Rally Rose Style House

I hate about me sections, but here it goes… I’m Allyson Rose Swanson from Germantown, Ohio. Like literally the BEST place to grow up EVER, and in high school got coined with the nickname “Rally” (don’t ask how, its a dumb story, I promise) but…it stuck. I can’t even remember the last time my husband or friends called me Allyson. As much as I love my home town, it wasn’t so much the capitol of the world. Growing up I was totally a child of the 90’s and my idea of a cool outfit was wide leg jeans, a crop top and a flannel shirt over it. I also begged my mom for a chain wallet from Hot Topic, but wasn’t allowed…sigh.

Fast forward to college, my best friend introduced me to the modeling world and I was hooked! Oh, the high I got from going on a casting, walking down a runway, the make up, the clothes…I could go on! Long story short, I spent a good part of my Senior year of college in Guangzhou, China on a modeling contract and fell in love with the Fashion Industry. I’ve been involved ever since college, modeling off and on.

Fast forward to my life today. I am now a mother to two of the cutest boys you’ve ever seen! Noah is four and Zeller is 3. Yes, they are close in age. No, I didn’t plan it, but now, wouldn’t have it any other way. I work full time for a Direct Selling Cosmetic Company where I fly into Manhattan every Monday and work until Thursday, where I fly back home. It’s complicated, and I miss my husband, my boys, my friends, but we make it work. I LOVE the fashion in NYC. I am so inspired by it. My friend Becky, who has her own cooking blog and is totally AMAZING told me to go for my style blog and business! Check out www.thecookierookie.com later! I want to help others find out what they love, find their personal style, their passion, and how to look their best.

If you want a whole new style and wardrobe…let’s do it! I can take you shopping OR if you’re on a budget, I can re-work your closet. I promise, I won’t make you wear a chain wallet! If you just want to browse pictures on the blog for inspiration, please do!

I hope that when you leave Rally Rose Style House you feel inspired and beautiful.
