Since launching her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry collection last year, Nicole Richie‘s designs have turned up on many of her famous friends, including Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian. The Indian- and African-inspired pieces were so popular that stores started selling out as soon as her pieces hit the shelves. Now, Nicole is gearing up for her second House of Harlow 1960 collection, which will extend to clothing and shoes. Despite the success of her first line, Nicole tells Singer22.com that her new collection is “going to be a totally different line.” While the first one was inspired by her personal vintage jewelry collection and her travels to flea markets around the world, Nicole says the next one “is focusing more on old English, equestrian and more sophisticated looks.” As for her shoe and clothing lines, Nicole is still in the design process. “I’ve been working really hard on designing and picking the right fabrics for my Spring 2010 line,” she says. We can’t wait to see what this fashionista has in store for us. Read more of the interview and shop Nicole’s current line at Singer22.com.

Brooke Shields on Lash-Lengthening with Latisse

Since Latisse’s star-studded launch a couple months ago, Brooke Shields has been an enthusiastic spokesperson for prescription-only lash-growing serum. And the actress sat down with PEOPLE.com to talk a little more about her role with the brand. “I destroyed my own eyelashes while performing on Broadway because I had to use fakes — after awhile that takes a toll,” she says. Brooke took part in a fourteen-week trial of the product, which interrupts lashes’ natural growth cycle, consistently applying two drops of LATISSE solution on her lash line each night. “I am beyond excited with my new eyelashes,” she says. “Now my new eyelashes are so noticeable I don’t even need to wear mascara. I love it.” And while the results are impressive, they don’t come cheap, with a one-month supply costing $120 and ongoing use required to keep lashes from returning to their natural length. But it’s all worth it according the actress. “My husband notices everything on me,” Shields tells PEOPLE.com. “And when I was looking straight ahead, he said, ‘Wow, your lashes are longer! That’s amazing!’” Click here to learn more about Latisse. Then tell us: Would you try a prescription lash serum to lengthen your lashes? – Linda Marx
