What is a Simple Sophisticate you may be wondering? The simple sophisticate is someone who prefers quality over quantity, sensible living over mindless consumption, personal style instead of trendy fashions, has an insatiable curiosity for life’s endless questions and a desire to live a truly fulfilling life rather than being led around by the nose. Inspired by her lifestyle blog The Simply Luxurious Life, Shannon Ables (the original Simple Sophisticate) shares with listeners tips on how to live a refined life on an everyday income. From achieving your goals, preparing a memorable meal, creating a capsule wardrobe, traveling the world (Francophiles and Anglophiles tune in as France and Britain are favorite destinations of exploration), and living life to the fullest without breaking the bank, living well is really quite simple.

I think there’s a good balance between ‘easy’ subjects, like style/decorating, and ‘bigger’ subjects like contentment, the bigger picture of improving the quality of your life. I enjoy this podcast very much.” —BBolhuis, Netherlands
