Nicole Richie Blog and Journals

So last week I decided that I am going to change my hair color to red. Its a HUGE step for me since I have been a red head for years. Unfortunately, my goal in being a red head was to be different but I think red hair is getting to common so Im gunna switch it up. What do you all think?

Last week I was featured on Avon.com as a "Beauty Expert" Which is pretty cool!

Today has been crazy, we finally finished up picking colors and naming them. We are including a whole lot more matte eyeshadows in this new line! I am pretty excited.

We are naming all of the colors things that are important to me, like names of our pets. We will then have a story that goes along with every color :)

What eyeshadow colors would you like to see in the new line? What lipgloss colors? 

Have you ever changed your hair color drastically?

We judge people on the arrangements of their features and their style. Care to tell me that you don't? Well, I would say that you might not judge your friends on their beauty, but you certainly pick up a magazine cover or check out a musician on stage and say "damn that girl looks awful in that outfit" or "wow what was she thinking wearing that much eyeshadow". This round of ScarletMadeline's Makeup Mastermind I wanted to look at hippie chic, Nicole Richie and Leighton Mester. Lets take a look ...

The Best Shopping in My Area...

For the average Recessionista, like myself, you can always find great buys that are sweet on both the eyes and wallet at your local mall. Chain stores like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 target an age range from 13 to 23, and even up! These stores are perfect for both trendy statement pieces or The Seven Style Staples every girl should have in her closet. (Read up on 'The SSS' later in this post!) Charlotte Russe is very affordable and their sales are such a steal you would think you were a criminal! While in all honesty, the pieces are a bit wear and tear, they still get the job done. But we all know with Fashion, one day you're in and the next you're out...so keep in mind this runs hand in hand with each trend. Some pieces can really only be worn a couple of times through the season before they are out, making room for a new trend. So if it's trend-wear, simple tanks, statement jewelry or a fun night-on-the-town 'fit for cheap...chain stores like Charlotte Russe & Forever 21 will be your go-to havens!

When on the hunt for something a bit more high-end, polished and sophistocated I find myself at Lord & Taylor. I've been a frequent shopper there since I was able to toddle my way through the racks of embelished onesies to the cafe where the girls of my family have shared lunch just about every other week for the last 16+ years. Great for shoes, jewelry, cosmetics and clothing...this is both a girl's Garden of Eden and worst nightmare! Pieces like your first pair of black patent leather round-toe heels, Perscriptives eyeliner or Rebecca Taylor cardigan can't be beat anywhere but Lord & Taylor. This would be my splurge store, for sure.

When I'm looking for something with a bit more stay and guaranteed quality to it, I shoot for a new branch boutique a town over called Wishlist. There are a couple of stores in Connecticut, as well as a webstore. It is really the best store for a little mix of everything. High-end brands, very trendy, age versatile, yet all safe under the brink between affordable and outrageous. I shoot for this store when I'm looking for something specific like a nice girly Free People sun dress, the perfect pair of Seven jeans or just a couple of Sugarlips ribbed tanks. It is my happy medium on my list of 'Where To Shop', as it is neither overly expensive nor a steal, but the perfect balance of affordable High-End inspired pieces.

For where I live, vintage at best would be found somewhere like Good Will. A couple of towns over is my favorite vintage jewelry, art & antique shop called The Perry/Matto Gallery on Washington in SoNo. I have the best rustic silver bow bracelet from there that is still a favorite of mine, although I bought it over a year ago!

My best bargains would have taken place at either Marshalls or Canal/Mulberry Street in the City. Cheap jewelry, bags and shoes...what could a girl love more? Bargaining with the shop owner is the best part of it, not only do you get a great deal but the rush of having control over what you feel is reasonable for your purchase.

The Seven Style Staples. These seven pieces are vital to a girl's wardrobe, especially if she is a budding fashionista with any hopes of success in the Fashion world.

1. LBD The Classic Little Black Dress is THE fool-proof staple of the seven. It is your go-to item when you find yourself in an 'Everything looks entirely horrid on me' kind of mood. When purchasing your LBD, don't just pick up the first one you see in your size. Make sure that it is the right length, fit, style, shape...the works. It must be not the perfect LBD but your perfect LBD. You need a dress that will enhance your best assets, as it is the outfit that should make you feel on top of the world saying All Eyes on Me! You should be able to dress it up, dress it down. Spice it up with a pop of color and wear any type of shoe or bag to showcase your personal flair. Remember, you can never have too many Little Black Dresses, so never feel guilty for buying multiples of this Style Staple.

2. Pearls Be it a single bracelet, set of large earrings, long strand or encrusted broach....if it's class you're striving for, you've got it. I consider pearls to be the best way to girl up your look with a nice sense of class. They can be worn long, over a plain navy v-neck tee or even layered bib-style over a bright strapless mini dress. Pearls are a great investment, so go for quality over price for this accessory.

3. Dependable Denim Like your LBD, your perfect pair of jeans should be a well-thought out purchase. The fit, the style, the wash, the design and stictching must flatter your shape as well as meet your comfort standards to be considered Dependable Denim. Seemingly like most of the Style Staples, you can never have a maximum in this category...only a minimum. Remember to have at least two to three pairs of jeans that are comfortable and flatter you well enough so you can throw them on with no self concious worries in mind.

4. A Neutral Trench At a medium length in idealy an ivory or off-white, a trenchcoat with a nice structure and fit to it will be perfect to throw over a party dress in weather conditions or even just for a day of shopping the streets in the City. It is a staple you may have never thought of, but will be very grateful for when you're searching through your closet for the right coat!

5. Peep-toe Pumps Girls will be girls, and will do it in heels. Every thought-out look can jump from casual to dressy with a pair of black peep-toe heels. Be it a flowy cream peasant top tucked into a pair of dark wash skinnies or a fun frock, these neutral shoes are a staple that will keep you on your toes! ;)

6. The Perfect Flattering Top Over a tee or a maxi dress, a cropped cardigan is a sensible and chic way to add polish and comfort to your look. A crisp white button down is also the most versatile. Wear tucked into jeans, with two buttons undone is a flirty yet classy way to embrace this staple to it's potential. Even a menswear style with a pair of gray slacks and nice heels will do the job.

7. Belt It! I feel one of the most flattering parts of a girl's body is her waist. A belt can be the perfect fix to an outfit missing that little something. Whether it's cinching the waist to accentuate your slim figure or even just to add a bit of punch to the style, a belt is a style that has become a staple of mine along with women everywhere. I like to match a black single row studded belt over a baby pink or sweetheart top to keep a nice balance between girly and edgy. Make it a thick belt, a thin belt, in brown, black or even orange...take this staple and adjust to make it fit your look!

leeActually I dress my own way, but there's still icons and role-models who I admire. They are all very different so I can mix different styles.

Even some of them are not giving the best examples sometimes, there is something about them...the way they dress or are.

And I think it's a good thing if you have many people to look up.

Do you have any role-models or style-icons? What do you think of mine?

 

XOXO

Hey folks!

This time I decided to bring you my icons, so I picked out some newest pictures. Take a peak and tell me what do you think!

Im obsessed by these leggings. Flower print and colour fits with her old-pink pumps...pretty vintage I think.

NYC backstage 92' shirt I've already seen on lookbook, kinda rad! And THE JACKET...god I love sequins..I think they fit on everything...well almost, hahahha.

In conclusion this outfit is cute, pretty much eye-catching and perfect for going out.

I seriously want this Minnie Mouse hoodie/dress...I bet I can call it like this. But hey who doesn't want this!!

Patricia's studded belt ROCKS! Bowler hat and vintage sunglasses are amazing together. In a strangely way everything suits...

God I l o v e this one! I like absolutely everything in this outfit. Shoes are amazing...stunning.

Skinny jeans are awesome..I especially like the colour. I think Cheap Monday makes this kinda style jeans...so everybody can buy them...and they're also way lot cheaper than originals. Blazer is a must in this season. This black one is perfect...and classic. Love this, I would totally wear it..everywhere!

First I have to say that I love Nicole's jewellery. I think they're from her line House Of Harlow 1960. I've already checked out the items and they're so rad!

Well I like this long dress and I'm actually planning to buy one for summer. Snake pattern bag is cute...enough big, but still small...hmm confusing hahah.

Ashlee, Ashlee, Ashlee...I like the colour of her hair...I remember when I had red hair...hahha, old times.

I heart high-wasted skirts and headbands right now...two favorite things.

Shoes are so eye-catching..very different in a good way. This outfit is good for long going outs...I mean perfect for going to a party or some event. Not too much...just right.

 

So they were my first 5 picks for you with comments.

What do you think, the outfits sucked or not? Do you have any icons or role-models?

Part 2 is coming soon!

XOXO

 

 

So I stumbled out of my apartment this evening hoping to get inspired by some Pete/Travie creations and this event turned out to be STAR-STUDDED. No joke! It was kind of a big deal, guys...

JOEL MADDEN - MADDEN: 'HARLOW IS GOING TO BE A ROCK STAR TOO'

Nicole Richie's Militant About Mom Duty

JOEL MADDEN - MADDEN TAKES ON PLANE PAPARAZZO

Rocker JOEL MADDEN recently launched into a mid-air brawl with a fellow jet passenger who tried to take photographs of his girlfriend NICOLE RICHIE and baby daughter HARLOW while they were asleep.
The Good Charlotte star turned protective and scared the intrusive stranger off when he felt his family's privacy was being invaded.
He tells People magazine, "There was this guy and his two teenage daughters wanted to take pictures of her. I was like, 'Hey, she's asleep now. Maybe when we get off the plane, you guys can take a picture.'
"The guy just stood up, turned around and started taking pictures of her, and I kind of got into it with him. I was like, 'I can't believe you're arguing with me. This is my newborn daughter and my girlfriend.'"

Nicole Richie & Joel Madden: 'We're So Blessed'

Wellz what do YOU think or feel on all of this?
Please leave a comment in the box below my text.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has had kind of a crazy year.  And I'm not just talking about the release of her album Bittersweet World.

In May, she married boyfriend Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, and then several weeks later announced she was expecting her first child with her new husband.  The suddenness of the wedding combined with the baby announcement had people screaming "SHOTGUN WEDDING!" (and abusing their right to quote a Panic[!] at the Disco song) and making some fairly viscious generalizations about the singer.

These are generalizations that Simpson-Wentz appears to have taken lightly and possibly into the realm of pure parody.  The pregnant singer celebrated her 24th birthday on Friday evening with a White Trash themed party.

Apparently the about-to-pop singer, who's due date is looming every closer, wore daisy duke shorts, a bikini top, platformed flip flops and topped the ensemble off with a fake tattoo on her baby bumped belly.  Her father Joe dolled himself up in a mullet wig and a muscle tee shirt, and sister Jessica Simpson got into the spirit with a tight, cleavage bearing leopard print dress.

A weird theme?  Yeah.  But as a guest confirmed, Ashlee's no stranger to going all out with party themes.  Last year her party had an 80's Prom theme, topped off with Ashlee and Pete being crowed the prom king and queen for the night.  And looking ridiculously adorable while doing so:

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM, the turntable star once engaged to Nicole Richie, are the only survivors of a late-night Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed the other four onboard.

I DONT KNOW HOW THEY GOT OUT ALIVE
