Ashlee Goes on a Shopping Spree of Lohanesque Proportions

First Rihanna shops till her pretty self drops at Barney's New York which we love, hello Co-op? You can read about THAT here. Now barbie doll in training Ashlee Simpson (of-dumping gawjuss-Braxton-Olita-for-Pete Wentz-of-Fall-Out-Boy-Huh?! fame) tries her hand at developing LindsLo Syndrome, dropping a whopping $11K in 20 minutes. Read on from Best Week Ever....



Singer Ashlee Simpson Drops $11K in 20 Minutes During Recent Shopping Spree
Saturday evening, Ashlee and her mini-entourage stopped by Barney’s New York with only 20 minutes til closing, to peruse the merch and possibly purch. Our source, who was with Ashlee during her spree, describes the scene as such: Employees roped off four dressing rooms for Ashlee and her friends, which were stuffed to the gills with clothes — size ZERO, if you were wondering. She then somehow magically tried on everything in the four rooms in under 20 minutes, all the while “looking really beautiful”, with her bodyguard standing closeby. At the end of the fitting room frenzy, Ashlee ended up purchasing $11,000 worth of merchandise (again, while being in the store for under 30 minutes), including some items for her friends and her assistant...[Simpson] refused to have her clothes wrapped and folded, telling the salesman to just shove her new purchases in the shopping bag.

She's giving Lindsay a real run for her money (sorry, had to). NOT that Miss Lohan isn't keeping up. She must be doing some celebratory retail therapy since the recovery of her Hermes, since she's been spotted around London bouncing in and out of stores like Yves Saint Laurent, perusing Kensington Church Street and ever the fashionista, changing outfits mid-spree. Linds followed up hard shopping with some partying, hitting up four London nightclubs that evening. Pix from her shoptastic day below!

Both Lindsay and Ashlee have earned honorary titles as "luxerinas" for their dedication to shopping.
