About Us

Hey all- I'm Alana and I'm a shopaholic :) I'm also a mom of two, a former high-school teacher, an Enneagram 2, and an advocate for mental health. I created Curated by Alana to help women of all shapes & sizes look beautiful, feel confident, and shop with ease.

Start Shopping

The Whole Story

Growing-up in Detroit, MI, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. After earning my degree at MSU, I accepted a teaching job teaching math in LA & drove across the country with my cat & dog. Nope I didn't have a place to live or a single friend out there- but I went for it anyway :) I ended-up meeting my husband a few months later & teaching secondary math for 6yrs before we relocated to Orange Co to start a family.

After becoming a mom, I realized I needed a break from teaching. As passionate as I was about educating & working with adolescents, I knew I couldn't be the mom I wanted to be while teaching full-time. So I left the classroom when my son was born & my family relocated to Denver, CO for my husband's job.

A few months after moving to Denver, I found myself wanting to do something for me. I love helping people, shopping, and fashion- so I merged the 3 together and founded Curated by Alana. I know life as a mom is crazy busy and you want to do it all while looking put together & feeling comfortable. That's where I come in...
