Tiffany Olson
Fashion Week Corespondent | Creative Assistant
Tiffany is a newlywed, stylist, writer and fashion junkie. After graduating from The University of Georgia in 2006, she tried out commercial Real Estate for a few years, but decided she needed to return to her very first love: fashion. Her first magazine subscription? Vogue. Favorite woman in the fashion industry? DVF. #1 city to visit as much as possible? NYC!!! Her style preferences could be described as a mixture between milder versions of Charlotte and Carrie. She is usually battling the ongoing war of: “should I be comfortable?” or “should I suffer a little for fashion?”. In an ideal world, she’d get a manicure every other day, and have Starbucks delivered in the mornings.
Tiffany lives in Georgia with her husband, Charles, and dog, Bentley, and is thrilled to join the cupcakeMAG crew!

Kim Solimini
East Coast Contributor
Kim is beyond thrilled to be a new contributing writer for cupcakeMAG! She is a twenty something newlywed who was born in a small town in Georgia, but grew up in New England. Kim is the perfect mix of southern hospitality with a city chic attitude.
Kim has had an interest in all things fashion since she was a little girl. Designer bags, chocolate and reality TV are her major weaknesses in life. She is obsessed with Internet shopping, designer brands, and finding them at an amazing deal! Her style is pretty classic and traditional with the added bold accessory or pop of color to make an outfit complete. Lover of anything pretty and pink!
In addition to being a contributing writer for cupcakeMAG, Kim loves blogging on her personal blog daily about new recipes, shopping and is always making her readers aware of a good deal, or a fabulous new fashion find. She also works full time as a Senior Financial Analyst, is going to school for Photography, loves reading a good new book, traveling, and constantly re-decorating her home. Kim is one that thrives on being busy and involved, and loves to have her hands in anything creative!
Kim lives with her husband, their dog and two cats.

Shandi
West Coast Contributor
Shandi grew up in a small town in Northern California. A true Cali girl, she had dreams of being a make-up artist and quickly turned them into reality as she made the move to Hollywood to work in Film. With a love for shopping, dressing-up and being the socialite on the town – Shandi, met her darling hubs and soon welcomed 2 Littles. After unexpectedly welcoming her daughter 2 months early {yes, a 32 weeker!} Shandi is beyond blessed everyday to have Nova in her life. When she isn’t working for cupcakeMAG or playing with her Littles, you can find her spending lots of time in the kitchen, crafting, throwing the best parties, and doing make-up time to time. But, her number one focus is her love for motherhood - and of course, being a part of cupcakeMAG!
Oh, did we mention — her Littles, Nova & Asen are the best dressed darlings in the sunny state! Thanks to Twitter & support during days in the NICU, Casi & Shandi’s little girls {both preemies!} are now virtual besties and soon hope for a in real life play date.
