- Life gets messy
and sometimes your closet can be stressful.
(upbeat music)
- I'm Elena Garcia
and I work on the market team here at Buzzfeed.
And what that means is that
I get to spend all day, everyday, online shopping.
It's not a bad gig.
But it also means
that I have access to information and products
that most people don't have the time or energy
to research and find on their own.
Today, I'm going to be helping my colleague, Vivian,
find products to get organized in her space.
And all those products are going to be linked down below,
in case any of them solve the problems
that you're dealing with.
Hi!
- Hi, Elena!
You're like the queen of all the shopping stuff.
I know how to shop for clothes.
I don't know what to do
when it comes to organizing said clothes.
- Okay, so what exactly are you needing help with?
- I totally need help with my closet.
It is a nightmare.
It's a mess.
I feel like I lose things in my closet.
Like my closet is like a monster.
I throw stuff in and I don't know where it went.
I want to create more storage space in there.
- What are some of the like specific items
within your space that you really don't know
where to put or how to store them.
- I have a bajillion shoes.
I literally have a shoe rack
and it's like a joke
because it has three tiers
and yet, it's still not enough.
- I hope that you love everything that I send you.
Good luck and let me know if you need any help.
- The packages have arrived.
The packages have arrived!
Really excited to see what's inside of here.
Now it's time for me to figure out
how to use all these products.
I think for me,
because 2020 was such a crazy year
and a lot has happened in 2021.
My closet is representing my mind.
It's kind of a mess.
I'm looking at this as therapy for my closet.
The first product is the only one I've used before.
And it's a basic hanger.
Look how thin they are.
I feel like I'll be able to fit more clothing in
and like really pack it in
because these are so thin.
But they definitely feel like higher quality
than just like a regular wire hanger
or even the plastic ones.
This one, I'm really hype about.
And it is a hanging hat clip.
This kind of looks like some, like a choker.
It could be a choker.
I have a ton of hats.
So this is going to be so helpful.
This is dope.
Voilà, we have some dividers
which I think is going to help so much.
At the top of my closet, I have a shelf.
I am going to put these shelf dividers
so that I can keep my folded up pants,
my folded up skirts,
like everything that I fold up.
I'm going to keep it there
and have these two separate them.
This is a five tier skirt hanger.
So I can actually just clip my skirts.
One, two, three, four, five.
If I can see them hanging like this next to my blouses,
this is going to save me a ton of space,
especially at the top of my closet.
I feel like everyone who has an apartment
needs a hanger like this.
It's a space saving hanger,
and you can either put the hangers through these holes
and hang it like this.
Or you can make it like, hang down.
I don't know what I'll do yet.
We'll see when we get into the closet.
These are hanging shoe shelves.
I think this is going to be really helpful.
This can't hold my heels
but I have a bunch of sneakers and a bunch of flats.
So this will help with that.
Ooh, this is tall.
This is way more narrow than I thought
which is actually really good
because my whole thing is making more space, saving space.
This is the closet underwear organizer drawer divider.
So this is one of the little dividers.
I kind of like the zipper action.
This one...
Ooh, Ooh, this one's bigger.
They have a bigger version
and a smaller version of the compartments.
The last item in here is
the easy unpacking hanging organizer for bags
So this I'm hype about.
It looks kind of like the shoe organizer
but it has way more height
and way more width so that I can fit my bags.
I like this a lot
because I have a lot of bags
and I keep some of them at the top of my closet.
They don't all fit.
And sometimes I can't see all of them,
especially if they're like layered in front.
So this is going to be a way
for me to see, basically, all of my bags
at one time and save space.
Good all around.
So the first thing
I'm going to tackle is this space up here,
my pants, my skirts.
Why, I-- (record scratches)
I think I'll put the shelf dividers first
and then I'll go through
and start putting each of the skirts
on the five tier skirt hanger.
I have one set of dividers.
So I'm going to use this, I guess.
(metal clangs)
So I'm going to do it like this
and I guess I'll put it here.
There, these are really strong.
This is awesome.
What do I wear the least?
Definitely don't wear jeans much.
So we will do my denim pile first.
My closet is starting to look like a store,
which is the ultimate goal.
If you shop as much as I do.
(energetic music)
For this first skirt rack,
I think I'm going to put all of my pink skirts
which yes, I do have enough pink skirts to fill this up.
Clip right here.
I like how you can move them.
They're adjustable.
This looks great.
It's so organized.
I love this this hanger!
This might be my favorite item so far
and it takes no space.
Like seriously, one, two, three, four, five items.
I'm just going to put that here.
(energetic music)
This is normally where I keep my swimsuits
and it's basically popping out of here.
It's too much.
So I took this drawer out
and I have it here.
And I'm going to put the bottoms and tops,
pairing them together in all of these.
(energetic music)
Yo, this looks great.
It's uniform.
I just like that it's not overstuffed, you know.
Everything here has a place
and I just feel a little bit more calm.
So I have the hat clips on this hanger.
It just kind of velcroed into place,
which is really nice.
So I'm going to figure out
how to put all of my hats
on this hat clip hanger.
I think this came out really well.
It looks so much more organized.
I have this hanger thing.
So I'm actually going to do it like this
because it's just a bit more thin.
And this is basically,
all of my black crop top, bralette type tops.
This is a, (laughs) it's a bralette top.
I have worn it, yeah.
Y'all don't know my life.
Moving on.
This is for the purses.
I'm going to start with the most expensive ones first.
Try to put that up here.
Okay, okay, it fits just fine.
I have space for two more down here.
Ooh, this is a arm workout.
We'll take this one and put it down here.
Two days later, I'm finally done with my closet.
This item is my favorite.
This is the skirt hanger.
I think I got the most bang for my buck
with this one because it holds so much.
The drawer organizer is definitely one of my favorites too.
This is just so much easier to understand.
You know, sometimes life gets a little messy
but there's a ton of products and resources available to you
to help get your life together and your closet.
