Drew Barrymore is seen here picking up an iced tea from her local Beverly Hills Starbucks. She is currently preparing for a role in Everybody s Fine alongside fellow A-listers Kate Beckinsale and Robert De Niro. Which is a good thing considering she and Justin Long have just ended their ridiculously happy year long almost engagement relationship. But Drew is smiles as usual and doesn t seem the least bit phased. And her look here is not one that is the result of a broken heart, as the hippy BoHo look is one that Drew enjoys and is seen quite frequently with. She is using her quirky little hat here to hide what I am guessing may be unwashed hair, but her natural waves are still pretty and flattering to her heart shaped face. This is a great look if you like to wear your hair down but don t have time for a wash one day as the hat masks the issue completely. Drew as always looks fab, but I can t help but wonder if she was perhaps born in the wrong era?
