I just got my box. I already have a signed copy of the book so that was a bummer. I knew there would be something DVF but thought, for some crazy reason like maybe the name of the box, that it would be a fashion item. The burlap bag is cute but cheap, kinda like something you would get free at cosmetics bonus day at Neiman Marcus. The MJ bracelet is not something I would ever buy, and I like MJ jewelry. It has an $88 price tag inside but there's no way this didn't go down to $35 or so on Hautelook.

The only think I like are the earrings but no way are they a $400 pair. I wouldn't pay $100 for them.

It feels like Popsugar just asked designers for freebies they had lying around. I guess I should have expected this but somehow I thought they'd put in a little more effort to make this high end or at least fashionable. It's really neither :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think this is it for me with Popsugar :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Still waiting to see my box in person. But y'all know i do NOT want a book about fashion. I love books. But my expectation was truly wearable items, items that fit, actually wear.

Next. I think you guys make an incredible point. Can you imagine a $300 pocket book over those earrings? Hello large size Marc Jacobs pocket book! I'd be in heaven. Oh well. Tough LE.

 
More popsugar responses about the price of the earrings  Hi , we reached out to them once our customers noted the price discrepancy. The price noted on our pamphlet is the correct price that is now listed on their website. This was not, in anyway, to increase the value we noted earlier. This was an error that has now been corrected.

Hi , please be assured that their pricing was an error. It was not swayed by responses from our subscribers. Our Customer Support would be more than happy to address any additional concerns you may have.

Oye, this is my question on the topic :how long were those earrings listed on the website?  I mean if they were just added I can see it being a typo those things happen but if they ve been up there for awhile and selling them at that price I find that a major mistake to miss.  But hey nobody is perfect could happen I guess.

Has anyone fit into the MJ bracelet? You might be onto something. These were intended to be thrown out or seriously discounted because they were a children size???? Now I just sound bitter. I'm not. Just was wishing for a home run

 
I fit into it barely, but it's not cute.

Also: burlap bag doesn't have a shoulder strap and the handles are so short you can only barely grab them. I kinda think all these items had some kind of defect/overstock and that's how we got them.

 
If these were intended for outlet or defective I almost wish we would have gotten some more "emerging designers"

Quality, functional, beautiful stylish pieces that add to our everyday wardrobe that would have been a treat to us. Was that too high of an expectation? I crack myself up.

 
Forgot to mention that this was the color of lipstick I received....

Although I would have preferred a bag with more fashion sensibilities, I really do like this bag and it seems to be very well made.  It's like a heavy duty grocery bag - I think I will make it my very fancy designer bag for recycling.

I've just cancelled my PSMH subscription. I don't feel like dealing with them anymore, I feel betrayed, honestly. I know it's silly but I'm done.

Not too silly really.  I'm pretty close myself and will probably cancel over the weekend AND for sure will not go near any more LE boxes.   I'm sure the next one will be great too but enough is enough. 

I really did throw away $195 on a mixed bag of (insert adjective) - it also looks like most of us could have purchased the fashionable equivalent of this box at our local Marshalls/TJM store for a 1/3 of the price.  

** fixed 2 typos :blush2:

Are the earrings real poison darts? Maybe that's why they are so expensive.

If I did have pierced ears, I'd be afraid to put anything called poison dart in them!

Of course they are real poison darts. You gotta refill them. Duh. That's how they make their money

Jk
