California love…

Hi  my loves! For all of you regulars to the site, you know I haven’t been on my game when it comes to posting. My daily posts morphed into just a few a week, which I need to put an end to! Despite how it may seem, I have been doing everything but taking a break. In actuality, the blog has never been busier! I’ve been traveling so much and doing so many collaborations that by the time I finish the long hours my brain is too tried to write (I know, terrible excuse!).  But you can always follow me at @prettyconnected on instagram for all of my latest adventures and event coverage and beauty discoveries. I’ve been back for a week now in NYC but I wanted to recap my 10 day trip to LA, since it was such an amazing experience. And I’ve been considering moving there for some time now!

Pretty Connected photo shoot
On set with Glam.com and Carefree

I came out to LA for a shoot with Glam.com, sponsored by Carefree. We shot 3 videos: How to pack to pack for a weekend trip, How to get ready in 5 minutes in the morning, and How to organize your lingerie draw, and it was so fun! All of the tips in the videos are mine so I’ll be sharing those over the next few months as they launch. The shoot took play in Pasadena, which is a beautiful suburb of LA. In all of my 10+ times to Los Angeles, I’d never been to Pasadena (and it’s only about 15 minutes for Downtown).

Dove Announces New Body Wash at the Emmy’s & Invites Viewers to Take the #OneShowerChallenge

20140823-171613-62173065.jpg With the 66th Emmy Awards just days away, top celebrity stylist, Micaela Erlanger, is sharing her Emmys red carpet style predictions. Micaela styles many of Hollywood’s A-list, including Lupita Nyong’o, Olivia Munn and Michelle Dockery, and will be styling three leading ladies for this year’s Emmy Awards.

For Micaela, (and hopefully all of you!) great style starts with beautiful skin, and she predicts many leading ladies will be showing it off this year! So, she is working with Dove and partnering with E! to premiere the #OneShowerChallenge at the Emmys pre-show, “Live From the Red Carpet” to show how all women can get softer, smoother and red carpet ready skin after just one shower with new Dove Body Wash and invite millions of women around the country to try it for themselves.
