Contributors "What word do you overuse or that you find other people overuse?" 30 BAL HARBOUR Jackie Cooperman covers travel, style, food and culture for many publications, including The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and the Financial Times. Based in New York, she has also lived in Paris, London and Milan, where she worked for the International Herald Tribune and Women's Wear Daily. "The word I use a lot—but not too much—according to my 7-year-old daughter: 'love.' The word other people overuse: 'relatable.'" A former hedge-fund attorney, Bee Shapiro is now a contributing columnist to The New York Times Fashion & Style section. Her work has also been featured in Vanity Fair, W, Harper's Bazaar and Fast Company. "I keep hearing the phrase 'stackable content.' It feels like the next 'deep dive'— overused by tech and social media hounds as the new 'it' term!" Lynn Yaeger is a fashion writer who lives in New York City and has an imaginary apartment in Paris, where she spends all, or at least most, of her time visiting flea markets. She writes frequently for Vogue, The New York Times' T Magazine, Travel + Leisure and the Sundance Channel's Full Frontal Fashion website. "I have a habit of adding 'ish' onto words—as in, let's meets five-ish or the dress is ugly-ish—which might annoy other people. For my part, when people say 'prioritize,' which is not even a real word, it drives me up the wall!" Eugenia Santiesteban Soto is a style editor and consultant based in New York. Prior to her freelance career, she was style director for Veranda, overseeing the product and style pages. Born and raised in Miami, she is a graduate of Williams College. She started her career at Elle Decor before becoming senior market editor at Domino magazine. "'I live in Brooklyn, so it's probably 'artisanal,' 'handcrafted,' or 'kale.' You can't have a conversation without one of those words creeping in."
