Before I get into the fashion part of this post, I would just like to say that Nicole Richie’s growth has been impressive. Let’s take a minute and think of the girl who was best friends with Paris Hilton. And now, this woman. Big difference. I’m glad to see she’s progressing. Good stuff.

Now, on to her new clothing line, Winter Kate.

This collection and Nicole have been everywhere. There was a feature of it in this month’s InStyle and she was on Letterman last week. Recently, she’s been in Canada and Paris launching Winter Kate (the middle names of her daughter, Harlow) and it’s been doing well. It’s very Nicole. I’m loving the leather jacket. Like the pieces? You can purchase them here.
