<em>Why You Should Trust Us</em>
Natalie LaBarbera is PureWow's assistant commerce editor. She writes about all things shopping, including fashion, beauty, travel, wellness and more, searching for the best products out there in the process (bonus points if they're eco-friendly and ethically produced!). She has a master's in fashion studies from Parsons and bachelor's in psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and prior to working at PureWow, she gained several years of experience in fashion through various freelance roles, retail and personal styling (see more on her experience on LinkedIn). When she's not writing for work or fun, she loves reading fantasy novels and traveling with her small, feisty chihuahua-mix, Dobby, who has a strong affinity for the south of France.
Nicole Briese is PureWow's Commerce Director. With a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Michigan State University and more than 15 years of experience writing and editing shopping content, she has made a career for herself covering her favorite topics: fashion, lifestyle, travel and rock 'n' roll. She lives in Florida with her boyfriend and two cats, and she can usually be found stalking hairless animals on the internet. Check out her blog at nicolebjean.com.
