This is probably the first Memorial Day weekend where I stayed in NYC and I’m so glad I did. For starters, everyone else escaped so the city was calm and the weather was perfect. Saturday, I hit up BeautyCon, which made it’s debut appearance in NYC. Partnering with Elle Magazine
Dreaming of mingling with celebrities, beauty bloggers, and industry insiders? Now is your chance! BeautyCon, a fashion and beauty summit for the internet’s most influential beauty and fashion icons, is coming to New York on May 24th at Pier 36.
Spring is finally in air and if you’re in need of a beauty refresh, I have just the event for you! On May 1, Bergdorf Goodman is partnering with ELLE Magazine for a very exciting day of beauty. All day long the retailer will be offering complimentary makeovers and beauty consultations giving customers the opportunity to try out the latest colors, treatments and more. And from 5:00pm – 7:00pm, join Bergdorf’s Beauty Editor (and one of my favorite bloggers), Felicia Walker Benson in-store as she chats everything spring beauty.

I’m lucky to have grown up with a philanthropic mother who always taught me the importance of volunteering and giving back. And in addition to using my website to promote brands, like AVEENO striving to make a difference, I mentor with the non-profit organization, STOKED, that serves to promote personal development, academic achievement, and healthy living to under-served youth through action sports (snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing) and community service programs.
If you’re an ACTIVE NATURAL or know someone who is, APPLY!
**Style moment (all about scarves): In the AVEENO ad I am wearing an Express scarf, in the picture where I’m holding the magazine, I’m in the Lolly Gauze Fringe Scarf and in the video I’m wearing a mark. scarf.
How exciting! My first MAJOR photo credit in Elle!!! As most of you know I partnered with supermodel, extraordinaire, Elettra Wiedmann to join the PR team for her GOODNESS pop-up restaurant during New York Fashion Week. Elettra is also the face of Lancome and during GOODNESS, Lancome hosted a private beauty editor event — as in literally all my hero’s in the beauty industry were there (*contain excitement*)!
And fortunately for me, they asked if I would shoot the event! While I’m an amateur photographer at best, I have to say, I did pretty good for myself!
I mean seriously, how beautiful does Elettra look in this picture?!?! It’s a good thing she’s flawless — it made my job super easy! And I’m so grateful to Elle for such a thorough photo credit! “Photo: Lara Eurdolian/Pretty Connected”, MAJOR!!!
