- What's up, guys, it's your girl, Jen
and today I have an episode of favorites,
I can't believe it's already time to do one of these,
but we are well into summer
and I thought I would showcase some items,
that have made this month even better.
Also, if you love favorites videos like this,
make sure you subscribe to my channel,
the button is down below, so make sure you hit that,
become a Jem today, so with that said, let's get started.
So I've gotta talk about some accessories,
that I've been loving.
Here I have these dangly guys from the brand, Inc,
I grabbed these at Macy's and if you follow me on Instagram,
these earrings are no stranger to you,
I've been popping them on like nobody's business,
I actually love these so much, that I got three pairs,
it's not very often that I do this,
I've been really liking to mix and match them as well,
they add like a nice movement around the face
and just the perfect pop of color to any outfit.
As you guys know, I moved and with this process,
I had to figure out what I would do for my jewelry storage.
My last place, it wasn't really that good of a system,
I had these clear boxes,
but the jewelry was getting all tangled up,
it was rusting and it wasn't a good look,
so finally I found my solution for my jewelry storage,
it is this jewelry armoire,
it is amazing, I am so happy with it,
it looks like a mirror from the outside,
but when you open it, boom, got storage for everything,
my earrings, my bracelets, my rings, my necklaces,
it's just perfect and I am so happy,
that I finally have a system again,
because it's so easy to like mix and match my earrings now,
like all my chokers are in one place,
it just feels good to have like a nice system.
I got this at Hayneedle
and if I'm gonna be completely honest,
it was, it was kind of like a struggle to get this,
so the first time it arrived, it came broken,
the hinges fell off and it was just annoying,
like calling the customer service,
being like, hey, it came broken,
but they took it away and they shipped me a new one
and while it was shipping, I was reading everyone's reviews
and a lot of people had the same issue,
the first time, it comes broken,
some people's mirrors were shattered,
some people had the same issues that I did
with the hinges coming off,
there was one user there that had ordered this three times,
before it came like in one piece,
but luckily for me, the second time it arrived,
it was in perfect condition, thank God,
so if you're interested in getting this armoire,
just prepare to have it come broken at least one time,
because this isn't made from like the best material,
it's gonna have some wear and tear from the move,
so I'm just letting you guys know that as like a heads up.
Before we make a favorite,
I have Stila's Liquid Eyeshadow in Molten Midnight,
these were everywhere on YouTube
like a couple of months ago,
everyone was just freaking out about them,
obviously I am late to the bandwagon,
I saw my girl, Sophia use this in one of her tutorials
and that was the day that I was just convinced,
I put it in my cart and I have no regrets,
I've been rocking this eyeshadow look
like a fair amount of times in June,
but this is like the perfect thing, if you love glitter
and I love me some glitter.
This is great, because you can really pinpoint
exactly where you want the sparkle
and it doesn't have fallout, which is a godsend,
because usually when I'm working with glitter,
it just kind of gets all over the place,
so when it's concentrated and it's controlled,
it's always a good look.
This is a black eyeshadow with gold and silver flecks
and I'm rocking it on my eyes right now,
I am definitely gonna film a tutorial on this look,
so stay tuned, because this is perfect
for like summer nights out, date night
or just anytime you just wanna add a little glam.
Moving on to more accessories,
I have to feature these sunglasses by Perverse,
(sighs) these are called the Eva
and I am just obsessed with them.
I recently styled this in my summer look book,
if you haven't watched that video,
I'll leave it in the cart right there,
but these sunglasses give me life,
like when I put them on, I just feel happier,
because the world just looks more vibrant
and just better in general,
this is definitely like a mood enhancer
and I think you look pretty cool, while wearing them.
These are oversized, so I think they would really suit
anyone's face and just like a really fun, summer staple.
I'm thinking about filming a styling,
tinted sunglasses video, because at this point,
I've collected around maybe four or five,
so I think I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna do it.
Let me know if you're interested in the Comments down below.
If you open my closet,
you'll notice that I only have one type of hanger,
it's these velvet, space-saving ones,
these are incredible.
If you just have like the plastic or the wood ones,
I highly suggest you convert and invest into these,
because you can hang so much more clothing
with these hangers,
but these hangers are actually not my favorite,
I wanna talk about these clips.
These are by Huggable Hangers, I got these at Target
and these are clips that you just attach to the velvet ones
and boom, you can instantly hang
all your like strapless tops,
you can hang your skirts and your shorts
and for the longest time, I didn't really have
like a good system for storing my skirts
and skirts are like a big part of summer, you know
and before I was just folding them up
and putting them in a dresser
and just like literally forgetting about them,
phew, now I have these hangers,
they're all hung up in my closet, I can see everything
and now styling is just so liberating,
because I don't have to dig into my, like my dressers
to find like that one skirt from months ago,
so it's just nice to have everything in one place,
I absolutely love it.
My next favorite is such a Mom favorite,
but I gotta mention it anyway,
it's my new Dyson vacuum cleaner,
my parents got it for me and Ben as a housewarming gift
and at first I was like,
oh, we already have a vacuum cleaner, but Ben was like,
"No babe, this is the best vacuum cleaner,"
and I tried it out and literally life-changing,
I mean, I already love cleaning,
but this has made the process even better,
like it sucks up everything,
it has all these different heads,
so you can have like the normal, traditional vacuum cleaner,
you've got like the nozzles,
you can get in the nooks and crannies,
it's just such an effective tool,
it just sucks up everything
and also it doesn't have a cord,
so you can take it anywhere, you can vacuum your car,
you can vacuum the steps, it's just (sighs),
I just, the love for this vacuum cleaner is just awesome,
like when I first got this vacuum cleaner,
I literally spent the rest of the night vacuuming the stairs
and just, I went a little nuts,
so I knew that I had to plug it in my favorites.
If I'm gonna be real, this is pretty expensive,
I looked it up and I was like, damn.
Think of it as an investment, because this,
with this, you're gonna have a really clean home
and you're never gonna need like a broom or a dustpan
and it just makes cleaning a lot easier
and when you have a clean environment,
you've got a clear mind, so just things to think about.
My last favorite is a summer playlist,
that I created with Spotify,
I will leave the link down below,
I just really created like a mishmash
of all my favorite songs, that I've been listening to,
so check it out.
There's just a lot of different types of genres in there too
and I'm just gonna be adding more songs,
as the summer goes on, so feel free to follow it
and if you have any summer songs,
that you have been just playing on repeat,
leave it in the Comments down below,
I love listening to you guys' recommendations,
it's like, it's one of my favorite pastimes.
Alright everyone, those were my June Favorites.
I literally can't believe we're in July now,
this year is just zooming by so quickly,
I am just living for the summer though,
this is my favorite season, it's hot now in LA,
it's like a nice, dry heat
and it's just always been my favorite season.
