Born and raised in New Orleans, Anastasia Simon has spent the past three and a half years making Atlanta her home. With a degree in textiles and apparel merchandising from Louisiana State University, Anastasia dabbled in public relations, fashion show production and visual merchandising before going back to her first love, writing. When she’s not busy researching and writing stories for Haute Living, or any one of the other publications that she regularly contributes to, Anastasia can usually be found checking out Atlanta’s burgeoning fashion and art scene, consuming copious amounts of coffee, and hunting around thrift stores for her next great fashion find.
