    Allie Paxton

    Allie recently graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara, where she received a degree in English and Art History. While she was away at school, Allie had the opportunity to study abroad in lovely Italy in a little Tuscan town called Siena. It was here where her love for fashion, coffee, and vino prospered and the rest is history. After saying goodbye to Santa Barbara Allie moved to Chico in order to pursue her Master of Business Administration so she can open her own winery one day. In her free time, Allie likes to obsess over fashion blogs, watch Disney movies, cook Italian food, decoupage, and hike.
