The most anticipated show from Darren Star, Emily in Paris features our Pretty Connected straps on the show! As many of you know our signature multi-use strap which became popular during the pandemic as the original multi-use face mask chain has been in existence for years! And pre-Covid it was a popular as a bag strap and necklace. I made a custom chain for the show last year, when their costume designer, Patricia Field (who also carries the straps on patriciafield.com), was headed to Paris to film.
Almost a year later, the show is in the top 10 for Netflix! Catch The strap being worn by actress, Ashley Park, who plays Mindy Chen, Emily’s bestfriend. She’s rocking our Pretty Connected chain ($36) as a necklace in Episode 7, 5min in while at dinner with Emily and Camille.
The chain is customized with charms which we do for special orders. For inquiries email us at [email protected].

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, – 10:00 am pst/1 pm est, MASTER YOUR OWN BRAND Panel
Let’s face it… at some point you’ve thought about how to evolve your content creator business to the next level. Maybe you’ve done successful campaigns with brand partners and it gave you a taste for what you can generate from your posts…or maybe you just want to develop an income stream stemming from products that reflect your own personality. How do you get started and fund your business? Do you merch under your own name or not? Hear first hand some of the key learnings from an influencer turned business founder. Q & A w/ leading influencers
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, – 11:00 am pst/2 pm est – INFLUENCERS UNPLUGGED: CREATING HOLISTIC BRAND RELATIONSHIPS Panel
While influencer marketing has catapulted many companies into financial darlings with private equity investors and to avid social media fandom, working with influencers is more of an art than science. Yes, data matters – audience fit, engagement, content fit are all very important metrics. But more so, the relationship that you develop with social media influencers who become your brand ambassadors and spokespeople matters even more. How do you cultivate long lasting relationships? Hear directly from influencers how they have nurtured relationships with favorite companies and what are the key tactics you can use to connect in a more holistic way with content creators.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Pink Pony, Ralph Lauren Fragrances continues this important initiative and commitment to the fight against cancer, with an exclusive scent, ROMANCE Pink Pony Edition. Throughout the month of October, Ralph Lauren Fragrances will donate 100% of the profits to the Pink Pony Fund.
As part of the launch I got to attend an exclusive floral arrangement class with Lewis Miller, who is partnering with the brand for an upcoming Flower Flashes, which will be inspired by the fragrance and will pop up throughout NYC during October.
The first Pink Pony “Flower Flash” will pop-up on October 13 in front of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Ralph Lauren Center (RLC). Since its founding in 2003, RLC has cared for thousands of patients making it a beacon for accessible, compassionate cancer care for residents of Harlem and beyond. RLC provides high-quality care in a warm, welcoming, and culturally sensitive environment.
In response to Wendy’s unisex comment, she’s not wrong when it comes to the chains paired with our exceptional female-founded partners listed above. They do sku more feminine. However, our mask chains alone offer tons of more unisex options. Our new Ryan ($30) gunmetal chain launching on Friday, the Dylan plastic chain ($22) in light blue, royal blue and black, as well as the Charlie Chain ($24) in silver (black and gold coming soon!), have been huge sellers for the boys. Although we try not to gender stereotype over here since we’re working hard to have an option for everyone, no matter how you identify. We’re all about personal style!
BIG NEWS! We’re teaming up with the award-winning virtual beauty app YouCam Makeup, as part of their female founder series to bring my signature beauty look to life, virtually!
You can now try on my beauty look with the click of a button! YouCam’s in-app virtual try-on brings my fall beauty look to life through hyper-realistic augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) try-on, inviting fans to experience content in an entirely new way.
The unique partnership my signature two-toned makeup style complete with midnight blue liner and ombre lips, and a special edition photo frame highlighting Pretty Connected’s best-selling mask and multi-purpose chain strap accessories. The interactive try-ons allow fans to experience the trendsetting fall beauty style and chain-link photo frame with a tap of their smart device.

I’ve previously partnered with YouCam for my beauty non-profit, Share Your Beauty where for National Lipstick Day we partnered with editors/influnencers to do a drive where they could donate their unused lipsticks to a women’s shelter in the tri-state area.

Like many, the dream of having my wedding be in the New York Times, felt just like that, a dream. And today, it happened for me. Well sort of. Instead of covering the soon to be ‘best day of my life’, it’s about the subject that keeps me up at night. Figuring out what to do and how to celebrate this amazing 14 year relationship I’ve been in and commemorate our love. In over a decade we’ve accumulated a lot of friends. Whether or not we’re now just Facebook friend or acquaintances, many of these people are a part of our love story, and as someone who is always of the ‘more the merrier’ mindset, I want every special human, that’s ever touched my/our lives to be a part of my big day.
I’m so excited to announce I’ll be LIVE with Century 21 department store at 7pm EST on their Facebook page! I shopped legendary NYC department store with Irene, Century 21’s Resident Fashion Insider to score some amazing deals and designer must haves of the season.
