POST-CHRISTMAS SHOPPER

Posted Dec 28 2009 @ 08:23 PM

Everyone's favorite former "Simple Life" star Nicole Richie was seen partaking in a little post-Christmas retail therapy with boyfriend Joel Madden on December 26, stopping at the James Perse store in Los Angeles for a few basics. For her day-after-Christmas ensemble, Nicole started with a classic blazer (like Zoa's Classic Cropped Blazer in Black) over a loose fitting tank (try Rough Roses' Hudson Racerback Tank in Grey/White) that exposed just a peek of her tummy and tattoo. For the second time in a row, Nic wore her favorite Paige Premium Denim Laurel Canyon Jeans in Beachwood, only this time, instead of pairing with Minnetonka Moccasins she wore pale pink ballet flats. Nicole then finished up her look with a pair of grey tinted Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, a cozy scarf (try Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's funky Fringe Scarf in Ivory/Black) and the same quilted box bag that she wore the other day. I definitely like this outfit better than the leopard print/floppy hat one she wore the other day - what do you think, readers? It sounds like, per Nicole's Twitter account, that she and her family had quite the Christmas Eve, as Nic Tweeted "Christmas Eve, a VERY big deal at our house. friends, family, presents, gotta start prepping NOW. Here we go...." I bet they all had a great time, given that this was little Sparrow's first Christmas!
