industries, Ronelle Ashby likes to have fun with her style. Ashby has a unique sense of style and an eclectic closet full of vintage clothing, wearable art and funky accessories.
'My style is
individualistic - I like to mix things from different eras and vintage things, plus things I find on my travels.' - Ronelle Ashby
VINTAGE FAN
'I always have a fan in every purse - they are great personal air conditioners. When I'm overseas, there is not always A/C, so I always carry one.'
AYALA BAR
NECKLACE
'I carry her jewelry in my gallery.
It takes a big personality to wear big jewelry. The craftsmanship is unusual and not something you see every day.'
ARTISAN
CUSTOM
EARRINGS
'I love big earrings, and these are the biggest I have. I've always been drawn to costume jewelry � the bigger the better.'
LUCITE HANDBAG
'This bag is sculptural and interesting - it's much more fun than a little beaded bag. My daughter, who owns a vintage clothing store, taught me the value of lucite handbags.'
GRANDE HANDBAG
'I love carrying this bag when I'm walking in a city. A cross-body bag allows you to have free arms and also keeps it more secured. I love the red-and-black colors on this tooled leather bag from Buenos Aires.'
VINTAGE
COCKTAIL HAT
'I wear cocktail hats for dressy occasions. They are adorable and I've always been a hat person since I was a child. I always wear hats when I want to be completely dressed with a completed ensemble.'
VINTAGE DRESS
'I got this in my daughter's vintage shop - it's a 1940s or 1950s era silk organza beauty. It's definitely not a type of dress you see too often anymore.'
COWBOY BOOTS
'Cowboy boots provide the most support. I can travel and walk in them all day. They also look smarter than a pair of gym shoes.'
