Always possessing a knack for the creative, San Francisco-based Graphic Designer and Blogger Molly Covert started out creating cruel break-up cards in the cutest way possible.

Coming from a heritage of artful creatives and businessmen, fashion and the entrepreneurial spirit have always been in Alison’s genes. Her background pulls from studies in the Fine Arts, dwelling in Paris and the California wine country, writing both as the lead singer of an indie rock band and for her graduate studies in Fashion Journalism from The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and work in gallery operations and interior design. Combining these interests came in the form of her creation of the blog Eclectic à la Mode, which she calls a “haven to bring these elements together… as a sourcebook in the style of tasteful variety for the visually, philosophically, and auditorily inspired.” Follow her blog at Eclectic à la Mode on Facebook and on Twitter.
