Retail therapy: Alex Curran keeps a tight grip on Lilly-Ella as they shop in Liverpool


You're never too young to indulge in a little retail therapy.


At least, that seems to be the mentality of Alex Curran, who introduced her six-year-old daughter Lilly-Ella to the wonders of shopping in Liverpool today.

And it's not only her mother's love of shopping that Lilly-Ella is copying - she is also getting to grips with her sense of style.

In fact Lilly-Ella looked like Alex's 'Mini Me' as they enjoyed their shopping trip, with both ladies wearing grey and black ensembles to combat the cold.

While Alex was decked out in her favourite combination of black skinny jeans and her favourite Balmain black blazer with exaggerated shoulders, Lilly-Ella looked adorable in a grey T-shirt and skirt suit, complete with grey tights and black boots.

But despite her love of designer fashion, Alex, wife of Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard, has clearly been feeling the effects of the recession, and was spotted loaded with bags from High Street stores including Topshop and River Island.

However, Alex struggled to get the bags into the boot of her sports car as she battled against the extreme weather conditions, including violent gusts of wind, in Liverpool
