I’m Sold on Box of Style – Curateur

The first box didn’t fully sell me. The second one did. Here’s what I actually used and why Curateur finally made sense.

Laaaaadies! I am so hyped. I just received my second Box of Style – a fashion and beauty subscription thoughtfully curated by celeb stylist, Rachel Zoe. With this second, winter box, I. am. sold. I started with the fall box and loved every, single item. Nothing went unused. But I wasn’t sure if it would be a one-off, love fest so I held out judgment and endorsement of Box of Style until my second box. Needless to say, now I’m sold on Box of Style (now known as Curateur).

When I wrote this, Curateur was delivered seasonally and offered a few different ways to buy in, with some customization depending on the box. That structure may look different now, so I would not use this old post for current pricing or membership details. What I can speak to is the fall and winter 2019 boxes I actually received: they were full of luxury items at a fraction of their individual retail value. My most used items from the fall box are the Dannijo “Elisa” necklace and the Shani Darden resurfacing serum (this stuff has my skin looking dewy and clear). The Rachel Miriam, croc-embossed leather card case is stashed in my purse. I love the color and style.

On to this winter box though. The Andrea Forhman diamond pendant necklace is a pretty, layering piece that will look especially beautiful with a crew or V-neck outfit. It’s an every day, glam type of necklace. My Starry Night candle by Ethics Supply Co. – I’m honestly torn on this. It is such a pretty and clean scent – very neutral. It would make a great gift but I want to hold onto it as well. The candle jar would look beautiful on my vanity, it’s definitely one you’d want to repurpose. The other favorite in this box is the Maison du Soir floral robe, which will never be used as a robe. If you like kimono style, you’ll love this “robe.” It’s timeless, always on-trend, and a great staple / neutral piece for your wardrobe. I’ll be rocking it:

  • Over slip dresses in the spring
  • Over monochrome denim looks in the cooler months
  • With some of my shorts and minis this summer.

In other words, this baby will be on repeat. I love that it’s not a silk robe that would wrinkle too much, be uncomfortable in certain seasons and overall be harder to care for.

I only got this Box of Style a few weeks ago and I was already jonesing for the spring box. This was my experience with the 2019 version of the subscription, so I would check Curateur directly for whatever the current membership, pricing, and availability look like now.

What sold me then was simple: I actually used the pieces. The necklace fit right in with my layered-jewelry phase, and that floral robe was basically a more polished cousin of the dusters I already loved wearing.
