Lindsay Lohan headband Dina Lohan boots dress shopping

Lindsay Lohan headband Dina Lohan boots heels shorts Waverly Inn

After a little retail therapy in New York last night, Lindsay Lohan dined at the Waverly Inn - where else? But her shopping companion wasn't sister Ali... it was mom Dina!

Haven't seen these two out and about much lately, right? Which begs a bigger question: Is Dina a better influence on her daughter than she used to be? She's been keeping quiet these days, so we wonder!

And where does Michael Lohan fit in with these two?
