Shady lady!

In a new interview with Teen Vogue, shopaholic Nicole Richie admits to owning more than 200 pairs of sunglasses. "But in my defense," she laughs, "I make sunglasses, so I have to research-shop, and I own every pair I've ever designed."

According to the House of Harlow and Winter Kate designer, she views sunglasses as "fun masks to accessorize your face."

The 29-year-old fashionista -- who angered hubby Joel Madden when she spent $3,000 on pillows in March -- says her go-to outfit is jeans and a tee, "but you change the look with accessories. And by accessories, I mean sunglasses, head scarves, shoes and bed jackets."

Though she always looks put-together, Richie admits it's more about feeling good than keeping up with the trends.

"Comfort takes precedence for me," she explains, pointing to her heels as an example. "These are super-high, but because they have a built-in platform, they don't feel like it. I am not that girl who can do super-arched heels. All the shoes I design have a cushion and a platform."

    Who cares about Nicole Richie? What is she even famous for other than being married to a rock star?

    That's a little of obsessive if you asked me...All of them probably look the same too!!

    God only knows who the dolts are who actually buy this c r a p that these "stars" put their names on, especially in this economy. Why would you want to own anything made by a Nicole Ritchie, famous for nothing? Weird.

    Wow, why don't these self indulgent stars use their money for something good instead of wasting thousands on sunglasses, that for the most part- look exactly the same.

    What's the big deal? I own many pairs, and buy more all the time!

    I'm not wealthy and I still own many pairs of designer sunglasses. It's a special thing for me to buy them because I love sunglasses. She has money and that's her life. If that's what she likes than get as many as you want! As long as you also give in other areas and contribute to humanity.
