Who needs Knightsbridge? Amber Rose wears bizarre veiled cap as she shops in outer East London suburb

She's been hitting the bar and clubs of London's West End since arriving in the UK earlier this week.

So it's quite a surprise to see Amber Rose venturing out to the outer London suburb of Ilford for a spot of shopping.

The model was spotted visiting Childsplay, a designer childrenswear store in Ilford town centre, to buy gifts for her toddler son Sebastian.

Wearing a black onesie with a basecall cap with gold veil on underneath, Amber had obviously dressed for comfort for her spot of retail therapy.

Accompanied by her entourage, the mother-of-one ended up picking up quite a collection of designer items for her son.

Childsplay sells some of the world's top designer brands, including Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry.

Meanwhile, Amber exclusively told MailOnline this week that she wants to reconcile with estranged husband Wiz Khalifa. 

Last year Amber filed for divorce amid accusations her husband Wiz had cheated on her with blonde twins.

However, Amber still calls the 27-year-old rapper - father of her two-year-old son Sebastian -  the love of her life and insisted she wants to reconcile with him despite their issues.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Amber said: 'We're not back together but ideally I would like to. He's the love of my life and we have a beautiful kid together but right now we're just dating other people. 

She added: 'We're working on our friendship and co-parenting for Sebastian which is the most important thing.'

And while Amber would love to reconcile with Wiz, another famous man has caught her eye.

Revealing her celebrity crush to MailOnline, she said: 'Charlie Hunnam is so hot, he's gorgeous. I was sorry he didn't keep the Fifty Shades Of Grey role, that sucked. He's my only celebrity crush.'

Sadly for Amber, the hunky 35-year-old Sons Of Anarchy actor has been happily dating jewellery designer Morgana McNelis since 2007. 

Amber has been involved in a series of feuds with the Kardashian/Jenner family, most notably after recently slamming 17-year-old Kylie's reported relationship with Tyga, 25. 

However, the ex-girlfriend of Kim Kardashian's husband Kanye West admitted there is one way in which she would follow in the famous clan's footsteps... by becoming a momager to her child like Kris Jenner.

She said: 'I would support anything that Sebastian wants to do in life, including going in to showbiz. I would give him the pros and cons of it. 

'I would support him and definitely be his manager and ensure that no one would mess with my baby.'

Amber is renowned for her curvy figure and while she works out, she insists there is no way she would ever starve herself to maintain her physique. 

Explaining her fitness regime, she said: 'I have my son so it's like exercise all day with him. I try to hike whenever I can. I flex my stomach muscles all the time, even when I'm just sitting around talking to someone and I take the stairs whenever I can.

'I eat whatever I want but just a little bit at a time. I would never starve myself.'

Last year Amber was forced to deny claims she was romantically involved with her manager Nick Cannon but told MailOnline they have a close friendship.

'Nick is one of my favourite people in the world,' she said, 'and that's why he's my manager. He just gets it. He gets everything that I'm trying to do with my life and he facilitates it.'

While Rose says she has a number of movies in the pipeline (which she cannot talk about just yet), she has also been working on a book which she promises will be autobiographical. 

'A lot of the stories come from mistakes I have made, there are a lot of little gems about taking care of your finances, love, sex and relationships. A bit of everything.'

When asked if her exes, including Kanye, should worry that she will spill the beans on them in the tome, she coyly replied, 'You'll have to read the book to find out.'

Amber is currently hosting a series of parties in association with stylishnights in clubs across the UK until April 26.
