About

Aly Walansky has been a fan of retail therapy since her days of training bras and acrylic press-ons. Now, her bras are (a little) more adult, her nails, a sexy au natural, but she's still style (and bargain) obsessed.

In an age where "recessionista" has replaced "fashionista", iVillage's resident shopping expert combs the stores and the sales, finding the best looks for less, great deals, and at-home spa-like beauty regimens to pass on to you!

Fashion-focused by trade, Aly is SheKnows.com's beauty and style editor, as well as the founder of the uber-popular blog, A Little Aly-Tude. Her work has appeared in magazines ranging from Inked to Hooters, and her beauty tips have been quoted in Relate Magazine, JuliB.com, and Beauty News NYC.  She brushes up on her skills by spending as much time as possible, well, shopping.

Together, with the iVillage Beauty & Style team,Aly will help rock out the frugal fashionista inside each of us one pair of shoes at a time. And if you have a fashion emergency or need some retail therapy, drop her a line any time at alywalansky@gmail.com!
