McAloon was born and raised in Redondo Beach, a neighborhood just outside of Los Angeles. She attended South Torrance High and was on the Student Council, French Club, and several other highly important bodies of legislature. It was probably during her high school years that she perfected her trademark walk: something of a strut which incorporates a bounce and shimmy. Her gait has none of the hallmarks of a catwalk model's gait but, instead, more closely resembles an inner-city bee-bopper's style of ambulation.
After taking some time off to travel, McAloon premiered a new show, "
Find Your Style ". With the motto "Anyone can be a designer," she teaches homeowners how to redesign their own rooms based on four elements of style that they choose. On "Find Your Style ", McAloon works with Emily Hastings, Joe Macaluso, and Mikel Hubbard (main producer). She is an extensive traveler and spent nearly two years traveling throughoutAustralia ,Southeast Asia ,India ,China andNepal .References
