Out with the old! Minka Kelly donates bags of clothes to charity shop before rewarding herself with some new trinkets
Everyone needs a clear out from time to time.
And Minka Kelly is no exception. On Monday she started the week by donating bags and bags of clothes to a Goodwill charity store in the upscale Brentwood neighbourhood of Los Angeles.
And the 33-year-old followed that with a bit of retail therapy at Jonathan Adler, the designer store specialising in chic home decor on trendy Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.

The actress probably needed a bit of cheering up after recently learning that Fox had cancelled her show, Almost Human, after just one series.
For her shopping trip, Minka looked cute in a white shirt, rolled up to the elbows, and washed out jeans.
She teamed the casual look with coral, ankle-strap high-heeled shoes - probably not the best choice of footwear when you are carrying heavy black bags back and forth from the car.
Starting the week right: The actress obviously had a really good clear out of clothes and had no trouble carrying the haul into the charity store, despite the height of her heels

But the beautiful brunette, who is the only child of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay, managed admirably as she lightened the load in the back of her vehicle before grabbing a juice and heading off to the home store.
There she was spotted strolling around the beautiful displays, looking at tablewear amongst many other items.
Almost Human, the science fiction and crime drama executive produced by JJ Abrams, takes place in 2048 when human police and androids join forces after a spike in crime rates.

'I was excited about playing such a strong, smart woman,' Minka told the New York Post in November, about her policewoman alter ego Valerie Stahl. 'Previously I’ve played really broken characters and it was just fun to play someone so strong.'
But the show got off to a sluggish start last November and apparently never caught fire during its 13 episode run.
Minka, who split up with Captain America star Chris Evans in October, has other projects up her sleeve this year.

She has completed the drama, The World Made Straight, alongside Haley Joel Osment, about a rebellious young man living in a rural Appalachian community haunted by an American Civil War massacre.
Minka is also in director Bob Yari's Papa, starring Adrian Sparks as Ernest Hemingway, which is post production.
No release dates have been set for either movie.
