About Taylor

Hi! I’m a freelance writer, market editor, stylist and blogger living and working in New York City. I cover a range of lifestyle topics including fashion, menswear, travel, dating, and pop culture.

My professional career has been grounded in the digital space—I began my career in New York as an editorial intern for Elle.com. From there, I served as Senior Editor, Fashion Editor, and a Menswear Editor for a variety of online publications.

In 2015 I transitioned into my most exciting role yet: freelance writer, editor and most recently, stylist. Clients include NBC News, InStyle digital, Teen Vogue digital, Bumble (the dating app) CBS Watch! magazine, Verily, About.com, Style Girlfriend and The Today Show

When I’m not writing or blogging, I spend time in Sun Valley, Idaho with my family, exploring the East Coast with friends and looking for love in all the wrong places. I prefer and Old Fashioned over a Manhattan and would eat the spaghetti al limone at Supper every day if I could.

the blog

From 2009 to 2019, I ran a successful fashion and lifestyle blog, SHUT UP I LOVE THAT. The site was a space for me to share personal style tips, travels and musings on life in New York City. I posted weekly original content and collaborated on projects with Westin Hotels, Crest, Templeton Rye, PopSugar, AOL, Lyst, General Motors, Paige Denim, Framebridge, Ugg Australia, and Proof Eyewear among others.

SHUT UP I LOVE THAT has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, New York magazine online, StyleCaster, AOL StyleList and The Huffington Post, among others.

Previous Editorial Work

As the Fashion and Menswear Editor of both Lifestyle Mirror and The Luxer, I spent more than two years creating original and engaging content in the luxury fashion space. I covered topics ranging from menswear to runway trends, shopping tips, celebrity style, news and profiles.

My first full-time job in New York was as the Senior Editor for Independent Fashion Bloggers, a content producer, global community and resource for thousands of fashion bloggers who's goal was to grow their blog into a business. I produced daily content that touched on topics from coding to photography, writing tips, ethics, affiliate marketing, social media and more. Twice a year, myself and the IFB team (all five of us) would fund, plan, organize and run IFBcon, the first conference of it's kind—aimed specifically at educating fashion and lifestyle bloggers and helping them network with peers and businesses.
