Imbibing in a post-Christmas retail adventure, Hilary Duff joined husband Mike Comrie for a Beverly Hills shopping outing on Thursday afternoon (December 29).

The pregnant “Lizzie McGuire” star covered her growing baby bump in a winter sweater as she and her man joined other family members for the west coast spending spree.

Reportedly expecting her bundle of joy to arrive in March, Hilary recently spoke with E! News about how things have gone smoothly thus far.

The 24-year-old told, “I feel so lucky that I’ve had an easy pregnancy and I hope it stays that way.”

Grabbing a few last minute holiday goodies, expectant momma Hilary Duff hit up a local shop in Studio City, California this afternoon (December 22).

Dressed in a bump-hugging brown top, black leggings and multi-colored flats, the “Lizzie McGuire” star was all smiles as she purchased the perfect finishing touches for her Christmas celebration this weekend.

Adding to her happiness this holiday season, Hilary’s six-year-old Chihuahua Lola has finally returned home after undergoing surgery for an unknown issue.

Relieved to finally have her canine companion back in her arms, Duff tweeted, “Could not have asked for a better gift! Got 2bring Miss Lola home 2day! She is standing up by herself! And taking some steps! Big improvement!”

“Whew why is Christmas shopping so stressful. And I am the worst at trying to do it last minute!” Hil tweeted earlier in the week.

Not losing focus on her physical fitness during pregnancy, Hilary Duff was spotted leaving her regular Pilates class in Toluca Lake, CA on Thursday (December 15). The “War, Inc.” actress sported a comfy outfit for her exercise session and threw on some trendy shades as she made her way to her ride, waving to the paparazzi along the way.

Meanwhile, Duff recently opened up to UsWeekly about getting the nursery ready for her first child with husband Mike Comrie, telling, “I just remodeled the house so it was kind of perfect.”

“My decorator found this wallpaper – this girl in England does it – and it’s magnetic! It has all of these adorable characters, so you can move them around on the wall and stuff. There are flying pigs and little clouds, and you can write stuff inside the clouds. It’s adorable! It’s really, really cute.

The excited mama went on, “I know he won’t be able to play with that for a while, but when he’s old enough, I guess we’ll have to insist not drawing on the walls! But he can move the characters around the walls instead.”

Hil recently reflected on her pregnancy with E!, saying she thinks it’s “such a miracle.”

“I feel so lucky that I’ve had an easy pregnancy and hope it stays that way. I think feeling the baby move and getting those little kicks…seeing it happen through your shirt or looking at your belly, it’s like, wow, there’s a life inside of me. It’s a piece of my husband and me and it’s really wild,” she said.
