Love it. People saying it doesn’t seem on trend. Black/white cape. Classic, neutral and literally always on trend. I like the idea of black and white with a pop of color somewhere for Fall. I can also see that price tag being legit. You’re pretty much paying for that designer label, the quality of fabric and the durability. Idk I’m a fashion design student and going to a store to buy quality wool blend fabric alone and then buying all the materials and for the time of making it, I’d probably price it around what they have it at.
P.S. Love your posts! 🙂

I must have missed this earlier! I kept looking at my emails for the spoiler and never saw it. I just got charged for by BOS so I finally searched for it. Was hoping for more spoilers by now, but this one is great IMO!
I love the colors, so classic and with go with everything. Especially since most of my clothes are black/gray/navy or solid colors. I can’t wait to get it!! I have several slouchy cardigans that I love for fall/winter but no capes yet. I’ve tried a couple but they were huge on me, hoping this one is more flattering.
And I also agree about the BOS “exclusives”, hoping this isn’t the case with this either. To me they seem to be cheaper knock offs of the real thing, probably due to such mass production, I don’t know. I haven’t even worn the jewelry from the last box, just isn’t my style. And while I super excited about caftan cover up it just didn’t wow me in person.

I think that’s pretty crapy especially after reading an article on the founder of Prospurly on how he built a subscription box business that’s grossed over $50,000 in 6 months, while working only 10 hours a week on it. I don’t know how many subscribers he has; however, I’m quite sure BOS has many more. I don’t have anything against the cape; I just wish it were more fall like. This is nothing what I imagined after seeing the poll results. Hopefully the color choice will be on the cape and not on cosmetics.

After coming back to look at this almost daily for two weeks, I finally caved and re-subbed. I like the simplicity of the black/white, and where I live (AZ) something like this is pretty much the only outerwear you need most of the winter. I like that it seems pretty lightweight and drapey, which means multiple styling options. Now I’m ready for another spoiler!

There’s a new hint in my mailbox today.
It’s about to get personal
For the first time, you will be able to choose your preferred shade of a to-be-revealed color cosmetic.
We aren’t ready to ruin the surprise just yet, but keep an eye on your inbox for spoiler #2 so you can guarantee your color selection. The countdown to fall is on.

I resubscribe to BOS yesterday. I was asked to choose a shade of lip gloss. I had the choice of three different shades. So I’m assuming that’s what it is. It did not state what brand it was.

Thanks for the tip.. I just went to the Zoe Box of Style subscription section and logged into my account. You make your selection and in order to guarantee your choice, it needs to be made by August 26th. The gloss is from IT a fabulous Japanese brand. I have a lot of their products and they are incredible.
Lisa White
WHOA! I am a subscriber and I never received a notice about choosing a lip gloss…just the note about watching my inbox for the “about to get personal choice.”
Meg
The item is ‘It Cosmetics Vitality Hydrating Lip Gloss Stain’. I don’t know this brand at all but the gloss does not look very exciting.

This cape will be perfect with my Spring wardrobe. It must be an L.A. thing as most people living east of California view fall colors as green, golds, rusts, reds, browns, burgundy, wine….. I love the came. I am petite, but I think there are numerous ways to wear it. I have so much black and white…Olivia Palermo’s black and white awning stripe pants from her spring/summer collection…perfect. I think I will try to style it with the seam at the shoulder and then get a black and white twist around the front. Also, invisible bands to create a rose…. So many ways to style this…but plan to wear it with my Spring/Summer capsule all over Europe next April and May.

Liz,
Seeing you style this is so helpful. Love the bag & boots, but you’re missing my favorite accessory – Buckley!

I absolutely love this and signed right back up since I cancelled for the summer box. I’m 22 weeks pregnant and this cape couldn’t be more perfect for my growing belly and in the winter for breast feeding. I think the style is really cool and timeless. It will go with everything! Her fall box is always by favorite!

If it is her teams pick I trust it will be “everything!” I know everyone has to give it a thumbs up and it must look good on the majority or it isn’t in the box. Looks fab on you!

I agree on the quality of the jewelry in the last box – it was definitely lacking. And totally concur about the exclusives…”sub box exclusive” has really come to mean cheaper “outlet” version of the actual designer item.

I miss items like the Miansai jewelry and the Cluse watch – originals. I don’t want custom made cheaper versions of things, I want the originals. I haven’t been wowed by either the bag or the jewelry in this years boxes thus far, I’m feel like I’m falling out of love…

FYI ladies – my necklace from the June box broke the second time I put it on and the button was starting to fall off my turban. I let BOS know and sent them pics. They are going to replace the items, but I have to send the necklace back before they do and I have to pay for shipping.
I’m starting to get wary of items made exclusively for a box, they just don’t seem to hold up well. I hope this cape proves me wrong.

Ugh, that’s so upsetting. I’m glad they’re standing behind it. When my earrings broke after like two wearings, they gave me $10 back. I totally agree with you. I don’t want “exclusives”! They’re designed by a designer but never the same quality.

If you have any doubts about this piece go to the the zone report and there us a video of the editors styling it and it looks amazing.

Liz, love that picture of you with the cape! I wasn’t sure about it till I saw it on you! I’m glad that they decided to send it to you since I’m sure I’m not the only one loving it more after your picture! I did like the idea of another color combination (grey and tan) but black and white are also in style. Thanks for the picture!❤️

Ha! Nice, I bought a black and white zig zag striped cape back in summer of 2015 in Scotland, I was that cold I needed another layer. Who knew I’d still be stylin’ a year on! ?

Will there be other colors from their fall line especially the gray and tan?

I hope so but I think this may be it. ?

That’s too bad. I like black and white, but I was really expecting to see some fall colors – something similar to her chic camel-colored collar cape or Burberry’s wool & cashmere. Of course nothing as expensive as those but at least something that would shout out fall. I’m not even getting a whisper of fall from the black and white! LOL

My friend that knows I sub to BOS, just texted me laughing about this cape and how it is so not my style. This is the first hero item that’s not for me. Hoping for a good winter spoiler to bring me back in.
I swear, every spoiler I love, everyone else on this forum hates and vice versa.

Love this. Rachel Zoe has done it again. Most of my wardrobe is black and white so this will work with everything I own!!

I’m torn about the cape. I’ve never owned a cape. I’ll try it on with black skinny jeans or leggings with black boots. Hope the other stuff is awesome.

I love that but at 5ft tall I’m afraid I’d look ridiculous in it

Love this so much!! I would’ve loved to use it on my cruise in a few weeks … but unfortunately I don’t think it’ll arrive in time.
I also love that it’s made in the USA.
It looks awesome on you, Liz!

Well…. As I have a shawl almost identical to that that I got at Target a few years ago I will have to say that is completely unexciting for me. And the price tag they are putting on such a basic piece is beyond me. Fall is a time of such opportunity and this is just disappointing to me. But Liz you look great in it. I am glad they sent it to you for free as I paid $19.99, lol.

I am going to dye mine with gray dye. I will get more use out of it. Is it soft?

I really appreciate this site and the comments! I wouldn’t have known about this if it wasn’t for Liz’s post, I wouldn’t have thought about the Dalmatian potential if I hadn’t read the comments and am glad to have done so in advance of possibly owning it, but I definitely love it anyway! This would be a first Box of Style for me, so I can use the MSA coupon! Better and better!
