Nicole Richie for Blackbook Magazine

Nicole Richie for Blackbook Magazine

One of my personal style icons, Nicole Richie is on the cover of the new issue of Blackbook Magazine. Styled quite differently from her usual hippie chic look, like at the House of Harlow 1960 launch, Nicole Richie shows that her modern and funky side still exists. I love the use of very vibrant and bold colors, statement jewelry, and her bright pink lipstick. The shoot definitely looks a bit Lady Gaga inspired but Richie still pulls off the style very well.

Check out the rest of the pictures of Nicole Richie in Blackbook Magazine and let me know what you think of the shoot.

We all have items in our closets that have been around for ages and that we still love. This year, it’s time to turn those old pieces into something fresh and fun for your wardrobe.

By spending a significantly smaller amount and using your own creative skills, you can customize and personalize these items with new twists. With just a few small tips and tricks, you can turn those old favorites into something new.

In my latest post on Sparkle Shelf, How To Refresh and Renew Your Wardrobe, you’ll learn how a few simple and easy tips and tricks can re-create your closet.

Reader Poll : Content for 2009

Any frequent reader of this blog has probably noticed that it’s been inactive for a much longer than usual time period. I was on vacation which, due to weather conditions and flight cancellations, turned into being a much longer vacation than was intended. While I did have a computer with me the entire time, I did not have any access to the internet and was unable to update. I’m going to work on some much needed post this weekend but, since this is my first post of 2009 here at Logical Harmony, I figured that it would be a great time to ask for some input from the readers.

What would you like to see here in the next year? More fashion? More on make up? More tutorials? More about my personal style and make up looks? Anything and everything that you want to suggest – do it!

Unique Online Retailers

With the holiday season up, gift giving is just around the corner. Getting a start now can save you some stress and money right now, too. While hitting up stores to shop can lead to a fun day, don’t forget that you can easily find a lot of great items and decent prices at your fingertips. Here is a list of some of my favorite Unique Online Retailers on the web.

Plasticland

Plasticland : Full of all kinds of fun, fresh, and unique items, Plasticland has something for everyone. As stated on the site, the online boutique was created as “an alternative to the super trendy, cookie-cutter fashions found at the mall. Both of us being artists, we craved a much more unique selection of products that would allow us to express our own individual style.” It would be the perfect place to find something for your offbeat but trendy friend. Some of the brands carried are Rock Steady Clothing, Kenzie Girl, Seychelles, Lux de Ville, and BC Footwear.

The Giant Peach

The Giant Peach : Music and fashion seem to go hand in hand. Especially now days when many top selling recording artists have their own clothing lines. In it’s own words, “The Giant Peach was created as a means for independent labels (with an emphasis on hip hop) and artists to produce their own line of garments and distribute it to the masses”. Any kind of urban wear that you are looking for, you can find here. Some of the brands carried are Harajuku Lovers, Hello Kitty, Zoo York, Toms, Upper Playground, Tokidoki, Eden by Element, and Hysteric Glamour.

80s Purple

80s Purple : What I love most about 80s Purple is the wide range of brands and styles they carry. In their own words, “80s Purple is known for its large spectrum of clothing, accessories, and sunglasses for men and women”. Again, lots of urban wear, but mixed with a wide variety of other currently hot styles. Some of the brands carried are Puella, Obey, Disney Couture, Kidrobot, Diesel and Converse by John Varvatos.
