Nicole Richie

How does a native New Yorker master West Coast cool? Jane Keltner de Valle calls on L.A.'s first lady of style, Nicole Richie, for a crash course.

Nicole Richie's parfait black-and-gray tonal outfit paints the picture of a charming Parisian princess. The structure of her entire look, from the sleek lines of her jacket to the flair of her skirt and tightly tied back hair, is sassy yet sweet.

Last night Jane Keltner and I did a little pre-fashion week party hopping and did our best to play power couple (she brings the sass, I bring the class!). First stop was Macy's Bar III pop up shop to visit with our blogging buddies Rumi Neely and Jane Aldridge.

Nicole was recently spotted in L.A. performing a little song and dance for a children's party.

If you're lucky enough to be able to rock the bangs, here are some tips from NYC stylist Riccardo Maggiore for how to maintain your 'do at home:
