Paris Hilton goes on post-jail shopping spree

Heiress hits the stores in Hawaii

Paris Hilton is adjusting to life outside jail with some retail therapy.

The heiress, who arrived back in Los Angeles Tuesday after a post-prison trip to Maui, went on a Hawaiian shopping spree this week. The freed heiress hit the upscale Shops at Wailea – the antithesis of the jail commissary – stopping in Guess, BCBG Max Azria, the art gallery Celebrities (featuring works by famous people), the Enchantress Boutique and its new sister store, Fifi & Bootsie.

On two different private shopping excursions, Hilton, wearing linen shorts, a silk top, big straw hat and white sunglasses, spent "a lot" in Enchantress and Fifi & Bootsie, eclectic specialty boutiques that carry 600 different designers between them, a source says.

Her purchases included T-shirts by Brokedown and Hello Kitty, jewelery, candles, a pink leopard caftan by Monique Leshman, a tunic by Gold Hawk, and a princess-themed toilet roll dispenser for $29.

"She was in a really good mood; she's a sweet girl," said one observer. "And she looked great. She's got so much style."

The shopping spree also spared her the solitude she endured in her single-person cell: Eighty to 100 people followed her around the outdoor mall trying to snap her picture or obtain an autograph.

"She was so nice and peaceful," said Enchantress/Fifi & Bootsie co-owner Britta Alexandra. "She's awesome; it was really great to see her again."
