At Jessica Simpson’s Spring 2011 jeanswear show last night, little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz gushed to us about her love of ’90s fashion (and proudly stole/still wears Jessica’s flower Doc Martens from the 9th grade) and her obsession with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O. It’s no surprise, then, that she’s recording an indie-folk album and working on a “boutiquey” clothing line of her own. PAPERMAG chatted with her about it all at the show.

Are you sticking around for any NYFW shows?
I am for a little bit, but I’m sticking around to write music this week.

Do you know the direction of the forthcoming record?
I do, I do. I see the light. But I’m definitely not spilling the beans just yet. It’s definitely a bit folky.

Way more folky than “Pieces of Me”?
It had that feel, but I’m really going for it this time!

Well, “LaLa” and “Outta My Head” were pretty major.
Well, I’m always a kooky person, so you’re not going to lose that. But for me, there’s an era of music that I miss and I wanna make that kind of music. The songs that we need to hear.

Like ’90s Alanis Morissette?
No! (laughs)

We miss those days!
I miss them, too. Are you kidding me? I wear my Doc Martens all the time and I never let them go! And my shiny maroon Airwalks. My best friend Lauren from elementary school — we both used to wear the JNCOS and the shiny maroon Airwalks and she’s in the show tonight. She works for my sister and my mom on the line.

It seems like all of your friends and family are involved in Jessica’s line.
That’s the feel of the whole overall line. I’m always stealing the shoes. And I have to say, they really did a great job with the denim — and I’m like a J Brand freak. Her jeans fit your butt cutely and they’re comfortable — you can wear them on an airplane. They fit your body right.

And what about your look tonight?
I’m wearing all Jessica. I’ve even got her bra on, her necklace. I mean, it’s my sister so it’s so much fun and her line is amazing.

Are you into doing any acting in the future?
Not at the moment. But I’m definitely one that if there’s something I love, I’d probably do it if it was a role that I connected with. It’s not a rush. But right now, my best friend Lauren and I are going to work on a clothing line, too. Small, cool boutique-y stuff.

Do you have a dream musical collab?
I have to say Gwen Stefani is the new Blondie so I’d wanna do it with her. Or Karen O. I would die. Oh my God, if I got to meet Karen O I would die. Oh my God! I’ve grown up loving her. I’d paint my face like her. She’s my all-time really.

Jessica Simpson is no stranger to the front row, but to show her own collection during New York Fashion Week, the blonde bombshell is saying “no” to the runway and to professional models! Instead, Jessica plans to host a private presentation to preview her spring 2011 apparel and accessories collection, and showcase her new denim line using 8 of her best friends as models.

Enlisting the likes of sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and close friend Cacee Cobb, Jessica will dress her nearest and dearest in her debut denim line as well as jewelry and apparel from her fall/holiday collection. The models will mingle with fashion editors and guests while brother-in-law Pete Wentz spins tunes.

The Chicago star made her comments in local Los Angeles newspaper, the Daily News, in an article about celebrity fitness.

She said: “I have lots of stairs at my house and my son [Bronx] is 33lb now, so I carry him up the stairs a lot.”

Simpson-Wentz also revealed that carrying her 20-month-old son around is not the only way that she keeps trim.

She said: “I definitely hit the gym. I’ll do 30 minutes when he’s down for a nap. I’ll do 30 minutes of cardio and I also like a class called Cardio Barre [aerobic-ballet workout].”

The 25-year-old singer-turned-actress, who has admitted to battling anorexia as a teenager, said that these days she tries to be sensible when it comes to losing weight.

She said: “I just like to feel healthy and live a nice lifestyle. I don’t like to tell myself I can’t have something, so if I want cake I’ll eat in moderation…

“I don’t not allow myself to have things, because then it’s all a mind-game.”

“Yes, I’m in the studio now,” She told OnTheRedCarpet.com. “I’m doing it quietly, taking my time, enjoying it. Because, really I’m at a great place in my life and my first priority is Bronx. It will be just what I want it to be, at the right time, when I’m ready for it.”

Speaking of her son Bronx, Simpson-Wentz says: “Bronx is amazing, he’s 20 months now and he’s just growing, and growing, and growing.” The young Wentz is also just starting to talk and Simpson-Wentz says, “It’s great to watch him learn.”As for the rest of the family, Simpson-Wentz recently told E!Online that she approves of her sister, Jessica Simpson, and her new boyfriend Eric Johnson. “Jessica is happy, so I am happy,” she said. The new couple recently celebrated Jessica Simpson’s 30th birthday together in Italy.

Check out the video interview with Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, carried out by reporter Rachel Smith at an the debut of jewelry designer Neil Lane’s new collection at Drai’s nightclub in Hollywood.

OMG! I can’t wait! <3

That’s what Ashlee Simpson-Wentz told me last night at Neil Lane’s bridal collection debut with Kay Jewelers in L.A.

And Eric’s already come along on a family trip. Although we saw lots of shots of just Jess and Eric during her 30th-birthday trip to Italy, it turns out Ash and her parents were there, too.

“I went to Italy with her…we had a wonderful time,” Ashlee told me. “It was a great time for the family to hang out.”

So does Ash approve of Jess’s new (and still married) man?

“Jessica is happy, so I am happy,” Ashlee offered.

Sounds like a yes!

Ash also said she’s loved spending time off from work with her son, Bronx, and that unlike Britney Spears, she’s not necessarily opposed to him following his parents’ showbiz footseps.

“Right now, It’s not something I think about,” she admitted. “I just want him to be himself. Whoever he wants to be, we will support.”

“She is happy, so we are all really happy,” Ashlee, 25, told UsMagazine.com at the Neil Lane/Kay Jewelers party at Drai’s Hollywood Thursday night.

“Her happiness is the most important thing to me,” continued Ashlee, who was part of the group that flew to Italy to celebrate Jessica’s 30th birthday earlier this month.

Ashlee says Jessica — who began dating her still-married guy about six weeks ago — isn’t talking about having kids of her own.

“She does love being an aunt though. She is a great aunt,” said Ashlee, who welcomed son Bronx Mowgli with husband Pete Wentz in November 2008. “Yesterday he was over at her house calling her ‘Jess’ [and then saying] ‘ica’ a few minutes later. It was really cute.”

Ashlee, on the other hand, “definitely” wants to expand her brood.

“We would love to have a big family,” she tells Us. As for how many kids she wants, she said, “You can never plan something like that.”

Bronx is growing up quickly. “Every day is like a milestone, I swear. It is the best thing,” said Ashlee. “I mean, being a mother, taking the time that I have taken off just to be with him has really been incredible. Every day he is learning something new and growing. It is fantastic. I feel very fortunate.”

How do they spend time together? “We paint. He loves the water hose outside. That is always exciting, especially because it is extremely hot outside right now. We write on the walls with chalkboard and chalk,” said Ashlee. “It is fun and it keeps you active because every day you’re thinking, ‘What are we going to do?’ Even if it’s just dancing in place. He is really cute. He is really becoming his own little man.”

Even though dad is in the band Fall Out Boy, Ashlee is the one who sings to him. “He knows mama’s voice because I sing for him all the time and we sing together,” she said. “He knows the Elmo song; he sings that in the car, which is really cute.”

His favorite music: “He loves Jay-Z. He says, ‘Jay-Z ma ma.’ So we do the ones without the swear words.”

Just because Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz don’t speak Spanish, doesn’t mean their 20-month-old son Bronx Mowgli can’t.

“He’s speaking some Spanish!” the Fall Out Boy father gushed to us at VH1′s Do Something Awards in Hollywood of the toddler’s recent milestones. “He’s started saying, ‘Sí.’ I always ask him stuff, and he’ll be like, ‘Sí.”

“I speak pretty bad Spanish but we have this fantastic nanny and she speaks Spanish to him,” Wentz explained. “I think it’s really important to be global.”

Meanwhile, Wentz also revealed he’s a freshly-minted fan of our favorite vampire series True Blood.

“Ashlee’s the one who got me into it,” Wentz said.

What’s the appeal?

For him, he simply says, “It’s a really great show.” But for Ashlee, he smiled, “maybe it’s because they have great looking guys.”

“Luckily, Ashlee was there with him to help,” a source explained to National Enquirer magazine. “She fished around in her purse and lent Pete some make-up. Right there at their table, Pete applied a coat of eye liner. They share everything, it’s so cute!”

Ashlee arranged for a cake to be delivered at the bar, and clapped as Pete blew out the candles on it. For his birthday, she bought him a Big Buck Safari video game, usually found in amusement arcades. Pete was thrilled with the gift, even taking to Twitter to discuss it.

“my house just got so much more bar on tour like! thanks to @ashsimpsonwentz for my bday. tho i have no interest in hunting anything in real life- this made my day (sic)!!!!” he wrote.
