Style contributor Ashley Tyler was photographed by Trent Bell in her Biddeford studio. She stands before a wall made of salvaged barn wood found in a burn pile on her fiancé’s orchard in Limerick. Ashley wears a blouse by her own design, a henley tank top by Rambler’s Way, jeans by Levi’s, a belt by Tigger Leather, boots by Timberland, scarf by L.L.Bean, leather bracelet by A New Heirloom, and necklace by Creative Turtle. The ring, watch, and rhinestone leather bracelet Ashley wears are from Abacus.
