A camera-shy Christina Applegate spent the afternoon out and about in Brentwood, CA today (September 16).

Joined by a friend, the 37-year-old actress kicked off the day shopping at a local retail district before celebrating her purchases over coffee at a nearby outdoor cafe.

Meanwhile, cancer survivor Christina admits she misses her old breasts following the reconstruction surgery she had on them last year after a double mastectomy.

“It’s really hard because they just aren’t the same - and I had really good ones,” she tells Women’s Health magazine. “If you have boobs you don’t like, you can go and choose the size you want, and then get a brand new present. But it’s different when it’s not your choice.”

However, Miss Applegate claims there is one plus point of no longerhaving large breasts.

She adds: “I hold on to the fact that I don’t have to wear a bra, which is great!”
