Nicole Richie is Colorful for Spring in 'Paper' Magazine! (Exclusive Pic)

Nicole Richie rocks her colorful lavender hair while holding bright pink flowers in this Paper magazine picture from the May 2014 issue, provided exclusively to JustJared.com.

Here’s what the 32-year-old fashion designer had to share with the mag:

On her daughter Harlow‘s vision: “Harlow’s interested in what I do, and I’m going to bring her in and show her. But more importantly I really respect her eye. Nobody knows kids better than an actual kid. So I’ll be using her eye when I move into kids’ apparel.

On adulthood: “My idea of being a grown-up was living behind a white picket fence and changing who you were �”getting a bob and wearing beige�”but I found freedom being myself…
being able to do it my way.”

On her daily routine: “I wake up around 5:30, before the rest of my family, and that’s my time alone. Then I spend some time tending to my garden.”
