Last night marked the unofficial start of awards season! Celebrities showed up in their best (and worst) at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. This year’s awards were full of laughs (thanks to co-hosts, SNL stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler), surprises (Jodie Foster‘s revealing acceptance speech; Jennifer Lawrence‘s Meryl Streep ’diss’) and awkward moments (J. Lo, P. Diddy and Ben Affleck in the same room together – yikes!). But aside from the awards and memorable moments, it’s really all about...  Read More..

Nicole Richie was once known for her boho-style, thanks to her former stylist Rachel Zoe. But thankfully that period is history! We love how she’s transitioned over the years into more of a contemporary fashionista, often dressing from her own fashion lines (Winter Kate and House of Harlow). And even though those lines feature some boho pieces, she pairs it with edgy items from other designers. This spring everyone else is into pastels or bright colors, so Nicole stood out dressed in all black leather at the NBC Universal summer press day in Pasadena, CA, where she was promoting her NBC...  Read More..

The success of Nicole Richie‘s jewelry and footwear line House of Harlow 1960 has been duly noted, and we can’t help obsessing over a few of the pieces, which all come in at affordable price points. The one at the top of our list is the House of Harlow 1960 Tribal Drop Earrings, available in two-toned shades of black and white. The 14K gold-plated earrings feature an enamel inlay that reminds us of both tribal and art deco-inspired looks. An accessible look for both day and night, we love seeing these paired with a silken jersey top under a ruched sleeve blazer, or a heavily sequined...  Read More..

Of all the celeb-designed lines, one we actually like is Nicole Richie‘s House of Harlow 1960. The jewelry line, which debuted first, was full of art-deco style, vintage, boho-chic pieces that were both pretty and reasonably priced. Recently, House of Harlow launched its footwear line – another hit with everything from chunky heels to comfy mocassins, alongside sunglasses. Next on the plate are House of Harlow handbags. It’s the logical next step for Richie’s successful brand. Reportedly, the House of Harlow 1960 handbag collection will consist of 40-50 handbag styles with a...  Read More..

While we refuse to ever wear a pair of Jessica Simpson’s shoes (we don’t care how darn cute they are – they’re still ’made’ by Jessica Simpson!) we’ll certainly step into some of Nicole Richie‘s shoes. Her jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960, had us swooning when it first debuted. Now, under the same label is a line of shoes set to debut this spring. If you love Richie’s boho-glam style, you’ll love this collection. The line has the same aesthetic as the jewelry line – an artsy, bohemian feel with geometric, tribal and art-deco...  Read More..

According to Women’s Wear Daily, Nicole Richie is set to launch her new contemporary women’s clothing line called Winter Kate, taking after her daughter Harlow’s two middle names. The 37-piece line, which will hit stores in February, will be available in Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Ron Herman, Intermix and Kitson. Richie said: “It feels as though I’ve always been working on this collection, but officially I started putting it together in early 2009. I’ve wanted to design a clothing collection for a very long time.” Her...  Read More..

It’s a woman’s worst nightmare to spot another woman wearing the same dress as you. But when you’re Alexander Wang, and all the girls want your dresses, it’s bound to happen. Rihanna and Paris Hilton both rocked the nude/blushy pink and black Alexander Wang Corset Dress over the past week – Rihanna while in New York City, leaving Kanye West‘s apartment and headed out to dinner and Paris for her taping of The Late Show with David Letterman. Here are the details of the dress: The stuff fetishes are made of, this two-tone strapless dress features a corset-style bodice...  Read More..

What’s coveted this Spring? Chunky jewelry. Especially statement-making necklaces a la Michelle Obama. But most of us aren’t attending presidential galas and throwing White House dinners everyday, so a too-chunky necklace can look out of place. But in the immortal words of Goldilocks, there’s a necklace that’s just right, and priced right. The House of Harlow Plated Resin Necklace ($135) is equal parts statement-making and everyday chic. The necklace is made of 14K plated gold with black resin geometric plates. Designed by Nicole Richie (yes, daughter of Lionel, on-again...  Read More..
