The newly-engaged singer may be busy with wedding planning, but Fergie makes sure that nothing comes between her and her Calvins. The Dolce & Gabbana-clad star stopped by the Calvin Klein flagship store on New York’s Madison Avenue this week — and left the boutique four hours later and 30 thousand dollars lighter. During her rock star-worthy spree, the singer snapped up eight pairs of designer shades in a variety of colors and styles, a ultra-luxurious gray python bag, and a variety of glam shoes, including gorgeous red python sandal flats and feminine round-toe stilettos. She also stuffed her shopping bags with a rainbow of cashmere sweaters and turtlenecks, a number of knit pencil skirts, and a selection of glam day and evening dresses. As a final purchase, the jet setter grabbed an ivory basket-weave silk and cashmere throw — perfect for making her first-class travels even more G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S.
