    Ashley Thompson opened Owl€™s Lab in New York City right after moving from a sunny beach in California. And it shows. "Owl's Lab is known for playing into the style trends from both coasts," Ashley explained during my tour of her packed racks and shelves. "I would say that's one of my distinguishing qualities as a buyer, being from the West Coast, but being influenced by my life on the East Coast. I blend the two into the Owl's Lab wardrobe." Stylehive interns Abby and Emily had a great afternoon trying on the latest Owl's Lab outfits and accessories last week. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for 10 amazing oufits they put together with Ashley's help, and read on for our interview with Ashley and her fashion forecasts for summer and fall.

Accessories like a straw fedora and wooden heart earrings complete the outfit. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for my favorite ways to get the prepster-hipster look!
