When we decided to get back to interviewing people in the media or creative industry, we couldn’t think of a better person to kick it off than with Julee Wilson from Real Simple.

New York - Real Simple is celebrating their 10th Anniversary this month, but that isn’t the only reason why we wanted Julee Wilson on The Blay Report. Two months ago Julee was just promoted from associate fashion editor to staff fashion editor, and she is what we would like to call an “OB:” an original Blaynista. The statuesque editor has been reading The Blay Report even before the site came to be in 2006, when our editor-in-chief and she were interns at Vibe in 2002. ”Zandile is everything that she does,” Julee says. “She embodies The Blay Report and all the work that she does so I feel like I was reading it since 2002 even though it wasn’t around.”
Aspiring journalists should take note though: Julee is one editor you should know by name as she is doing it all — from writing, editing and styling to market appointments and blogging. She even did a Today Show segment on Monday morning, April 5. After all her hard work Julee is where she wanted to be in her life, which comes with her own office and a view of the busy Avenue of the Americas street. Now tell us if she doesn’t have your dream job. Read on for our exclusive interview with Real Simple‘s new staff fashion editor.
