Alexandra Ilyashov is a Brooklyn-based freelance writer and editor covering fascinating people and trends in food, fashion, cannabis, wellness, and entertainment for publications including New York Magazine, Glamour, Eater, WSJ. Magazine, InStyle, Fashionista, Saveur, V, Gossamer, Cherry Bombe, and many more. When she’s not working, you'll probably find her inhaling pizza (crust-first), doing Zumba, shamelessly binging Real Housewives, or scouring eBay for antique jewelry, quirky trays, and paperweights.
