Just hours before she was left bereft following an incident at a gas station, in which she drove her car away with the nozzle still in the petrol cap. 

Yet Selma Blair looked as though she was on the road to recovery on Saturday as she enjoyed a day out with her beloved son Arthur, during a morning stroll and dog walk to their local coffee shop. 

The 44-year-old Cruel Intentions actress looked in much better spirits as she walked along with her five-year-old, who seemed to be sporting pyjamas for the run.

Come here you! Selma Blair looked as though she was on the road to recovery on Saturday as she enjoyed a day out with her beloved son Arthur, during a morning stroll and dog walk to their local coffee shop

Selma looked super low-key for her mother-son outing, as she pulled on an oversized cardigan with a jumper and slouchy tan boots. 

Shielding her eyes from the searing sun, she pulled on a pair of trendy aviator sunglasses which perfectly framed her pretty face. 

Arthur meanwhile looked adorable in his white pyjamas, paired with boots while he walked alongside his mum who planted a kiss on his cheek. 

Selma shared her beloved son with 46-year-old fashion designer Jason Bleick, whom she dated from 2010 until 2012. She was previously married to musician Frank Zappa's son Ahmet Zappa.

During a 2015 interview with The Glow, Blair defended her closeness to her son, saying: 'As a mom, there’s almost a shame in feeling too attached, like there’s something shameful in saying: "My kid is my life these days."'

She countered that 'There’s a time and a place, especially when they’re this young. Let yourself enjoy it. I wish people talked about the love more.' 

Shortly before her outing with Arthur, Selma was seen sobbing as she took to Instagram to tell her fans about her unlucky morning.

'500 dollar tank of gas' Selma Blair had a rough day Friday, after she absentmindedly drove away from the gas station with the pump still hooked up to her car

She explained how she caused $500 of damage by accidentally driving off with the gas station's fuel nozzle still hooked to her car.

The Michigan-born talent took a close up that showed off her teary eyes and a bit of smeared makeup as she told fans about her earlier ordeal.

'Ok. So my head is still pounding,' she explained. 'I drove away from a gas pump with the nozzle still in. And then I paid for the broken pump so that was over a 500 dollar tank of gas.'

The star said the situation made her feel 'awful for being so absent minded,' which then caused the In Their Skin actress to 'burst into tears in front of barista after ordering and made everyone uncomfortable.'

Although the incident had passed, Selma told fans she was 'Still crying. And I ran out of dog food. And Excedrin,' before asking Can I have someone say this will pass ?'

It seems like Selma was keen on putting her bad day behind her, as she started her Saturday on the right foot.

Selma began her day sharing a sweet Instagram of herself being awoken by the feet of her son Arthur.

Before her gas station debacle, the 44-year-old actress appeared to be in good spirits as she stepped out in Los Angeles.

She was lucky enough to find an already-paid parking meter, as she also wore a pair of tasseled suede brown boots and kept it casual in rolled up pale blue denim jeans. 

A chunky aran-knit sweater kept her warm, as she multi-tasked - chatting on her phone.

The beauty carried her belongings in a teal tote, which was slung over one arm.Her brunette tresses were worn straight and with bangs, and she added sunglasses.  

On the heels of her portrayal of Kris Jenner in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Selma will next appear in a horror thriller film out later this year titled Mom and Dad. 

Directed and written by Brian Taylor, the film will center around a full day in the life of a teenage girl and her younger brother, who find themselves in the midst of some sort of outbreak that results in parents brutalizing their children.

She'll star alongside Nicolas Cage, as on-screen parents, as well as Anne Winters, who ironically recently appeared in 2016's television version of Cruel Intentions, the 1999 movie that made Selma famous.

Though the film is completed according to IMDB, no specific release date has been set at this time.
