Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[Boulderbon]

Got my box today also! Was so excited, I filmed it right before work! 

I absolutely loved the bangle. I'm already wearing the shirt to bed..it's a little oversized, but very comfy! I feel a little guilty wearing a $55 t-shirt to bed though. 

I have no idea what to do with the poster though, and I don't think they did either lol!

Pretty sure I'll be signing up again for the next box.

My Nina Garcia box came early!  It was due on Monday.  We came back late from a trip and I ran to get the mail and noticed the box (along with the FFF box) on the porch.  I had to unpack the car and get the kids to bed.  Even though I was tired, I had to look inside to see what I got.  

I received the elephant bracelet, yellow fashion notes, and the four leaf clover Happy Chic John Adler frame.  I like that she has her signature on all the items.  I didn't have time to look at all the items so I am going to have fun playing with it today.  Such a wonderful box.  I think her future boxes will be like her first one.  But, I am definitely going to stay subscribed.

How do you tie the shark tooth necklace?  It came tied in a knot.  I don't think I want to do that or else I won't be able to take it off my head.  If you tie it in a bow, I would think it could come off easily.

Because of the tassels, you don't need to worry about tucking the ends in.

I just made it long enough to get over my head and tied a knot in the back

Thanks for posting about how to knot the shark necklace...I was dying yesterday trying to untie it, hahaa. 

Even though I agree that the first box had a very luxe feel to it, I still think the items and value of the second box is insane. Is everything in the box something I would buy for myself? Of course not, but if that's what I was looking for it seems silly to gamble on a mystery box in the first place. What I love most about this box is how involved Nina Garcia is in curating it (or at least, that's the impression I've gotten from the first two boxes). Unlike Fancy boxes, where the company just has stuff and celebrities give the "okay" on 4-5 items, I really get the impression that Nina and her team take more time in customizing this box. I'm super excited for #NGQ03 and can't wait to see what theme she's going with for the summer. I'm hoping we'll be getting that around late June? Fingers crossed!

Yes, this exactly! Her box feels so personal & special. It feels truly curated with care.

You're too nice. When I pulled it out, my husband and I were like WTF? and it went straight into the recycling bin. I guess we don't have an appreciation for this type of art.

Ha! I did give the picture a screw face when I saw it but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt since I hadn't seen it in person. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got my box! I was away from home for a few days and came home to it by my door. No shipping notice or any indication from the site that it had gone out to me, but I don't care! I love it! I got the skull bracelet, which I am thrilled with. It was exactly the one I wanted. I also got a mustard-colored notebook and the chevron frame, which I was also hoping for.

The t-shirt is great too. I actually got the black and white polka dot turband in my FFF box and was wondering what I would wear it with and then the shirt showed up and I realized I got lucky! LOL They go together perfectly.

So, so happy with my subscription. (I'm also sort of addicted to the Tom Ford perfume; is anyone else obsessed with it???)

omg the Tom Ford perfume... I spritzed it once on my wrist and I couldn't stop sneezing! I had to go and wash it off. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I liked it but I don't think it liked me. 

 

[jesemiaud]

Mine is out for delivery!

 

[phanne]

I don't think I'm ever getting mine. I know the shipping email went out only 5 days ago, but it feels like I've been tracking for months.

 

[dayzeek]

I loooooove the Tom Ford perfume, so much that I want to buy it. Holy wow it's so expensive! I definitely think I'll try it a few more times to see how long the scent lasts while wearing it before splurging.

 

[jesemiaud]

Yay! I have it! My thoughts...

Muy Cool TShirt - It's big, but I'll wear it to run

Shark Tooth Necklace - uh...not my thing. I'll trade

Nail Polish - not sure I like the color, but I'll give it a go. 

Revive Serum - I'll use it

Wallet - put away for now...I'll either use it or gift it

Donkey Co Tea - fun! I'll drink it this week.

Pen - it's a pen...I'll use it.

Notebook - I got fuschia...very pretty.

Frame - I got the one that looks like it has four leaf clovers on it

C Wonder Bangle - I got the pave cone bangle; I'll try to trade for the elephant one.

Lafco Soap - wow...it's huge! I'll use or gift

Perfume Sample - smells nice

Laura Mercier Compact - I didn't realize it was cream blush - I'll have to think about if I wan't to keep it

Philosophy's Time in a Bottle - I'll use it

Collage - threw away

Magazine - I'll give it a look see

All in all, I'm glad I got it.

I got my box today and I have mixed feelings about it.  LOVED that things felt truly curated and special and I believe that they are things NG uses/likes.  But there were so many things that weren't quite for me and having so many "not me" things kind of added to the disappointment, if that makes any sense at all.  But it isn't enough to make me quit the next one!

Variations--got the green notebook, the heart bracelet (on my trade list already), the clover frame ("quatrefoil").

 

[Jodym]

Oh, I hope for an elephant bracelet! My daughter's birthday is coming up and she is obsessed with elephants. It would be perfect for her. She's already getting the bauble bar elephant ring holder from PS...this would be a perfect addition. My shipping hasn't updated so I have no idea when it will arrive. This is my first NG box and I really like it. I may cancel FFF and PS and keep this one.

I love last quarters fff and couldn't get into this month but stalking this site I'm soooo mad I didn't get this box!

 

[jbird1175]

Well, I got my box and brought it home to check out the contents. I wasn't super thrilled by the spoilers and checking out the box in person didn't change my mind. Like I said in an earlier post, I love the variety of the box and the types of items she chose. I am just not crazy about each individual item. I like that there is a necklace, bracelet & nail polish...but none of them are "me". Just not my style. I will be selling my entire box. I'm a little sad because I love Nina and thought I'd love her box. Sigh...

My variations: yellow/marigold colored notebook, skull bracelet, "clover" picture frame

 

[feisty1]

Received my box and I love it! This is my favorite box to date! I actually got all the variations I wanted which almost never happens! I loved everything about the box and will use everything in it. I loved how each item was wrapped with her brand, you could tell thought actually went into this box and not just random items. My variations: clover frame, the elephant bracelet and the pink notebook /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[boxesandboxes]

LOVE THIS BOX!!  Loved both of her boxes for different reasons.  Absolutely will use everything.  Rocking the top right now.  Variations: skull (love!), mustard notepad, chevron.  Nina really knows how to curate a box!  So happy that I got in on this from the beginning.
