PARENTING TIPS

Nicole Richie was spotted with Joel Madden leaving a romantic dinner at Nobu in Malibu on September 1, shielding her sensitive eyes from the paparazzi's constant flashbulbs. Wearing a coat that looks like it either came from the clost of Mrs. Roper, Rachel Zoe or is Aladdin's Magic Carpet, Nicole kept the rest of her outfit fairly simple, pairing a black tank (like P.G.D. Style's Fancy Tank in Black) with dark skinnies (check out Desert Blue's Fire Element Jean in Cormick Dark Indigo) and black rubber flip flops. For a jacket that is still eye catching yet not so "out there," I suggest you check out Walter's Water Color Satin Coat in Blue. What are your thoughts on Nicole's stringy, fringy shawl- love it or hate it? Personally, Nicole is one of the few who can rock this, I think on anyone else it would look ridiculous! While we know that Nicole is friends with Ashlee Simpson (and probably gives the mom-to-be advice), it might interest some of you that Joel actually has discussed fatherhood with Ashlee's hubby, Pete Wentz! Pete says, "Joel gives me advice. (It's) been really awesome for me to go to another person my age." How cute... I smell future playdates in the works!
