Best of 2008

Nicole Richie's closet in 2008: so many great clothes and a great mix of designer pieces, affordable items from Urban Outfitters and vintage.
This year she has worn a lot of black and white, simple outfits jazzed up with funky scarves or eye-catching jewelry from her House of Harlow 1960 collection, '70s inspired outfits, boho dresses with flip flops or flat sandals, mini dresses with sky-high heels, denim cut off shorts paired with tunics.
I have been putting this list together since October and it feels so good to finally post it.
Let me know if you agree or disagree with my choices.

Very chic casual

Effortless cool

Little black dresses and the little black Dolce & Gabbana skirt

Nicole and Joel in Hawaii

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden spotted in Hawaii, having fun in the sun, on December 29.
Nic looked absolutely fantastic in her little red bikini.
She has worn the same green dress at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino back in July earlier this year.









UPDATE:
"Taking a break from the sun and the sand, Nicole Richie stays warmly wrapped as beau Joel Madden steers them through the water during a snorkeling trip Tuesday in Hawaii."

How cool is this?

I first saw these posted on the Style Bubble blog and I thought this was one of the most clever accessories that I have seen lately. They are from Posso the Spat at www.possothespat.com. For people like me who don't get to the big city that often, they are available on a couple of internet boutiques. They are not cheap, but if you're willing to spend a bit to have something unusual, these are really great!

Top 2008 Albums

I came up with 10 of my personal favorite albums of 2008. I thought long and hard (not really) and listened to a lot of music this year. These are in no particular order though Crystal Castles and Midnight Boom by the Kills were my most played.

To have a blog named after a White Stripes song I had to have Jack somewhere on my list. Luckily it wasn't hard because Consolers of the Lonely was a solid album. It had to grow on me but once it did I enjoyed it. Oh and they're Nashville boys now, just another reason to have them on the list.

I'll never forget listening to Evil Urges for the first time. My boyfriend and I didn't know it was MMJ's new album and were both like, "WOW, this band is great, who are these guys?...wait this kind of sounds like Jim James..." Duh.

I haven't seen Midnight Boom on any lists but I wore this album out. It's a fun album to listen to while your driving.

You & Me is a classic Walkmen album.
Modern Guilt has become my favorite Beck album of all time, I really like this album.

Because you've got to have some hip hop in your life, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III had to make my list.

My boyfriend told me that he's sick of me playing this album but I can't help it, it's fun. MGMT's Oracular Spectacular.

Dear Science made everyone's list this year but deserving so. I can't get enough of it.

Fleet Foxes is a great album and would probably sound even better on vinyl.

You will want to dance after listening to Crystal Castles. I wore out this album over the summer.

Okay so those were my top picks for 2008. I'm glad it's over, it really wasn't a great year and I'm ready to see what 2009 will bring.

Cheers.

Royal Mail

I adore the British. I think it's because I loved every bit of my British vacation in college. In any event, their new stamps are fantastic. I wish I could mail a letter with the tube map on my stamp.
