CEE FARDOE IS A CANADIAN WRITER WITH A PASSION FOR TRAVELING, FASHION AND HER SECOND HOME – PARIS. SHE SHARES ALL OF THAT, ALONG WITH HER TIPS FOR EFFORTLESS, INTELLIGENT DRESSING, ON COCO & VERA.

A business professional by day with a creative flair and a love of writing – she holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing – Cee hopes to inspire women and to show them how to add a little bit of Parisian je ne sais quoi to their everyday lives. She currently resides in Vancouver with her husband. They make frequent trips to their second home, Paris.

He has photographed events and campaigns for Estée Lauder, Lacoste, Vera Wang, American Eagle and many more respected brands.
