Doing a little bonding in the Big Apple, Ashlee Simpson did some shopping with her son Bronx and beau Vincent Piazza in New York City earlier yesterday (March 16).

Dressed in a black jacket, matching leggings and trendy booties, the “Pieces of Me” songstress looked to have picked up a few things for her curly-haired cutie during her retail romp. Vincent happily toted the goods as the trio left a nearby store.

Ashlee’s outing comes amidst speculation that big sister Jessica’s west coast baby shower is set for this coming weekend.

According to a Radar Online, the celebratory soiree is to be held at Jess’ Los Angeles home and will likely be over-run with swanky gifts from Bel-Bambini, where the star reportedly registered.
