Tell us a bit about ANTHOM — what's the mission behind it?
"ANTHOM is an international online boutique that specializes in carrying under-the-radar brands and independent designers from around the globe. Each of our items is specially curated to reflect our love of fashion, art, and design."

Front Row for ANTHOM jacket, Low Classic skirt, Modern Vice for ANTHOM boots.

J.Crew shirt and Saint Clair for ANTHOM necklace.

How did your partnership with Carla and Marshall come about?
"I've been close friends with Carla and Marshall since I met them nearly two years ago. We've always chatted about our love of unique, talented designers and our shared sense of style. So, with the beginning flicker of thoughts of ANTHOM, I ran to Carla and Marshall, and we formulated the idea of creating an online store that carries amazing pieces from talented unknown designers, accessible to our customers worldwide."

What has been your role in ANTHOM so far?
"We're building a business, so we've all been doing a lot of everything! Carla and I have spent most of our time scouting new designers, facilitating the buying process, and styling our photo shoots."

Samantha Pleet dress, Modern Vice Jett boots, and Young Frankk cuff bracelet.

What inspires you when you're looking for ANTHOM products and designers?
"I'm inspired by so many different things: A great story, super cool print, unusual hemline, or extravagant landscape. Inspiration comes in forms we can't always recognize, so I try to slow down and take a step back, to really find and understand the story behind a designer's collection."

We're still lusting after Turchin's incredible oxblood boots.

Turchin shows off one of ANTHOM's lustworthy necklaces, a collaboration with local designer Cameron Archer of Saint Clair.

Any pieces you've scooped for yourself out of the inventory?
"Oh my gosh, I'm literally obsessed with every single piece. If I could, I would have one of everything! They are all so special — from our exclusive blush pink Benni boot from Modern Vice, to our nude slim Chiyome bags, our exclusive Ten & Co oxfords, to our super cool Masha Reva + SNDCT sweatshirts."

Ksenia Schnaider dress, Silence & Noise jacket, Chiyome bag, and 80%20 boots.

Which pieces do you think will go over best?
"Anyone who wants something unique and special will find something they love at ANTHOM. Our Masha Reva sweatshirts are already wait-listed both in NYC and internationally."

What about specifically for D.C. shoppers?
"I'm sure women in D.C. will love our exclusive necklace collection from local designer Saint Clair. We also carry many versatile pieces that will appeal to the D.C. working woman —they can be styled more conservatively for a job on the Hill, or combined with our edgier items for a weekend or a night out."

Tell us a little about your own personal style — what's the signature Ashley look?
"I like to say it's classic with a wedge of edge."

Turchin has been modeling professionally since she was 15, and rounds out her already-busy schedule with informal and runway gigs.

Masha Reva sweatshirt, Jovonnista jeans, ANTHOM sandals, thrifted jacket and bag, and BDG beanie.

Any tips for managing stress, given how busy you are with a modeling career and a small-business lifestyle?
"Keep a very organized calendar and take it one day at a time!"

Besides ANTHOM, what are some of your favorite places to shop?
"I love mixing pieces from all over. Some of my favorite sites are Need Supply Co., Opening Ceremony, and ASOS."

What about local D.C. shops?
"Locally, I love to shop at Redeem, Hu's Wear, and Meeps."

Right back atcha! Rui Chen's quilted Forever 21 backpack is no joke.

Babycenter's Tina Sharkey's vivid Mulberry purse is too much eye candy to handle. We're seeing green here.

7x7 editor in chief Chloe Harris Frankeny rocks an all-black ensemble with a pretty snazzy focal point — dying for her Chanel purse.

Rebecca Wu with her structured Louis Vuitton beauty!

Feeling fringe-y? Frankee Palomo stops for a minute to show us her show-stopping bag, which she just so happened to design herself!

Another structured winner courtesy of Ana Bogdanovic. Her mustard-hued Bombata bag is where it's at!

Jennifer Margolin is in the clear — this Mnologie clutch leaves us speechless.

R29 intern Emma Neville keeps it classic with a sleek Madewell tote.

We can't stop staring at Sabrina Riddle's amazingly oversized carryall.

Aidan Pilgrim sports a delicate Chanel cross-body bag that we're fawning over!

Garrett Ienner and Nini Fabi of the band Haerts rock complementary blue hues.

Perfectly messy hair is the ideal setting for a lush flower crown from CULT GAIA. We loved this gal's cherry lips and tortoiseshell, cat-eye sunnies, and especially, those full brows!

Striped pants were a hot item of the day, but this festival-goer stood out in her monochromatic, fedora-topped ensemble.

How gorgeous is that orange eyeliner?!

Olivia Wolfe of Soho boutique American Two Shot wowed us with matching red lips, blazer, and pleated skirt. So chic.

Olivia, can we have your hair?

An off-duty model looks fierce in printed skinnies and lace-up boots.

Her minimal makeup was offset with a funky, fruit-print scarf.

This happy camper looks so effortless in a denim-on-denim number, with fun details like striped socks and a red paisley hair scarf.

Model and muse Irina Lazareanu reminded us that pigtails can still be done.

Glowing skin, relaxed pigtails, floppy hat — oh, models.

We couldn't get over this floral shirtdress, paired beautifully with neutral booties and an over-the-shoulder cargo jacket. And, of course, the omnipresent CULT GAIA flower crown!

These palm-tree printed pants are already pretty cute, but we're taking a styling tip from their owner, who brought them to the next level with vampy lips, flowing hair, and black Doc Martens.

D.C. DJ Cassidy Karakorn always impresses us with her signature statement lip and flowing black locks.

Black and red beauty!

BYT's Svetlana Legetic looking simply lovely in an artsy maxi-dress.

Leora Kadisha of StyledOn has legs for days in these black-and-white striped pants and fresh white kicks.

It's all about the details.

In a sea of denim cutoffs, we were drawn to this gal's slouchy gray slacks — so chill and understated.

Fresh-faced beauty-plus-flower crown was the look of the day.

John Thornley of U.S. Royalty and Mariah Dickinson do rock 'n' roll so well.

After spotting this look, we decided that the combo of an airy dress with tied-on chambray shirt, a pop of chartreuse, and Converse hightops is our new festival uniform.

Our photographer for the day, Kate Warren, kept it simple in a white tee with an embellished vest.

... but, her makeup was basically the coolest thing ever.

Sometimes a graphic tee and a bold lip is all you need.
