Statement necklaces are the easiest to style. It's one of my go to items to "throw on" to help bring any dull outfit to life.

Nicole Richie for Macy's

I looove Nicole's boho chic style and jewelry line, House of Harlow, so when I first heard about this, I was really excited to check it out! (Officially in stores and online now).

Overall, I enjoyed the collection and thought it really exuded her signature style. I wish they would have used a different background in these pictures though, it's really hard to tell what some of the pieces look like.

Well anyways, here are my favorites:

I don't think I'll actually buy anything but if I were to, it would the the leather sleeve top. 

Does anyone else plan on shopping her collection?
