Kelly Wright
ByKelly WrightSep 6, 2022 | 12 comments

Beachly is a quarterly seasonal box for women or men, stocked with apparel, accessories, and lifestyle items that have a beach-forward vibe and keep you feeling close to the ocean even if you're landlocked. Each box costs $99, but will have a value of over $250 featuring 6-8 items from well-known brands like Aloha, Havaianas, Roxy, Billabong, Nixon, DIFF Eyewear, and more.

When you first sign up for Beachly, you'll fill out a few preferences to tailor your box to you such as top and bottom size and your shoe size.

This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.

Fall 2022 Items

The fall Beachly box is here! I get so excited for this time of year and the cooler days it brings. I just love the cozy, sweater weather and casual but cute, laid-back style that comes with fall. I was excited that Beachly emphasized the cooler season with a bunch of their picks for this box. It's packed full of great stuff that will keep you warm, but still with that fun-loving style Beachly is known for.

This season's collection also gave subscribers their choice of two out of three customizable options, all three shown in this review. I absolutely love when a subscription box does this. I think it really helps to get people excited and it ensures everyone gets at least a couple things that they love. Be on the lookout for your customization email as it should be coming out soon and you don't want to miss out on these awesome picks. Although, to be honest, I don't think you could go wrong with any of them!

So, let's get to the fall 2022 Beachly box!

PACIFIC PARADISE WINDBREAKER by Sisstrevolution - Listed Value $75

 

One of your first custom choices for this Beachly box is a blue and white color block windbreaker. This jacket reminds me of my middle and high school days (remember when we all used to wear these!?) and I was really digging the throwback vibes it was giving off. It is a pull-over style jacket with a hoody, drawstring waist, and a kangaroo pocket in the front. I really appreciated the drawstring waist as I thought the windbreaker was a bit long otherwise. Plus, I think it really added a bit of style to the jacket.

As far as the sizing goes, I am 5'5, 127lbs, and ordered a size medium. I definitely could have fit into a small, but honestly, the medium fit great and when it comes to clothing for the cooler months, I usually size up since I like everything a little big. I mean you need to have a little extra room for all the baked goods this time of year, right!? So if you're like me and want some wiggle room, then I would suggest ordering a size up. Don't worry if you didn't though, they should still absolutely fit if you ordered your normal size!

OFFSHORE JOGGERS by Aloha Modern - Listed Value $70

 

This is your second customizable option and also just might be the softest pair of joggers I have ever tried on. In fact, I walked outside to get a few photos of them for this review and ended up keeping them on the rest of the day despite it being over 100 degrees where we live right now. They have a drawstring waist, pockets, and fit a little more snug on the ankle. They are made of 90% polyester and 10% spandex which helps to give them just a tiny bit extra stretch.

I ordered these in a medium as well, but the small would have also worked for me also. I just personally think that if you are going to be comfy, you might as well have some room in your clothes to do that in! I'm also the person that will steal my husband's sweatpants and just roll the waist to make them fit, so I'm a big fan of loose sweats. Because of this they were a little less shapely in the rear, so if that is important to you, order your normal size!

14K GOLD MONSTERA STUD EARRINGS by Misha Hawaii - Listed Value $70

 

The Monstera earrings are the third and last customizable option in this fall Beachly box. These are really tastefully done and could easily be worn for both casual days out or a night out on the town. They definitely have a beachy vibe, and I loved the white and gold tones together.

These are also incredibly light weight. I usually don't wear earrings very often because I hate how heavy so many of them become after a night out. These might have actually been better suited in the summer box rather than the fall one, but I'm not complaining. They are cute and work with a ton of outfits. Plus, it still feels like summer here in Idaho!

GOLDEN HOUR BODY OIL by Cardea AuSet - Listed Value $72

I'm not usually a fan of oils, but this one by Cardea AuSet had me pretty excited. It is a dry oil, so it's not going to leave that slick feeling on your skin that some other brands do. It pretty much melts into your skin immediately and leaves it with a great afterglow. It also has a great fall smell, so it's perfect to spray on during these cooler months.

I actually found the smell to be pretty soothing...and it reminded me of a trip we took to Thailand a few years ago. The lobby of one of the hotels we stayed in actually had a very similar smell, so it brought back some great memories for me. This oil is a great addition to the fall Beachly box and I'm excited that I finally found an oil that works for me and my skin type.

MANGO WOOD COASTERS by Salt and Umber - Listed Value $35

 

I love these coasters. You don't need a coastal-themed house to make them work either. I feel like a lot of times housewares are too "themed" and end up working in only a small portion of the homes out there. These have a coastal style, but could work everywhere. (I imagine they look extra good with a glass of champagne sitting on top during the holidays!)

They have a chevron pattern with mango wood and are handcrafted in India. The wood also has a great shine to it...I tried to get that to show in the last photo, but pictures never do those sorts of things justice! But trust me, it's there! You will receive a set of four coasters in the Beachly fall box and each one is just a tiny bit different!

ISLAND TIME SHELL CANDLE by Vagabond Goods  - Listed Value $20

 

This is a fun little candle with a nice coconut scent, but I'm not sure I'll ever actually use it. I think it just reminds me too much of my grandmother's bathroom. That's not a bad thing, but it's not really my style to put out for decorative purposes. Plus if you actually wanted to burn it, you would need some sort of candle plate underneath it. I could see it being used in a basket of some sort with other "shell-themed" items. If your house happens to be bursting with that fun beach vibe though, this might be perfect on the ledge of your tub!

PUKA SHELL HAIR PINS by Salty Cali - Listed Value $16

 

These are really cute, but I feel like they would look much cuter on my friend's adorable little 7-year-old daughter. My hair is also way too fine to hold these in properly (this has always been a problem for me when it comes to any hair product, though). They are a nice addition to the box, however, and I can't really fault Beachly for adding them. They just aren't for me...even as much as I tried to make them work!

Verdict

This box was great and definitely worth the $99 quarterly price. Many of these items I would have considered purchasing separately due to their comfort level and/or practicality. The blue tones of both the windbreaker and sweat pants brought in a great ocean vibe for this fall box and I couldn't have been happier with the body oil! In fact the only item I thought was a true "filler" was the shell candle since I didn't see myself using it or decorating with it. The puka hairpin will be a great little gift for our friend's daughter and I will be using those coasters on the regular this fall and winter. All in all, I would highly recommend this fall Beachly box!

In a nutshell? I'm a bit of a walking contradiction!

I love traveling the world and stepping out of my comfort zone, but I can also be a complete introvert and will be totally happy hanging out at home with my family for days on end. I enjoy working out and going for runs or HIIT classes at the gym, but I also have no problem binging on a bag of cheetos and a glass of wine (which pairs surprisingly well together!). I love how I look dressed up and ready to hit the town, but am much more comfortable in a pair of sweats while watching The Mandolorian with my husband and two little boys. I love trying exotic foods and the different spices and textures that come with it, but my all-time-favorite meal is a juicy cheeseburger with fries. 

So, maybe I should just call myself well-rounded!? Whatever it is, I keep an open mind about everything and am always on the hunt for a new and exciting adventure!

i cancelled my subscription over this box. it is horrible, and the leftovers they sent me for the Summer box were even worse. I looked at Oceanista, but don’t believe sun visors and Turkish towels should be the star items in a beach- themed well- curated and not inexpensive quarterly box.

I believe I could definitely curate a better box with their buying power, and I would include a fresh Earth Naturals item and a fresh Hawai’ian brand of skin lotion or oil as well.

Sunglasses do NOT belong in a beachy box. Many people wear glasses now instead of contacts because of the bacteria and protozoan colonies populating both tap water and filtered water which are a huge problem in my tropical climate. Glasses mean ” No sunnies” of course.

I’m not sure how many items I was supposed to receive but not impressed with them. I got Aloha pants, a very small pillow, artisan candle, pumpkin body oil & a coconut candle that smells like candle wax. I would really like to return for a refund or for the previous box that had the palm tree sweater/cardigan in it which was the only reason I ordered a box. Thank you, patty coons

I received a half empty bottle of the Pirete or whatever their scent fave brand is body lotion. I wrote and asked where my shell hair clips are as I am a beachy style hair and Boho clothing person all the way. I was told there were quality issues with the hair clips.

I asked again about replacing the lotion that arrived smeared all in my box and they said ” We had a small shipment of the shell hair clips arrive and will send them out to you”. I don’t know what the quality level is, since they were not at all protective with the lotion on all that clothing ( I bought an extra tank top as well so full of clothes). However, the shell hair do dads have shipped and I will try very hard to make them be pretty and work well. 🙂

I just got my fall box! I love beachly but this box not so much.
The candle doesn’t smell like coconut it smells like something old.
Didn’t get the hair pins, received a card holder that i will never use. If your not going to receive whats published then give a choice!! Earring look cheap. Coaster and body oil are hmmmm ok. The only item that was worth the whole box are the joggers.

I think they might be cowrie shells on the hair pins.

You’re absolutely right. These are cowrie shells, not puka.
