Live It Up! Jennifer Lopez consoles herself with a shopping spree in NYC after sharing cryptic post-breakup Instagram post
Shopping sprees have been a post-breakup tonic since time immemorial.
And on Saturday, as rumours abounded her newly ex-boyfriend was angling for a reunion, Jennifer Lopez put the treatment to the test.
The 47-year-old was spotted leaving Bonpoint in New York City’s SoHo neighbourhood, wearing figure-hugging jeans that accented her abundant derrière and toned dancer’s legs.

Her hair pulled severely into a neat high bun, the mother of two seemed to have left the children’s clothing shop empty-handed, unless she’d stuffed her acquisitions into her Christian Louboutin Paloma tote.
Camel embossed leather combat boots matched the purse. A pair of gold hoop earrings and a couple of rings added a bit of flash to the outfit, augmenting a set of accessories that included black cat eye sunglasses and a large gleaming watch.

Why so serious?: People confirmed Wednesday that the 47-year-old had broken up with her 29-year-old boyfriend Casper Smart
On Wednesday, People confirmed her split from her 29-year-old boyfriend Casper Smart. She and her former backup dancer had begun dating in 2011, only to separate briefly in 2014 and then reignite their relationship until the current breakup.
According to TMZ, the Out Of Sight star ended the relationship after the choreographer opted to spend Saturday night at UFC 202, rather than the benefit in the Hamptons she’d asked him to attend with her.
She’s recently been hard at work filming the second series of her ABC procedural Shades Of Blue in New York. Smart, TMZ reported, travelled to the city in order to see her, believing he had a chance at reconciliation.

Yet the speculation goes that his ex is determined to keep herself so, an idea Lopez appeared to reinforce with an Instagram post she uploaded Friday.
In hair, makeup and costume for Shades Of Blue, she stood in front of a pavement graffito by the anonymous ‘UncuttArt.’ The words ‘PROTECT YO HEART’ blared above a drawing of the shape in question.
She doubled down on the message in her caption, which she closed with the words ‘protect your heart’ as a hashtag.
