Former Secretary of State and putative frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 Hillary Clinton was spotted on a private shopping spree at one of New York City’s most exclusive fashion retailers according to the New York Post.

Hillary Clinton went on a private shopping spree at Bergdorf Goodman early Tuesday morning, sparking further speculation that she’s suiting up for a 2016 presidential run.

Hillary was spotted entering the posh department store by a side entrance at 9 a.m., with a small entourage of security and assistants.

Bergdorf Goodman ("Bergdorf’s" as it is commonly referred) is a subsidiary of Neiman Marcus and a retailer of the highest end designers.

The glimpse of Clinton entering the store prior to public operating hours may provide a window into how the famously frumpy former first lady of Arkansas transformed herself into a chic secretary of state.

According to the Post’s report, Bergdorf’s is renowned for its "private shoppers"—one-on-one stylists who help patrons purchase their gowns, robes, and eye-catching jewels without the prying eyes of a meddling public—something the mother of one has studiously avoided since resigning from the State Department.

Mrs. Clinton may also be seeking to upgrade her fashion game as her consistently concupiscent husband is once again in the news for his alleged predilection for posh playmates.
