After writing, directing, producing and starring in Friends With Kids, we thought there was nothing Jennifer Westfeldt couldn't do — until we talked beauty and fashion. Now she can officially add stylist to her resume.

Read on to find out more from "Mrs. Jon Hamm" — we know, we’re jealous he’s taken too.

SheKnows: Do you have an everyday beauty routine?

Westfeldt: I wish I had a routine! I feel as if I’m always in search of one. I’m always running out the door and am so busy, so I never quite develop one. However, I do try to get a really good, deep cleaning facial once or twice a year.

SheKnows: What’s the one beauty item you can’t live without?

Westfeldt: SPF! No matter what, I always have SPF 40 on!

SheKnows: What are your go-to fashion brands?

Westfeldt: I’m pretty simple, but I’m recently loving everything Kate Spade is doing. I also love Nanette Lepore, and J Brand for jeans!

"I’m recently loving everything Kate Spade is doing."

SheKnows: What celebrity's closet would you most like to steal?

Westfeldt: Olivia Wilde’s! She always looks absolutely stunning on the red carpet.

SheKnows: OK, now onto your film... How did you decide on the cast? Did you have anyone in mind when you wrote the script?

Westfeldt: Ironically, the day I finished the first draft of the script, Jon and I invited some of our close actor friends over for dinner, and we did a cold reading. Adam Scott came because we’ve been friends with him for 15 years and read the role of Jason. He was truly amazing. We cast Kristen [Wiig] shortly after — before she even started shooting Bridesmaids. The more dramatic role of Missy was much different from what we were used to seeing with her genius comedy — so it was a great fit to be able to see all sides of her talent.
