Nicole Richie debuted her new Winter Kate collection at Bloomingdale’s in the middle of fashion week. The Spring 2010 collection promises to be very Nicole: bohemian, retro and chic. And I just love how Nicole named both of her lines, House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate, after her daughter (Winter Kate are Harlow’s middle names).
Some of my faves from the clothing collection that are available right now are the
Winter Kate Grace Tunic in Chiffon
($143) and Winter Kate Lola Cardy ($209)—the jewel tone color is stunning.
As for House of Harlow 1960 jewelry, the Black Resin Stations Necklace ($145) is one of the most popular (Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton are big fans) and I especially love the Gold Abolone version ($150). I’m thinking of pre-ordering the Gold Crystal Feather Earrings ($75), too.
But what I’m super excited about is the House of Harlow 1960 footwear. Aren’t the Hudson Peep Toe Wedges ($225) to die for?
I get a lot of comments on Twitter every time I wear my Steve Madden Trinitie pumps
(I have them in black suede, navy suede and nude patent). So I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Steve Madden has put all the colors on sale to make way for the three new spring pastes: blue, yellow and lavender. I think need those lavender ones ASAP.

These Melissa Ashanti Booties
($120) are one of my fave items on the list. I really wish I had them to wear with all the rain we’re getting in Los Angeles this week!
Last weekend I went to Steve Madden to buy one pair of gray pumps. I left with four boxes of shoes.
What caused the mini shopping spree? Steve Madden’s Scratch & Shop Cards.
I was lucky enough to scratch my way to 40% off my entire purchase. They didn’t have the gray heels I wanted in my size so I instead used my serious discount on the Trinitie pump
($79.95-$99.95) in navy, black and blush and the Cielo wedge
($129.95).
When I checked out, I got yet another card (this one was 30% off), valid from 12/8-12/16. So I might just have to make another trip to Steve Madden to buy the pumps in more colors. They’re pretty comfortable for a 4½-inch heel and way less expensive than the Brian Atwood Maniac Pumps that celebrities can’t get enough of.
Don’t feel like going to the store? Steve Madden’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday 25% off + free shipping deal is still valid through December 7. Click the button below to start shopping and enter MADDEN25 at checkout.
Last year, there were a pair of the most beautiful gray marble YSL pumps under the Christmas tree. And they were for me! Unfortunately, they didn’t fit—nor did the size above or below. For nearly 365 days, I’ve been searching for an alternative but nothing is good enough. I don’t usually like to settle but I think it’s time. I have to go the mall tomorrow so I’m going to pop into Steve Madden to try on their gray suede pumps. If those aren’t comfortable, I’m thinking of ordering these Stuart Weitzman Platswoon
($298). But the practical part of me is pushing for the much cheaper rsvp Kaily
($83) pumps. They’re no YSLs but the purple platform is pretty cute.
Flats
I was excited about flats for fall, yet I still wear my heels on a daily basis. The only flats I love are my boots. If I was 5′9, I’d probably feel differently. But I need some height to wear the short dresses and skirts shown for spring.
