Fashion designer and TV personality Nicole Richie is known as a style trendsetter. For those who love her boho chic aesthetic but can't afford her upscale House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate fashion lines, hang on for a few more months: three sketches were released today of her more affordable Nicole Richie for Impulse limited-edition line for Macy's that will be available in stores this fall.

The collection of maxis, asymmetrical skirts, cropped tops and fitted jackets will range in price from $49 to $149. Starting in mid-September, you can shop the collection at 100 Macy's stores, including the Macy's at SouthPark mall.

“Macy's is the epitome of American fashion,” said Richie in a statement. “Their iconic stamp on the world of retail has not only touched the lives of consumers, but has also become a significant part of pop-culture. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work with Macy's and create a collection that channels the individual artist in all of us.”

Richie, wife of Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden and mother to their daughter, Harlow, and son, Sparrow, is now part of a group of well-known designers who have collaborated with Macy's for Impulse collections including Karl Lagerfeld, Alberta Ferretti and Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa.
