Quarterly Co.

I may be the only person within a mile radius who still watches Project Runway, but that hasn't stopped me from remaining totally obsessed with Nina Garcia. A fashion guru who nails it everyday, she stuns in sleek and streamlined sophisticated clothing. Not to mention that since she has taken over as Creative Director for Marie Claire, I have seen a marked difference in the level of glamor and engagement.

A few weeks ago, I discovered, via her instagram post, obviously, that she has partnered with subscription box company, Quarterly Co. Quarterly, Co. partners with a list of "curators" who are rockstars in their respective field. These thirty curators hand pick items for a box that will arrive to customers once every 3 months. The boxes have a more premium price tag ($50 - $100) than most other box services, which is probably why they chose the quarterly distribution model. The most innovative part of the company is the vast number of categories covered by the box offerings. In addition to a box of fashion, beauty and lifestyle goodies curated by Mrs. Garcia, customers can sign up to receive food and cultural items curated by Andrew Zimmerman, music and lifestyle items selected by Pharrell Williams focused on "curiosity," and several boxes centered on men's lifestyle and fitness curated by NFL stars. 

I signed up right in time to receive the March Nina Garcia box. When it finally arrived, I experienced a level of glee usually reserved for catty Bachelor episodes and nights out with the girls. Some of the items will get more use than others, but definitely a fun experience overall!

Feast your eyes on the contend of my box:
