Nicole the giver

Posted Dec 18 2007 @ 02:46 PM

Nicole Richie was spotted on December 11 doing some holiday shopping with her mother at The Grove in West Hollywood on December 11, and must have worked up quite the appetite shopping at stores such as the baby department at Nordtstom and Baby Gap, as she enjoyed a meal with momma at Cheesecake Factory. She wore a typical "Nicole winter-time outfit", consisting of a black coat (check out Rails' Nia Tapered Jacket in Black) over a roomy white tee (like Rails' Kenna Long Sleeve Tee in Cream), with black leggings (Hudson Jeans' Skinny Leg Knit in Black are similar), Wayfarers and her black Birkin bag. It seems that the holiday season has brought out the inner Santa in Nicole, as she and soon-to-be babydaddy Joel Madden have donated 100 baby gifts to expectant mothers at the Los Angeles Free Clinic. Of the generous notion, Nicole said, "The looks on the women's faces were priceless. Some of them didn't even believe us [when they saw the gifts]. They thought we were joking." But the gifts were no joke! Ever since starting The Richie Madden Children's Foundation, it seems that Nicole has found a great way to give back to the community. Lone gone are late nights partying at the latest hotspots and now is the era of charity work and responsibility. While Nicole do you like better?
