She's got sunshine! Hilary Duff brightens up her black outfit with a striking yellow handbag

Hilary Duff heated up Hollywood during a shopping trip on Monday with torn jeans and a bright yellow purse.

Recently returned from Sweden where she's been working on new music, the busy actress and singer offset the trendy ripped denim with a black shirt tucked into the waistband and a large floppy black hat to protect her pale skin from the sun.

She carried a large zipped wallet in one hand and one of her favorite yellow purses in the other.

The 27-year-old Lizzie McGuire star kept her makeup low key but showed off bright red fingernails and wore one of her signature pendants around her neck.

The former Disney starlet, who has a two-year-old son Luca with estranged husband Mike Comrie, appeared upbeat and focused as she ran errands in West Hollywood.

The ripped denim look is one Duff favors right now.

Brighten your day with a sunny yellow Céline bag

The skies may be dreary and the temperature below freezing in New York, but we're looking forward to warmer days ahead. And what better way to bring in the new season than a bright yellow bag like the Céline hobo that Hilary Duff carries.

Roomy enough to carry all of your belongings, with a sleek and stylish shape, the vivid color adds spark to the former Disney star's dark top and denim pants.

The sunny shade is quickly becoming this season's hottest hue. Bright bags were spotted on the arm of Reese Witherspoon and on the catwalk at Phillip Plein and Fendi.

Unfortunately, the Trotteur bag is sold out everywhere. But that never stopped us at Fashion Finder. We found some excellent substitutes in our edit from Kenneth Cole to Diane von Furstenberg that make an excellent investment to add to your Spring wardrobe.

On Valentine's Day the young mom paired ripped denim overalls with a white shirt and black hi-tops for a supermarket run with son Luca to pick up cup cakes.

Last Thursday, she was spotted heading to the studio with rolled up faded and torn jeans and white T-shirt with the same black hi-tops and a flannel shirt wrapped around her waist.

It's a busy time for Duff who split from former NHL star Comrie, 33, a year ago after just over four years of marriage.
