Here’s a closer look at the October Box…

October Theme – Autumn Air

Black Bell Sleeve Loose Fit Tunic Top – $25
Just in time for the cooler weather, this beautiful top is the perfect weight for this season – not too light and not too heavy. With your new top, take your fall ensemble from something simple to something special by adding accessories!

This top is the perfect addition to my closet! My favorite thing about this shirt is that it’s long in all of the RIGHT places. It covers in the front and in the back, which makes it perfect for pairing with leggings. It also comes down a little on the arms, which I appreciate. This top feels very high quality, and will be a staple piece in my closet!

Black Mohair Slouchy Beanie Cap – $20
A classic ribbed knit furthers the casual elegance of this versatile slouchy beanie hat, designed to perfectly frame your beautiful face.

I was a little hesitant with this piece because I shaved my head two months ago. I thought it might look weird on my head with little hair, but I was able to fold it to look just right. I was also concerned with the size because it looked like it might be too big, but I don’t mind the slouchy look. When I tried it on, it stayed right in place until I took it off.

Handbags & Heels Sterling Silver Plated Bracelet – $25
Wear your true Diva self on your wrist with this adorable high heel and handbag charm bracelet. Five dangling purses and 5 pumps alternately dance along this sterling sliver plated chain. Dress up any outfit with this fun and fashionable jewelry piece.

This bracelet is adorable! As a fellow fashion lover, I appreciate the charm in this bracelet (pun intended). This is the type of bracelet that’s easy to throw on and layer, or single out as a statement piece. Whenever I see charm bracelets, I get a little nervous thinking they’ll be too big because I have small wrists. This one fit perfectly!

Sterling Silver Plated Bar Drop Earrings – $20
Clean lines and a bright, polished finish define the versatile simplicity of modern bar drop earrings that are cast in sterling silver plating.

I love versatility in pretty much everything, so it’s no surprise I liked these earrings! These earrings, like the previous bracelet, are easy to dress up or down. Part of me wishes these two pieces of jewelry were gold instead, but I’ll still put them both to good use!

Cream & Black Tassel Crossbody Bag – $20
Bold tassels are front and center on this square-shaped crossbody bag made from vegan leather. This remarkable bag comes in a slimline design to hold the essentials without weighing you down. Features a pinstriped interior and adjustable shoulder strap.

I LOVE this bag! It’s my favorite piece from the entire box because it matches my style to the T. This bag is very lightweight and just big enough to bring the necessities without overdoing it. Crossbody bags are my favorite because they allow you to be handsfree and carefree!

Fuzzy White LD Boot Socks – $10
Treat your feet with these ultra plush boot socks. Unlike other fuzzy socks, our version is designed to be worn with shoes, sneakers and also boots. Luxuriously soft, each pair features our exclusive silver LD plaque.

These are seriously the softest socks I’ve ever owned. I’m the type of woman you’ll find wearing socks around the house, and I always welcome a new pair. My only concern is with the color. I worry they may become dingy after a long period of wear. I hope not, these are just too cute!

LD Accessories Box Review October 2019 – Final Thoughts

Overall, I am very impressed with my first LD Accessories Box. I had an idea of what to expect before the box arrived, but I was blown away. This is definitely a box I’m going to be looking forward to each month. This month’s subscribers received an extra accessory in their October boxes, a pink bracelet to support Breast Cancer Awareness! This extra touch was great! It makes me feel like such a girly girl being pampered with the cutest accessories. This box is sure to keep me stylish (and cozy) during the Fall season!

Here’s a closer look at the Octo-“BEAR” PostBox…

October Theme – Octo-“Bear”
Fall is in the air. The thought of crisp fall days has me thinking about rich autumnal colors, flannel (shirts of pajamas), and a cute woodland creature, the bear (I just couldn’t pass up the pun)! Fall makes me want to create beautiful crafted envelope art and I think we’ve delivered lots of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing…

Happy Birthday
Treat a loved one with a special card for their birthday! Who wouldn’t smile when they open this card with this whimsical bear catching salmon frosted cupcakes?

This card could not have come at a better time! My husband’s birthday is at the end of this month, and I hadn’t found the perfect card to wish him happy birthday. I’m ready to roll out all of my bear puns and let him know I love him bear-y much!

Thank You
Send a big thank you bear hug with this adorable card. We decided to take it up a notch and lined the envelope with buffalo plaid paper.

I’m really digging the cute plaid envelope. It puts me in the Fall mood for sure! I can’t get over how cute this card is! You know how they tell you to look out for bears while camping? It looks like a bear just ransacked an unsuspecting camper’s tent and stole their gear!

Sunflower Bear
This card is perfect for just about anything. We think this slightly oversized card is perfect for a newsy fall letter to someone special.

This looks like the perfect “get well soon” card to me! How sweet is this bear holding a bouquet of sunflowers!? Does it get more sincere than that? This design is precious.

Bear Shadow Puppet
Sometimes “just because” cards are the best! The combination of letterpress and watercolor are just magnificent.

Huge props to the designer of this card! This shadow puppet card is so creative. I love how the bear’s shadow looks like a sky full of stars. Cards like this have so much potential because you can say whatever you want with them. I’ll be sending this one back home soon!

Smokey Bear Postcard
Smokey and the Postal service on one card?! What could be better?

Can you think of a better bear to deliver an important message? I remember this bear popping up on my television screen often throughout my childhood. His message stuck with me. The details on this postcard are so beautiful!

Artsy Doodad
There are so many fun things to do in the fall, that this Beary important note pad is a perfect accessory. It comes with a magnet that you can attach to the back if you want to keep it handy on the fridge for jotting down a note!

I’m loving this month’s artsy doodad. Subscribers received this handy little notepad with an attachable magnet. You can never be too organized. It’s perfect!

Vintage Postage
An autumnal coloring of US vintage postage to mail 4 letters.

I noticed the Fall colored theme when I opened up these fun stamps, but I had no idea it was planned. The vintage stamps are the highlight of each box for me. It’s so fun to see which stamps are new for me!

Postmark’d Studio Review October 2019 – Final Thoughts

I wasn’t pre-beared for such an amazing October box, but Postmark’d Studio knocked it out of the park! This Fall inspired box was perfectly executed. Subscribers also received a Moonstruck Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Almond chocolate bar this month. It’s pretty ironic considering bears + snacks don’t make a great combo, but I’m thrilled about this extra surprise!
