Big bird.

Statement jewelry just had its bar raised with the launch of this stunning cuff from Nicole Richie’s House of Harlow 1960 collection. It’s a drastic departure from the delicate bangles I tend to wear, but one that’s got me all aflutter.

Nicole Richie for bebe Sunburst Bangle, $29.99

We here at Chic Thrills cannot get enough of Nicole Richie’s chic, affordable jewelry in her House of Harlow collection. We were thrilled when we first heard she was designing for bebe (limited-edition designer pieces usually go for a LOT less than items in their original collection), and even more thrilled when we learned of the pieces going on sale this week. With all the vintage charm of her original House of Harlow pieces, bebe’s line embodies her signature hippie style, with price tags we can’t argue with. Our top pick is the Sunburst Bangle, marked down from $64.00 to $29.99.

We’ve mentioned in the past how much we love Nicole Richie’s House of Harlow line, and we’ve decided to give it one last shout-out before we go back to privately worshipping Nicole’s incredible sense of personal style. She’s one of the few celebs who shuts it down every single time we see her, without ever looking overly styled. Jealous? Us? Why, yes. We are.

Her House of Harlow collection has allowed us to steal pieces of her signature look with affordable accessories we’ve grown to deeply love. My personal favorite is this necklace I broke down and bought earlier this week. Its chain is super long at 38″, and the pendant itself is slightly oversized at 1.75″. In short, it’s a sassy twist on your traditional locket. And because it’s a style staple, the necklace is a wise purchase for anyone in love with the simplicity and sweetness of lockets.

Sorry “Simple Life” haters, what I’m about to say might offend you but… I love Nicole Richie. Sure, she’s had a few mishaps in her life and career, but there’s no doubting her unbelievable sense of style and witty appeal. In 2008, Richie launched the jewelry line, House of Harlow (named after her first-born Harlow), comprised of 60’s/70’s style pieces ranging from the afforable $12.50 to the more expensive $200.

In addition to a new member of the Richie family, Sparrow, Nicole has also released a few new pieces to her collection including a nice set of stackable rings for only $12.50.
