The IRS tax filing deadline is today, April 15th, and we're hoping everyone gets a refund! We thought long and hard about what we would do with an extra influx of cash, and (not shockingly) easily came up with a wish list of things we'd splurge on. 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 . 

See how InStyle editors would spend their tax refund in our gallery!

Minimal Bag

Navy Tsatsas 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. " —Isabel Gonzalez-Whitaker, Fashion Features Editor

The Fluke Bag: Tsatsas, $1,050;

"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

No. 21 floral jacket

"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;

"I'm obsessed with these gorgeous paintings by Jenny Prinn, an artist and fellow mother of small children living in Maine.
