Please don't stop the rumors

Rihanna was spotted on a solo shopping expedition at The Grove in West Hollywood on March 30, obviously turning many of the other shoppers' heads (check out that guy behind her!). Seeming to be in a pretty solemn mood, Rihanna went for the classic jeans-and-a-jacket look, but still turned it up a notch with her unique accents. She started with a khaki colored trench (like Walter's Cropped Trench Jacket in Bronze), and paired with a super dark wash pair of tapered ankle jeans (similar to Hudson Jeans' Pin Tuck Ankle Jean in Eternal). Accessory wise, Ri-Ri picked a metallic handbag in addition to oversized gold hoops (Lana Unlimited's Miami Earrings in Yellow Gold are similar) and silver aviators (check out JeeVice Optics' Crybaby II Sunglasses in Silver). While it seems pretty obvious that Rihanna is more than just friends with Chris Brown, the two have yet to publicly announce their relationship (and I think it's safe to say they are indeed dating- I mean, did you see those pictures of Chris holding Rihanna tight in the ocean?), and Brown has gone so far to say that they definitely aren't dating. At the Kids Choice Awards held on Saturday night, he told the AP, "We're not in a relationship or anything." He then insisted the two were just friends. I don't know, do you buy it?
