some #veryimportantpurchases!

I took off on a little jolly this week. If there is one thing I've learnt about myself this year it is to be open to taking up some of the invitations that come my way. So when I was contacted by The Glades in Bromley to go along to their #veryimportantpurchase event I jumped at the chance!
Me and my haul outside The Glades!

So The Glades really now how to throw an event and it was all about #VIPGladesGallery where they are displaying all their retailers key seasonal pieces. The Gallery is open from the 16th through until 30th June.

So here's where I share with you my #veryimportantpurchases. I was in some fabulous shopping company as I took up the opportunity to catch up again with the gorgeous @teeclutter and was lucky enough to meet with @victoriagenevievestyling @style_mum and @saltyairsunkissedhair whilst I was there. Do check out their Instagram accounts to see their #veryimportantpurchases 

First up we all hit Zara....I have it on good authority from the local girls that this is a great branch where you can often bag things that are sold out everywhere else ;0) Good enough reason to hit The Glades if ever there was one! 

Zara top

I actually went with a bit of a shopping plan.....us girls all discussed beforehand what were were looking for and I said I *need* red tops. However....I ended up with blue?! Standard to go off plan! Watch out....I think this little number is fast becoming an Instafamous item!

H&M top

I also succumbed to a pair of  H&M slides......typically these are nowhere to be seen on the H&M website (though these are very similar) so I've had to resort to taking a pretty picture of them....any excuse to show off my petunia's.

H&M Divided slides

Also on my wish list was a repeat purchase of this amazing stuff.....

Nuxe oil

If you haven't tried Nuxe....do get some. I can't live without it!

Last but not least....another essential. I treated myself to another of these bralettes to add to my undies draw. I don't have much of a bust and I find these give me all the support I need and they are so pretty too!

Isabella lace bralette

It was a bit of a smash a grab for me as I was only in Kent for a couple of hours but I'm really chuffed with all my #veryimportantpurchases. I would recommend a little trip to check out their VIP Fashion Gallery.....don't forget the competition to win your favourite piece ;0)

That's it for now....it's such a gorgeous day and I'm off to my daughter's last Junior school Summer Fayre. It's the end of an era. She's growing up so fast.....where does the time go?!

Enjoy the sunshine everyone, wishing you a super weekend!
