MOTORCYCLE MAMA

Posted Dec 01 2008 @ 09:47 PM

Don’t mess with Jessica Alba! Shopping with her daughter Honor Marie at the local grocery store on Nov 8 in New York, Jess looked like one tough mama in her black zippered motorcycle jacket (try Gold Hawk’s Ribbed Motorcycle Jacket in Black), grey skinnies (like Denim of Virtue’s Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Grey) and buckled black flat boots (get a similar look with Matiko’s folded flap C Boot in Black). Adding a fedora and fingerless gloves to shield her from the icy cold as she pushed her purse laden baby stroller away from the shop, Jess glared down any lingering paparazzi in her path as she made her way home (for similar purse picks that can double as a baby bag, try Linea Pelle’s Dylan Zip Tote in Citrine). Jess looked like she had a hard day on the set as she perused the night’s eats, stopping to coo over her baby girl as she picked out her produce. Jessica’s gams are looking pretty good these days, and she recently talked to People about her post-pregnancy lifestyle changes that helped her slim down: "I worked out -- not for hours, but I definitely had to work out. And I ate, not a lot of sweets and not a lot of cream. I kept a pretty simple organic diet, which I do now anyway." Seems simple enough for the rest of us to follow, no? Now that An Invisible Sign of My Own is almost finished filming, Jessica has already confirmed her next project, co-starring Casey Affleck. The two will work together in an on-screen adaptation of the book The Killer Inside Me, which was previously taken to the big screen in 1976. Wonder if Jess stayed true to her refusal to work unless Honor could be with her on-set, considering she’s lined up her next project so quickly? My guess is that in these tough economic times, even actors can’t be too picky with their work – what do you think?
