Nicole Richie is an interesting person in the entertainment world. She is not only an actress; she is also a television personality and a singer. With her impressive writing skills, she has released a novel in 2005 entitled “The Truth About Diamonds” which was well-received by book lovers. More than that, she invaded the fashion world with her admirable fashion design skills. In 2010, she won the “Entrepreneur of the Year” recognition for her House of Harlow 1960 brand at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. These days, Nicole obviously excelled in the field of fashion.

The multi-talented star looked stunning as she stepped out in West Hollywood yesterday. She was in town to promote her House of Harlow accessories line. To highlight the event, she donned a white sequined dress with red trimmings and shimmering heeled shoes. The socialite has shown her natural beauty and charm as she graced the House of Harlow pop-up shop at the Ron Robinson boutique inside the Fred Segal store.

The 30-year-old entrepreneur’s impressive style matched with the glamorous theme of the occasion. She sported her favorite smoky eye shadow makeup and finished it off with nude lipstick. She aptly accessorized with chunky bangles, a set of modish necklaces and on-trend hairstyle.

The pretty star seemed to enjoy the event as she was snapped beaming in front of friends and guests. According to Pop Sugar, the lovely fashionista cheerfully showed off her designs, which included oversize sunglasses, bold necklaces and sparkling cocktail rings.

Nicole also recently opens up on her fashion sense being a mother and fashion designer. She stated: “I’m still wearing five-inch heels. My fashion really hasn’t changed at all.”

When a brilliant stylist meets a fashion icon, you get a powerful collaboration that makes headlines.  Kate Bosworth and Hollywood’s stylist of the year, Cher Coulter, have been making heads turn on red carpets with their joint venture of effortless style.  Coulter speaks highly of Bosworth:

“She’s got this effortless approach to style, and never overdoes it.  She’s also fun and fashionable and willing to take risks. She’s simple, chic and always looks happy in what she’s wearing.”

Kate Bosworth is no stranger to the fashion world.  Although leading a busy life as an actress, she always makes time to mingle with fashion heavyweights.  This landed prominent gigs such as being dubbed as the Calvin Klein jeans model in 2008 and also a spokesperson for world-renowned American bag maker, Coach.  Here are some fashion tips from Bosworth for you:

In 2010, Bosworth  collaborated with friend/stylist Cher Coulter in creating JewelMint, “The ultimate source in affordable luxury”.  JewelMint has been featured in major publications and various media including Teen Vogue, In Style, In Touch Weekly and many more, and the brand keeps expanding.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE Magazine, Christina explained that she loves Vivienne Westwood’s unique blend of romantic and hard-edged themes in her designs. “I love that she literally dressed the Sex Pistols and has bustles and corsets and things that one would never expect a designer to be able to do all at once,” said Christina in the interview.

What’s first for Christina Hendricks as the new face of Vivienne Westwood jewelry? Well, she recently modeled pieces from Westwood’s new line of palladium baubles. The title of the collection is “Get a Life.” The collection features a number of pieces that range quite a bit in terms of the statements that they make. There is, for example, a pair of simple hoop earrings that feature tiny acorn charms. There is also a necklace that bears the same small charm as a pendant.

On the other hand, the collection features a large abstract heart pendant that is strung on a very thick chain. That’s not all. For the real rock princess, there is also a palladium tiara made out of leaves! Of course this tiara looks absolutely stunning when it has Christina’s scarlet locks woven through it.

We look forward to Christina’s next appearances in Westwood bling.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE Magazine, Lisa Gastineau said that, although many people have been unaware of her professional pursuits, she has actually been in the jewelry business for quite a while. Apparently her daughter Brittny has been involved in the business, in one way or another, since she was a young girl. “Brittny actually grew up in my stores, selling jewelry to herself in the mirrors,” Lisa explained in her interview with PEOPLE. She went on to say that “(j)ewelry was a natural extension of everything we’ve been doing together.” So how is the team splitting up the tasks of producing and selling a line of jewelry? Well, Lisa is still in charge of designing the pieces while Brittny focuses her efforts on marketing the collection.

The pieces in the Gastineau Glamor collection will be largely inspired by the various items that Lisa has collected over the years while traveling. In addition to bracelets and pendants, the collection will also include rings. Many of the designs will incorporate precious and semi-precious stones such as topaz, sapphires, and pearls. The items will range in price from $50 to $499. This collection is intended to be very wearable, unlike estate pieces that stay in safes only to make appearances at black tie affairs. “We try to create pieces that women will wear every day and not stick in a jewelry box,” said Lisa.

Sammi recently announced that she has launched her own collection of jewelry. The name of the collection is Sammi Sweetheart and it will be sold through RichRocks, an established jewelry brand that sells faux bling. The collection currently includes earrings, pendants, bracelets, bracelet sets, and one ring. All of the styles fit into a greyscale theme; there isn’t a touch of gold or the glint of a colored stone in sight. But this does not mean that there isn’t shine and sparkle. The collection features huge hoop earrings that are studded with faux diamonds and elastic bracelet sets that are made up of strands of crystal balls.

Of course, the collection also includes pieces that refer directly back to Sammi’s “Sweetheart” persona. Both of the pendants in the collection are heart shaped. There are also heart shaped stud earrings that feature pave stones. Much like the other pieces that are sold within the RichRocks brand, Sammi’s designs are affordably priced. Every piece in the collection is under $100 and some are as low as $15. In a recent interview, Sammi said, “It was very important for me to keep all of the pieces affordable for my fans so they can purchase more than one piece and add to the collection.” She also said that she has, “…created some great fun and flirty pieces to wear day into night.”

The 8.9 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last Friday have turned the world’s attention to the Asian nation.  This includes Hollywood’s A-listers like Lady Gaga.  The superstar has been known for her fascination with everything Japanese.  Come on, who would actually write something on a $4,000 Hermes bag?  Lady Gaga did, and the scripture was a message to her Japanese fans that said: “I love Little Monster, Tokyo love”.

Lady Gaga’s love for Japan is real, and how do we know? Check what she did to help the disaster-stricken country: she designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. The bracelet is adorned by Japanese and English writing “We Pray for Japan”, and also features her iconic Monster Claw.

Fans found out about her initiative via her Twitter account that said:

“I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. Buy It/Donate here and ALL proceeds will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters”

If you wanna help out, get the bracelet here for $5 per piece. Note: his item is available for pre-order and will ship on or around March 25, 2011. All items in your order will be held to ship on that date.

We say go Gaga!

Truthfully, we adored each ensemble for different reasons, and we’d have a difficult time choosing a favorite. Some standouts included Anne’s Lanvin tux, complete with sky-high sparkly platforms and her one of a kind, custom-designed Vivienne Westwood Couture creation. But even though Anne’s Oscar gowns all scored equally high on our style radar, she wore one single piece of jewelry that stole the show. For her red carpet arrival, the Oscar host made a grand entrance in a searing-hot red Valentino creation, with the Italian designer himself on her arm! And her best accessory wasn’t the genius designer, but her $10 million diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co. Keep reading for blindingly-blingy photos of the necklace, and to learn more about how Anne got her hands on such a rare piece!

The Tiffany Lucida Star necklace Anne wore for her arrival is rumored to pack over 94 carats – and that’s not including the accompanying earrings and ring the star wore to complete her red carpet Valentino look. Certainly, the jewelry is a total fantasy piece – and Anne even joked to Oprah the next day about the security guards she needed to protect the precious diamonds.

Of course, no fashionista worth her weight in shoes would spend that kind of cash on a necklace – but the look is easy to replicate for cheap! Costume jewelry with similar sparkle is abundant everywhere from department to discount stores, so we can all wear a similar look, sans armed guards!

Katy Perry will introduce the new Thomas Sabo collection for spring/summer 2011 called “Pop Now”, which is inspired by pop art, pop music, disco, neon and Andy Warhol. Perry is loving Pop Now:

“I’m excited to make things pop for THOMAS SABO. I’m such a fan of all things cute and collectible – I like the Charm Club the best because I get to make it my own.”

How could you not love these:

And of course as the brand ambassador, Katy Perry will be exclusively sponsored by Thomas Sabo jewelry and will have to be present at the brand’s events. Her next stop will be at Inhorgenta Trade Show in Munich, where she’ll rep the brand in the international trade show.

Every woman knows that the best gifts often come in small packages. Lindsay Lohan, who has certainly been having a difficult time recently — rehab, possible future jail time — has just learned that lesson anew. Last week the singer, actress, and fashion designer was presented with a heart-shaped pendant necklace. The necklace, which has been estimated to be worth $25,000 was given to Ms. Lohan by the jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad. In addition to being pals with Ms. Lohan, Mr. Mouawad is also known for being the designer behind House of Harlow. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the line, it is a collection from Nicole Richie.
The purpose of this necklace is reported to be a reward to Ms. Lohan for making it through rehab and a reminder to stay on the right path. Apparently the gift was well received as she has already been seen and photographed wearing the 10 carat diamond Rosette stunner.
Based on this recent gift and based on comments that Mr. Pascal has made to the press, there has been some speculation that he and Ms. Lohan might collaborate on some projects in 2011. A source that is close to both Mr. Pascal and Ms. Lohan intimated that the two do not, in fact, have any plans to work together professionally but that they are just dear friends.
The source also indicated that Mr. Pascal’s main objective in his relationship with Ms. Loahn is to make sure that she stays healthy and that she stays on the right path. Based on recent photographs of Ms. Lohan, she is looking happy and healthy now that she is out of rehab. Recent reports have indicated that she is excited about getting back to work on 6126, her clothing line. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the necklace does the trick and that the starlet has a happy and healthy 2011.
