Nicole Richie Covers Flare Magazine!

We don't normally cover the happenings of our favorite fashion mags that hail from abroad, but the April edition of Flare Magazine is definitely worth sharing! Hollywood style star (and now, fashion designer) Nicole Richie is on the cover of the Canadian publication, looking purely luxurious in a decadent Roberto Cavalli sequin jacket--from the major Fall 2012 collection--and gladiator-esque skirt to match. The lovely spring issue of Flare is in stores now, so be sure to get your hands on it asap!

First Look: Nicole Richie For QVC!

Nicole Richie's highly anticipated line for QVC is almost here! "The Nicole Richie Collection" is set to be released on QVC's "The Buzz on the Red Carpet -- Live from L.A" show on February 24th (mark your calendars!), yet we've gotten our hands on an exclusive preview that should hopefully sustain our excitement until then!

The collection from the stylish starlet is just what we expected to see. It is purely bohemian with plenty of flowing chiffon dresses, hipster-cool jackets, Richie's signature style mark of hobo bags, and plenty of vintage-inspired prints--all ranging from $75 to just over $250.

"I want to connect with the women watching by letting them know that we are similar in many ways," Richie said of her line. "I'm a mother of two and I work. We all want to feel relaxed on the inside but stylish on the outside. And that's what I'm trying to provide."

What do you think of the Nicole Richie collection?

Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 Launches Handbags

Nicole Richie is expanding the House of Harlow 1960 empire with one of women’s best friends, handbags. The 14-piece collection will range in price from a red, hard-cased crocodile-printed clutch for $150 to a crocodile-printed clutch to $625 for a taupe and ivory burn-out pony hair hobo. These bags are full of fringe details, studs, velvet, jaguar hardware and ponyhair.

“Handbags have always been a part of the equation since we first launched the House of Harlow 1960 brand,” Richie said. “We just needed to make sure all of the components were aligned before setting foot into that category. The collection is quite small in terms of the styles we are launching with. I wanted to make sure that each piece is special and then be able to grow it slowly and organically season after season.”

“When I design, I always try to design pieces that are universal, meaning anyone can wear and carry it. At this stage of my design process, I really try to gather direct feedback from my customers, whether through in-store personal appearances, my Web site, Twitter or Facebook. It really helps me when they provide me with their desires, feedback and comments on what they are looking for, so I can try my best to cater to their needs, yet stay true to the brand’s identity,” Nicole said.
Keep an eye out for these beauties, the handbag collection will be available mid-July at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Shopbop.com.
