Ashley Olsen, who turns 19 on June 13, has landed her first solo magazine cover – that is, minus sister Mary-Kate – thanks to July's Harper's Bazaar. Still, under the heading "Fashion's New 'It' Girl," both Ashley and her twin are applauded for their "dumpster dressing" and "bobo" (bohemian bourgeois) look. "I honestly don't know why we started dressing like that," Ashley tells Harper's, as previewed in USA Today. "We like wearing big, oversized things and it gets photographed. New York weather allows you to layer a lot." As for what inspires their style, Ashley says: "If you look at pictures of the two of us walking down the street, you know we're not trying to look like sex symbols ... Dressing up is all about fun. My idea of the highest compliment is 'adorable.'"
