Is it weird that in a way I feel older than that? I'm not one of these people who worries about age - once I reach my birthday I feel that age already, and don't mind getting older because I'm exciting for the things to come!

Lucky Birthday Girl
Here are my new Carvelas that my lovely boyfriend treated me to. He knows the way to my heart!
They're a taupe suede with a zip at the back. I have never been able to wear a shoe like this before because my feet are so scrawny I usually need a strap, buckle or lace to keep my feet held secure to avoid doing a Naomi Campbell and stacking one, but luckily I found these slim fitting babies and it was love at first try!
As you can see they're a pretty classic colour and style so they should keep my fickle self happy for a long time. They're versatile and comfy but boy are they going to need a thick layer of suede protector! My friend's engagement party is coming up and cannot wait to sport these with a jade green ASOS dress (which I'm praying fits when it arrives this week!).

Girl Crush!
I assume she needs no introduction. At the ripe age of 23 Rosie has achieved what most models (and actresses) only dream of! She is a Victoria Secret Angel, she has been the face of Burberry, Matthew Williamson, Thomas Wylde to name a fraction, she features on the runway every season, covered Vogue UK, Spain, etc. She has just topped the FHM's 2011 sexiest woman list - above Katy Perry, Rhianna, Megan Fox, and Olivia Wilde! AND she is the female lead in Transformers 3, Dark of The Moon (UK release date 1st July).
I also like that she has stuck to her British roots by modelling for the UK highstreet - Next and Monsoon.
I've never seen Rosie looking particularly fashionable or prim when papped, but gosh does she scrub up well! Understatement of the century?

Hollywood's Quirky Cuisine
My boyfriend had a modelling shoot in Hollywood last week whilst I was out there visiting him, and afterwards visited a pretty quirky little bar/restaurant for dinner, as recommended by the photographer who lives locally. It's called 'Street' and sells small dishes from all over the world. We had:
Here are a couple of the photos I took on my phone during the shoot, I'll upload some of the shots once we get them back. Cannot wait to see them!
My J Crew purchases
As mentioned in a couple of my previous posts, I have just spent 2 weeks in the OC & LA, & I naturally made the most of the shops that we don't have here in the UK. This post will be the first of a few to show what I bought, and what other items/looks the retailer is inspiring me with at the moment.
I think of J Crew as being a more fashionable version of GAP. Their prices are fairly high for a highstreet brand, and the quality of the clothes is great.
What I bought:
I bought these in what I would describe as a burnt mango colour! The colour is now unavailable on their website so you unfortunately can't decide whether that was a good description by me or not!!
Essie nail varnish in 'Tangerine' $8 such a bargain over there considering they start at £10 here!
'Mucho Dinero'
I also bought a camel shift dress with lace cotton insert at the top - will try and locate an image or take one myself and update shortly.
