Nicole Richie said ‘I do’ to Joel Madden on Saturday, December 11th in a gorgeous Marchesa gown.  The tutu styled dress was like   walking on a voluminous cloud.  It was white with lovely lace in the bodice and sleeves.  She was a beautiful bride in peachy pink makeup and her hair in a sleek bun.  Most little girls dream of being ballerinas when they grow up, and Nicole decided to be one on her wedding day.  Her dress was avant garde, but conservative; no skin was revealed.  This dress was a heavenly dream come true.

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.
