She teamed her top with tight black jeans and covered her brunette tresses with a dark orange cap, as she slung her Chanel handbag over her shoulder.

The Pretty Little Liars actress was spotted carrying a bag from Soto Lifestyle, which specialises in women’s clothing, jewelry and home decor.

And she also loaded up on goodies for her new puppy, Elvis, at Maxwell Dog, a pet shop offering a huge assortment of fun toys, comfy beds, stylish collars, cool accessories as well as all-natural food and treats.

Lucy adopted the little white ball of fluff last month and is obviously besotted with him if her Instagram snaps are anything to go by.

The Memphis native even posted a cute video clip on social media on Friday showing the cutie pulling her tresses and jumping around her head as she lay on the floor.

‘Elvis loves playing with hair more than any toy,’ the celebrity explained in the caption.

This is Lucy’s third pet following her Maltipoo, Jack, and her family’s Yorkshire terrier, Bentley, who passed away last month.

Meanwhile, fans of her Pretty Little Liars character, Aria, were left on tenterhooks on Tuesday evening.

The episode ended with a cliffhanger when Ezra Fitz, played by Ian Harding, got down on one knee to propose to Aria.

Lucy apologised to fans who will have to wait until August 2 to find out whether Aria said yes by posting an Instagram snap of the romantic moment, captioned: ‘What’s Aria gonna say?! PLL returns in 2 weeks…sorry to keep y’all hangin!’
