STYLE ICON: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie has been all over the gossip mags and blogs recently with her thinner frame and newly purple hair, so I'm aware of the fact that she doesn't need anymore press.  However, I love this girl I think she is hilarious and incredibly chic so I thought I would give her a style shout-out regardless.

TREND ALERT: Oversized Coats

Whether it's an exaggerated lapel, dropped armhole, rounded shoulder or long/flared hem: the over-sized coat is the must have addition for fall.
