Ashlee and Pete went very matchy-matchy at Mist in Phoenix on Wednesday night with their all black outfits, sneakers and flat ironed hair. It's Pete's turn to play groupie while Ash is hitting up various cities around the country for her mini promo tour. We shared some of our interview with Ashlee and now we've got even more from Ash. In the final segment of the interview, Ashlee talks about her life outside of the music realm, discussing her favorite designers, makeup secrets and fitness tips. She also revealed that she still has to get thinking about her Valentine's Day gift for Pete. Luckily, it looks like they've got pretty similar taste so it shouldn't be too hard. Read the rest of the interview after the jump.
To see what else Ashlee had to say, just read more
PopSugar: We've watched you grow up — we watched you back in your reality days. What's it like for you to go back and watch that stuff? Is it something you regret? Is it something you would do again?
Ashlee Simpson: I wouldn't say it's something I would do again (laughs). Or I definitely wouldn't do a whole series again. But I definitely don't regret it. For me it's cool, because I can look back on that. It's when I got my record deal and everything. One day when I'm a grandma and have purple hair (laughs) I can show my grandchildren that... something like that is kinda cheesy but it's fun to think about.
PS: Who are some of your favorite designers?
AS: I love YSL — that's one of my favorites. And I like Miu Miu. I like Chloe and Marc Jacobs as well.
PS: Are you going to be going to Fashion Week?
AS: I think I'm going to be on the promo tour, but if I can make it out for a day then I definitely will go out for that.
PS: Who are some of your style icons?
AS: I love Debbie Harry — I think she's great. For me it's more about looking in certain magazines. I tear out sheets of everything I like... even random people. For me it's more about that instead of just one person's style.
PS: How would you describe your own personal style?
AS: I think that I always like something to be a little off, but on you know? Like I like to put a bright color... I definitely wear black a lot so I'm trying to experiment with brighter colors. In the day I'm very casual — I'm a tennis shoes kinda girl. But I think it's whatever I feel comfortable in that day. If I feel like getting dressed up that day then I'm going to get dressed up!
PS: What about all the hair color changes?
AS: You know, I think if my life didn't go the way it went I would have been a hair colorist (laughs).
PS: So it's just something fun for you?
AS: I love to do it. It's just fun, yeah. It's something you can always change. You get to kinda take on a new personality with a hair color.
PS: So did you just wake up the other day and say "I'm going to go red."
AS: Yeah... actually (laughs) I did it the other day, I was like "OK you know what I think I want red hair. I've never had red hair before!" So I just did it and I love it. I like it — it's different and I'm really enjoying it. It's fun to try out different colors.
PS: What is the one beauty or makeup product you use every day that you can't live without?
AS: La Mer I always use. And mascara — my Dior mascara. And my black eyeliner. I don't use much on my skin ever except La Mer and then I always like eyeliner and mascara.
PS: Any secrets to keeping such fabulous skin then since you're not putting anything on it?
AS: (laughs) I use these face wipes... you know as cheesy as this sounds I like the ProActiv face wipes. And La Mer face lotion.
PS: Any fun fitness tips you can give in avoiding the unhealthy pressures of Hollywood and always looking so fabulous?
AS: For me, whenever I do shows is always when I'm the most fit. I always stay active... I don't obsess a lot so I never have really had too much of a problem with it. It's eating in moderation... like not saying I can't have pizza, just eating it in moderation. Just don't eat the whole thing, right (laughs)?
PS: Another one of our readers would like to know what a typical day is like for you when you're not busy working?
AS: I always have to find something to do because I get bored really easily. So it really depends on the day and what I'm feeling that day. I like to do a bunch of different things. But if I'm not working I really like to see my friends... my girlfriends... hang out with them. I like going shopping, going to the record store... which I'm really sad about the Virgin store in LA. Watching movies at home is always good and I like to go to the movies a lot.
Molly: Any big Valentine's Day plans?
AS: Not yet, but I gotta get thinking. I gotta get something special!

So Bin Ich
She could always get him hairstraighteners, it looks like they share the same tools..
1What's up with the shoes?!?
2these two look like the boy-girl version of each other!
3I am so bored with the head to toe black. So boring.
4they look like sh*t.
5She always seems like such a sweet girl, and she does in this interview, too.
6These two are SO cute together. They are just adorable. They really look happy and that's nice to see.
7I think they are really cute together.
8Well, I think it would be hard for her to find the right present. Seems like Pete wears all her stuff. Maybe she will get him new makeup. Emo is so boring. But at least they look happy.
9i think that they are well suited for each other...it's good to see that he supports her while she's on her tour things too
i like her a lot better with this red heair though. it looks pretty nice compared to the garrish black that she had a while back.
10I really like them as a couple and LOVE her red.
11Her shoes are just WRONG. I'm over the all black Ashlee. It's time for a change.
12(throws up in mouth) Petes hair is disgusting, and ashlee your on about 14 minutes......
13
wtf?
14boring, uninspiring, bunch of wannabes.
15EWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
16I think they're wicked cute together...
17I feel like she's just having fun and enjoying whatever comes her way- doesnt care if it makes her some superstar... i just get that vibe from her
She looks loads better with that hair color. Makes me hate her a little less.
18I like them. They seem to be a cute and fun couple. I agree with the wannabe-comment, though.
19
"you can kinda take on a new personality with the haircolor"
20niiiiiiiiiice!
Looks like we got another morpher...move over Brad~
I was actually there and in person Ashlee is pretty close to flawless. (Trust me!) SIDBEBAR - As a Phoenix area resident I would be remiss if I didn't say the club is called MYST with a Y.
21Pete was cute when his hair wasn't so long and greasy. As for Ashlee, she looks great with red hair- much better than that goth black!
22Haha! They spelled the name of the club wrong.
I like the way Ashley looks in her new video. Especially of those shots of her with out any make up on. She looks so different and actually really GOOD!
23I am really starting to love her hair
24ewwwe! I just hate his hair like that!
25why isn't she embracing her feminine beauty? you are only young once, ashlee!! stand out! you're gorgeous!
26SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO MAKES THOSE SHOES
THEY'RE AWESOMEE. (the ones that ashlee is wearing)
27I'm not a fan, but those are really cute pictures. The fun vibe is there, and they're young, so who cares if it's crazy sneakers and matching black goth.
28why oh why are they in the same matching outfit!
29i love her sneakers. but cant stand the whole lack outfit of them together. its not cute
30They are so cute, I just want to pinch their cheeks!!!
31they look so matchy-matchy!
32cute!
They look ridiculous, but in a happy, cute way.
33i love her hair that color!
34She needs to find her own identity... and stick to it.
35they're so emo its disgusting
36why are people even interested in what she is doing? they look ridiculous.
37That nasty gay haircut is disgusting!!!! Gosh, this is the ugliest man I've ever seen, and yeah... he is a 30 year old man!
38Ack! Their shoes! So horrid!
39I think this style (punk?) suits her better than when she was blonde and dressing like her sis. She looks pretty either way, but it just seems like she likes to push boundaries and be different.
40Kindda matching shoes and greasy hair...
41I am def. against the matching outfits and shoes. She has totally changed to fit his style.. gross
42Emo? Whoever said that is a bit confused, I think.
I like Ashlee's music for the most part but in general I'm not such a fan of her! Pete is just disgusting in my opinion. Yuck.
