If you aren’t familiar with Golden Tote, here’s a really quick intro: Every month you get to pick out 1-2 pieces, and they surprise you with the rest. (The surprise items are completely different from the pieces you pick from). For the $149 tote, you pick 2 items and get 3-4 more surprise items based on your style profile.
FYI – This is not a typical subscription, each month they release a new collection and you can decide whether or not you want to buy it.
Every month they design a new tote, too!

Coalition LA Classic Puffer Coat – Value $70
I was thrilled when I saw that Golden Tote was featuring some nice coats as chosen items this month! I had to order this gorgeous blue puffer, but I was definitely surprised by the detail and quality once I actually got it in my hands! This is definitely puffy, warm, versatile, and stylish. I love that the front zipper goes all the way up the hood – this is so handy when it’s windy!
The coat actually has a double-zip closure. There’s a black inside layer that can actually also zip out of the coat to make it more of a Fall jacket.
The inside of the liner is lined in faux-fur to add some extra warmth, which is great.
Baby photobomb! The waist and the sleeves both have a thick knit cuff around them, and the pockets zip shut, too. I also like the flattering details at the waist – it helps give some kind of shape to a puffy coat!
Tua Sequin Top – Value $40
I saw this surprise item in some other people’s totes in November (the GT Trading page has lots of reveals and reviews that are so fun to read) and requested it. My favorite part is that the sequins are small and not itchy at all, plus they go all the way around – not just the front! This is a great top, especially for Winter/holidays.
Le Lis Bird Sequin Sweatshirt – Value $40
This surprise item was a spoiler on Golden Tote’s Instagram page and I knew I had to have it. I also requested this top and I’m very happy with it. It’s a nice thick fabric and the bird design and sequins are so me! The sleeves run a little short so I’ll just have to wear them at ¾ length, which I prefer the look of anyway.
Bo Bel PocketTunic – Value $35
This tunic is so soft, and I dig the olive + gray stripes. I’m just not sure how I feel about the big, tan, suede pockets right in front.
Holiday Party Sweater in Grey – Value $45
This sweater was my other chosen item. I like the classic look of this top a lot, with a little glam along the neckline. This is another item that’s versatile and would work well with so many outfits. The material is stretchy and comfortable, too.
Bright Side Gloves – Value $18
Golden Tote also offers accessories to add on each month, and this month they offered these adorable gloves. I think they’re great, plus the tips of the index finger and thumb are touch screen friendly!
They fit great and are nice and warm. I love that the cuff can unfold. This always helps when coat sleeves are a little short or don’t have a cuff around the wrists.
Verdict: This was an awesome tote for me this December! I love my new coat, and I love everything (aside from being on the fence with the tunic) and have been so excited to wear each item. I got $230 of boutique clothing items for $149, plus I love my add-on gloves! I’m a happy girl.
