the faces of shop rapunzel’s: meet ashly!

shoprapunzels — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 17:00:13 +0000

At ShopRapunzel’s you will find a pretty store, pretty clothes, and even prettier faces. Our models bring life to our store and let you see each of our items displayed beautifully! Meet Ashly Simpson, one of the faces of Rapunzel’s that ties it all together to showcase our clothes for you!

I (laurie) was able to interview Ashly during our last photoshoot to get some juicy details about her life! Let’s get to know Ashly a little better…

Laurie: Why do you love modeling at ShopRapunzel’s?
Ashly: Modeling for Rapunzel’s has been and continues to be an amazing experience because I get to work with fantastic people as well as be the first to try on amazing clothes!

Laurie: What is the most valuable thing you have learned while modeling with us?
Ashly: I have learned so many things but the most valuable would be to not take myself and the little things in life too seriously. What we do is fun and exciting but at the end of the day we are just dealing with clothes, not saving lives.

Laurie: Who are some of your favorite designers? Why do you love them?
Ashly: I love Hudson Jeans, the Baby Boot Cut are my staple go-to item! I dress them up or down regularly. I also love Joie for their flowy tops, Splendid for tanks and T’s, and Fighting Eel for great dresses. I love how comfortable and versatile everything is!

Laurie: When you’re not modeling what can we find you doing?
Ashly: I have a company called Ashly Jo Jewelry that I spend most of my time right now working on. In my free time I love to read on my iPad, go to the beach, volunteer at a local elementary school, spend time with family and friends, learning new things, traveling, and watching reality TV (a few of my favorites are The Rachel Zoe Project and any of The Real Housewives).

We love our models at ShopRapunzel’s! Join our behind the scenes team and become a ShopRapunzel’s model! For more information contact Laurie at laurie@shoprapunzels.com or 561.659.5310!
