The Other Woman star debuted her trendy nose piercing in March of last year, favoring a simple yet elegant diamond accessory.

Her long legs were trim in faded blue jeans that she matched with a beige knit top in addition to the layering of long coat and scarf.

After all, Cameron and her 36-year-old rocker husband Benji Madden have been wed a year now and are beyond the newlywed stage.

'Cameron is increasingly happy in her life with Benji,' a source told People. 'She has settled in, settled down and wants to have a family. She is doing everything she can to enjoy this time in her life.'

The source added: 'She is feeling fulfilled and wants to be a mom.'

With her personal life on such stable ground, no wonder Cameron was in such a wonderful mood while leaving A.O.C.

Cameron exchanged vows with Benji - guitarist for alternative rock band Good Charlotte - in January 2015.

Another source revealed to People that their marriage has 'done wonders' for Cameron and has given her a different sense of perspective.

'She had a good run as a tough talking single sister, but like others of her age, she has mellowed and wants more out of life,' the source said.
