Nicole Richie Working On A Jewelry Line

Nicole Richie may be a new mom to little Harlow Winter but she isn't slowing down when it comes to new business ventures. Her newest endeavor is launching her own line of costume jewelry. She's working with an artist named Shelley Gibbs and jewelry maker Mouawad (the same company that produces Heidi Klum's jewelry line) and seems really happy with how easy the process has been and how flexible everyone has been in working with her new parental responsibilities.

Richie isn't stopping at jewelry, either. Stay tuned for her new fragrance and children's clothing line coming out soon too.

Heidi Klum Sued For Lack of Originality

Does Van Cleef and Arpels have sole rights to the quatrefoil shape? That seems to be their assertion, the esteemed jewelry company sued German supermodel Heidi Klum's company on Friday, saying that the vintage clover jewelry design she uses in her jewelry (shown in the earrings she is wearing at right) for her company and for Mouawad is copied from from Van Cleef's vintage Alhambra jewelry line. The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, seeks a relatively modest amount, just $25,000 in damages. It is true that Klum and Van Cleef and Arpels use the same shape in their designs but it's about as original as using a an open heart in jewelry.

Wall of Kiss Birkenstocks

We first mentioned Heidi Klum's collection from Birkenstock a couple of months ago when it seemed to be primarily available in Germany. The line is now hitting the US with some new spring styles, so expect to see them in stores this season. The pair pictured here are the limited edition Wall of Kiss Birkenstocks. The clogs are made of crushed suede and are adorned with Seal lyrics written in Heidi's hand. They are available in cream, black, blue, light brown and red, all with Birkenstock's signature footbed. Price: $225.

Mouawad Heidi Klum Collection

Heidi Klum may have her name on a line of Birkenstocks, but she isn't completely giving up glamour for hippie-chic. She also has a line of fine jewelry with Mouawad, inspired by a clover symbol that she first saw at the Duomo in Milan, which she found to be elegant and timeless - the perfect symbol for a line of jewelry. The Heidi Klum Collection includes earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets that all feature the signature clover pattern and range from simple sterling silver pieces to elaborate white gold and diamond creations. There is a full list of the stores that carry the line on Heidi's website.

Birkenstock by Heidi Klum

Birkenstock is not one of the shoe brands that is usually associated with supermodels, but Heidi Klum collaborated with the German company to come up with a surprisingly stylish line of sandals that are also, like all of the designs from the company, orthopedically correct. The collection features silver and gold leather sandals, strappy lace-ups and a number of shoes that bear a strong resemblance to Converse styles from several years ago. Her collection also includes more traditional designs, like the black and white Napa leather sandals ($275) with rivets and crystals pictured here.

Giant Plush for Klum's Kids

Heidi Klum and her husband Seal stopped in at Barney's New York in Los Angeles to pick up a gift for their children, Henry and Leni. The gift turned out to be a giant stuffed giraffe. Barneys doesn't sell their giraffe online, but it looks very similar to the Melissa & Doug stuffed giraffe and is a brand that the store has carried in the past. At nearly 5-feet tall, the super-soft plush is something that her young children can grow with for some time. Price $120.

Sunday Real Estate Round-Up

From the LA Times Hot Property:
• Seal and Heidi Klum have put their one-story Bel-Air estate on the market at $5.5 million. They purchased the nearly 2-acre property for about $4.3 million last year. You can find the listing for the beautiful contemporary home (shown) here.
• James Lesure, who stars on "Las Vegas" has bought and remodeled a $1.2 million home in Glendale.
• Sandy Gallin, the producer of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" and "Father of the Bride," and the former manager of Dolly Parton and other stars, has bought his 34th house to remodel. The latest project, in Beverly Hills cost him just under $7 million.
• Tawney Kitaen has bought two units next to each other in the Sierra Towers in West Hollywood for $4.2 million. Oddly enough, Kitaen previously owned the units but sold them a year ago for a total of $3.2 million to buy a house in the area. She then decided that she missed them so much she bought them back.
• Former Real World participant Tami Roman has listed her Chatsworth home at $1.75 million. The six-bedroom home has four fireplaces, a pool and spa. The listing is here.
