ASHLEY
Occupation: Model
How would you describe your personal style?
I like trendy things, but I like to do my own original thing with them. So, I don’t wear them the same way that everybody else does.
Where do you get your style influences?
I live in Florida — on the beach — so, I would say beach style.
How did you decide what to wear today?
I knew that it was going to be sunny and warm, so I decided that I wanted to be comfortable. We’re also going to be walking around the museum, so I wanted to be able to walk around and do whatever I wanted — go shopping.
Is there something you’re wearing that you especially like?
I love my purse. It’s by Vera Wang. This is probably one of my favourite accessories. I have a lot of purses. I like this because I’ve literally put my jacket in here for later on, I put a fan in here if I get hot, I’ve put my shopping in here for the day… So, it’s large enough for me to be able to do whatever I want with it.
Is there anything you would never wear?
I’m not really too big on skinny jeans. I really don’t like leg warmers and leggings. I think basically the 80’s fashions that are coming back are absolutely disgusting.
What’s your current obsession?
Handbags and sunglasses. I love the big sunglasses. That’s probably the only thing that I actually like that came from the 80’s.
What are your interests?
I’m a beach girl. I like to surf. I really like to go tanning. I like to be in bathing suits as much as humanly possible. I love to shop, of course — typical girl thing. Museums — any kind of art. I write. I write novels. I love to read.
Do you do any online shopping?
I do some online shopping, but I prefer to try things on. I have longer legs and a shorter torso, so it’s kind of difficult for me to find things that fit online, because I normally wind up sending them back.
Anything else you want to mention?
I bought this scarf here today. One of the street vendors was selling it and I absolutely fell in love with it, so I had to buy it as soon as I saw it. I was like, “That’ll go perfect with my outfit!”
What do you want to do in the future?
I want to get into acting. We’re going to be moving to L.A. so that I can do the acting, movies, modeling, because it’s kind of the mecca for it.
