Nicole Richie is no stranger to looking stylish while pregnant! Not only did she look fabulous while expecting daughter Harlow, but she is still rocking her signature boho chic look while pregnant with baby number two on the way. And while Nicole has hinted in the past at expanding her design ventures from just her House of Harlow 1960 collection to clothing and specifically maternity, she took to her blog today to announce that she is designing maternity clothing for A Pea in the Pod and to show some behind the scenes shots from her shoot with star photographer James White. A Pea in the Pod tells PEOPLE that “A Pea in the Pod is excited about their partnership with Nicole Richie and the collection will be available in stores in early August.” We can’t wait to see what Nicole has designed!

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.

What happens when two of Hollywood’s hippest designers team up for a runway show? Last night’s House of Harlow, Clandestine Industries and Switch boutique runway show! Nicole Richie, who was modeling her own designs, added her House of Harlow 1960 pieces to feminine fashions from Switch boutique, telling PEOPLE that she picked based on “complimenting the outfit,” while Pete Wentz went for an individualized approach to his models. “[It's] just about streetwear so I let the guy pick. Whatever looked best on the individual.” Budding girl group Paradiso Girls opened the show with a quick performance and special guest spot by rapper Eve. With Wentz’s wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Richie’s partner Joel Madden watching on, the male models donned high top sneakers, T-shirts saying things like I (heart) BX, hoodies, and fedoras from Clandestine Industries. The ladies walked the runway in black mini skirts, back stretch pants with holes cut into them, heels with neon green soles and hot pink peep toe, jumpsuits with white lace lining and gold belts as accents to Nicole’s bold jewelry. Wentz thanked the audiences with “Thank you for checking out our lines,” just before rockers The Academy Is… closed the evening with a short performance. –reporting by Jessica Herndon

Nicole Richie may be expecting baby number two, but she’s not about to neglect her other love — her design line House of Harlow 1960! The designer took to her blog to write about her recent trip to Canada, which she kicked off with a signing at Holt Renfrew. Nicole explains that she relishes the chance to interact with the public, writing “I love doing signings because it’s really the only chance I have to come to face to face and thank everybody who has been supporting my line. What’s also really great about that is that I have the chance to get feedback about the line — what people’s favorite pieces are and I get to see firsthand what people are gravitating to the most.” And it’s not just about the jewelry — Nicole took the chance to tour the Majestic Mills plant where the rest of her clothing and accessories lines are coming together. “[I] had several other meetings throughout the day to begin shaping my clothing line, maternity line (details to come soon), as well as shoes and accessories. I was so excited to see the fabrics, the designs, and the first samples, as well as share our ideas for what the line will become…It marked the beginning of seeing my dream of a clothing and accessories line come to life” As if being a mom of two and designing multiple lines isn’t enough of a challenge, Nicole got the opportunity to co-pilot a plane. She blogs, “The pilot let me sit up front with him and play co-pilot. It was the most freeing, liberating, scary feeling I’ve ever had in my life. I had the best time…though I’m not sure about everybody else on the plane.” Stay tuned here for more details on Nicole’s lines as they become available.

Nicole Richie is proving that she’s her own best advertisement, as the starring model in her new House of Harlow 1960 Spring/Summer look book, which just debuted on ShopBop.com. Nicole’s hippie-chic jewelry company may have launched only months ago, but she tells the celeb-style retailer that her love of jewelry isn’t a new obsession, “When I was young, I made friendship bracelets for my friends,” she says. With its California-cool statement necklaces and oversized bangles as signature pieces, House of Harlow 1960 is a direct reflection of Nicole’s enviable style. And the line’s price points are even better — almost everything is under $100! Check out more photos of Nicole from the look book and shop the line at ShopBop.com.
