Style Crush: Nicole Richie

Remember a couple years ago, when hippie-chic style was all over the fashion scene? While the fad may have faded, one of the look's pioneers is still a major player in the style sphere: Nicole Richie. Richie's style came to prominence after her glamorous makeover courtesy of Rachel Zoe. Through the years, her looks have evolved. From modern bohemian to avant garde risk-taker, Richie has proven time and again that her ability to mix 'n match fashion pieces is matched by none other.

Here are a few of her recent looks I swoon for...
