to style me and just buy whatever she told me to.

May I ask which Tank you bought?

I had always wanted the classic Tank Must. When it came to it I tried on several including the Panthére and a Francaise just to be sure, but the Must won out.
