Braving the rain, Nicole Richie headed out to take care of her daily errands in Hollywood, California on Wednesday (December 17).

Dressed for the unusually poor weather, the former "Simple Life" starlet was spotted jaywalking across the street as she toted her purchases back to the car.

Meanwhile, Nicole recently cleared up rumors about a non-existent upcoming album, telling press, “I’ve really been working hard - going on auditions for acting, doing designs for my line, and being a mom - so that pretty much takes up my days."

As for her jewelry line, House of Harlow, Nicole is oh-so-pumped-up, telling, “I’m really excited to be going full force into the world of design. It’s a lot of work, but I love it.”
