L to R: Drew Barrymore leaving a West Village photo studio in New York City, Jessica Alba at the Fall 2010 Dior Haute Couture fashion show in Paris
Don’t Drew Barrymore and Jessica Alba look adorable? I love the understated floral print of both the dresses (with emphasis on understated there!) and I love how both the celebrities paired it up with minimalist jewelry and a no-fuss, casual hairdo. It’s the perfect look for a brunch or a lunch date – ultra-feminine, effortless and totally doable.
I find both the looks so cute that I can’t even decide which one I like better. I’m totally digging the length and print of Drew Barrymore’s dress; it has a very vintage vibe to it. And topped with those retro pink sunglasses and red suede pumps and her outfit just pops! I la-la love it! And I’m still trying to figure out how that woman can wear red lipstick and still look so cute?!?! I mean it’s a RED lipstick; it even gives Emma Watson a grown-up glamorous touch! Of course, I’m saying it in a good way; I would LOVE to be able to wear red lipstick without looking too done up!
If you’re digging this look as much as I am, here’s how you can get a similar look for cheap ($100 or less per item!):
Oasis Japanese Ditsy pintuck dress, Nine West Escher Peep Toe Pumps, Forever21 Heart Variety Necklace, Steve Madden Oversized Round Animal Print with Braided Temple Sunglasses, Nordstrom Crystal Collection Single Strand Bracelet
Doesn’t the crocodile texture of these Nine West Escher peep toes look gorgeous against the Oasis floral dress!?! And those Steve Madden sunglasses are perfect to bring a pop of color to any outfit.
Coming to Jessica Alba, I love the summery chiffon fabric of her Christian Dior floral dress. I also like the way she paired the dress with that braided belt; it certainly gives her waist and bust more definition. And you guys have already read me raving about cat eye sunglasses, haven’t you?!?! Alba also paired her dress with a Christian Dior Minaudiere metal box clutch, Christian Dior Resort 2011 white open-toe Mary Jane pumps, and a House of Lavande Victorian silver cuff.
And now for all the women who don’t have Dior-friendly pockets, check out my very affordable finds, below.
ModCloth Somebody Remembers the Dress, Aldo GUTENBERG Peep Toe Pump, Esprit Women's 19279 Resin Sunglasses, Lauren by Ralph Lauren Earrings Goldtone Mixed Metal Hoop, Aldo VISSERING clutch, Forever21 Royal Filigree Bangle, Forever21 Serpent Chain Trim Bracelets
This dress from ModCloth is totally my style! I love the bustier top and tulle petticoat that peeps out of the dress. So cute! And the dress even comes with that detachable belt. Score! And talking about scoring, the cuff bracelet and bangles are from Forever 21, which, in my opinion, is like the best store for affordable costume jewelry. They have a ton of variety and most pieces are less than $10! Now, that’s a bargain!
So, what do you all think? Is this look worth the splurge, or would you go for the steal instead? And which celebrity’s look do you like better? Would love to hear your opinion, ladies!
And until next time then, stay stylish!

I loved both…Beauty in simplicity…
Really good!
I would go for either … but I would keep the length of the dress max till knees. Below that doesn’t go with me. But that ModCloth dress is a steal … Me want!
I have already surrendered my heart to Jessica, long back. And in this dress she looks absolutely fantabulous.! Splurja, I totally loved the way you described them in the first paragraph. So so much good..!! Ya, m totally a “shades” person and very much adore it when a female knows and chooses the most appropriate one for herself, in this case its a Barrymore girl.
Thank you Girl.
love both the styles that you have put together but first one is my favorite..those pink shades are so cool…don’t you just love F21..it has so many great styles at so affordable prices..i like mod cloth too but have never shopped from there..in fact mod cloth and Anthro are two of my favorite window shopping sites..thanks for the exercises..i am also using a wrist band now and with that along with the exercises should help
I love, love Drew’s look esp. the pairing with red pumps..I like the dress from ModCloth as I have a weakness for skirts with tulle petticoats..
i love Jessica Alba’s dress and that cuff bracelet is beautiful
I so want the modcloth dress…that’s so me
And seriously carrying off red lipstick is a big thing…i myself wonder when i can carry red!
Those floral dresses were so cute and nice!
Lovely finds u have
i adore alba’s look..
you’re quite a help
Both ladies are rocking florals like its nobody’s business but I love the retro look drew went for! Forever21 does have the best accessories. I love shopping their sales.
I live in Central India and its been raining incessantly at my place for the last 3 days. I actually walked to college in a pull-over yesterday, so I guess the weather is a little cold. But you know the Indian weather, right? I am sure it will get back to being all hot and sweaty in a few days
I love the sets you created honey! They seem really affordable alternatives! Just like you, I’m also at wits end in deciding which dress I like more but given my style, I guess the shorter dress would look better on me…what do you say?
Love the shoes you picked in both the sets. The white peeptoes are sexxaayy!
Great post! Love these looks!
