It’s been a big month for her thus far, as Drew Barrymore just announced her engagement and also finds herself featured on the cover of the February 2012 issue of InStyle.

The 36-year-old actress adorns the publication’s front page while clad in white Max Mara dress and Tiffany & Co. earrings, with the accompanying skateboard-themed spread having been shot by photographer Andreas Sjodin.

Highlights from Miss Barrymore’s feature interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out InStyle!

On her wish that she lessen the pace of life:
“I would love to slow things down a bit. We’re living in a time when we have such expectations of immediacy. Everything is instantaneous, everything’s out there.”

On time with her fiancé Will Kopelman:
“It’s just the best! We go on group trips and spend holidays together – there’s a lot of love! And that is really nice and very different from the way I grew up, which was more unstable and inconsistent, with a lot of highs and lows. It’s funny, when I was younger, I used to say I’d hate a flat line – that I want the ups and the downs, the roller coaster. But I’m actually really enjoying the flat line.”

On her old-school ways:
“I’m an old-school gal. I love to play with hair and makeup and clothes.”

On her philosophy when it comes to life:
“Happiness is a choice. You have to choose it – and you have to fight for it.”

The “Wedding Singer” star is confirming reports she accepted a proposal from her handsome art consultant boyfriend Will Kopelman.

Her rep even shared a photo of the happy couple sitting in a sunny garden with Barrymore’s giant diamond engagement ring front and center.

Kopelman, 34, popped the question during a romantic trip to Sun Valley, Idaho, around the holidays, Us Weekly was the first to report.

Barrymore, 36, started marking red carpet appearances with Kopelman last February.

The “Going the Distance” actress, who has spoken openly about her bisexuality in the past, reportedly is ready to settle down and start a family.

“(She’s) yearning to get married and have kids,” an unnamed source told Us Weekly in October.

“He’s madly in love and knows she’s the one,” the source said of Kopelman.

Kopelman’s dad Arie Kopelman is the former head of Chanel USA.

Barrymore’s recent exes include actor Justin Long and The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, who is rumored to be dating “Saturday Night Live” hottie Kristen Wiig.

A marriage to Kopelman would mark Barrymore’s third trip down the aisle.

The former child star wed Hollywood bar owner Jeremy Thomas in March 1994 after just six weeks of dating. She filed for divorce less than two months later.

Her second marriage to comedian Tom Green followed a harrowing fire at their Beverly Hills home in 2001. Green filed for divorce after five months.

A Barrymore spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Drew Barrymore is engaged to beau Will Kopelman, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively.

Kopelman, 34, popped the question in Sun Valley, Idaho around the holidays, according to the insider.

An art consultant and son of the former CEO of Chanel, Arie Kopelman, Will first stepped out with the Going the Distance actress, 36, in February of last year. (According to a source, the couple dated briefly in 2010 but split up at the time, reuniting the following year.)

And, indeed, back in October, a Barrymore pal told Us that the former child star was “yearning to get married and have kids,” with Kopelman poised to propose “around the one-year mark of their dating.”

“He’s madly in love and knows she’s The One,” the insider said of her handsome guy; Barrymore’s recent exes include fellow actor Justin Long and The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti.

t will be the third walk down the aisle for Barrymore, who wed Welsh bar owner Jeremy Thomas in March 1994 — only to split just a month later. Her second marriage, to comic Tom Green, was similarly short lived: They wed in July 2001, and Green filed for divorce that December.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Barrymore opened up about the opportunity to work with MTV and why she chose a West Side Story theme for the video.

“I’ve never done a music video and I’ve always wanted to. The format is dying!” Barrymore explained of her decision try a new creative outlet. “What I love about music videos are the stories in them.”

A fan of romance, action, and tragic love stories, Barrymore opted to draw on Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story, The Warriors and The Outsiders – all while keeping actress Chloe Moretz in mind for the lead. As for Tyler Posey, Barrymore discovered the Teen Wolf star along the way.

“I didn’t want to do a period piece, per se. For this, I thought, stick with the timeless,” she explained. “Take a jean jacket, its ‘50s, ‘70s, ‘90s, now… And I never met a graffiti I didn’t like! That’s how it all started.”

What started out as a small 2-minute project quickly escalated to an 11-minute video as Barrymore realized her ambitions. After asking MTV for permission to expand the project, the short was filmed in downtown LA on a shoestring budget and in only two days. Barrymore called in “every favor on the planet” to make it happen.

“MTV Networks finally decided they would let us make and air the 11-minute version. That, for me, is the greatest lesson in all of this,” she recalled. “If you really push yourself, you could create an opportunity for yourself that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. You have to earn it, and you gotta go out there and make it happen. How could I push the limit? Went outside the traditional lines on this one, I feel really lucky, just another side to me to not sit with your dreams, and try to make them manifest.”

Adding, “I spent three years on Whip It, and to do this in two days – wow. It gave me hope that you don’t have to take yourself so seriously.”

Watch the full, extended version of the music video below.

The 36-year-old actress is only the second celeb to represent the brand since the chain’s “Art of Fashion” campaign debuted in 1994.

“The shoot tells the story of a star’s transformation and Ms. Barrymore had a strong hand in the execution, even down to having a point of view on hair styling,” Eddie Nunns, vice president of Neiman Marcus brand creative, told WWD. “She’s a powerful, modern woman with trans-generational appeal.”

Drew’s campaign will debut in the September issues of magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and W, and a digital version in collaboration with Vanity Fair will be available on iPad.

Drew Barrymore is returning to the director’s chair for her sophomore effort, How to Be Single, a New Line romantic comedy that Barrymore is also producing with her Flower Film partner Nancy Juvonen.

Single is based on the same-titled novel written by Liz Tuccillo and published by Atria on June 10, 2008. In the mold of New Line’s successful multi-story pics such as He’s Just Not That Into You and Valentine’s Day,

Single explores the loves lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of ten years. Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn wrote the adaptation.

(Single actually is a reteaming of the Not That Into You team; Barrymore and Juvonen produced that movie while Silverstein and Kohn wrote the script.)
