Summer is here and in what feels like my first day off since birth, I took my pup, Charlie on his first Vespa ride to McCarren Park for a day in the park and picnic with some friends. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon.

hautelook-loverichie-shorts-lara-charlie hautelook-post-lara-charlie mccarren-park-hautebook-crop-top Charlie and I have been traveling the past few weeks so it was really nice to be outside with him and to let him run in the grass. Don’t let his passive, sit-on-your-lap-for-hours personality fool you. When given a full field of grass he’ll do laps at full force. And is definitely faster than me.

It’s been another go-go week for me with no signs of slowing down. Last week it was Providence and Boston and now I’m on a train to DC. I shot this in my 2 day stint in New York.  I’m going through a major neutral phase, I even took my forever bold lip down a few notches and have been wearing the new limited edition Gucci Lip Luxurious Moisture Rich Lipstick in shade Lilac, that’s part of the spring/summer collection. I haven’t found my perfect nude quite yet and this shade satisfies that itch. It’s very natural on and the formula is really light and moisturizing with a subtle pop of purple.

I’ve also been wearing my Gigi New York Chelsea Crossbody from last fashion week more now that it’s summer. It’s that perfect size and I’m a sucker for anything with my initials and my new Timex Fairfield Weekender watch in Rose Gold. It’s actually unisex and one of my favorites on both James and me (we share it). It’s a clean design and just perfect — they seem to be sold out of this particular strap — they have more of the colorful ones on their site, but hopefully they are back in stock soon! I’m also not a big fringe person but fell for this faux suede top from Forever 21. I think I’m channeling my inner Pocahontas –either that or music festival season is rubbing off. My jeans are also from Forever 21 and the distressed boyfriend cut is my perfect fit.

Spread Softness with Splendid

splendid-spread-the-softnessA few weeks ago Charlie and I stopped by Splendid’s pop-up store in Soho with some of gal-pals to celebrate their Spread Softness campaign. If you’ve ever owned one of their tee you know softness is synonymous with the brand. But their crusade to make the world a softer place has more dimension. At Splendid, they believe that softness comes in many forms. Even more so than their cozier then ever fabrics, its about appreciating one another, celebrating special moments, family, and being a catalyst for kindness. The smallest gesture can have the biggest impact on someone’s day. And they want to encourage everyone doing their part to make this a softer world!

Monochromatic

Yesterday, felt like the first day off I’ve had in a while. We were originally supposed to go to Long Beach but since I’m out of town the next two weekends being home, walking the waterfront seemed like all the vacation I needed. I kept my outfit simple and finally wore my new jumpsuit from Sedona East. For anyone not familiar with Sedona East, they are an awesome online retailer that fulfills all my boho style needs. I’ve also been wearing m Soko Chain Dangle necklace on repeat. It’s great alone or as a layering piece. And breaking in my Havaianas Slim black flip flops I picked up at their preview a few weeks ago. The slim styles have to my favorite from the brand, it’s much less bulky then the originals and a staple I like to refresh every season in my closet.chaser-tribland-jumpsuit-sedona-east-romper

Celebrating Karlie Kloss as the Face of Swarovski #BeBrilliant

nbs-studios-charlie-kingOn Tuesday Night, Charlie and I enjoyed a glamorous evening at the Top of the Rock to celebrate Karlie Kloss as the new face and brand ambassador to Swarovski. In a gorgeous campaign shot my photographer Tommy Ton (we LOVE him!), here is one of my favorites from the campaign. You can see all of the images HERE.

I never imagined my dog could be such an amazing +1. And to think I almost didn’t bring him! Before the event Charlie and I visited Swarovski to take a look at the new collection and what can I say, he charmed the crowd into lending him this amazing Swarovski necklace that’s part of their collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier. Needless to say it’s on both of our wish lists!

I mean, how cute is he? I’m not sure there was a single person at that party that didn’t hold or snapchat him. He was in the arms of everyone from Hailee Seinfeld, Bryanboy to Harley Viera-Newton. And we may or may not have a video of BryanBoy saying he’s the most fashionable dog he’s ever met. #Goals people!

Stepping into Spring with Viscata Espadrilles

kate-spade-test-2

If feels like spring has been wavering but earlier this month for just one day in between all the rain the sun came out and it made me so excited to put on my new Viscata espadrilles and a floral romper and visit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. You could say I really dressed the part from my hair to toe to celebrate all of the beautiful colors around me.

Surrounded in lilacs and cherry blossoms, there was really no better place to spend a beautiful day in NYC then at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. It exudes spring everywhere you look and there’s something so special about being surrounded in florals and the joy it brings to everyone around you walking the gardens.

Espadrilles always remind me of my sister who has lived in Europe for most of her adult life and owns about a million pairs. Viscata espadrilles are all hand made in Spain with artisan crafting based on traditional designs from centuries ago — but with a modern flair of breathable materials, sustainable packaging, and an array of fun colors and styles in both flats and wedges. These are my first pair of open toe espadrille wedges which I’ve been on the hunt for some time. There’s something a little more flirty about them then standard closed toe. Plus a wedge always makes your legs look leaner.

Celebrate Red Nose Day with us on May 26

red-nose-day-m&m
Mark your calendars friends for May 26th for Red Nose Day, the campaign dedicated to helping children and having fun. You can buy merchandise (like red nose’) from Walgreens where all of the proceeds go to the cause. There’s also a celebrity filled special fundraising event that premieres on NBC at 9/8c that day. Some of you remember the campaign from last year — I know I do and it had such a profound impact on me. Having been in Uganda a few months before, Jack Black’s footage of visiting the kids in hospitals from the region I visited had me so moved (and if I’m being honest, in tears) that I donated on the spot and wanted to do everything I could to support! red-nose-day-1

M&M has also launched the #MakeMLaugh challenge asking friends to post their best Red Nose look using the hashtags #MakeMLaugh and #RedNoseDay and tagging @MMSChocolate. For every post they are donating $1 to Red Nose Day. Charlie (he has an instagram now! @pompomcharlie) and I (@prettyconnected) both did it, although he was not having it with that nose — and actually it was perfectly fitting since it made me laugh pretty hard just how unwilling he was to even fake it for a photo and let me hold it up to his face. But then again that’s what this campaign is all about, spreading joy and making a difference.

The 90s Now: Chokers, Teva’s, Fanny packs?

{Outfit Details: Member’s Only Iconic Racer Jacket (on sale!), Double Agent Salty Hair Big Waves Tee, Rag & Bone Jeans (similar), LeSportsac Hand Free Wallet, Teva Universal Flatform Sandal}

I’ve been thinking a lot about the 90s recently. It’s pretty hard not to when Teva’s are everywhere and every themed event you attend is the 90s and your mailers are filled with Ring Pops and scrunchies (a brand even sent me the first season of 90210). I’m all about embracing my childhood and reliving it but with a modern twist. I bought my first pair of Teva’s in middle school, and still can’t believe I’m all about them and platforms again. And while I love that decade, I do think we need some updates so I thought I’d break down some of my best pointers starting with… DO NOT buy a black choker. Instead get a piece of black ribbon, tie it around your neck and call it a day! It will fit better and cost under $1.

lesportsac-crossbody-teva

Know how to work a fanny pack – I have seen some cute ones on the market and am obsessed with Hands Free Wallet crossbody I doubled as a fanny pack from LeSprotsac. It’s so lightweight and holds everything I need (built in wallet, phone, lipstick, eyeliner), although I’ll admit I usually wear it more to the side or back. Between having surgery for a herniated disc two years ago and the fact that usually my dog, phone or a drink occupies my hands, not dealing with a purse is kind of amazing! Also backpacks keep continuing to grow in popularity which I’m all for as well.

members-only-jacket-blue-lesportsacGo for the gold! While it was all about the gold digital watches back then, now with cell phones who uses a watch for anything but arm candy? Not me, and I own a million. I finally found my perfect gold watch this year with this Henry London Chiswick Bracelet Watch. The majority of my watches are mens (James and I actually share the collection) and this one is a found new addition to the family. Especially since their watches are really special. We even got the back engraved with our initials.

Celebrating Swim Season with StyleWatch and Teva!

rach-martino-lara-eurdolian-people-style-watch

On Wednesday night I had a blast celebrating the swimsuit issue of StyleWatch magazine with my fellow bloggers at Vandal in NYC. I always enjoy the magazine launch parties but this one had special significance since I was one of the bloggers featured in the issue.  At the party I ran into one of the other blogger babes featured, my girl Rachel Martino. I’ve known Rachel far before she became a blogger when she was an intern and we worked together. It’s so awesome how the world works and being able to share this moment together.

teva-classics

Teva sponsored the party and created a super fun experience. They let guests pick between their classic Original Universal style and Flatform Universal style and then enter the DIY station to bedazzle them with jewels and studs. Now I grew up in the 90s and owned the Original Universal as my first pair back in middle schools so I’m so excited these and and everything from that decade are coming back in a big way!

teva-diy-people-stylewatch teva-jeweled-diy

Teva’s are super comfortable and waterproof, I lived in them when I was at Coachella so I’m all about growing my collection. I actually have my eye on this super cute one from their collaboration with Derek Lam. They also have a really cool artist collaboration collection going on right now.
