{shelter me from the storm}

A few weeks ago, misplaced tickets to an art show and, in searching for them, discovered an enormous amount of magazines all over the place. Since then, have been searching for a contractor to build custom shelving to help keep things organized, but until then, shall have to dream up creative ways to keep the magazines from taking over our place . . .

. . . love the idea of using stacks of them for a bench or low shelf, made extra chic with a beautiful, rough wood plank

{p.s.} more storage ideas for past issues

Nicole at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children

"In October, Nicole and Joel traveled across Australia as Joel toured with his band, Good Charlotte. While in Western Australia, Nicole visited the oncology unit at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children. On the day of her visit, 14 year old Stephen (pictured in the center photo) — a huge Good Charlotte fan — received word from his doctor that his blood cell count was too low to attend the concert that evening and risk an infection. Instead, Nicole invited Stephen to join her backstage, where they watched the concert together and Stephen met the band after the show."

Nicole at Richie-Madden Children's Foundation event

The couple Richie-Madden hosted a surprise baby shower on December 3 for 100 expectant and new moms at the Los Angeles Free Clinic in Hollywood, where they handed out more than $200,000 worth of gifts. "The looks on their faces were priceless," Nicole told reporters after the shower.
Wearing a long dress, simple but chic with a black leather jacket and a Chanel cuff, mom-to-be looks wonderful.

I've been trying to come up with an arrangement for our new chest of drawers and have not been having the easiest time of it for some reason. Here are a few ideas I've been looking at for inspiration . . .

Nicole's BMI

Nicole Richie
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 6st 4lb
BMI: 17 - underweight
In the past, Nicole attributed her weight loss to the pressures of fame, as well as plenty of exercise, adding: 'I have days where I'm up at 4.30 and still filming at 11pm - I'll squeeze in a workout when I have time, but I don't do cardio - I don't need to, I'm too thin. And I eat what ever I feel like - sandwiches, whatever.' Nicole confirmed in early August that she was four months pregnant, which has already helped her to gain some much-needed weight and look far healthier.
