Happy 34th birthday to me! Christina Milian treats herself to her own special cake as she enjoys a shopping spree before the big day

Her birthday isn't until Saturday.

But there's nothing to stop pop star Christina Milian kicking off the celebrations early.

The singer, who's about to turn 34, was spotted smiling as she got into her car with a beautiful little cake, perfect for one, in the West Hollywood neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Friday afternoon.

The celebrity had also treated herself to a few early presents.

She grinned as strolled along carrying a bag from Elodie K, the luxury fashion boutique specializing in designer apparel, jewelry, cosmetics and home decor on trendy Melrose Place.

Christina was casually dressed for her outing in a striped henley top, ripped skinny jeans and sneakers.

Her bobbed hair was styled in waves and it didn't look like she was wearing much in the way of make-up   

The From AM To PM songstress is newly-single after calling it quits with 32-year-old rapper Lil Wayne after one year of dating.

But she appeared to be completely over the recent split.

Christina has been keeping herself busy to fend off heartbreak and she showed her man exactly what he's missing when she attended Verizon's Go90 sneak peek event at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on Thursday night.

She made sure all her assets were on show as she flashed a tantilising hint of sideboob in a slashed camouflage vest with a bright yellow The Force motif.

And she flaunted her toned pins in a racy leather pencil skirt with a soaring thigh-high split. 

Christina and Lil Wayne were first linked in July 2014, but it was just a few months ago that the singer began gushing about her boyfriend during interviews.

Land a pair of strappy heels like Christina

You can never have too many strappy sandals in your closet. Trust us! The length of your skirt or pants and the width or the flare of your skirt combined with the height and the density of the straps will all matter to the overall look. Our best advice is if it's a simple ensemble, you can afford to be elaborate with the shoes and vice versa.

Christina Milian was snapped at the Verizon Go90 party in Beverly Hills sporting a mid-length leather skirt, a camo tank top emblazoned with "The Force" and, of course, a pair of strappy heels.

There's a lot to take in with this outfit, so Christina did it right by keeping the strappy to a minimum with these heels. They are by Nasty Gal, one of our fave online sources, and you can get a pair now for only $78.

We LOVE when celebrities dress like normal people. It reminds us that you can have style no matter your budget.

But just in case that's still out of your price range, we hunted down even better bargains: the London Rebel strappy heeled sandals at ASOS, $63, and the snake-textured strappy high heels at Charlotte Russe for only $10.99. What's not to love?

‘For me, I'm so inspired by the relationship that I'm in that it's definitely an experience,' she told ETonline. ‘It's that careless, hopeless, romantic love – that feeling of “I will do anything for you” and it's just incredible.’

According to sources, the former couple have remained amicable following their split, both attending the same show during New York Fashion Week.

An insider told Us Weekly that their busy schedules were partly to blame for their split.

'They've broken up a few times before. She’s got so much going on with Grandfathered, her E! and Hulu shows, and working on her album with Wayne,' the source said.
