Experience

An experienced fashion journalist who has written on style topics for Womensforum.com and many other publications, Cathy has also covered a variety of lifestyle topics, including fragrance, food, beauty, and entertainment.

Cathy formerly spent 12 years as the founder and managing editor of a fashion-oriented website for teenage girls devoted to helping teens evolve their styles and selves.

Education

Cathy acknowledges that most of her fashion education came in the form of real-life lessons learned from many other stylish women, including her fashion icons, Sarah Harris, Carine Roitfeld, Kate Moss, Jenna Lyons and Isabelle Huppert.
