The stats: Born in Salt Lake City; lived in Phoenix since junior high; current neighborhood is northwest Phoenix.

Why she loves Phoenix: The outdoors, bike riding, hiking, rock climbing … we get to enjoy our weather for about eight months out of the year!

After graduating from Arizona State University with a bachelor of arts in psychology and a minor in communication, Ashley LaRae earned a specialized degree in visual communication from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. She has since worked as a consultant and wardrobe stylist, touring with musicians such as Jay-Z, Kanye West and The Dream, as well as worked with professional athletes, designers, photographers and magazines for independent films, commercials, fashion shows and books. Services she provides to clients include everything from personal shopping and personal packing to wardrobe styling for artistic and commercial projects, editorial writing, costume designing, fashion workshops and public speaking. Combining her knowledge, skills, contacts and passion, LaRae created StylePHX, a website incorporating fashion, music, athletes, places, arts and events.
