Chanel Chance Eau Vive And The Chance Collection

So Chanel Chance Eau Vive came out on Friday 12th June and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle.

I bought it from Boots for £79.00 for the 100ml bottle.

Chance Eau Vive is actually a lovely scent. I don't like it as much as the original Chance or Chance Eau Fraiche, but it is still really nice.

It is quite citrusy to begin with, but the jasmine quickly kicks in and takes the fragrance in another direction. As the fragrance settles it has a gentle, woody scent, but it is still dominated by the citrus and jasmine.

I have all of the different Chance fragrances. The first one I bought was Chance Eau Tendre (pink, but looks a bit yellow in the photo below - still smells the same), which I liked the best at the time. I got the 100ml bottle, but I went off it a bit. I still like Chance Eau Tendre, but it is quite a generic fragrance. It is fruity and it reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy.
When the limited edition 150ml Chance bottles came out I bought Chance eau de toilette and also the Chance Eau Fraiche eau de toilette in 150ml bottles. At first the original was my favourite and then Chance Eau Fraiche became my favourite, but they are both amazing.

Chance Eau Vive is the only one that hasn't been my favourite yet and I can't honestly see it overtaking Chance and Chance Eau Fraiche, but I think it is probably my third favourite in the range before Chance Eau Tendre.

I love the Chance range. I can't see any more fragrances being added to the line in the near future, but I like that they take time over their fragrance compositions instead of pushing four bottles per year out like Marc Jacobs are at the minute.

10 Boohoo Dresses!

I like to check out Boohoo.com as the summer comes around. I bought some gorgeous dresses a couple of years ago. I've just had a look on their website.
Here are a few of the dresses that I like:

This one is £35.00 and it is similar to a dress by Quiz. I think Boohoo's dress is less detailed, but it is also cheaper. 

I love this mint coloured dress. The lace cap sleeves finish it off nicely. A nice dress for just £15.00!

I love this style of dress. It is flattering, but very comfortable. It is £20.00 and you get the pleated belt with it.

I'm not a huge fan of the neckline on this dress, but I like the pattern and the long sleeves. This one is £15.00.

I love this pretty, lilac, strapless dress. It looks a lot more expensive than its £30.00 price tag.

 This colourful, floral maxi dress is amazing for just £20.00. The black top makes it!

I have mentioned in previous posts that I love navy dresses so I was instantly attracted to this gorgeous navy dress with lace around the bottom. At just £25.00 this would be a great gift for me ;-)

I really like this patterned sun dress. It has a real festival look and costs just £15.00.

I love this cream butterfly print dress. Another comfortable fit and for just £15.00.

 I really like this colourful maxi dress. I think it'd be great for holidays abroad and it costs £22.00.

I think Boohoo have some lovely items on their website. Their pricing is really good especially if you don't want to spend a fortune on clothes you're only going to wear once or twice per year on holiday.
They have a bigger variety than typical high street stores and you don't find people everywhere you go wearing the same outfit as you like you do with Primark clothing.

ASOS Walls Ice Cream Range!

ASOS are having a 20% off day today when you use code, BIGWINS, but it is not until next week that ASOS bring out their new range in collaboration with Wall's Ice Cream.

I think all of the items are pretty cool. What's your favourite?

My favourites are the sandals with the Twister heel, which are £50.00, the starship lolly print skirt, which is £25.00, the Starship crop top, which is £22.00 and the sequin lolly print dress, which is £150.00.

Top 5 Desired Items The Wrong Side Of £500!

There are a lot of more expensive items I've had my eye on recently so here are my top 5 desired items that cost more than £500!

I love this ring. I have had my eye on it for months, but I don't think I'll be getting it any time soon at £750.00. It is by Le Vian from their Chocolate range.
It is a 14 carat strawberry gold ring with a cushion cut raspberry rhodolite garnet with 'chocolate and vanilla' diamonds on the shoulders. I think it looks stunning!

I love this handbag by Loewe, but at £1450.00 it may also be something that I don't get around to snapping up.

I love the design. It comes in lots of different colours, but the brown one is my favourite.
I like that the logo is quite discreet. I prefer to have something that looks nice rather than something that has a logo or label printed all over it.

These Charlotte Olympia shoes are cute. I think pink clothes and shoes can be a bit hit or miss, but these are a nice dark, pink colour. They cost £565.00.

I saw this Bond No 9 perfume on the Harrods website a few years ago. A 100ml bottle costs a whopping £750.00 and is covered in pink Swarovski crystals on both sides.
The problem is I would feel guilty spraying it at that price! 

I quite like this Valentino heart print dress for £2175.00. I wasn't too keen on their famous studded heels, but I must admit they look really nice with this dress.
I love the cut of this dress.

My Desired Items!

There are lots of things on the want list at the minute!

I really want the new Vera Wang Hippie Princess eau de toilette. It is very uplifting and it has a summery feel.

I could do with a new handbag. I really like this New Look design and it is reasonably priced at £34.99. It is a great size and I love the colour.

I really love the shape of these round toe platform heels from New Look. They come in lots of different colours, but these lilac ones would be amazing for the spring/summer months. They are well worth £19.99.

I have had my eye on this gorgeous tanzanite and diamond ring for ages. I adore the design. I love the way the stones cross the ring diagonally. The design is amazing. This ring is from H Samuel.

I love this dress from Oasis. It's so bright and colourful and it can be dressed up or down. It costs £35.00. It has great reviews on the website from people who have bought it too.

A Few Shoe Picks!

Modatoi.co.uk stock a huge range of shoes and I have ordered some gorgeous designs from them over the years.
Having a look at their current stock there are plenty of designs to choose from for the spring and summer months.

I love these simple, round toe, powder blue heels with a small platform. They are available on the website for just £19.20.

I love these light green shoes as well. The chunky heel is gorgeous and the platform is a lot bigger. These shoes cost £25.10.

I also love these wood effect heel and platform shoes, but cannot decide between these four colours. The black ones are quite striking, but I also love all of the neutral shades. These ones also cost £25.10.

I love the unique paisley design and the colours used on these six inch heels although I'm not sure I would wear them myself. These shoes are also £25.10.

I quite like these nude pointed shoes, which have a much lower heel and cost £19.20.

These black shoes aren't particularly summery, but I love the shape of them and the trim. These ones cost £29.20.

I have far too many shoes already, but it is certainly fun to seek out more pairs!

Irregular Choice New Can't Touch This Designs!

Irregular Choice have recently added two new pairs of Can't Touch This heels to their range. I love the Can't Touch This shoe design and I have 8 different pairs of them! I love them all! 

I like the new designs, particularly the black ones, but at £94.99 I don't intend to add them to my, already excessive, collection any time soon.
I have to admit I prefer the previous designs to the new ones, but it's nice to see Irregular Choice adding new options to this line.
