Stephanie Simons

San Francisco Bay Area-based author Stephanie Simons has earned acclaim from ELLE magazine, People StyleWatch, USWeekly, PopSugar, The San Francisco Chronicle and other national media for her humor and fashion insight. All's Fair In Love And Wardrobe (June 2014) and her second book, Chic-tionary (October 2014), are sold internationally at bookstores and boutiques, including Forever 21.

Born in San Francisco and raised in Walnut Creek, Stephanie got her start early writing lifestyle articles for Bay Area publications (instead of her college newspaper): Daily Candy, PaperCity, San Francisco magazine, ManRepeller, Cosmopolitan, C magazine and countless others.

Simons works as an editorial strategist and retail copywriter for iconic global brands, specializing in brand voice strategy, product naming, and advertising. Her ideas have fueled some of the most imaginative window campaigns, ad concepts and product names for big brands like Levi's, Banana Republic, Piperlime, Benefit Cosmetics and Holt Renfrew. During her book tour in 2014, and as a host for Shoetube in 2009, she appeared as a style and beauty expert on entertainment news shows nationwide.
