Reviews | Snob Box December 2015


Hi guys. I know I've been inactive for a month now but I've in store for you guys the new subscription box SNOB BOX.

SNOB BOX, is not actually a subscription service but you can schedule your boxes every month  or multiple times a month. It works in a similar way if you guys know about STITCH FIX.

Okay, so this is how SNOB BOX works,
1. You sign up and  then  you're taken through a series of questions about your measurements, likes and dislikes. You can even connect your Pinterest or social channels to help out your stylist with their choices.
2. You can also ask them to give you something in particular too.
3. Then you need to schedule your boxes and then wait for it. You might get a call fom your stylist if they need more information.
4. The budget of the boxes vary between 1500 - 15000.

You actually get a personal stylist for yourself, as cool as it sounds.



So, I did get my first SNOB BOX in the month of September  and to be honest, I was not impressed by it.
If you guys know me by now, I'm more on the simpler side and go for neutrals and delicate jewellery. But my first box had some really chunky jewellery and a blue shirt which I kept BTW. But also a black skirt which I returned immediately because I did not like the stitching and it was unraveling at various ends.



So I had high hopes from my second box. I got it today and I was kinda disappointed with it.
First, I got this really cool white shirt (Rs.1000) which had black lining on the sleeves and the button part. According to Snob box, this is a crisp white shirt but it was not. But I liked it. So I'm KEEPING it.



Then I go these cool earrings (Rs.345), they were multi coloured and geometrical and I LIKED it. So KEEPING it.



The item which I was most disappointed about was the peasant blouse (Rs.1095)  they had sent me. It did not look attractive and I did not like it. It looked very faded. SENDING it back.




 I also got a Lavender color sling bag (Rs.1190) which is so not me. Also I did not like the structure of the bag and decided to SEND it back.






The last item is a long layered delicate tasselled neckpiece (Rs.518). Honestly, I did not like it mostly because of the trouble it would cause when it gets entangled. But also I did not like the way the neckpiece look. Very tacky atleast for me. SENDING it back.


 


I personally did not like my SNOB BOX. The first box I had bought was with the budget 1500-2500, which turned out to be bad and I ended up keeping only one item from the whole box.
This time I went for an higher budget, 3500-4500, but the box was not great. I'm keeping only 2 items out of the 5.
VERDICT: Happy to have this concept in India, but I guess SNOB BOX has to improve on their stylists and also giving the best in the budget given by the customer. And also give more attention to the customer's preferences.

I might not schedule another SNOB BOX.

Tips | How to update your look instantly ?


You don't have to always try the same routine for your everyday look, switching some things in and around can work wonders and give an instant chic update to your usual look.

Some of the tested-and-tried tricks are here for you,

#1 Button your blouse all the way up 

This tip quite simple but when you try it you will understand how getting those few buttons up gave an easy sharp look. it allows you to carry on a sophisticated and incredibly chic confidence. Pair this look with stilettos for a powerful outfit.




#2 Add a boxy vest to a casual outfit

Adding a structured element like a vest can sharpen the lines and also give a strong statement to the look.



#3 Add a thin belt to a shift/Tee dress

I've always spoken about how you should always look put together, so the next time in doubt how to do that, BELT IT !
This can tighten up the silhouette line and make you look more preppy.



#4 Add a belt to your blazer

Clinching your waist with a belt can definitely give you a feminine shape and make the look more put together.



#5 Wear a fitted skirt under a boxy fit top

Adding a fitted skirt to a boxy top and add an instant sophistication and elegance to the look. 

Tip: Try finding skirts with interesting hemlines.
