Nicole Richie 'has 30 Chanel handbags'

Nicole Richie has revealed that she has 30 Chanel handbags.

The reality TV star said that she loves experimenting with fashion and going "over the top" with her clothing accessories.

When asked how many Chanel bags she has, Richie replied to Lucky: "That's not a fair question! OK, 30, but I stole a lot of them from my mum!

"To me, fashion is about fun. I don't wear dainty jewellery. I like it to be a little over-the-top."

The 29-year-old added that she loves Alexander McQueen's designs but is also a fan of vintage fashion.

She explained: "Alexander McQueen scarves are the most perfect accessories ever, and my notepad - I'm a total Virgo, obsessed with making lists. I really believe you can't make a mistake with vintage. It's all in how you wear it."

Richie, who is married to Good Charlotte band member Joel Madden, also insisted that she has no plans to stop experimenting with the way she looks.

She said: "I've always experimented. I dyed my hair purple, and I dyed my hair green, and I went through a Punky Brewster phase, a preppy phase, a goth phase, a girly phase, a grunge phase. I'm sure my style won't stop here."
