Wantable January Accessories Subscription Box Review

Hello Vancity Girlfriends,

Since January is my birthday month, I decided to continue with Wantable Accessories really hoping that a watch would show up in a box.  When the box arrived, it was a small box, but unfortunately a watch was not inside.  Instead it fashioned a neutral brown scarf which will be a nice added touch to my solid coloured dressed.  A little scarf 'bling' to add colour to my wardrobe.
I also received two pairs of fashion earrings and a silver toned anchor bracelet.  

Wantable Accessories base my choices on my individualized style profile so it's personalized based on your choices.  

This is my third Wantable Accessories box and most have been perfectly   matched to my everyday taste and colour tones to match my business casual wardrobe. It was my fault that I forgot about Wantable Accessories box was arriving to update my personal style.  However the January Wantable Accessories box had nice quality pieces that I am happy with.  

In the end, it's a great surprise gift, but it is more expensive at Cdn $50/box all inclusive (exchange rate, duty, taxes, and shipping).  I've decided to take a break from Wantable Accessories to relieve the wallet.  






It was a 'bling' treat to get Wantable Accessories Box and try something new.  Want to try Wantable Accessories yourself?  Sign up at WANTABLE.
 
Vancity Girlfriend Carolyn had a wonderful idea for us to do a 'jewellery' box of our own with the same budget of $50 Canadian.  That's the only way I could guarantee a watch.  LOL.  Watch out for that on the Vancity Girlfriend YouTube channel for 2014 to see what accessories I can buy for that budget.

Wantable November Accessories Subscription Box Review

Dear Vancity Girlfriends,
We were super excited at our last vlog night because we both received our Wantable Accessories Subscription Boxes for November.  
This is a jewellery box that is curated based on your personal style and taste.  They know this because when you subscribe, you need to complete the style quiz that tells Wantable what you LIKE, LOVE, and HATE.  Simple enough.  
In your box, you'll receive what you LIKE and LOVE and they'll avoid what you HATE.  I love the quality of the accessories in the Wantable Accessories Subscription box and the surprise of receiving a gift in the mail. 
Let's check out what we received in our November Wantable Accessories subscription box.  First is Maria's larger Wantable Box!

Wantable September Accessories Subscription Box Review

Dear Vancity Girlfriends,

I'm calling it Wantable time!  Now this is a box that surprised us all!  Firstly I decided to order the Wantable September Accessories box and not tell Carolyn.  So she was surprised to unbox our first jewellery subscription box.  

When I first heard about Wantable Accessories box, I was hesitant because I didn't like the style of the boxes from the reviews.  The jewellery was too trendy or stylish for me.  Now I'm a classy lady and I love everyday jewellery that will last!  However as more reviews of the box came out I realized that the jewellery and the accessories box really is different each time depending on the person.  So of course if I'm reading a blog of a 20-something year old, her style is going to be completely different from mine.  That's where the personal style quiz comes into play.  The first thing that you do when you subscribe to Wantable is to answer a series of questions that tells about your personal style.  You can dislike, like, and love items.  

My September Wantable Accessories box really showed my personal style and the quiz worked!  I LOVED all of the pieces and am impressed with how well each piece suited me.  My Vancity Girlfirends also wowed at the Wantable box!  


Quotation Mark Stud Earrings

Lacole Bracelet - Classic Multi tone bracelet

Lulu Necklace - Bling for a simple dress.

Cali Bracelet - Great with jeans for everyday!
Wantable September Accessories Box
 I ordered the Wantable Accessories monthly box which is $46 US/month ($36 for box + $5 shipping to Canada + $5 duty).  The suggested retail value of the items in the box were valued at $88.  Overall I'm impressed with the quality and value of the Wantable September Accessories box. 


If you like my accessories style here is what I put on my personal style quiz.  
I love:  earrings, necklaces, watches, scarves, silver tone.  
I liked:  classic, glam, mix 'n match, bracelets, multi tone, wood, beads, skulls, inspirational text.  (PS I don't actually like skulls but I know Carolyn LOVES skulls so that was for gift giving purposes).
I dislike:  rock n' roll, boho, urban, rings, sunglasses, headbands, gold, acrylic, leatherette, and the rest. 

Til next time,
Vancity Girlfriend Maria
