Retail therapy! Christina Milian helps Karrueche Tran shop her worries away at Tyga's sneaker launch after split from Chris Brown

It is often said when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.

Christina Milian seems to live by that adage, taking pal Karrueche Tran out for a sneaker shopping spree in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday.

Karrueche certainly could do with the distraction, having recently split with her long term boyfriend Chris Brown after it was revealed he had fathered a little girl during their relationship.

And the retail therapy seemed to be working, with the 26-year-old smiling away as she and Christina stopped by Tyga and L.A Gear's sneaker launch at Shiekh Shoes.

The rapper unveiled his new version of the Eighties classic L.A. Lights sneaker - the Liquid Gold Shoe - at the event, and one thing is for sure, the ladies were pretty impressed.

No doubt making Karrueche enjoy her shopping day even more was that she and her bestie were getting a chance to get a pair of the limited edition shoes for free.

Keeping it casual: For their shopping date, Karrueche dressed rather casually wearing a pair of three quarter workout pants with a dusty pink T-shirt and platform sneakers

But Christina was not just satisfied with the gold shoes, the 33-year-old also grabbed a few more sneakers while she was at the store finishing up with two big bags full of fresh sneakers.

The reality star also had her eye on a T-shirt that said 'bae' on it - which is a pet name for someone's girlfriend - perhaps wanting it as a constant reminder to boyfriend Lil Wayne.

Get the laid back look like Christina Milian in a hip BOY London tee

Christina Milian has got a rocking body and she's definitely not afraid to show it off.

And yesterday it was all about her abs in this all-white look of high waist skinny jeans and cute cropped tee.

Christina has clearly done a bit of customization to her top, taking a regular length T-shirt by cult label Boy London and snipping off the bottom half. We like it!

If you're too young to remember Boy from the first time around then let us give you a bit of background. It was founded in 1976 by Stephane Raynor and so in demand were his underground designs that they ended up being worn by everyone from Andy Warhol to Madonna.

After a brief hiatus when the only places you could get your hands on the brand was in vintage stores, it ultimately relaunched and is now back bigger than ever with new fans in Jessie J, Rihanna and Cara Delevingne.

So join this hipster gang and get a bit of fashion history by clicking (right) to buy a tee like Christina's at ASOS now. Style with high waisted jeans and heels for a glam take or grunge it up with biker boots and cut off shorts.
