Alison is a 46-year-old wife, mom of three, entrepreneur, INFJ, coffee worshiper and goat lover. Yes, you read that right, goats. At the heart of it all she's truly a jeans and tee kind of girl who loves spending time with her family and exploring the best places to eat in Dallas, TX. She is an accidental minimalist when it comes to fashion and style, mixing her tried and true closet staples with a few seasonal trends. Alison's goal is to help all women feel pretty by being the go-to resource for inclusive style inspiration and beauty advice.

Alison is the creator/editor of the blog, Get Your Pretty On, a style and beauty resource curated for real women, by real women. Our goal is to change the way women feel about themselves- forever. We believe every woman, no matter their size, age, ethnicity or budget, deserves to feel pretty. Women who feel good in their own skin are always the prettiest – and that touches every area of their lives. By being the go-to resource for inclusive fashion inspiration and lifestyle advice, our goal is to connect with real women across the world, empower them to be confident, and to have fun along the way.

At the encouragement of her readers Alison launched Style Challenges -- an online capsule wardrobe membership program. Since rolling out the program in 2014, over 25,000 women in 20 countries have participated. Alison is a personal stylist and former actress and print model with both creative and technical backgrounds and was also a network engineer for several years before leaving corporate America to pursue creative endeavors.
