Eva Mendes wears a 1950s-inspired, flowery shift dress: lovely or dated?

Here are some new photos of Eva Mendes flower-shopping in Los Feliz, California yesterday. Eva has been getting pap’d on a regular basis ever since she and Ryan Gosling got together. I’d have to check, but it feels like it averages out to about two or three paparazzi-friendly outings a week, and when in LA, Eva is almost always photographed solo. Do photographers stake out her house and then just follow her around as she runs her errands? Or does she (or someone else) call some photographer and say, “Eva will be at Starbucks at 10 am”? I don’t know. I really don’t.

I do get the feeling that Eva is now dressing for the paparazzi, though. Meaning that she’s trying to put together cute ensembles because she knows she’s going to be photographed. For yesterday’s errand – picking up flowers – Eva chose a flower-printed shift dress. This is maybe one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen Eva wear. I’m not crazy about her penchant for silky Hammer pants and button-covered sweaters, but I do like this. She looks like a 1950s housewife. What does it say about me that I like that look?

As for the flower-purchase… do you think she’s just buying flowers to beautify her nest for herself and for Ryan Gosling? Or is she going to be entertaining? I only buy flowers these days when I’m feeling blue and I want to perk myself up. I’ve been side-eyeing the potted orchids at my local Kroger too – should I buy myself an orchid? I should.
