My Faves: Ashley Brook Perryman

Purple Reign: Ashley discovered this Betsey Johnson “princess dress” on a trip to New York City. “Getting it into my bag for the plane ride home wasn’t easy.”

Shoe Shine: Ashley’s hooked on the vintage shoe clips she picked up for $12 in an antiques shop. “I didn’t even know such a thing existed, but I love them!”

Mama’s Girl: “Even as a busy single parent, my mom was great at making me feel extra special. Until I was five, we had a lot of matching outfits and styled our hair the same—totally ’80s and totally cute.”

Artist in Residence: “I’ve been painting since I was little, creating watercolor ‘happy trees’ along with Bob Ross. Today, I relax by putting on French music and getting out my paints.”

Purse Perfection: “My everyday bag is a turquoise one by Nine West that I got on a solo trip to L.A. I hired a limo driver to take me to Rodeo Drive and Fred Segal for the ultimate shopping experience.”

Charmed Life: “Two years ago, my nana took my sister and me to Paris—my favorite city in the world. She and my sister, Brittney, bought me this bracelet in Moulin Rouge.”

Essentials:

Closet Addiction: “I’d have to say watching tons of Sex and the City reruns. That show is hair, makeup, and wardrobe heaven.”

Signature Style: “Tiered, ruffled mini dresses with high heels. My look is girly with an edge.”

Favorite Designer: “Betsey Johnson. She’s over-the-top and all about fun—her clothes are so happy and bright.”

Makeup Tip: “Keep it simple! Cosmetics are meant to enhance, not mask, your natural beauty.”
