Lust of the Week: House of Harlow Resin Necklace

via Chickdowntown, $125


Nicole Richie is a woman that I secretly admire. Just a little bit. She is proof that people can change for the better and that a leopard really can change its spots. Does anyone still remember her back in The Simple Life days with BFF Paris Hilton? The chubbier body, the tacky magenta streaks and garish makeup, and an attitude to match. While Paris continues on "keeping it classy", Nicole has moved on to keeping it real - as in real life mother, designer, and fashion icon.

Thanks to friends like super-stylist Rachel Zoe, Nicole transformed her image from party girl to fashion guru with her very own successful design line, House of Harlow, and a happily settled life with her rocker guy and children. House of Harlow echoes Nicole's own bohemian and vintage style with its geometric cut jewellery. This particular black resin and gold plated necklace is a classic piece from the collection. I am lusting over how classic and yet edgy this piece is. You could style this with anything and any style. Go corporate with a power blazer, or beach girl chic with a peasant top. Wear this at night with a sexy LBD, or during the day with a PWT (plain white tee). Nicole designs with life in mind, and this gorgeous necklace is proof of that aesthetic. Bravo Nicole!

I've been very impressed with House of Harlow. She has an amazing design for costume jewellery. And I prefer her over Paris

i've always thought the House of Harlow stuff was cute but I haven't touched any of the pieces in person and am a bit wary the material/weight isn't what I would hope it to be. I guess I won't know until I try. i do like this beautiful necklace.

i also have serious Nicole hair envy.
