Socialite and actress, Nicole Richie is still astounded by how popular her sunglasses are.  When she first came up with the concept, she had an idea that they would do well, but had no idea that this would become a success.  

Nicole, now a budding fashion designer has two lines; House of Harlow and Winter Kate. They have both been a hit with fashion fans and critics and she recently Nicole has discussed which pieces she thinks will do well this season.

"I would have to say the Carmen sunglasses from the House of Harlow 1960 collection. I am so pleased that the Chelsea sunglasses are so popular!" she gushed. "As for shoes, I love the gold Kali slipper shoe as they are so vibrant, and the Neelo jumpsuit from the Winter Kate range - it is super comfortable but chic," she says in an article in the Belfast Telegraph.

Nicole went on to discuss the inspirations behind her Spring/Summer 12 line. She thinks of her travels a lot when she is considering her new creations.

"It was inspired by my travels to the Souks of Marrakech, as well as Egypt," she told Company magazine. "The feminine qualities are juxtaposed with intricate woven details, saturated colours and hardware that bring the old world to the present day. For Fall/Winter 12, the collections are inspired by the '70s and gothic rock."

With the success of this venture, there may be other products on the horizon, but the public will just have to keep their eyes open to wait and see what's next.
