I absolutely love the Zoe Report Box Of Style.
I’ve been getting it since nearly the beginning – I missed the first two boxes of style. I actually found out about it because I had googled the best cross body handbag for summer and up came this amazing white leather cross body bag that was just perfect. It was amazing. And it was in the Zoe Report Box Of Style, which of course was completely sold out.
I didn’t want to miss out on anything so cool again, so I got myself a subscription. The Box of Style comes out at the beginning of each season, and is filled with key items that you need for a season of chic, all curated by Rachel Zoe and her team of experts. The box has a value of $400+ but only costs $99.99. Each season has a “hero” product that is worth a minimum of $100, but typically seems to be worth more. (This season’s Box Of Style Hero item is valued at $238). It does sell out each season, but now Rachel Zoe makes some extra, so if you are quick you can probably still get one.
Hello Gorgeous!
I have this theory that as women we work so damn hard, have so many pressures on us from work, running our homes and families all while trying to stay fit and healthy (and sane). I live my life perpetually exhausted. And I seldom take time out for myself or buy myself special things, so when my Box Of style arrives it is a really big deal! It feels like a reward. I love opening it. I love exploring all the fabulous things inside. My friends always ask me about it, and tell me to write a blog post about it, so this time I took photos and am sharing the Box of Style with you.
The Spring 2017 Zoe Report Box Of Style
Post Contains Affiliate Links
This one is extra special because each item comes from female-founded brands.
Tribe Alive Custom Carryall Retail Value $238
Handwoven in India with leather handles and cross body shoulder strap. Fabulous.
This bag was made exclusively for the Zoe Report Box Of Style by Tribe Alive, a company that empowers women from India, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras to rise above poverty in a safe environment, hand-making products with fair trade wages. Read more about Tribe Alive here
Adornmonde Ivo Earrings Retail Value $62
You can choose these earrings which are modern take on the hoop, in either silver or gold (I chose silver). They are extra cool because you can separate them and wear them as bars, or as paired bars and hoops. Super chic.
Symbology Scarf Retail Value $50
I never used to wear scarves, but now that I spend so much time in Europe, where the scarf is part of the daily uniform, I wear them all the time. This one from Symbology is another exclusive collaboration with Zoe Report. Symbology teams up with women in India and Palestine, preserving their cultural art forms from Indian block printing to Palestinian weaving, while creating fashion forward items.
The women are paid fair trade wages, enabling them to provide for their families while working in a safe environment. Check out this video about the company, and read more about them here
Tatcha Polished Gentle Rice Enzyme Powder Retail Value $65
I died opening this one! I have loved Tatcha products for years. I have written about the company and their products more than any other, because they are so special, and I love them SO much. Tatcha’s founder Victoria Tsai studied Geisha beauty rituals and replicated them in these incredible, high performance products. This one lets you remove winter’s dull residue from your complexion ever so gently, and lets your spring skin shine through. You will love this! And to make it better, it’s full size – the box of style doesn’t do trial size. See more about Tatcha here.
BKR Glass and Silicone Water Bottle Retail Value $35
This is the antidote to the cheap plastic bottle. No evil chemicals can leach into your water when you use this stylish bottle, and the silicone sleeve insulates and protects the bottle inside. Using the BKR refillable water bottle reduces the insane waste of disposable plastic bottles in landfills and oceans. Love it!
Butter London Nail Polish in Piece of Cake $18
I was reading that Butter London is the first company to make healthy nail lacquer. Who knew? All I know is that their products are fabulous, and after a long winter wearing heavy deep dark colors it is so refreshing to wear this gorgeous twist on a light, spring neutral.
Bonus product:
The Stella Artois Chalice (Buy A Lady A Drink)
Stella Artois and Water.org have collaborated here to Buy A Lady A Drink. 663 million people around the world lack access to safe water, a problem that disproportionately affects women because they are the ones spending millions of hours collectively per day, collecting water for their families.
Stella Artois and Water.org have partnered with this chalice to help give some of that time back. Each chalice sold provides 5 years of clean water for 1 person in the developing world. Read about it here.

. I saw this on a blog recently and had to click through and buy it. (It’s on it’s way to me now!) I love entertaining, and Camille’s book is full of fun, chic ideas as well as gorgeous recipes.
