Francesca Borgognone

A born and raised New Yorker, Francesca has acquired a knack for knowing all that the Big Apple has to offer from the best bagels in Chelsea to hidden, but utterly fantastic boutiques on the Upper West. In pursuit of her editorial destiny, she has prepped herself in suitable fashion, with a background in Communications and Magazine Journalism from The Fashion Institute of Technology and a slew of internships at publications such as Teen Vogue, W, Food Network Magazine, Marie Claire, etc. Francesca prides herself on being a jack of all trades in the worlds of food, fashion and travel and can be found dug under a pile of magazines at any given time, trying new recipes, and brunching, lunching, and catching a movie on Sunday afternoons with her boyfriend. She currently resides at Italian Vogue where she is a Production Assistant. She also critiques the new and the next restaurants all over town on her spare time for her personal blog, FancyonLife. She is ecstatic to be joining Haute Living’s daily blog and is fully ready to share all the buzz about all of Manhattan’s luxury ongoings.
