Some ballet style lace-up flats finished off the laid-back look.

Accessories included a smooth-finish grey leather shoulder bag, gold chain bracelet and gold earrings.

Her famous dirty blonde tresses were pulled back into a sensible pony tail.

A dash of crimson lipstick, subtle eye make-up and blush gave the longtime star a radiant glow.

* PRICES MAY NOT BE AS ADVERTISED

The Mask actress held a warm beverage in her right hand and a red notebook in her left as she made her way to a waiting vehicle.

She also appeared to be in quite a good mood, which may have been because she's been relaxing lately. 

Indeed, her IMDb page indicates that she may be taking a break from the limelight, as she currently has zero projects in the pipeline.

Instead, she may be focusing on her writing career, having just published The Longevity Book: the Science of Ageing, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time this year.

She recently discussed what success means to her at sister in-law Nicole Richie's Pearl xChange at The London in West Hollywood last week.

According to People, Cameron - who is married to Benji Madden - said: 'You have to forget about what success is to everybody else, and you have to know what success is to you.

'You have to know that it's not about how much money you make, or what car you drive, or what bag you buy, or how many likes you get.

'It's all about your intention of what you want to accomplish on a personal level.'
