Vanessa Hudgens' Day in the Big Apple

It’s been a big week for Vanessa Hudgens. She arrived in New York City Monday in preparation for the release of her new album Identified and ever since she’s been living it up in the big city.

Yesterday, the High School Musical hottie made an appearance on MTV's TRL before enjoying a Big Apple shopping spree at the celebrity-popular Intermix boutique.

And Miss Hudgens seemed to take after Nicole Richie with her hippie-style wardrobe, including a black-with-multicolor pattern spaghetti strap top, vintage-looking jeans, skinny headband, and a pair of strappy gladiator sandals.

Following her retail therapy session, Vanessa was spotted grabbing some dinner at the trendy Waverly Inn, along with socialite/actress Paz de la Huerta.
