September @Wantableco #Accessories & #Jewelry Subscription Box Review #Wantable {#Photos}

September Wantable Accessories and Jewelry Subscription Box
Want to try out Trendy Accessories that are delivered fresh right to your door every month? Wantable.com is for YOU!

















My name is Tracy, and I am a 'Subscription-Box-A-Holic', this is where you would say something supportive like 'No worries Tracy, we are too'. But then I'd have to promise to stop and I know I am NOT going to do that!

Un-boxing Subscription Boxes is a tough job, and somebody's gotta do it. I think it only fair it be ME!

For me, Subscription Boxes are like my birthday and Christmas all rolled into one. They are much like snowflakes as so far, no two boxes have been alike (and I try out a ton of them!), which is exactly what I love. I have never had a 'been there, done that' reaction to any box from any service so far.

Last month I opted for the Lingerie box from Wantable.comand this month I am trying out an Accessories Box. I have a confession to make, my first Accessories/Jewelry Box from Wantable wasn't the best experience, but I love that when I told them so, they wanted to make it right. As a consumer that put me at ease. Just like people are advised in dating relationships to test the relationship under a variety of variables before making a full commitment, I liked that they were open to honest feedback and continued working with me until we hit on something that really resonated. That my butterflies is a business you want to patronize. Not everything is wine and roses all the time, it's how it's handled that makes or breaks the experience in my opinion.

I was a bit nervous when this box arrived as the first experience wasn't a total rave, but when I opened this box it was packaged so much differently and more carefully than the first had been. Inside there was an assortment of surprises, all good ones. Let's Dive in:


September Wantable Accessories and Jewelry Subscription Box














September Wantable Accesories Box Included:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Jocelyn Ring - A big bold statement ring that keeps with the Rose Gold Trend!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Jill Headband - Fabulously Tribal Inspired Headband to take you right into Fall in style! (I wrapped the headband around the box so you could see it better)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Elise Watch - This Gun-metal colored beauty is bold, trendy and has it's own magnetic closure to adjust to most wrist sizes.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Theresa Bracelet - Mixed Metal with touches of Rose Gold makes this bracelet the perfect partner to the Jocelyn Ring!

My Take:

I haven't quite yet hit on my perfect Wantable Accessories Box yet. I keep putting LOVE on the Statement Necklaces and still haven't been sent any yet, so I am going to have to play with my pre-box survey settings until I finally hit on one. These are definitely items I may not have thought to pick for myself, but I am a huge watch lover so was stoked to see a watch that was also in a color I have never owned in a watch. I love that gunmetal grey color! I love the Tribal Headband and actually have a blouse that matches it, stay tuned for a photo of me wearing it! I have worn the bracelet and ring together also and have received tons of compliments, so I would say SCORE! I do however wish I could try out all four boxes per month because I hated giving up the lingerie box, and now want to try the new Fitness Box to see how it compares to my current fave in the fitness box subscription space, Fab Fit Fun.


I love that Wantable has a little something for everyone, you can get an Accessories Box, an Intimates Box, Makeup Box or Fitness Box! You can go "Forever" and subscribe for $36 a month or you can opt for a "For Now" which is the purchase of a single box for $40. Note that Subscriptions are shipped automatically each month, but they can be skipped or cancelled at anytime and if you get a box and you are not in love? Send your box back for a full refund, no questions asked! Now that is what I call ZERO RISK butterflies! And as no two people are the same, no two boxes are ever the same either, pretty cool right? oh, and did I mention that shipping is free in the United States?

I have to thank this Wantable Box for introducing me to Cate & Chloe Jewelry, I love their pieces as well, and they also have a subscription box so I am going to have to reach out to them for sure!

Which piece resonates most with YOU Butterfly?

Enter to win the @FabFitFun Reader Appreciation #SubscriptionBox #Giveaway via Ascending Butterfly! #FabFitFun

FabFitFun Summer 2014 Summer Subscription Box
FabFitFun Summer 2014 Summer Subscription Box


As you know I am a Fab Fit Fun VIP Blogger, which means I get to try out the new boxes when they are released, this time around my Summer Fab Fit Fun Box never arrived so the lovely folks at Fab Fit Fun quickly sent out a replacement and within 2 days I somehow ended up getting two of them. I normally would have passed the extra one along to a family member or friend, but I am all about Paying it Forward and I thought I would instead use the second box as a Reader Appreciation Giveaway as a way to say Thank You to all my butterflies (other folks would say readers, but you are all butterflies to me).

This is the summer 2014 box but in my opinion all these items are fantastic year round. Let's take a peek inside the box shall we?

My Take:

I absolutely adore being a Fab Fit Fun VIP Blogger, I love Subscription Boxes and I think they make great gifts. No one will have a 'been there done that' reaction to it. I have yet to open one box from Fab Fit Fun that felt like a let down. It's not just a matter of the retail value of the products being higher than what you pay, it's a matter of all those items being well curated and USEFUL - be it for yourself or the gift recipient. This has been one of my most fun Ambassadorships to date and the fact that I actually got to meet Giuliana Rancic in person is the icing on the cake.

Win It:

It's been awhile since awhile since I have hosted a pure Reader Appreciation Giveaway that is being fulfilled solely by me, and I am super happy to do something fun for all my butterflies, I hope you enjoy Fab Fit Fun as much as I do! Please note the prize is the box as shown above with any exception being noted in the box subscription, the prize is this specific box, not a full subscription.
