ONE DAY AT A TIME

Posted Mar 16 2009 @ 02:55 PM

The chicest mom on the block, Nicole Richie, paid a visit to the Eco Mom Event at a private residence in the Hollywood Hills with rocker boyfriend Joel Madden on March 12, toting some sort of DVD along with her for the evening. Always a fan of the maxi dress, Nicole chose a long, floral frock (try Karina Grimaldi's Beverly Hills Dress in Eggplant or Cake Couture's Palm Beach V Neck Tunic in White) to accentuate her ever-growing baby bump, and paired it with strappy sandals and a cobalt blue Balenciaga bag (try similar options from Carla Mancini, like the Wavy Top Bag with Braid Handle and Front Pocket in Cobalt, or the East West Shopper in Cobalt). Seems like Nicole had a bit of a jewelry overload, as the last time we saw her, she was making an appearance at Kitson to promote her jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960 - and wore practically every piece from the line. This time, Nicole was jewelry free. Much nicer - don't you think? It's no secret that Nicole's become a pro at dealing with the everpresent paparazzi, and she's telling Glamour Magazine how she copes with the cameramen when Harlow is around. Richie says, "I was with some friends and I saw a few photographers. I have a rule that we don't talk about that stuff in front of Harlow, so we just kept singing songs, which is why my mouth is open. But I was trying to distract her from seeing anyone." A cute method, but I don't think this will distract her forever. She continues, "I think you just take one day at a time." Very wise, Ms. Richie.
