Nina Garcia Quarterly Box #NGQ10 FULL Spoilers!

I found some better photos of the bracelets… https://shopgoodcloth.com/products/round-textile-bracelet

Got my box today. Tried to make the top a top but it was a total no-go. I couldn’t even make it tie. And apparently the only hat option they had was brown.
This may possibly be the worst box I’ve ever received. I’m so angry right now.

I recieved this box today and kept an open mind upon delivery. I even figured that if I didn’t like the “top”, I could always just tie dye it and possibly use it as a a shawl/wrap. Well, i would have, if the scarf had been included in my box. I really don’t mind that this box is hit or miss. It just really bums me out when items are missing. On a happier note, I think I might be able to rock the hat. 😁

Just Google image search”Tome Wrap Top” and you will get tons of hits. It definitely isn’t for everyone, but I think it looks cute, particularly over a tshirt or tank. I also think they’re doing themselves a disservice by calling it a wrap ‘top’ instead of just a ‘wrap’, since they advertise it as being versatile and can be used as a belt, scarf or head wrap, too. It does seem to be marketed towards smaller women, though, as does a lot of Tome items. That industry is still behind on designing for women of all sizes, even though it says it’s catching up. Sigh.
All that being said, though, it’s WAY overpriced for what it is, particularly on the Tome website.

I can’t get that top to come up but if it looks anything like the rest of those not pretty clothes this is an easy pass.

Im not trying to be a downer here, but i have to express that this wrap top is pretty inappropriate , especially as the hero item. Its the kind of top that looks best on only certain body types- thin, athletic, smaller chested girl. It wont look good on my curvy, 38g body. Of course not all box items can be a perfect fit for everyone, but this style of top excluds lots of people. Im definitely not judging anyone whos comfortable wearing it. Honestly it just makes me feel sad. I wish it would look look on me.

Anyone interested in my hat? I forgot to cancel the box and I received it. I am not able to return it even unopened.

Will someone please, please, please show us what the top looks like? I can’t find it anywhere. The link just brings up a general page with some of the ugliest clothes I’ve ever seen.

I clicked the link for the “shirt” but it doesnt come up? Where can I see this thing? lol

I missed out on the summer box and that one looked so good. I can tell that I am going to be disappointed. Bummed. I’ll keep the subscription for now, but may just cut my losses sooner rather than later.

Does anyone have a better picture of the bracelet?

The hat has good reviews….hmmm, might consider just ordering the hat from the website.

I like the hat but I dont get this box…

I feel like such a negative-nelly about this box….sorry in advance 🙂

I received mine yesterday (shockingly, Hawaii is usually last for everything..LOL) and I am unfortunately extremely disappointed in the box as a whole. The hat is meh, I have so many flipping hand creams from subs I could fill a bathtub with it, the “top” is really not practical at all and is a big miss for me all together…it literally looks like it belongs with your graduation attire, heel cream is meh, eye masks are in so many subs, and the bracelet, while I love the concept, is not flattering at all. I may be passing on this one for a while until it improves again. I used to love getting this box.

Aloha!

I can see how the top is not a universally appealing style, but I give her some points that she went BOLD for a style box! I’d swap for this top!

Wow, that top! **cringe, cringe** There are so many more flattering tops on the Tome website, but clearly this one was included because no one was buying it/ was a clearance item. Nina Garcia gives off an air to me of arrogance, like one should just be pleased she’s even “curating” a box for us mere mortals. I would be offended if I spent $100 on this load of “you-know-what”!

I can’t believe no one has listed the Tome top or the hat…If anyone is swapping them let me know, I would totally be interested. Cheers!

I wish I could cancel my order. This box is absolute garbage.

Nina Garcia has just been appointed the new Editor-in-Chief at Elle, by the way. I wonder this box will continue and/or get better.

Yeah….no. I’m a curvy girl and that ‘top’ is a joke. I might try it as a belt but IDK that I’ll use it much that way either.
Love the hat (although I’m hoping maybe there’s the 3 color options and I get the gray shown on the hat website).
The rest???? MEH. I have tons of eye patches and I need another lotion like I need another hole in my head.

This is such a disappointment. The top is worthless. It’s not even useful as a piece of cloth. There has always been something I really liked in each box, but heel balm and hand cream don’t make up for this ridiculous thing they’re calling a top. It’s an odd shape, weird material & nothing like a scarf or belt. It must be a summer item that just didn’t sell.
The hat is nice, but not me. The lotion is heavily scented. Smalls nice but would be overpowering if I were to use enough to cover my hands.
I basically paid $100 for heal balm and one set of eye moisturizers.
Boo.

Oh goodness. I find it hard not to be a little negative on this one. At a minimum the value of Nina’s boxes is usually pretty decent, but her items are not always universally appealing. She typically takes me out of my comfort zone, which I genuinely appreciate (those headlock were a great example), but I am struggling with this one. I think that top is just a wee bit too far outside of my comfort zone this time (I WISH i had the body to pull something like that off!). And as far as the value, Shopbop has the wrap top on sale for $68 right now so even the “$225 hero item” doesn’t really cut the mustard.

Well I guess you can’t win them all. I guess this isn’t quite as bad as the Ballin’ hat. So there’s that. Sigh.

I hope this box gets reviewed on MSA –I look forward to seeing who gets to model the wrap top! (And Liz said the flower brooch from PS was out of her comfort zone…)

This box is awful. The “top” is virtually unwearable for the vast majority of people. The hat is fine but only priced at $45. The whole box save the top is worth 75 at best. yuck. anyone want my top?? ill sell for a good price!!!

I got the fall box and absolutely loved it. The last box, with the karl Lagerfeld tote looked pretty good but I passed. I would have been very disappointed with this box. The scarf top isn’t for me, and the other items have RV of less than $100. Unless you really love the scarf wrap top thing, this box is not a good idea.
