The Garden of Eden

If you’re a fan of beauty bloggers, or keep yourself up-to-date on YouTubers that do fashion or beauty videos, then you probably know who Michelle Phan is. She’s a multi-talented young woman, and one of the most popular YouTubers around. She has fashion advice, beauty videos, DIYs, and more. Michelle is also an art student, so you know she works hard!

Michelle recently launched a couple of new projects: her website, FAWN, and now, her Ever Eden jewelry collection. Phan worked in collaboration with Glamhouse.com to create these pieces, and she recently unveiled some of them on her website.

Michelle talks about her inspiration and concept behind the new jewelry line on her site: “Ever Eden is a fashion jewelry line guided by the allure of a symphony beheld in the kingdom of heaven on earth…. The Ever Eden line is divided into two categories - Sanctuary and Knight. The Sanctuary pieces represent Joan’s faith and spirit, and are inspired by rose windows on churches and the mandorla symbol. The armory inspired Knight collection personify Joan’s bravery and strength.”

I really like Michelle’s honesty about where her inspiration came from. She also mentions Joan of Arc, which is like, hello! Awesome. This collection really suits Michelle; you can see her influence in it. She has a really fierce, but elegant sense of style, and it’s apparent in the first piece she’s releasing.

Here’s the video Michelle posted on her site that promotes the first piece: In the video, Michelle talks more about her inspiration, Joan of Arc. She also talks about what life has to offer, and how her line represents the different parts of Joan’s life, and how we should never take anything for granted. She goes on to encourage her fans and followers to never give up on their dreams. Her words are thoughtful without sounding scripted, and it’s important that you notice how honest she is in filming the video. She isn’t just talking about her collection, saying, “Buy this, buy that.” She’s more concerned with how the collection influences the people who purchase the pieces, and more worried about telling her viewers how she views life.

Michelle has really taken the time to put together a well-thought-out collection. You can tell she hasn’t just thrown together something she thinks is cute or trendy. Her inspiration runs is deeply rooted in history, the Garden of Eden, and the power of believing in yourself. I hope that her collection and her words inspire others to live the same way – to never give up on their dreams. Enjoy the pictures and video of Michelle’s collection. I know I can’t wait to purchase some of her pieces!
