Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie is launching Winter Kate, her new contemporary women’s clothing line, reports Women’s Wear Daily.  The line, which takes her daughter Harlow’s two middle names, will hit stores beginning in February.  “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,” she said.  The line includes mostly tops, vests and bed jackets in colorful vintage-inspired silk, crepe and chiffon (mainstays in Richie’s own wardrobe) and will range from $35 wholesale for a camisole to as much as $598 for the leather pieces.  “Fashion should be accessible.  That was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960 and remains my philosophy for Winter Kate,” Richie said.

Davida Hall, with help from celebrity stylist Simone Harouche, has taken three celebrity looks: Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, and Avril Lavigne, and demonstrated how those of us with more modest budgets can achieve the great looks without the big pricetags. With Davida’s Shopflick Hall of Style, you’ll be ready to glam it up this summer with flair. All dresses pictured below are available through Shopflick.

The Christina Aguilera look is based on the classic American 1950’s pinup style, with eye-catching shoes, and form fitting dresses. This Mansfield by Stop Staring black halter dress features a slim fit, a halter tie, and cut-outs. Teamed with a pair of bright patent finish shoes and big sunglasses, the look is old school Hollywood at its best. $142.00

Nicole Richie’s style is slightly more bohemian. Now that she’s a mom, she wants to be comfortable for all the million tasks that bringing up a baby requires. This Candace Held “Vivian” green halter dress is made from vintage silk scarves. It features an empire waist and asymmetrical hem. $282.00

Avril Lavigne has more of a punk rock look, and she also has a very slim figure, meaning she can get away with volume and detail that might not work on a more curvaceous body. She can also wear dresses that are shorter than what many of us are comfortable with. But this look can be paired with black opaque tights to feel more covered up. This JL Marks Fringe Dress in bright pink is a great choice for the Avril Lavigne style. It is super short, with exaggerated fringe. Worn with a vintage 80s-look belt and black patent leather platform pumps, this is punk at its edgy-feminine peak. $270.00
