In May 2014 I created Simply by Simone as my creative outlet. I have a bachelors degree in Business Administration, have worked in retail, textiles, human resources and most recently for an iconic global brand. I reside just outside of New York City, in Westchester County, and work in New York City. I feature inspiring outfits and advice for women and girls everywhere. To do this, I always mix key investment pieces matched with an overall affordable style. Plus, advice & motivation to get you through the week!
