I just found out I owe thousands of dollars in taxes this year, so while I’d love to splurge on a Vetements hoodie, I’ll probably settle for Champion instead.

My apartment is in desperate need of a makeover, and I am hoping to finally give it some love with my tax return. This is really embarrassing to admit . . . but my top three priorities are:
1. Swap out my “art” from Bed Bath & Beyond in the bathroom with a cool mirror.
2. Swap out my “shabby chic” duvet set from Etsy for something a little more grown-up.
3. Get rid of my red wine–stained bedside lamp for, well, just a new lamp.

After I put away most of my return in a savings account, I plan to purchase these Gucci loafers. They will be a staple shoe for quite some time, as they are versatile and classic.

What better way to celebrate your tax returns than with a nesting pair of lovebirds perched on your lobes? This turquoise and coral pair are particularly festive for twittering around in springtime.

I think it’s time that I retire my MacBook Air for its newer, younger cousin, the MacBook. Since I’ve been traveling more year over year, the fact that it’s slightly lighter than my current one will go a long ways for me. (Every little bit makes a difference!)

I don’t expect a refund this year, but in the event I get a little extra cash to play with, I’m always on the hunt for the perfect aviator shade. I think this rainbow-lensed pair from Victoria Beckham will fit the bill for years to come.

The black patent faux-leather jacket from Courrèges! I’ve never really worn leather jackets—I just don’t feel like myself in them—but the glossy finish and mod, boxy silhouette on this one are right up my alley. I’d wear it constantly, either with jeans and ankle boots or with a skirt and ballet flats, which makes it a lot easier to justify the price tag.

I unfortunately owe the IRS this year, but I’ve nevertheless celebrated the arrival of spring by acquiring some jewelry by my friend Sophie Buhai. These earrings are a forever piece—they stop people in their tracks, and they’re beautiful objects in themselves, like mini sculptures to adorn a tabletop or shelf. After all, tax season is a reminder to invest wisely.

I bought the Céline red boots . . . I’ll have to pay myself back when my tax return arrives. And the rest? Well, I paid myself in the form of a deposit into my savings account, because nothing feels as good as that!

Despite being a hard-core denim nerd and all the praise I’ve heard lavished upon Alexander Wang’s jeans, I’ve yet to wear any of them. I love the wash of this pair and, at 5-foot-2, the fact that they’re just a bit cropped.

After a transformative visit last month to Doris Duke’s Shangri La, the beachfront Honolulu escape filled with the heiress’s monumental collectsion of Islamic art, the least I can do is use my tax return to channel her globe-trotting, surf-loving spirit. This tropical one-piece evokes the local flora, matches the Iranian tilework, and stays put in water or on land. If there’s money leftover, I’m signing up for ukulele lessons.
