My twin sister and I were born in Paris in 1979, and grew up in France, England, and (mostly) the suburbs of Michigan. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 2001, I moved to New York City. I launched my career at Cosmopolitan, where my editorial responsibilities included stopping good-looking men on the street and asking them sexy questions. After working for women’s magazines for three years, I became the editor-in-chief of Bene, a small award-winning magazine about Italian life and style. From 2005 to 2007, I launched and ran the quarterly, which covered fashion, design, food, wine, travel and lifestyle. In 2008, I left Bene to write for magazines, including Glamour, Elle, New York, Budget Travel and Cookie. I was the relationships blogger for Glamour.com for two years, and also blogged for Conde Nast Traveler and Martha Stewart Living. During this time, I started A Cup of Jo as a weekend hobby, but after a few years — to my surprise — the site grew big enough to become my full-time job. (Here’s a post about blogging as a career.) My husband and I now live in Brooklyn with our two little boys, Toby and Anton.

Meet the Team
Caroline Donofrio
Editor
Caroline moved to New York in 2002 to attend Barnard College. She began her editorial career as an intern at Vogue, where she spent many hours in the fabled fashion closet, trying on exquisite shoes and even lovelier jewelry. Though the shoes were nice, Caroline decided she loved books more and made a jump to publishing, spending the next few years at the talent and literary agency William Morris Endeavor. From 2011 to 2014, she worked as an editor at Penguin, where she acquired and edited fiction and nonfiction books. Though she loves blogging, she’ll never completely turn her back on books — she is currently at work on one of her own. Caroline lives in Brooklyn with her small dog and far too many beauty products. You can reach her at caroline@cupofjo.com, or find her on Twitter and Instagram.
Alexis Mainland
Managing Editor
Lexi joined A Cup of Jo in the spring of 2015, after working for more than eight years at The New York Times in a range of storytelling, editing, and digital strategy roles. She has run blogs and interactive projects, written a weekly column about shopping, spent a year interviewing unique New Yorkers (an undertaking that won her an Emmy, which has its own shelf in her clothes closet), covered elections and political scandals, and led a team focused on social media. Before The Times, Lexi worked in documentary TV and digital media at WGBH, the flagship PBS station. She is a committed news junkie, but her truest passions are design, food, culture and online communities like this. Lexi lives in Brooklyn with her husband, toddler son and King Charles spaniel. You can email her at lexi@cupofjo.com, or find her on Twitter and Instagram.
Stella Blackmon
Editorial Assistant
Stella grew up in Springfield, Missouri, where for many years she assisted and collaborated with the fine arts photographer Julie Blackmon, her mom. In 2013, Stella began her editorial career writing about road trips and entertaining tips for the women’s lifestyle site Clementine Daily. After graduating from college in 2015, Stella spent the summer as an intern at A Cup of Jo. She joined the team as a full-time staff member that fall. Stella lives in Brooklyn with two friends and her treasured collection of Nora Ephron films. You can reach her at stella@cupofjo.com, or find her on Instagram.
