Reformed party girl and Fashion Star judge, Nicole Richie arrived to her Ocean Drive Magazine cover party looking chic in a nude tone dress and Christian Louboutin “Clichy” heels.
Here are some of the pics from her Ocean Drive (digital) Magazine spread…
Nicole reflects on her roller coaster past and how she looks at it now:
“You have to remember that I was 20 years old. I don’t know anybody who can look back at who they were at 20 and say, ‘I’m the exact same person.’ It’s all about evolving and growing. Who we are in our 30s is obviously very different than who we are in our 20s…Also, keep in mind that my life didn’t start in shooting The Simple Life. For the public, obviously, that was the first time they saw me, but this,” she says, “has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. I have fond memories of that time. I was 20, 21 years old and I was doing a show with my best friend and we didn’t really have to do much. We were just being ourselves—and playing it up for the cameras, obviously—but the show was very safe for me to do, in the sense that cameras were never in my home. They were never shooting my family. It was more about stepping into other people’s realities, as opposed to the cameras coming into our realities,” says Ritchie.
Richie discusses how her fashion aspirations started long ago and what her collections mean:
“I’ve been getting ready for this since I was 16 years old. When I actually met with partners, (clothing manufacturers) Rick and Brian Cytrynbaum, and they asked for ideas, I said, ‘I have plenty!’ I had two huge folders of inspirations tears to show where I saw the line going, what I wanted to start with first, and where I wanted to take it eventually. This has been in my head for a very long time.” Her fashion lines is aimed at multitasking women who aren’t afraid to take fashion risks, but she insists, it will grow only at the pace she sets. “With Winter Kate, we started out so small,” she says. “It’s taken me four seasons even to expand into doing leathers, laser cuts, furs. I have goals for House of Harlow and for Winter Kate: Ultimately, this will be a lifestyle brand. I’m going to do home furnishings and flatware, everything. (But) right now my focus is my family, and everything comes second to that.”

I really love her, she’s so sure of herself and her style is impecable. Love this little feature!
Interesting to see how her style has evolved over the years.
I think it’s great to see how her style has evolved. Many of these ‘IT’ girls stay stuck in their self created style / persona ‘ruts’ , interesting that she has moved on and become chic – isn’t it amazing what true confidence in one’s self and ability can do!
