You’ve got to love Nicole Richie for changing her party-girl ways to not only seemingly kick her bad habits to the curb, but also to become a mother of 2 adorable children, as well as a successful jewelry and maternity clothes designer. What’s next for Nicole? Why a clothing line, of course! And unlike other celeb lines, this one actually makes a lot of sense to me. Nicole’s style, an unmistakable mix of hippie chic and LA cool, is loved by many. The girl definitely has style. And if you think that hers can be attributed to having lots of money, just take a look at Nicole’s ex-bff Paris Hilton. She has money too! Does she have style?

The 37-piece collection, called Winter Kate, will hit high-end retailers beginning February 2010, and, according to WWD, will be inspired by Nicole’s “favorite animals, including peacocks and other birds. The line includes mostly tops, vests and bed jackets in colorful vintage-inspired silk, crepe and chiffon because these tops are a mainstay of Richie’s own wardrobe.”

I have high hopes for Winter Kate so far. Do you?
