Expectant mother Nicole Richie (who is happy to show off her firstborn baby girl Harlow Winter as much as she can) stepped out to run a few errands in town before continuing on for a quick shopping jaunt this weekend to peruse and pick up a few things at Barney’s New York in Beverly Hills, CA … she chose a figure hugging white outfit to show off how big her bump has gotten in recent weeks … behold:

Pregnant Nicole Richie looked effortlessly elegant as she showed off her growing baby bump in a flowing white dress. With her hair swept up in a classic bun and sporting a pair of over-sized shades the reality star looked every inch the fashionable mum-to-be. The 27-year-old star was spotted arriving at an office building on Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard clutching a drink from Starbucks. She later left the building and was driven away in a Silver Mercedes. The Simple Life star is expecting her second child with her longtime boyfriend, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden. Their one-year-old daughter Harlow was born in January last year and Nicole is thought to be expecting her next arrival around September. Nicole, who is the adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie, has been inspired by her second pregnancy to launch her own maternity fashion line. The busy mum has already launched her own jewellery line called The House of Harlow 1960, named after her daughter. Her collection, which launched in the U.S. last year features Art Deco-inspired designs in rock-chic black leather and gold.

OMG, Nicole looks great. It doesn’t seem like that long ago that she was pregs with Harlow and here were are on baby #2. Now that Alyson Hannigan has birthed her baby, Nicole can step in as the reigning cutest pregs celeb of the moment. It’s nice to see Nicole lookin’ all curvy again … she is such a small woman, the curves suit her well, I think. This is a bump watch that I am looking forward to following for the coming months.
