NIC GETS MOTHERHOOD HONOR

Posted May 27 2008 @ 05:10 PM

Nicole Richie was spotted taking baby Harlow for a morning walk in Hollywood, CA on May 22, and seems to be gearing up for summer in her super-short denim cutoffs (I love the clean and sophisticated look of Joe's Jeans' Braided 5 Pocket Short in Berkley). For the rest of her look, Nicole paired a red floral printed tunic (like Cake Couture's Poppy Embroidered Tie Front Tunic in Print) with black Converse and vintage-inspired shades (knowing Nicole, they probably ARE vintage, but JeeVice Optics' Sexy Sunglasses in Cream Leo are pretty cute too). While we all know that Nicole has completely reformed her once crazy life after giving birth to Harlow, and now Babytalk Magazine is honoring Nicole with their "Golden Pacifier Award." Editor-in-Chief Lisa Moran said in a statement, "Honoring Nicole Richie with a Babytalk Golden Pacifier Award might come as a surprise to some, but we felt that she deserved some recognition for her turnaround since becoming a mom. She's grown up a lot since the arrival of little Harlow, and her creation of the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation has demonstrated her efforts to set a good example by shining a spotlight on important issues affecting today's families." I couldn't have said it better myself! It seems like the crazy wild-child partygirl that Nicole used to be is now completely a ghost of Hollywood past, and in her place a newly mature and family-oriented (yet still oober stylish) mother has emerged. Go Nicole!
