Gemma Collins is laden with Louis Vuitton and Selfridges bags

Gemma Collins is laden with Louis Vuitton and Selfridges bags following a designer shopping spree before joining a girls dinner in Mayfair

She is no stranger to a designer shopping spree.

And Gemma Collins enjoyed an afternoon of indulgence on Thursday, as she hit the shops in central London before joining some friends for an Italian dinner.

The TOWIE star, 40, who was laden with shopping bags after purchasing items from Louis Vuitton and Selfridges, appeared to have been splashing the cash.

Gemma opted for a casual look for her outing, as she sported a black velour tracksuit, which was covered in gem stone detailing.

The Diva Forever star styled the look with a pair of camel Yeezy sliders, while accessorising with a pair of oversized square sunglasses.

Gemma wore her signature blonde locks in an up do, and avoided her usual glamorous make-up look in favour of a more pared back look. 

Quality time: After hitting the shops, Gemma met up with her mother Joan, 65, and a host of other gal pals as they dined al fresco at Spaghetti House
