Five made to measure bootleg trousers with a bit of stretch for comfort. Heels to go with them
Three amazing jackets each one more stunning than the last Made in NZ. I don't need these for work so I can push the boat out here a bit stylewise
Custom made perfume just for me.
Two exquisite rings with aqua colored stones and gold also made in NZ.
It will just take time and these will all be mine.
Delayed gratification is good for the soul and gets the planning perfect
My husband Bob sends you all his regards. We had a great 30th wedding celebration last Sunday. 30 people, spring sunshine, yummy food, a lovely friend who brought his rocket coffee machine, lovely flowers. Being with good friends is a gift you cannot put a price on. You can't buy it
And I'd have to agree with Carrie...more time and money would be awesome...I could take trips to see the boyfriend without worrying about denting the bank :)
So, I guess the real answer would be time & money to play with, so that my family and I could enjoy life and the way everyone should get to at least one point or period of time in there life.
Esy. A villa in Tuscany and my own private jet.

However, I do covet a modern eco-friendly house(designed by me)on many acres of land mortgage free of course near the ocean. I would fill my house with original art from my favorite artists. I need to stop here because this post will be VERY long.
As for me, I'd probably like to own a private jet so I could get to all of the places in a more serene way.
Warm regards,
Janice
I would love property by the sea. with a garden that heals and feeds. A studio in the barn. An extra cottage for my friends. The time to nurture the garden myself,and a kick ass espresso maker!
See you there!
1) Luxury-class travel anywhere, anytime
2) An original Elisabeth Estivalet
3) Diamond cuff bracelet
and some Hunter rubber boots so I can weed in Style!
-a weekend house on the beach or with a great ocean view/access
-both co-designed with architects, designers
-financially secure to support both without burden and have money left over for travel (and maybe a personal cook and a personal yoga/pilates trianer)
I would like to own a painting by Kehinde Wiley or a photograph by Gordon Parks.
Life is good. Pool or no pool, life is good. Okay, throw in a gorgeous being cashmere wrap and I'm good to go.
Great answers from all.

A summer home in Portugal.
A personal assistant.
A store-sized art studio with the best sewing machine, yarns and fabrics from around the world.
Wow - I need to start one of those style files...
I like the old Bently idea. An old Bently could probably be made to run on mostly fryer oil...
I'd like an airplane that runs on clean energy...with a cute salt & pepper pilot to fly it...and a bunch of Apple stocks that I bought for 5 cents back in the early 90's (to pay for it all).
Unlimited flights around the world for me and my husband.
And a luxurious 3 bedroom apartment in Paris (3 bedrooms so friends and family can come stay with us)

Trying to find a middle ground, maybe Frank L.W with some classic hardy board and stone work...I have had a Style File for 10 years now and at times like this it's my lifeline. Plus ripping things you love from magazines is so liberating!

As for me, my lux dream includes: a chef, a totally gas free luxury car,
and best of all would be my beach house with the screened in porch that has a door that slams behind me, as I head out beyond the sea grasses and dunes, to the ocean where I walk for hours along the shore, collecting treasures scooped up between my bare toes - and then I curl up in a soft canvas hammock, back on that sun drenched porch with my dog eared copy of A Gift From The Sea by Anne Morrow Lindberg.. for grown up girls only... sigh.
Oh, I must continue.. I nap (something I never allow myself and long ones make me cranky). And when I wake, my sandy feet make their way to the white washed kitchen, where the chef has created my favourite thing in the world to eat after a day at the beach... a peanut butter and jam sandwich on thick slices of home-made, yeasty bread. It's a childhood thing that reminds me of my mother - whom I miss more today than yesterday.
But practically speaking, I'd love a summer condo on Vancouver Island - then I can paddle all season long and have a beautiful place to escape to if I need some quiet 'me' time.
Talking to Carrie was the spring board I needed (or you could call her and the Style Statement the steady breeze). Took careful and determined planning. Read a few books. Brenda Kinsel is helpful here for the hopelessly badly dressed. Trust me here i am not putting myself down, I'm telling the truth.
Everyone can see the difference. The medical director of the hospice where I work said "If I did not know you I would be sure you are having an affair" Total strangers (male) approach me and set about describing my personality to me. So my life has taken some surprizing turns since I started to dress myself boldly and gracefully.
Peace and grace to you
Jennifer
start a serious declutter of stuff you know is baggage
Buy the book and trust your own inner knowing
"Lochend" is a shared property now with 4 cousins and my brother(and families). I can usually swing 2 weeks with my family, but we now live in Vancouver and though getting east is a priority, it's quite an investment now. I've been looking at alternatives to extending our stay and next year I hope to swing it. Thanks for asking.
a tlingit totem pole
a murakami painting (or a rothko! love him!)
a sugimoto photograph
an emerald ring
More attainably, someday I'd love to have a necklace and matching earrings of cultured pearls. They're something beautiful that would make me feel beautiful every time I wore them.
First, digital wallpaper so I can change the colour of my walls at will.
Second, a personal tailor with unlimited budget.
Third, a teleporter.
Four, an ostrich boa for Friday nights!
