Line We Love :Winter Kate by Nicole Richie Spring 2010 Collection Preview

Nicole Richie released spring/summer 2010 look book images of her contemporary line, Winter Kate, on her official blog yesterday. According to her blog, the collection consists of approximately 40 pieces: dresses – long and short, blouses, tunics, vests, bed jackets, kimono tops and more structured jackets, in vintage silk crepe and vintage silk chiffon, some with fringe and handcrafted embroidery or cotton macramé details. The collection is inspired by timeless prints and shapes; beautiful paisley and florals that have been vintage washed and some have been over-dyed for that classic feel. The line also reflects Nicole’s love of vintage and classic. If you’re a fan of the line, the collection is slated to release in February 2010.

Shift Your Attitude

Simple shifts are popping up everywhere and on everyone, from Michelle Obama to Eva Mendes. I really like a shift as it's very versatile. You can dress it up or down, belt it, stack on a pretty statement necklace, wear it to work or a wedding, etc. It's the uber dress and a definite classic. Oh, and if you're wondering, Michelle Obama's shift was designed by Michael Kors. Lovely!

While I was out of town for work yesterday, I had time to kill between meetings so I wandered into a local thrift shop. I walked out with an adorable black shift and 70s inspired red woven belt for $6....total. Super score.

So, if you're feeling adventurous, check out your local thrift stores as you never know what you'll find. Shifts were big in the 50s and 60s as well as the late 90s, so there are definitely little treasures to be found in vintage and consignment shops.

But, if you prefer to buy your duds "fresh" here is a compilation of my current faves!

Happy Wednesday!
