If you know me, you know my runway bag from House of Rehab is my baby. I wear it A LOT because it goes with almost everything in my closet. It’s pretty yet functional with the words “fashion made me do it” hand painted across the front (see my last post) , giving it both girly and streetwear appeal. I’ve been a fan of the brand who came up with the original design for years now, observing their versatile range of products from handbags to tees and sweatsuits, flannels, and more. Upon recently purchasing my second bag from them, I had to know more about the woman behind a brand that’s become one of my favorites!

Ashlee says, “House of Rehab is home to all the round-the-way girls like me. Growing up in Detroit, I remember reading fashion magazines and thinking: "This is cool; But where are the girls like me?" You know, the ones who know the art of mixing high and low, designer and discount to create a wonderfully sculpted masterpiece. Making something out of nothing for short. I'm a firm believer that style is not something you find in stores. Rather, it's a skill that you acquire by learning what works for Y O U. I'm all about developing individual style, being fearless with your fashion and serving up looks night and day! That's why in 2014, House of Rehab was created to share my world with my fellow fashion addicts.”
