Trunk Club February Box Review

The arrival of the trunk

The initial un-boxing experience

Each box comes with a packet detail the items in the box, which will generally include: packing list & return instructions, pre-paid return label and tape strip to seal the return. 

Detail of the items of clothing included and the cost of each item to keep

The personalized note of why the items were included by the stylist.

Now on to the items:

Happy socks, $12 to keep.  These are really cute under slacks, and also the latest in men's fashion.  This is a keeper for my guy. 

Alternative Apparel long sleeve shirt, $40 to keep. I love this shirt, this is the perfect shirt for relaxing and allow those sexy arm muscles to show through without looking like the guy is trying to show off his arms. 

JKT Blazar, $398 to keep.  This is the blazer that the stylist chose all other pieces after.  I am not sure how I feel about this blazer, but I may ask my man to keep it to wear to to polo.  It is light weight and summery. 

Grant Rugger plaid shirt, $135 to keep.  While this shirt is soft, he has too many plaid shirts already, this one is going back.

J.Press pants, $88 to keep.  We are debating on this one - the man can't decide. 

Bespoken shirt, $175 to keep.  I really like this shirt, i want a female version of this shirt for myself. 

J.Press Belt, $89 to keep.  I like this belt a lot, however, this is one belt I felt that we can find it somewhere else cheaper, thus I am request him to send it back. 

ADL socks, $14 to keep. The pattern on this sock is a little plain for me. This one is going back. 

Jeremy Argyle sweater, $158 to keep. 

J.Press shirt, $88 to keep.  He wants it, so he is keeping this one.

DL1961 white jeans, $168 to keep.  Not sure how I feel about this pair of jeans, I hardly ever see guys in white jeans other than on models - I guess I will just have to wait and see if he keeps this one. 

What do you think of this curation? 

Wantable Edits v. Collection

Wantable is a monthly subscription that offers 4 different options between beauty, accessories, intimates and fitness.  However - not all their subscriptions are the same, and I always get confused.  Here is a quick overview from Wantable explaining the differences between their subscriptions.

My personal favorite is the Intimates Collection - I am not big on the Edits concepts (or other subscriptions call them Stylist Fees), since it still required me to pay "more" after all the goodies arrived.

POPSUGAR Must Have October 2014 Review

My POPSUGAR MUST HAVE October box came late - at the last week of October versus the beginning or middle of the month.  By this time I already know all the items of the box from spoilers on the internet.  Regardless, I was excited to get it because I had stop "anticipating" it, and it was a surprise.

POPSUGAR MUST HAVE is a lifestyle subscription box at $39.99/month including shipping.

Now time to dig in after reading the card of what October box include (the card is above the tissue paper that covers the box when you first open the box).  

I am always amazed how the items stay in place in these POPSUGAR boxes.  Do they also pick items base on size and how it fits inside the box? 

I am so glad that my Dean & Deluca Pumpkin Spice Maltballs came in tack versus completely melted like some other subscribers. See melted ones here from another subscribers.  I wonder if you call POPSUGAR and mention the melting issue that they would do anything to fix the situation.  

Can't have too many pairs of socks! I always love socks with cute patterns on them.  There is nothing like wearing a pair of socks at home during the fall to cozy up to.  I can see myself putting these on when I cuddle to a good book already.  (Now...if I only have a fire place).

I don't generally use soap - I am more of a body wash type of person.  I did hear really great things about this soap.  This will probably live in my hostess present box until the next time I attend a party.

I love love love love love this candle!!!!! They smell so good and being able to change the message is so fun! My chalk broke in 2 pieces, however, nothing I can't live with.

Items like this "Nailed Kit" is the reason why when the box come so late in the month it is disappointing.  I only have a few days to try them all out before Halloween is over and I have to stash these away somewhere before next year.  Chances are, by next year, I would have long forgotten about about them, which means these will never see the light of day. 

I love how versatile the ISAAC JACOBS photo frame is.  These clear frame can adopt to any environment.  It is one size fit all. Love it! 

Finally, these cards or flyers with coupon codes on them.  I generally find them useless and throw them away.   

My box was missing the butter LONDON WINK Eye Pencil.  I am going to call Popsugar customer service and see what they say. I will update when I find out.
