The actress's filming schedule has been relatively light of late, leaving her plenty of time to dedicate to her side project of designing.
Despite only having one big-screen release on the 2014 calendar thus far, it's a big one - she will next appear in the highly-anticipated thriller How To Catch A Monster.
Written and directed by boyfriend Ryan Gosling and co-starring Christina Hendricks, Saoirse Ronan and Matt Smith, it's set for release in October.

Bringing in the big guns! The star also made sure to play nice by cosying up to the President and CEO of New York & Company, Greg Scott
