Grab your favorite maxidress and put that hair into a top-knot bun, because it's Nicole Richie's birthday.

The mom of two and wife of Joel Madden turns 31 today! And despite all her successes (from Fashion Star to her first fragrance line, Nicole), she told DuJour magazine she still feels like she still has "a lot to learn."

"I don't ever want to get to a place where I feel like I've conquered everything and I have nothing else to do," she added.

What's really important to the fashionista is taking care of Harlow, 4, and Sparrow, 3. "It's important to me that they have stability," she said. "I like them to be home."

Also wishing Richie a very happy birthday? Her hubby Joel Madden:

"Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife and baby moms @nicolerichie," he tweeted this morning.

Aww, we think the Richie-Madden home would be a great place to be, too. Happy Birthday, Nicole!
