Nicole Miller is a woman after our own hearts—we absolutely adore her eponymous, easy-to-wear label, have taken notes from her uber-successful career and business, and have literally brought in photos of her cute, sharp bob to our hairdressers for a copy-cat 'do. Nicole's ageless look and style is the kind of uncomplicated steez we really love to explore—so pardon us for digging a little bit into her beauty routine and philosophy to help us get on that path, ourselves. Below, our mini Q&A with the mega-babe in anticipation of her color-punched spring '12 collection (stay tuned over Fashion Week for the big reveal!).
