Nicole Richie is launching a new clothing line that will showcase her bohemian chic style.  The line is called Winter Kate, and will debut in spring 2010 in Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue to name a few. 

Ms. Richie is adding to her growing fashion empire which already includes an accessories line, and a maternity collection for A Pea in the Pod.  Richie has made our Rollcall list this week, but her debut on our list came last summer when she launched her maternity collection. 

Winter Kate is a 37-piece collection that will be a staple of tops, vests and bed jackets because that’s more aligned with Nicole Richie’s personal style.  Her line will also incude slips and maxi dresses, among other various dress styles. 

“Fashion should be accessible,” Richie said, and her prices reflect that strategy.  Her items are priced from $35 for a camisole to $110 for a long dress.  The leather pieces can go for as much as $598.  The mother of two, Harlow and Sparrow, has been very busy, and she shows no sign of slowing down.

Okay, I’m extremely partial to these sunglasses from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s collaboration with Linda Farrow.  It is part of the dynamic duo’s successful clothing line, The Row.  They’re apparently branching off into accessories (other than their jewelry line), and have opted to start with eyewear.  Before you start rejoicing, these shades will set you back between $325 – $390.  The one question I have is, how well will these pricey sunglasses fair in this economy when the consumer’s discretionery spending is down?  Both the Olsens and Linda Farrow are betting that their targeted demographic will not tighten their purse strings.  We”ll see.  I guess the follow-up question would be, are bags and shoes far behind for The Row?

Nicole Richie has collaborated with A Pea in the Pod to design a new maternity fashion line.  She is the mother of 19 month old Harlow and has her second child on the way, and this gives her insight into what expectant mothers want to wear.   Nicole has managed to make motherhood appear chic, glamorous and effortless, and that is some feat.  It isn’t easy to balance a career and motherhood, but from all outward appearances, Ms. Richie has found her stride.  Click here for a preview of her collection; it will be in stores on Friday.  We have selected her maternity line, and the woman/entrepreneur herself for our Rollcall list this week.  Ms. Richie may have made an even bigger accomplishment, she’s lulled many of us into thinking we can have it all.  The only question now, is when?
