Here is a better picture of the magnetization that I speak of…

You can notice the two strong magnets at the opening. You should be able to lay this box flat if you wish it so.

I might not fall into style but I definitely bought $350 a year of saying “Zoe styled me”!

 

First peek!

Here is the nifty booklet that shows pretty pictures and says pretty things.

Pretty things that make you want to pay up $$$ for a Box of Style.

This is when I sensed that I will definitely need those lint papers included in the box 😉

Here is an up close and personal shot of the actual cape because I have not seen it elsewhere and had tried to figure out how this cape ACTUALLY looked like.

 

And here is my model Pipsqueak:

She is such a ham!

 

And her sidekicks Squeak and Squeakette assisting!

Ummm… more like distracting.

The cape also makes a nice warm wrap in a one size fits all!

Baby dragon and ruffled butts also make a comeback for the fall!

 

Speaking of those lint papers, here they are!

I bet ya that Hollywood Fashion Secrets are giving their stuff for free in Zoe. Must improve their sales if they are still doing it. Also very smart item since it is a needed sidekick for the cape!

Smart marketing department I render.

Two sets of 30 sheets!

That is 60 sheets of sticky goodness.

Like Post-Its for lint!

I did not major in Marketing… just took one class in college 😉

B-Low The Belt Gatsby Whip Solid Black

B-Low The Belt Gatsby Whip Solid Black

This looks oddly naughty close-up. I have not watched nor read 50 Shades of Grey but I would imagine that the tassels would look like these. If you click on the link you will see that it is really called a “whip”. I don’t make this stuff up folks. I mean if marketing markets it as such then it must be one right?

Here is the whip in its original packaging.

And exposed and measured (2 feet times 4 so perhaps 8 feet in length)?

Didn’t you notice the word “whip” in the item description? Just making that clear if you missed that point.

I want to run around the condo chasing my husband with my cinch (as Zoe calls it) in a totally fun but not kinky way.

Rachel Zoe Tassel Bracelet

Rachel Zoe Tassel Bracelet

I think there is an error with this bracelet retail value. I believe it is $9.50 and not $95. The quality is not there for the actual bracelet at that cost. There are two other tassled items in her store and those two items have identical tassles that look ten times more quality than this piece. If this bracelet is  really in Zoe’s collection, it should not be exclusive to Box of Style because there is no way people would buy this compared to the other gorgeous quality products on her site, tassles included 😛

Nice try Zoe, this is NOT worth $95.

 

However, The pouch it came in with looks like it would hold an expensive piece of jewelry from Zoe! It is lovely and high quality and I do bet this is the bag that comes with a piece of jewelry from Zoe’s actual collection.

There was a choice of three “universal” gloss stains (I choose the semi-opaque of the bunch) to choose from…

So no one could really complain of “another gloss” because she could pick her shade.

Verdict: 

I  may be all tasseled out but alas, I paid major pnuts for this box and my excuse is “I was styled by Zoe”. I needed a belt that did not have notches and this box definitely saved me the money in purchasing one (which probably would have taken forever). I love the cape it is cosy and would be perfect for nursing in too. I will stash those lint papers in my pouch that goes everywhere with me. My bracelet reminds me of Onderria because if it were a bit chunkier it would really be like that chunky “Mr. T-like” bracelet from PopSugar of last years that she loved. The IT lippy was chosen specifically to go into my friend’s lippy pile (she loves glosses and I am her gloss dealer). I am SOOOO excited to have the cult item IT Eyebrow Pencil and I do see what the fuss is about!

Great job Zoe!

But just please do the unboxing video by yourself from now on forward.

    LOL! Love your review, Pnut! So funny and true! I got the Wine Berry gloss, and even though glosses and I are not friends, this one looks so good on that I am giving gloss another chance. Don’t blow it, gloss! I really like the bracelet and have been wearing it a lot, too. I totally agree with you about the unboxing videos. I don’t know why Rachel Zoe is not doing them anymore, but they’re 100% better when she does.

      Thanks Elizabeth! Great minds think alike 😉

        On a side note, I totally cut off that little charm that was sewn onto the label of the cape. I was afraid that the pointy end of it would poke through the material and cause a hole eventually.

    I watched the unboxing video and the bracelet looked awesome. The bracelet in your hands doesn’t look the same as the video…I am actually tired of these repeat fake jewelry items with their high pricing. You can buy a real gold bracelet or at least real silver for $300 and it will last forever. To me fake jewelry has a limit to the value no matter who designed it because the finish will rub off and then its junk. Its really a shame I guess they use these type pieces to boost the retail value of the box without actually having to pay a lot for the wholesale. On the positive side the cape is lovely and seems high quality. I am sure you will use it a lot!

      I think it would be better IF they did not say it was part of Zoe’s collection because to put a cheap metal bracelet amoungst the other items in the collection and say its part of the collection is BS. With that said, if it had the metal quality of the Mansai cuff and/or identical tassel of the other two items my pitchfork would be at my side instead of raised high to the heavens. I am loving the cape more its in my paws! Thanks for commenting Laura 🙂

    Pnut, this review was some of your finest work to date. lol,lol,lol many many times!

    I don’t subscribe to this box anymore, but I bought the cape off ebay and I LOVE it. It’s so soft, but dressy enough to wear for nice occasions. It’s going to be like snuggling up in blanket at some formal function. And I love that depending on how you drape it, it looks more like a white wrap or more like a black one. I don’t look nearly as cute in it as your Pipsqueak, but I’m still pretty thrilled.

    • September 16, 2016 at 12:09 pm

      Thanks Ake!

      The cape is sophisticated cozy central! I am glad you were able to get one. Enjoy!
