Fall Fashion Forward with Golden Tote

Filed Under: affiliates, BLOG, Fashion, Sponsored Posts Tagged With: Affiliates, Fall, Fall Fashion, Fashion, Golden Tote, Sponsored

August is here and Fall will be here before we know it.  I can honestly say I head into this time of the year kicking and screaming at best.

Most here know I love summer and the warmer months, but still like it or not it is on its way.

As much as I am the lady that doth protests too much as the seasons do change, I do very much like to shop and love to get new clothes for each new season and fall fashion season is no exception to the rule.

I can’t always get to go to stores to actually shop and do a lot of online shopping with being a mom and WAHM for that matter for fall fashion or any season to be honest..

So, I am always on the lookout for great places to shop for clothes and such online for fall fashion and other seasons, too.

Recently, I was contacted by Golden Tote to try their “surprising way to shop”.

What is Golden Tote?

First off, it is one of the most fun and unique ways I have found to shop online in a long time.

It is essentially like Christmas every month of the year, where you get to enjoy the best grab bag filled with all sorts of surprises in women’s fashion clothing and accessories for fall fashion and more.

Golden Tote works with designers to bring to you the highest quality clothing, stylists to curate the best variety and personal shoppers to work directly with brands to give you the best priced merchandise.

Essentially it is the next best thing to being able to afford your very own personal shopper at high end stores right online on your own computer.

On the first Monday of each month, the sale opens up to all.  I want to make something clear, this isn’t a subscription and you can shop the sale whenever you want and or not made to order monthly, but whenever you want or need to.

August Sale Items to Choose 2

You can either spend $49 to get up to $250 worth in clothing (2-3 items) 

-or-

You can spend $149 to get up to $600 worth in clothing (5-7 items).

Once you get your tote, you can also decide to keep the whole tote or returning the whole thing for a refund. But you can only return in full (it is all or nothing basically), so they suggest either to regift an item if you don’t like it or they even have a Facebook group, where people buy, sell or trade Golden Tote clothing/accessory items.

For August, I got to try out the $149 Golden Tote and picked two of the sale items myself and the remaining were picked for me by Golden Tote.

August Sale Items to Choose 2

What did I order for my two Golden Tote August items Allowed to Be Selected for the $149 Tote?

1. The Boyfriend Distressed Jeans (worth $60) by Just Black in Size 25 Waist

2.  The Lightweight Eyelet Sweater (worth $ 54) by Comme Toi in Size Small

I must admit, I have a bit of a Golden Tote crush and am so happy I was able to review, because I think the fashionista in me for all my fall fashion needs found a bit of a new obsession and place to shop.

By the way, here are some pics below of the actual tote bag , my loot (I received 6 items in total with my 2 elected and 4 surprises, too) and even me wearing (modeling) the Collective Concepts Tank in geometric pattern in navy, pink and white, which I wore immediately after receiving the tote, because it was truly an adorable add to my still summertime wardrobe (loved this surprise item)!

    You are adorable and I love what they picked out for you. I am just really picky, so I am not sure I’d be comfortable with someone picking out my clothes for me.

    Oh my gosh what a great service! I love those jeans. I also love that you don’t have to subscribe to get all the good stuff! Great review! Definitely going to check this out.

    I’m so tempted to try this! I love that eyelet sweater, and your new tank top is so cute!

    What a cool idea! I love this! I have to go check them out in more detail – I’m in Canada and I’m wondering if they offer this service here.

    I’m kind of “unusual” in that I don’t like clothes shopping… so this would be perfect for me!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Wishing you a lovely day.
    xoxo

    Janine,

    I cannot wait to take some time and check this service out. It is very interesting. I do not think I have ever seen or heard anything like it. Checking it out soon.
    Blessings,

    So many cute things! I love your shirt (and your manicure!).

    I like this idea and may try it out!

    My fall fashion changeover consists of adding fleece to my tshirt and jeans. LOL Keep doing what you are doing, Janine, because you do it so well. Happy Wednesday my friend.

    I am such a baby when it comes to shopping. The last thing I want to do is fight the crowds and go into a shopping mall. Online shopping has saved me. Thanks for sharing a new idea. Worth taking a look at.
    Blessings,
    Shari

      I would!!!

    Sounds like a fun way to shop!!
    What happens if you don’t like some of the surprise items?
    Love that tank!!!

    Love the print top! Also love the eyelet sweater. I’ve never been one to subscribe to a service. I’m weird like that, ha!

  13. Rea says

    Janine! You are very blessed to have this tote full of wonderful items. I love the colorful top you modeled and surely, you deserved all the goodness in that bag. It’s so nice that online shops are now evolving and are constantly trying to make their services convenient for consumers. I love the idea of having a personal shopper online! 🙂

  14. Echo says

    August 20, 2014 at 5:32 pm

    That looks really cool! It is hard to find stuff like that when you are plus size. That eyelet sweater is adorable though!

  15. Tamara says

    August 20, 2014 at 5:33 pm

    What a cool service! I do admit that even though I hate the end of summer, I love fall clothes. I always still think I’m in school and my parents are going to spend $1,000 on me for school clothes. (slight exaggeration there, by the way)
    Maybe they should!
    Looking hot in the clothes! I love the eyelet sweater, although I’d probably wear mine with pants, unlike that model.

    Janine, I didn’t realize you did love fall so much. I think when I lived on the east coast, fall and winter was too cold for me. I love it now that I’m in Arizona. We have been going down to the 90s from being in the 100s in the summer and I’m loving how it’s cooling down. 90s in Arizona feels nothing like what it does on the east coast though. 🙂 This looks like a really fun way to shop. Thanks for sharing!

  17. Bev says

    What a cool concept! I’d be interested to see what kinds of things the pick out for me 🙂

  18. Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life says

    August 21, 2014 at 10:06 am

    That looks really cool, Janine! I like to dress well, but I don’t particularly like to shop. I do most of my shopping for me online or a little boutique downtown where the owner knows my style. This is intriguing to me!

    I was not familiar with them…thanks for informing us and for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!

    Love the top and the jeans. I’ll head out to the outlet soon to get some more jeans. Enjoy your items!!

  21. QueenMomJen says

    August 22, 2014 at 1:37 am

    Oh my goodness you are the cutest model! I love the items you picked out. I have never heard of the golden Tote and totally want to try it!

  22. Chris Carter says

    August 26, 2014 at 11:27 am

    Such a cool idea!! I LOVE those jeans and that shirt!! Such an interesting concept in shopping on line too. You are such a beauty!! You could wear anything and look gorgeous though…

  23. Kristina & Millie says

    August 28, 2014 at 8:18 pm

    Nice top 🙂 Looks like a great place to ‘shop’!

  24. Rabia @TheLiebers says

    September 5, 2014 at 1:30 pm

    That sounds fun!! I actually don’t like shopping that much and sometimes wish people would just pick things out for me. I should give this a try!
