Following in Eva Longoria’s stylish post-breakup footsteps, Selena Gomez was spotted in New York looking fabulous a week after her traumatic split with Justin Bieber (who was reportedly treating the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as an exercise in scantily clad speed dating). I’m loving the 70′s vibe of her shearling-lined denim jacket, trendy oxblood jeans, and sexy, slouchy boots. She looks cute, casual, and ready to move on with a hopefully less-douchey dude.
