Angelina Jolie Spends $2,000 In 15 Minute Shopping Spree

Lately we've seen some celebs give new meaning to the term "fast fashion."

Beyoncé, along with mom Tina Knowles, dropped $14,000 in 90 minutes on a London shopping trip in July (and who can blame them -- we lose all self-discipline every time we enter Topshop, too).

But Angelina Jolie may have just set the bar for quickie spending sprees. The actress, tykes in tow, hit the French Connection store on King's Road in west London, where she evidently saw a lot that she liked in a short time.

Jolie combed the racks for stylish fall staples like a mustard cami, a white blouse and a basic black mid-length skirt, the Daily Mail reports.

During her 15-minute visit to the shop, she also managed to pick up a dozen or so items for her brood (daughters Shiloh, 5, and Zahara, 6, were by her side). The total tab for her finds? £1,300 (equivalent to about $2,103).

Personally, we like to take more time to ponder our purchases -- especially when dropping a large sum of cash. But hey, at least we now know that retail therapy has its health benefits.

Read the rest of the Daily Mail story here to see what else she bought.

Angelina works for what she spends, and also gives much money away to charities. Class act.

Lets be real. That is NOTHING for a celebrity like Angelina to spend in 15 minutes. That is similiar to everybody else spending like $5.00 !!!!!

I don't understand why this is a big deal. It's totally possible for ANY celebrity to drop $2000 in 15 minutes on DESIGNER clothes. Heck, I could easily drop more than $100 on clothes at Bergners, Macys, Gap, The Limited, etc in 15 minutes. It's all relative. I would LOVE to have $2000 to drop on clothes. LOL

$2,103. That's a huge amount to spend.
This weekend people will buy 21,316 cars and trucks at an average price of $33,347. Not a single one will get mentioned in huff. *sigh*
