I started blogging a little over two years ago. At the time, I had no idea where it would take me, I just wanted it to take me out of my yoga pants. Well, two years and lots of fun, learning, friendships, opportunities later I have been presented with my biggest opportunity to date. [...]
Growing up in Southern California, I did not give all that much thought to shoes. I basically lived in flip flops. But, let’s face it, flip flops are not exactly classy. Don’t get me wrong, I will NEVER buy into the idea that flip flops shouldn’t be worn….NEVER! It is a SoCal staple and eternally [...]
I am always on a mission to find ways to be cute yet practical as a mom. If you’re a mom, you understand what I mean. It’s so tempting (and easy!) to wear sweats every day. But we don’t have to! Getting dressed up can boost your spirits, make you feel better about yourself, and [...]
Hello pretties! It’s Alison of Get Your Pretty On back to share something near and dear to me – helping other moms build their wardrobes. As a mom of three, I know how hard it can be to look put together when you’re busy taking care of everyone else. When other moms find out that [...]
As you all might know, I get to travel a little bit. I guess that’s part of being married to a basketball player. In fact, as you read this I am in the south of France! Before you get too jealous, just know I have my two boys with me and my husband couldn’t come. [...]
The way I stay up with current fashion trends is by watching the street style of celebrities, socialites and up & comers.

So last week I challenged myself to wear 7 pieces of clothing 7 different ways. It was an awesome challenge and accomplished more than I thought it would. I had to think outside of the box, I had to put together outfits I wouldn’t otherwise have done and I had to use what I chose. [...]
I think we all have a uniform. Whether it’s for a job or just around the house, we all have the ‘go-to’ items in our closet. One of the most famous is “The Mom Uniform.” If you’re a mom, you know exactly what I’m talking about — jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers. We have to be [...]
Well, it’s officially April. No, I’m not slow, it’s just that time flies, doesn’t it?! I don’t know about you, but I feel like April ushers in a season. Yes, spring, but more than that. It ushers in wedding/shower season. How many of you are already filling up your weekends with baby showers, wedding showers, engagement parties, [...]
Want to know what my new obsession is?? Thrift Stores. Now I live in Southern California and there are some uh-mazing thrift stores in these parts (I will gladly take the wealthy, fashionable socialite’s cast offs!) But you know what? My little town doesn’t have any over the top, amazing thrift stores. Just normal people [...]
