First, she ditched the look - swapping the It Girl scene for a more relaxed, boho chic - then came House of Harlow, her jewellery line boasting fabulous oversize rings and chunky bangles, and now, may you ask? Well, Miss Richie plans to add not only shoes to the HofH range, but launch a womenswear line, too.

After much success, Victoria Beckham's A/W 2009/10 collection is set to hit Selfridges, Harrods and Net-a-Porter this week.
When she revealed the collection to key press in New York last season, it seemed that Victoria was the only person surprised by the overwhelming positive response. As Nicole Phelps put it, 'these dresses look so well-made, so of-the-moment yet also timeless that they do the talking for her'.
'For A/W ’09, I wanted to explore new design elements such as peplum bustles and strong shoulder details as well as a variety of dress lengths,' Victoria said after the presentation. 'It's about defining signatures like interior corsetry or the exposed zipper. These clothes are for the woman who dresses up and pays attention to every detail.'
The last collection completely sold out in only one day so if you want a dress from the collection, be fast to avoid disappointment.

Naomi and I have long said Roksanda Ilincic's brand is the British Rodarte, so we couldn't be more excited that the designer has inked a deal with Whistles for autumn/winter 2009. She'll design seven cocktail dresses, retailing for £175 to £300, available in Whistles stores, plus Harrods, Selfridges and Brown Thomas from early September.
"I have long been a huge fan of Roksanda, and to have her design such an exquisite collection of dresses for Whistles has been a unique opportunity," Whistles CEO Jane Shepherdson told Vogue UK. "We have worked closely at every stage of the design process with Roksanda to capture her unique sense of play and contrast in colour, fabric and texture. It would be hard not to fall in love with the resulting collection."
