So I read yesterday Leona Helmsley left $12 million dollars to her beloved pooch, Trouble. It got me thinking, not only did I want to be her dog...but what would I do if someone left me $12 million? One can dream right?

It's sad by today's standards one million or even $12 million doesn't really set one for life, but it sure sets one for some fun! OK, if I had Trouble's new fortune I would first put $11.5 in the bank/investments, but I would go on a bit of a shopping spree. It's fall and momma needs some new clothes!

First, I need some new wheels! Bentley Continental GTC Base Price (estimated): $250,000

How fun to dream... And you were actually very practical with some of your selections! Like the Helmut Lang pants...and the LV luggage! But I loved the YSL blue suede boots! Why not get 'em in blue? The dog can't dress this well!

Love the list Lauren! Love Fay Cullen, they are the most reputable antique jewelry dealers on the internet. I have sent pieces to them for estimate and they always send them back in a nicely wrapped box :)
