Bling it Up with Just Jen: Review and Giveaway

Even as the years pass and I grow older, I am still a girly girl at heart!  Who doesn’t love a little sparkle, right?  Whether you want to spice up your bridesmaid t-shirts or add bling to your bachelorette shirts, you have got to check out the selection at Just Jen!

Recently, I was given the opportunity to add some sparkle to my life by reviewing any premade or custom shirt by Just Jen.  As I looked around the website, I was overwhelmed with options!  After looking through the choices of fonts and the rainbow of Swarovski crystals, I knew I wanted to custom make my very own shirt.

As some of you know, I also run a network of mom blogs and consulting business, Double Duty Divas.  Because my business partner and I will be attending several blog events together in the coming year, I knew that a custom “Double Duty Divas” shirt would be the perfect way to promote our business.

Look at all the Options!

Customizing and designing my shirt was incredibly easy.  First, you select the item you would like to personalize including shirts, hats, aprons and even lingerie!  After selecting “shirts”, I was then given a ton of options including short sleeve, long sleeve, raglan, or maternity to name a few.  I chose to customize a fitted long sleeve tee in black.  The Double Duty Diva logo is mostly black, light pink and white, so I got busy choosing the font and crystal color that would best represent my business.  With thirteen different type styles, you are sure to find one that matches your taste!

By simply filling out the form at Just Jen with crystal color and text style, I easily created a shirt I hoped would be adorable.  My shirt arrived very quickly (most custom shirts ship in 1-3 business days) and came in a cute pink drawstring bag which would be perfect for gift giving.

I ordered an adult medium because the shirt is fitted and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t too tight. When it arrived, I was floored!  The design was so neat, professional and just plain cute!  The shirt was a good quality and the design is artfully and precisely placed on the shirt.  I absolutely love it!

Just Jen featured on ABC’s The Bachelor!

Last month, I was fortunate enough to review some adorable Big Sis/Little Sis custom rhinestone shirts from Just Jen.  We still love our shirts (not one crystal has fallen off!) and am happy to promote this company once again.

justjenhoodieOn March 8th, Just Jen Bridal Hoodies and coordinating sweatpants were seen on ABC’s The Bachelor: Jason and Molly’s Wedding! The beautiful bride-to-be Molly, her maid of honor, and her four bride’s maids were all wearing Just Jen during the morning of the big day. Molly truly stood out dressed in her all white hoodie and matching pants . . . the perfect outfit for a morning at the spa. The bridal party was wearing matching Just Jen hoodies in black. It was the ideal combination of class and comfort for a busy morning of getting ready for the big event.  As a gift to Molly, Just Jen also sent her a green Mrs. bridal hoodie, which reads “Mrs. Mesnick”, and matching sweatpants to enjoy after the wedding.

Congrats to Just Jen for the National media coverage of their fabulous products!!

I created this post as a mandatory entry requirement to win a Just Jen Hoodie and a $100 gc to Amazon or Walmart. 

Just Jen Customized Big Sister Shirts: Review

hypothesis The personalized Big Sister/Little Sister shirts from Just Jen will be a cute way to celebrate the sisterhood of my two daughters.

materials

One Big Sister shirt and one Little Sister shirt personalized with my daughters names in rose colored crystal, and two VERY excited little girls anxious to show off their new clothes.  About Just Jen:

justjenlogo“In the past five years, Just Jen has grown from an idea to a successful start-up company that is the #1 online store for rhinestone clothing and custom rhinestone transfers. Just Jen.com currently carries more than 200 designs, available in hundreds of shirt and rhinestone color combinations. The site allows customers to place custom orders online and is fully e:commerce enabled to offer secure credit card processing.

Just Jen shirts are manufactured in the U.S.A, using genuine Swarovski rhinestone crystals and 100% cotton t-shirts made by American Apparel. Swarovski rhinestone crystals are the highest-quality rhinestones available; they are the only stones cut with 14 facets, and you can really see the difference in the sparkle that they deliver. The American Apparel shirts are also a superior quality t-shirt and come in body-hugging cuts that accentuate and flatter the female shape.”

Now that Aubrie is almost two years old, she is truly becoming a playmate for Lily.  I think they are just starting to understand what it means to be sisters and I just love watching them bond on a daily basis.  Lily, who just turned five years old, is ALL ABOUT sparkle.  If it shines or glitters, it’s on her wish list.  So, a shirt that lets her show off her big sister status AND sparkles??  FABULOUS!

IMG_0624

I chose a brown short sleeve shirt with rose colored crystals.  I ordered a size larger for both girls and I am glad I did.  When the shirts arrived (very quickly, I might add), they were just gorgeous!  The shirt is soft, good quality and fits perfectly.  The girls went NUTS for them and insisted that they wear them to dinner that very night.  After washing them three times now, the stones are still in place and not one of them have fallen off.

hypothesis

I was very impressed with our Big Sister/Little Sister shirts from Just Jen.  The flexibility the company provides allows the customer to design their shirt to be exactly what they had in mind.  The shipping was extremely fast and the overall product was of good quality.  I think these shirts would make a very cute gift for a newborn with a big sister!  Just Jen also carries a huge selection of products including bridal shirts, maternity shirts, and holiday shirts.  I would definitely purchase from Just Jen in the future!

Just Jen provided me with two shirts for review, but all opinions are 100% mine.  I was not compensated other than the two shirts.
