Looking to change your signature scent? Another starlet is throwing her hat into the ring of celebrity perfumers: Nicole Richie. The former reality star and current designer is following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and a host of others, launching her own perfume in the near future.

“[Richie] has a wide breadth of creative talents being an author, a jewelry designer, a fashion designer and an aspirational figure,” TPR Holdings president Brian Robinson told WWD. Having 2.3 million Twitter followers helps her credibility in the style world, too. “They look favorably on her,” he added. “She’s done a great job with her image.”

Though very few details were revealed, Robinson, whose company holds the license for Richie’s upcoming scent, said the fragrance and packaging will reflect Richie’s “very distinct image,” and fans can expect a scent that will be “cool, classy and edgy.”

New season, new look! Nicole Richie took a few inches off her hair this week, debuting the new style at a party in Los Angeles.

“I felt like I wanted to take a little length off,” she told InStyle.com Tuesday. So how does she style the new do? “When I get out of the shower, I twist my hair and put it up,” she explained. “I let the roots air dry, then I take it down after a few hours. It creates a nice wave.”

The California blonde went brunette in 2009, changing back to golden locks in 2010 and chopping her hair later that year. Tell us: What do you think of Richie’s cut?

Celebs have always looked to French label Isabel Marant for a boho take on casual dressing — hits from the past include ankle wrap “Gava” pumps and go-with-everything suede booties — but this week, the stars can’t get enough of the brand’s tribal-print separates!

On Sunday, Cheryl Cole paired $425 printed corduroy “Silo” skinnies with a cropped boucle jacket for a stylish jaunt through LAX. The next day, mama-to-be Hilary Duff topped the brand’s $1,170 georgette dress with a sculpted blazer for a visit to Good Morning America. Later that same day, Nicole Richie sported a pair of $660 “Renell” jeans with gladiator booties and all-black basics while out in L.A.

We’re thinking about adding some tribal prints to our wardrobe, but are a little sticker shy. Tell us: What do you think of stars’ new Marant tribal trend?

Charlotte Ronson didn’t have to look far to find inspiration for her new beauty line. To introduce Charlotte Ronson Beauty — coming exclusively to Sephora this fall — the designer hosted an intimate dinner at Il Sole in Los Angeles Tuesday night with friends and family, some of whom are muses for the line.

“I’m always inspired by friends and family, that’s how you learn and these are the women in my day to day so it just made sense to name products after them,” Ronson told PEOPLE of friends including Nicole Richie, Rashida Jones and sister Samantha Ronson, all of whom inspired products.

The line, which features cosmetics, accessories and haircare, was a natural fit for the accomplished designer. “[Sephora] did beauty for my runway shows for the past couple of seasons and we connected and had the same vision,” Ronson said. “It has the feel of being based on a fashion brand.”

She promised us purses, and purses she created. Nicole Richie officially unveiled the House of Harlow 1960 handbag collection today, and the options are plentiful — and pretty! Based on the line’s Bohemian vibe, the collection includes croc clutches, leather carry-alls and everything in between. According to a release, the concept behind the line was juxtaposing casual and luxury, combining relaxed vintage leathers with materials like young calf hair. Hardware also played a big role in the design; gold and black triangle studs frame some of the bigger bags, and jaguar heads close clutches. “I wanted to make sure that each piece is special and then be able to grow it slowly and organically season after season,” Richie told WWD of the new collection. “I always try to design pieces that are universal, meaning anyone can wear and carry it.” The bags, available at high-end department and specialty stores beginning in mid-July, will range in price from $150 to $625. Tell us: Will you carry a House of Harlow 1960 handbag?

Stars Talk Summer Fashion Faves At I Heart Ronson Soiree

When designer Charlotte Ronson created her latest I Heart Ronson for JCPenney collection, she wanted it to reflect warm-weather fun. “The inspiration for this line is summer picnic,” she told PEOPLE at a Svedka-sponsored bash celebrating the latest attire. “Summer florals, ginghams and maxi dresses, those kind of free-flowing styles you can wear from day to night. That is my philosophy for everything I design.” The line’s versatility was a big hit with stars like Nicole Richie, Ashlee Simpson and Jordana Brewster, who all came out to The Roosevelt Hotel’s Spare Room in support of Ronson. “You can pair [the dresses] with some flip flops and wear them during the day or dress them up at night with a pair of wedges and a fancy bag,” said Brewster. “They are seamless.” Being that it was June 21, the first day of summer, talk turned to this season’s fashion favorites. For a Ronson-clad Paris Hilton, that includes “definitely a bikini, pretty sandals, big hats and big sunglasses. I love Hervé Léger bikinis and Jimmy Choo sandals.” Sister Nicky Hilton prefers “Paige cut-off shorts, a cute top, rompers, gladiator sandals and wedges,” she told PEOPLE. Maybe with some I Heart Ronson thrown in, for a walk through the city streets? “I’m from New York and that’s where I know Charlotte from,” she said. “It’s a very New York cool downtown vibe.” –Michelle Ward
