I read a 5th Avenue Style review and decided to purchase the box. People may wonder if bloggers receive a better box. This box was intended for a customer. 5th Avenue Style was unaware that this box would be reviewed on a blog.

Subscription: 5th Avenue Style Deluxe Box One Time Purchase

Cost: $159.00

What to Expect: 4-5 luxury branded pieces with a minimum value of $500.00

Notes: I purchased the one-time option. 5th Avenue offers a monthly deluxe subscription box at $159.00 per month. The monthly deluxe subscription is the same as what I purchased. It is 4-5 branded items with a minimum value of $500.00.

5th Avenue Style also offers a subscription box for $98.00 a month. The subscription box offers 4-5 luxury non-branded items with a minimum value of $350.00.

5th Avenue Style has a short survey and note section that you fill out prior to purchasing a one-time box or starting a subscription. I strongly suggest utilizing the note section to allow the curator to meet better your expectations.



Little Lamb has not given up on finding the lotion bar.

Little Lamb is sniffing over the box to see if there are any goodies for him. The box arrived inside a shipping box. I placed my order on September 22, received an email on October 2 that it will ship October 6th. It was accepted on October 7th and arrived on October 9th at my house. The box I purchased is a one-time purchase. Double-check the details when ordering a monthly subscription.



The box

The box has magnetic closures.  It’s not on par with the Oui Please box. I wasn’t expected it to be either. I’m sharing my observation because we are a blog that takes sunscreen, cats, and packaging seriously!



Lots of items

Did your heart skip a beat when you saw the picture?  The box is packed full of items. I have visions of a scarf, handbag, and jewelry dancing through my head.  Will my expectation match what is received?

I kept it broad because I wanted a great mixture for the fall season.

Crystal and Amethyst Statement Necklace Gold/Multi- Romeo & Juliet

Romeo and Juliet Couture Crystal and Amethyst Statement Necklace: I took the pictures outside on a bright sunny day. I am not a jewelry stylist and do not have mannequins etc. to style jewelry properly. The description in the picture is the description on the 5th Avenue Style Packing Slip.

Closeup

It’s a pretty necklace that I will wear. It’s a little out of my comfort zone, but no one will know that when they see me wearing it.

Tag

It’s a branded accessory as described for the deluxe box. It does have white in it even though I marked white as a dislike.

Does it remind you of romance?

Layered Chain with Crystal Necklace Gold/White – RJ Graziano

RJ Graziano Layered Chain & Beaded Bib Necklace:  The link shows that this is a clearance item at Neiman Marcus. The necklace has white in it.

Closer Look

I’m disappointed by the lack of color. The necklace redeems itself by looking wonderful on me. It will be put to use for the upcoming holiday season.

Tag

It’s a branded item!

I feel snobby writing it’s a branded item. I’m writing it to see if 5th Avenue delivers what it promises.

Geometrical Stone Statement Necklace Gold/Hematite Alta Vintage

Alta Vintage: I contacted 5th Avenue to find out if vintage referred to the age of the jewelry or the design. 5th Avenue responded that all items are new.

Closer look

I did not like the necklace until I tried it on. I have the perfect shirt to wear with it!

Open shapes

The design will also pick up the color of your clothes because of the open shapes.

Tag

It’s a branded item.

I wouldn’t have to ask inquisitive questions if I could find the companies on the internet!

Medieval Inspired Stone Pendant Necklace Silver/Amethyst – Private Label

Medieval Inspired Stone Pendant Necklace Silver/Amethyst: I’m not sure why a private label is included in a branded box.  I like the design. I did not ask 5th Avenue Style because of the amount of items I received.

Closer look

It does not strike me as a  timeless/classic style. Does anyone know if the design has a meaning associated with it?

I could use the pendant to hypnotize the cats to take on the goat syndicate!

Hammered Open Style Cuff Bracelet Matte Gold/Neutral – Rivka Friedman

Rivka Friedman Cuff: I wasn’t able to locate this specific cuff on the internet. It has an interesting design that will go with my fall look.

hinge

The cuff comes with a hinge to make it easy to wear. The cuff did not bother my arm or wrist.

Hinge closed

I do not know if cuff bracelets are considered to be classic and timeless. I was cuff bracelet ignorant until a couple years ago.

Unless we are talking about the bedroom. Wait, wrong kind of review!

Tear Drop Crystal Cuff Bracelet Gold/White Romeo & Juliet

Romeo & Juliet Tear Drop Cuff Bracelet:  I requested no white. The word white is in the description. I do not consider this to be a timeless or a classic piece.

Side View

I have no clue to the metal content of the bracelet.

Hinged cuff

It is hinged allowing for a better fit. It came with a tag that you can see on the right-hand side of the photo that states Romeo & Juliet Couture.

I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. I don’t think there is an in-between feeling for this cuff.

Jeweled Flower Knit Headband Black – Cara

Cara Knit Headband: The headband is black. I will be using the headband soon and it is a good choice for my area.

I am going to feel stylish wearing my headband!

Verdict: It is difficult to write this verdict. I spent $159.00 on 4 necklaces, 2 bracelets, and a headband. The box lacked variety and ignored my dislike of white. I do not think all the selections fit the timeless/classic style. I am disappointed to not receive a scarf especially when a scarf is shown in their styling photos. I had a hard time finding the companies and accessories online and do not know if my 5th Avenue Box value is over $500.00. I do not know the type of metals used in the jewelry. An information card would be helpful in letting subscribers know metal mixtures especially for those with allergy concerns. I have no clue what type of metal is used in the Romeo and Juliet Cuff Bracelet.

5th Avenue Style is new to the sub box world and there will be bumps in the beginning. I advise using the note section to detail further what you desire and like. 5th Avenue Box went beyond the 3-4 item in my box. The extra items were a pleasant surprise. I will use everything except for the Romeo & Juliet Cuff. I still can’t make up my mind on that cuff!

Disclosure: There are no affiliate links. This box was paid for by me.
