See our picks for the items our editors want to blow our tax refunds on this year—from a fancy blowdryer to a statement bag, and even an exotic vacay thrown in the mix .

Minimal Bag

"I'd feed my purse collection with my refund. I love this small, luxury line from Germany exclusively carried at Roztayger, which sells a tightly curated selection of bags from around the world. The limited-edition design from Tsatsas is part insouciance, part high fashion elegance. I love that it's a deep blue and that it always looks slightly askew/open, even though it's actually snapped shut. The conscious consumerist in me also appreciates that the hide is sourced from animals reared for meat production and that the manufacturing meets the highest ecological standards.

"This Harry Josh hair dryer sounds like magic. Energy efficient and powerful, this pint-size dryer is said to cut drying time in half. How can I not trust the man in charge of Gisele's hair?" —Violet Gaynor, InStyle.com Senior Fashion Editor

Statement Coat

"My aesthetic is pretty minimal, but when it comes to tax refund money, I like to splurge on something completely against type like this No. 21 coat. The beautiful floral details are feminine so you'd expect it to be worn with a dress. I'd dress it down with frayed jeans and my trusty white Adidas Stan Smiths as an every day piece." —Diana Tsui, Senior Editor

Fantasia Floral-Print Cocoon Coat: No. 21, $2,374;

The colors are so bright you can't help but feel happy when you look at them. I recently bought one ( 1970) and I'm already craving another." —Selene Milano-Angel, InStyle.com Senior Beauty Editor
