BEAUTIFUL AT BLOOMINGDALE'S

Posted Dec 13 2009 @ 10:51 AM

Nicole Richie made an appearance at the Bloomingdale's department store at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa yesterday, December 12, to promote the holiday collection of her successful jewelry line House of Harlow 1960, and debuted her freshly dyed darker locks. I personally love this look for Nicole - she looks so sophisticated and chic! Of the 'do, Nicole took to her Twitter and joked around that "P.S. I went brunette. I feel smarter already." Oh, Nicole - always the jokester! For her Bloomingdale's ensemble, Nicole chose a smart strapless winter white dress (try Shumaq's Emily Strapless Wool Dress in Beige, or check out Sue Wong's Ostrich Feather Short Dress in Ivory for an added dash of festive feathers) that she paired with metallic ivory peeptoe stilettos and the requisite House of Harlow 1960 jewelry. Nicole loaded up with bangles (to get a similar look, pair Jules Smith's Drop It Bangles 3MM in Yellow Gold with Jacquie Aiche's Silk and Chain Braided Wrap Bracelet in Cream, Grey, or Red) and an oversized gold cocktail ring. What do you think of Nicole's overall look here - jewelry and all? For me, NR's style just keeps getting better and better. It's nice to see Nicole promoting her jewelry line and giving her fans the opportunity to meet her, and Nicole made sure to Tweet as the day went on to keep her fans up to date. She started with "On my way to Bloomingdales @ South Coast Plaza. So excited to meet all of you!! Bring your cameras!! 12-2pm" and then posted another update after the appearance was over, saying, "Whew! That was fun. Thanks to everyone who came out today in this terrible weather to hang out with me! I wouldn’t have." Love her!
