Sartorial Compass: Drew Barrymore & the Holiday's

Unfortunately for Drew there have been many a momentous Sunday in the month of December.  The 2nd Sunday I spent at the Empire State Building & the airport, the 3rd at the Nienhuis family Christmas party (at which I got to mingle with 8 of the coolest kiddos ever) and the 4th Sunday celebrating the birth of baby Jesus. Luckily for all of you I am going to basically throw all of the rest of my favorite Drew B looks into the last Sartorial Compass of the year!

A queen of casual cool, she's one of the women I look to for the best of casual dressing.

 The leather jacket + white dress is so great, and the chambray shirt + skirt will forever be an outfit inspiration to me.  But her white and purple tucker top paired with that stunning chunky necklace is what led me to my love affair!  I <3 Tucker and I'm not afraid to say it.

These are all such beautiful classic looks.  The black and white Narciso Rodriguez dress in the center is fantastic!!

The black dress and arms full of bangles is a fave look!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these looks.  The dress on the left she scored at a vintage store, the center she wore to a Chanel event (being not the biggest fan of all things Chanel I love that she can still show her style while wearing the classic brand) and lastly a shocking lil number that I adore.

I've gotta run, but I hope you enjoyed all of these pictures at once, I desperately need a new Drew rom-com in my life, and can't wait to see what 2012 will bring for her! 

Sartorial Compass: Drew Barrymore, Bold & Beautiful

I know it's not Sunday but I couldn't resist posting this edition of Sartorial compass.  A few of my favorite Drew Barrymore looks happen when solids and color blocking are on the brain.  Bright hues and bold design is the name of the game in the looks below.

 Jil Sander - Truly gorgeous and one of her best all time looks by far.

She shows how much of a chameleon she is going from totally classic in the purple sheath, and then jazzing it up in shocking orange.  Bonus photos below are from bold photo shoot that she did with Neiman Marcus this year...

Sartorial Compass: Drew Barrymore, Grey Gardens

I have always been a fan of Drew Barrymore (at least ever since Fever Pitch), but I re-fell in love with her when I saw Grey Gardens, the HBO movie about Jackie Kennedy's Aunt and Cousin, Big Edie & Little Edie.  If you haven't seen the film yet I highly recommend it.  It tells the story of their once glamorous life that due to paranoia of the outside world, became one of seclusion and squalor.  Pictured below are Drew and Jessica Lange in character.

During her promotional duties and award show appearances Drew got in touch with her retro glamour side and absolutely stunned on red carpets.

 In Alberta Ferretti for a New York premiere.

 Andrew Gn for Los Angeles, such a great 60's vibe on this look.

She was nominated for an Emmy, and won the Golden Globe and SAG awards for Grey Gardens and absolutely stunned on the red carpets.

In line with tradition she presented the Golden Globe the following year, this dress was far from being well received by critics, but I thought the details were beautiful and unique.  

It seems that Drew took a cue from her character, and dared to be different.  The Holiday's are the perfect time for that, so don't be afraid to take a risk and get a little bit glamorous this year.
