SEQUIN x PRETTY CONNECTED Charmed Necklace to Mask Chains are Here!

It’s here!!!!!!! The Pretty Connected x Sequin Good Vibes Mask and Chain set! With four different charm options, each Talisman charm was inspired by an ancient symbol and designed as a reminder of our potential to dream, heal and thrive.

  • Elephant – Represents strength, stability and longevity
  • Evil Eye – Repels negativity and attracts good luck
  • Moon – Calm, illuminating energy to soothe the soul
  • Night Sky – Starry nights inspire infinite possibility

I’ve been a huge Sequin fan for as long as I can remember so to collaborate with them on a charm set for our mask to necklace chains has been incredible! Wear it as a necklace, mask chain, bag strap… the charm can be clipped to any part of the chain.

SJP Voted in our $30 Pretty Connected Mask Chain!

The one where Sarah Jessica Parker is at dinner with Andy Cohen and Amy Sedaris talking about our Pretty Connected Mini Nikki mask chain ($30).

And then takes her son to vote for the first time and is wearing the same chain!

I’ve been completely stressed about this election and then to have DMs in my inbox saying SJP is wearing your chain to vote! I literally couldn’t be more proud, and honored. Especially since I spent the last week watching Hocus Pocus on repeat! I’ve also been fortunate enough to meet her a few times and she’s just simply the best! Funny enough, the last time we met was at her SJP x Sunglass Hut launch party, which she also wore to the polls. And they’re on sale!

What an incredible moment! Taking her son voting for the first time and our Pretty Connected mask chains got to be a part of it! Here’s hoping more of our youth and country did the same and voted!

Grab a drink, we’re in for a ride! Stay safe everyone!

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. 

Educational registration is open now! All panels can be re-watched with ticket purchase. Check out the line up at https://www.unfilteredexperience.com/experience-online/education
