Fun Facts
1. Allie fell in love with style when she was young.
"Growing up, I would go back to school shopping with my grandma once a year. This is when my love for fashion started! I had a passion for creating outfits and especially styling the accessories for them. Accessories are the cherry on top of the outfit that should never be forgotten, and I knew this from an early age."
