Tiffany Ish grew up in Seattle and got her fashion sense at an early age from her fabulously stylish mom. A successful independent blogger (check out I Am Style-ish), Tiffany’s mission at Smarter.com is to have fun with it and write about things that make her happy. As a “vertically challenged” person, Tiffany hates shopping in the petite section of the store, so she gets a lot of her clothes tailored to fit perfectly. She’s also got a dainty size-5 foot (lucky lady) but can never find shoes. When she does find them, she wants the heels HIGH. Tiffany joined the ranks of fashion fiends straight from her mom’s closet, and her love of very high heels was cemented in high school when she borrowed a pair of Mom’s Guccis for her prom. Her other life-changing style moment: getting eyelash extensions. “I never have to deal with mascara again, and I always have fabulously lush, long lashes!”

A born and raised New Yorker, Sharon is style editor for The Fashion Spot, New York Editor for Beauty Snob and blogger (check her out at sharonfeiereisen.tumblr.com), and her mission at Smarter.com is to the share the fruits of her beauty obsession. Sharon has been a fashionista since kindergarten, when she put together elaborate layered looks. In fifth grade, she was sent home for wearing a hot pair of silver booties — her first high heels. In sixth grade, she got a Moschino black bag, which she still has. In true fashionista fashion, Sharon’s Manhattan apartment has two massive closets and a walk-in stuffed with her fabulous fashion finds, including hundreds of pairs of shoes, handbags and two overflowing vanities with jewelry. She’s also got two huge shelves filled with makeup and beauty products, and is on the look out for more.

Belinda is a Cali girl to her core. A self-taught style critic, she brings her fashion sense to Smarter.com with a mission to offer insights, style tips and inspiration, and to share her real-life fashion experiences. You won’t find Belinda sporting many prints, because they change so quickly, but she can hardly resist a classic black-and-white stripe pattern. And while Belinda tried out her first heels at 14, in typical Cali style, she usually prefers more comfortable footwear — especially flats. No-fuss garments fill Belinda’s closet, and if it’s not comfortable, she doesn’t wear it. She also loves cocktail rings, because they add the right amount of “sparkle” to any outfit and always “make the cocktail in your hand look so much better!”

Jenna’s our mid-western, self-taught style siren. Born and raised in Michigan, she put on her first high heels at 5 (sparkly with pink feathers across the top) and had a makeup routine in the third grade. Fashion has always been Jenna’s passion, and now she gets to share her style wisdom for work! Glamour.com featured Jenna as a Best Dressed Reader, and she is a fashion expert at Wetpaint. She’s also been a fashion blogger for StyleCheckup, a fashion columnist for AND Magazine and a high-fashion contributor for Front Row View/FRV Magazine. Much like her best-dressed icons — Jackie O, Princess Di and Sarah Jessica Parker — Jenna believes style is about far more than fashion. “It’s more about happiness, confidence and owning a look that’s completely true to yourself and your tastes. In the great words of Yves Saint Laurent, ‘Fashion fades; style is eternal.’ I hope readers always remember that!”

Brock comes to Smarter’s Home & Garden Blog with a fondness for Do-It-Yourself work. He spends his weekends trying to grow vegetables in his garden that seems to have more rocks than actual dirt. He can often be found harassing the employees at Home Depot for the easiest and least expensive way to tile his bathroom and driving around looking at old farmhouses. He grew up outside a small town in Illinois and learned everything about gardening and home improvement from his father, who had the uncanny ability to fix everything with duct tape, spackle and a soldering iron. He has been a writer his entire life and, when not wrangling his children or writing for Smarter’s Home & Garden Blog, can be found working on the next great horror novel or short story.
