With all that extra cash in hand, you can totally justify making those splurges you’ve been dreaming about at The Shops at Columbus Circle. Let’s go shopping!

For Your Jewelry Box
When you have found money like this, there’s no better excuse to spoil yourself and no better treat than a new piece of jewelry. Wrap the 18-karat rose gold vermeil “Splendour” bracelet ($275) from Links of London around your wrist and you’ll think about your windfall every time you wear it.

For Your Wardrobe
What’s missing from your closet? A head-turning handbag. Give it up for the luxurious Bancroft Large Calf Leather and Snakeskin Satchel ($1,390) from Michael Kors, which is cleverly designed to convert from a refined satchel to a roomy tote for maximum versatility. It’s a timeless piece that you’ll never regret.

For Your Travels
Now is the moment to get rid of that old beat-up suitcase and treat yourself to a Tumi bag that makes a real style statement at the check-in line. You’ll sail through security, too, with the aluminum “Degree” International carry-on ($995) in ivory gold. Have it personalized at the store for maximum visibility.

Sure you can head to a coffee shop every morning, but there’s nothing more indulgent than a perfectly brewed cup at home. With the Nespresso/Breville Creatista Plus Espresso maker ($599.95) from Williams-Sonoma, you’ll never step out uncaffeinated again. Sleek and stylish, it’s also perfectly sized for petite urban kitchens.
