- Hey, everyone, it's your girl Jenn,
and today I have a fashion haul for you!
I just got back from Tokyo a couple days ago,
and dude, the shopping was incredible.
Ashley and I went to Harajuku and Shinjuku,
and we shopped for, like, six hours that day,
and needless to say, that was one of
the longest shopping trips I've done in a while,
and so I wanted to show you the loot.
If you are a fan of hauls like this,
make sure to subscribe to my channel,
hit that button, become a gem today,
and with that said, let's jump right into it.
So I'm gonna start with tops first.
Here is my first one.
This is a gorgeous off-the-shoulder top
in a nice slate color.
It's got this great ruffle detail
all along it, and so it gives it
just like a fun, fresh, flirty vibe.
Since it's so cropped, it looks great
with high-waisted things,
and I recently posted this on my Instagram,
but I couldn't tag the brand,
but I got this at La Foret in Tokyo.
My next item is also from La Foret.
It's this black crop top with this fun
athletic stripe right down the center.
It's got a cool metal ring detail,
and it's on a zipper that functions,
so you can bring it up or down wherever you please.
And it's just funny that I even have to call out
that the zipper works because
there have been a number of shirts that I have purchased
where the zipper is purely for aesthetic and not function.
Next up, I've got this graphic crop top from Stylenanda,
which is probably my favorite store ever.
But this is a white spaghetti strap top,
and it's go the graphic "EE agency
"Makes a Great Trips!"
I don't know why, but I just love
when things have improper grammar and spelling,
especially on clothing.
It's just, I don't know, it's just a nice little touch.
My last top is this huge, oversized checkered top
that I'm definitely gonna be wearing as a dress
because it's long enough to do that.
I feel like checkers have been the "it" print of the season.
I know Givenchy just had checkers in their collection
not too long ago, and I feel like that's what
made it all surge back, but either way,
this is a really fun way to showcase black and white,
and it's a really fun nod to the Ska era.
So now I'm gonna move on to bottoms.
I only got one pair of shorts, unfortunately,
and they're these ones.
They're high-waisted, they're black,
they've got red stripes on the side.
They also have this fun metal detail on the side where
I guess you can hook things,
but I don't see myself hooking any time soon.
But yeah, they're in a nice, breathable cotton fabric,
and personally, I just love the way
red and black have been looking together.
Before I would think, oh, that's a little Goth,
but I just have been really enjoying
this combination lately.
I also bought a pair of trousers.
They're these black high-waisted ones,
and the fit is just perfect.
I really love shopping in Asia because for once
I'm considered normal size and not petite,
so these just fit better.
But these are so cool.
They're like a nice menswear work pant,
but they've got an edge because they have this
amazing metal link all across the sides.
I just think it's like a really cool combination
or blend between business professionalism and punk.
Now I'm gonna move on to some accessories that I got,
starting with this checkered belt.
And yes, I got this checkered belt
and that checkered top at the same time.
I got a little carried away, but I don't know,
I'm just living for this trend right now.
I think accessories are a really easy way to,
you know, test out a trend if you like it or not
because it's very low-risk and just
easier to incorporate.
So this is the other belt that I got.
It's this yellow one with grommets all around it.
I love the fact that I can wear this
with high-waisted things, mid-rise, low-rise, dresses even.
Because of the studs, it gives me the flexibility to
wear it in whatever size that I want and what's needed.
I just grabbed a bunch of statement belts because
they can really just be the cherry on top of an outfit.
I couldn't leave Tokyo without buying a hat.
Here is this cobalt blue beret,
and it's just a divine color.
I absolutely love it.
It's like a nice, good primary blue color,
and I guess I'm just on the hunt
of getting berets in every color,
and I guess blue is checked off the list.
I feel like these days I've been
wearing a lot more neutral colors,
so I feel like this is a really fun way
to add a pop of color.
For example, I'd wear this with my outfit now.
I think it looks great!
Moving on to jewelry, I got these two pieces
at the same place.
The first one is this barbed wire choker.
I really like the fact that, with the clasp,
you can do it as tight or as loose as you'd like.
I just, I don't know, I've always
been attracted to barbed wire.
I think there's something very edgy about it,
and I just love me a good piece of costume jewelry.
So here I have another necklace which is also inspired by
the punk rock era.
I just think little elements like this
can really toughen up a look.
Like, I feel like the 13-year-old me
would've loved these items, and it's just funny how
fashion tends to recycle itself.
Oh my, these are also functioning handcuffs,
so I could even handcuff Chipo if I wanted to.
But I wouldn't, but I could.
My next item is hands-down
my favorite thing that I purchased in Tokyo.
They're these oval Ray Bans
with this cool rose gold mirrored effect.
I had to do a double-take to make sure that these
were actually by Ray Ban,
because I've just never seen this style before,
especially created by them.
And I just, I freaking love it.
It totally has late 90s millennium vibes.
I feel like Alia would've worn these.
These are my first sunglasses in this shape,
so that really excites me.
I feel like these days for sunglasses,
I'm trying to just find something
that I've never seen before,
or at least that I don't already have,
and these just take the cake for me.
Lastly, I got a few beauty bits.
These are both from 3CE which is Stylenanda's cosmetic line.
They had a physical store there,
so I was able to try everything out and swatch everything.
So that was amazing.
I picked up this yellow eyeshadow.
It's in the shade Yolk, and I have just been dying
to experiment with yellow eyeshadow,
and this was just my chance to finally do it.
I'm wearing it on my eyes right now,
and surprisingly this is a really easy color
to incorporate on my face,
and so I'm definitely gonna be doing
a makeup tutorial on this.
I promise, I seriously swear.
I know I missed last month's face of the month,
but I'll have one this month, I swear.
Then I grabbed this liquid lip color.
This is in the shade Tamed,
and it's in this nice, nudey salmon shade,
and I think it's a good nude on me.
I am also wearing this right now.
If I'm gonna be real, the formula's not amazing.
It's very dry, and it leaves a weird white film
after you wear it for a while,
but I don't give a damn!
The packaging is so cute, and I feel like
the shade looks really good for two or three hours,
and then it just goes downhill from there.
It just requires a little bit more maintenance,
but if you're willing to put in the work,
then I would say get it.
All right, guys, those are all the items
that I got in Japan.
It was definitely a really short trip.
I was only there for three days and it was for work,
but I tried to vlog as much as I can,
so all that footage will be in the June monthly vlog.
I definitely wanna make it a goal to
go to Japan for at least a week next time,
and then spend a week in Korea.
That's like the dream, and I'm definitely
gonna try and make that happen.

I would love to read about your day
or just what's going on with you.
Also, this is a new background because
Ben and I moved a week ago,
or a week and a half ago.
But yeah, the move went super well.
We're pretty much all unpacked,
but my office needs a lot of work,
and also the closets, because we just need to have more,
it just needs to be more secure,
because right now all the rails are sinking
because they can't hold that much weight.
So yeah, I'm just waiting on, like,
three wardrobes from Ikea.
That's gonna be very fun to build.
But other than that, once that all comes in,
I'll have my life in order,
everything will be organized and then
we will shoot a home tour for you.
So those are all the updates that I have for now.
I am wishing you a beautiful day,
and thank you for watching.
Bye!
