"Born and bred amongst elite Hollywood social circles, Nicole Richie is no stranger to stylish entertaining. And the TV star and multi-hyphenate considers her home in Laurel Canyon the ideal place for celebrations. &amp;quot;People are in and out of our house every day and night,&amp;quot; says Riche. &amp;quot;They come over, take off their shoes, listen to classic rock and eat good food.&amp;quot; Unique personal touches help to create the mood for any party, and some of Nicole&amp;#039;s favorites, including candles, rugs, flatwear, and holiday decorations, are available for purchase in an upcoming Joss &amp;amp;amp; Main sale event curated by the star. Nicole creates an easy atmosphere with rugs and blankets\u2014laying different rugs on the ground so that guests have room to sit, and keeping white Moroccan wedding blankets within reach in the event that outdoor gatherings get chilly. &amp;quot;I really love the relaxed vibe of friends sitting on the floor, D.L. &amp;amp;amp; Co. candles burning, and listening to music,&amp;quot; she says. Fittingly, Richie names D.L. &amp;amp;amp; Co. (as well as Diptyque) candles as an ideal hostess gift, but is also in favor of a decidedly less formal take. &amp;quot;Listen, I&amp;#039;ll take some cash!&amp;quot; says the star, whose unfiltered sense of humor is regularly on display in her AOL show, Candidly Nicole. One thing she&amp;#039;s serious about: A plethora of blooms. &amp;quot;Flowers are an important detail for me,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Eric Buterbaugh &amp;amp;amp; Botany do my flowers, and we have them on every table.&amp;quot; And we&amp;#039;re on board with her pre-party clean-up routine. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s nothing you can do about these kids&amp;#039; awful, neon toys nowadays,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;So I collect vintage trunks and put them anywhere in the house that I can. I let [the kids] run wild during the day and then throw everything into trunks at night.&amp;quot; Nicole&amp;#039;s eclectic Joss &amp;amp;amp; Main sale (featuring items seen below) launches on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 9 p.m. ET on JossandMain.com.
