Chanel Chance Eau Tendre

Hooray for Boots points!  I finally collected enough of these magical points to allow me to buy the perfume I’ve wanted for ages, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre!  Yes, it was an arduous and extended process.  I was never much of a fan of the original Chanel Chance, however I’ve always liked their third generation, Eau Tendre.


They describe the scent as, ‘a fruity-floral constellation in which echoing scents of Grapefruit and Quince intertwine with Jasmine Absolute, warmed by the feminine note of White Musk’, my thoughts exactly :)

The thing I most love about this perfume is that it really lasts throughout the day and develops into a much softer fragrance than when initially sprayed.  I suspect this will be a new classic for me, go try it!

Forever 21

Yes, as I suspected, a Forever 21 order was imminent!  I placed my order on Monday and it arrived on Thursday, so quite quick.  It was a bit of a gamble as to what to order having not actually been in a Forever 21 shop before, but my venture was a success.  In terms of sizes it’s much better to go by the actual measurement chart rather than dress size, to be sure of a good fit.  Firstly I chose 2 cardigans because it’s coldddd!

The first one:


I love the buttons on this cardigan, it’s quite long on vertically challenged people like myself, but not too long.

The second one:


I didn’t like the shape of this cardigan as much as the grey, however it still fits well and is cosy!

Next I chose this jumper: 


This was chosen mainly because I love the colour, but it’s also fleece lined so yes it’s very warm :)

I’d heard a lot about Forever 21 jewellery and wow there is a lot to choose from, and all at very good prices. 

I went for a Christmassy reindeer necklace:


And a chunky pearl ring:


So yes that’s it, my first Forever 21 haul!  I really liked what I chose, and was impressed with the quality.  I feel it’s closest to H&M in terms of the kind of styles they stock.  So it’s definitely worth taking a look if you’re a fan of H&M, or even if you’re not you still have to look at the amazing jewellery!
