Author Information

Elizabeth Holmes spent more than a decade on staff at The Wall Street Journal covering the business and messaging of fashion. In 2017, Elizabeth left the journal and now writes for a variety of national outlets, including The New York Times, In Style, Elle, Real Simple, Glamour, Town & Country, and Vogue International, as well as her regular column with Cup of Jo. Elizabeth was born outside of Chicago, found her stride in New York, and now lives with her husband and three young children in the suburbs of San Francisco--but London is her spirit city.
