Another lovely and quality time we have spent in London Regent park . We have visited Queen Mary's Gardens
The Regent's Park, designed by John Nash, covers 395 acres and includes Queen Mary's Gardens which features more than 12,000 roses of 400 varieties, as well as the gloriously restored William Andrews Nesfield's Avenue Gardens.
With excellent sports facilities spanning nearly 100 acres it includes the largest outdoor sports area in central London.
The park also houses the Open Air Theatre, London Zoo, Primrose Hill, the country's largest free to access waterfowl collection and 100 species of wild bird.Queen Mary's Garden is a world-famous garden named after the wife of King George V. In 1932 when Queen Mary's Gardens opened to the general public, the first superintendent planted a rose garden which was completed in 1934.
The rose garden is London's largest collection of roses with approximately 12,000 roses planted within the gardens. There are 85 single variety beds on display, including one which is home to our very own 'Royal Parks' rose. Examples of most rose varieties, from the classics to the most modern English roses, are present in the gardens.
Roses are not the only treasure of the gardens. The Delphinium border has full National Collection status. The Mediterranean Borders are well established, and the Begonia Garden, with its 9,000 begonias, is twice yearly planted with seasonal bedding.
Shrubberies are strategically designed and located to add a sense of mystery and privacy to the gardens.
The rich sights and scents of these marvellous plants play such an important part in the delightful experience of visiting Queen Mary's Gardens. Benches are available for visitors to sit and enjoy the garden.
To see the best blooms visit the park in the first two weeks of June.
London's largest and best rose garden. It has good collections of all the main rose types, arranged in a design which responds to the circular site. The planting was renewed by the landscape architects, Colvin and Moggridge, in the 1990s.

I was wearing causal outfit which included Ted Baker purple blazer with Ted Baker skinny jeans and LK Bennett purple top with Ted Baker leather small satchel  bag and complement with comfortable Miu Miu suede pumps and silk floral scarf in shades of blue ,green,pink and purple.

Royal Ascot experience from 2015

Ascot Racecourse is a British racecourse, located in Bracknell, England, used for thoroughbred horse racing.

It is one of the leading racecourses in the United Kingdom, hosting nine of Britain's 32 annual Group 1 horse races.

The course, owned by Ascot Racecourse Ltd, enjoys close associations with the British Royal Family, being approximately six miles from Windsor Castle

The Royal Ascot is the centrepiece of Ascot's year and dates back to 1711 when it was founded by Queen Anne. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by Elizabeth II and other members of the British Royal Family such as The Prince of Wales, arriving each day in a horse-drawn carriage with the Royal procession taking place at the start of each race day and the raising of the Queen's Royal Standard.

The Royal Enclosure is the most prestigious of the three enclosures, with recent visits from the Queen and Royal Family members. Access to the Royal Enclosure is restricted, with high security on the day.

Royal Ascot is synonymous with sartorial elegance. This is upheld by the special dress code, which invites guests to contribute to an occasion heralded as a major fashion event in its own right.

What you wear to Royal Ascot is as important as what you win at this world-famous race meet.  This key social event in the British sporting calendar is not only a show-ground for some of the most brilliant racehorses in the world but also a fashion parade for racegoers.

Royal Ascot demands race dresses and dressy day-wear – whatever type of ticket you may have purchased be warned that dress codes must be strictly adhered to. The racecourse does have a right to refuse entry if people are not suitably attired.

So – what should you wear? As usual, for men, it's easy. A smart suit and tie is the norm but top hat and tails ( black or grey morning dress) is required if you’re in the Royal Enclosure.

For ladies – it's a whole different matter. For guests entering the Royal Enclosure – there’s rules as to how much flesh is exposed. Not a bad thing as the flat landscape of Ascot often allows a chilly wind to whip up across the course.

Bear in mind that dresses that are off-the-shoulder, halter-neck or have spaghetti straps or straps thinner than one inch are not considered suitable. Miniskirts are also frowned on as is exposing your midriff! Shorts are a definite no-no.

The answer is a formal outfit – dress and bolero jacket ideally.  It is advisable to go to a special occasion boutique to find such outfits. If you buy from the high street, you run the risk of seeing lots of other women in the same dress as you. Nightmare!

If you're not in the Royal Enclosure, dress codes still apply. Smart day-wear is a must for Premier admission ticket holders and the advice for Grandstand is to "dress in a manner that befits a formal occasion"and don a hat or fascinator at all times. Overseas visitors are welcome to wear the formal national dress of their country or service dress but fancy dress is not allowed during Royal Ascot week. And finally, don't forget – a big handbag to take home all your winnings!

It was a really coincidence that day as We both Queen and I have decided to wear outfits in similar tone colours-fuchsia .

The day which I have picked for races was warm and sunny. I was wearing beautiful Ted Baker Tarren Wispy Meadow Print floral dress with fuchsia blazer from Benetton and matching Russell and Bromley wedges sandals and Monsoon head fascinator with light pink leather chain clutch from Yves Saint Lauren.

Ted Baker London's love of fresh yet nostalgic floral prints characterises this architecturally seamed V-neck dress belted at the finely pleated skirt.

Taking inspiration from a field of flowers Featuring a vibrant botanical print, a pleated skirt and a chic bright pink skinny belt, this style ensures you a place in the spotlight at any important social even like Ascot races.

• Ted Baker crepe dress
• Concealed hook-and-eye and zip fastening
• V-neck, sleeveless, darts and panelling at bodice, buckle belt at waistband, contrasting pleated skirt, floral print, partially lined
• 96% polyester, 4% elastane; 52% polyester, 48% recycled polyester; lining 96% polyester, 4% elastane
• Dry clean

The dress on the own is so romantic, fresh, rejuvenating and innocent but the special prepared accessories and matching extras making this dress even more special for this type of occasion .

The ascot is like a big fashion show and parade when women trying to compete which each other to better stand out from the crowd and it is possible to see many different types of dresses and head decorations, some of them really extravagant and different but some of them are more standard, simple, pure and classic elegance. Usually dominate pastels light summery colours but sometimes we can see black dresses with some contrasting colouring accents.

Beautiful dress accompaniment by pink fuchsia blazer from Benetton . Gold threat and buttons plus frayed finish. Adorable by pink patent leather open toe silver wedges sandals Russell and Bromley. 

Benetton Group S.p.A.  is a global fashion brand, based in Ponzano Veneto, Italy. The name comes from the Benetton family who founded the company in 1965. Benetton has a network of about 6,000 stores in the main international markets. The stores generate a total turnover of 1.6 billion euros.
In 1963, Luciano Benetton, the oldest of four children, was a 30-year-old salesman in Treviso. He saw a market for colourful clothes, and sold a younger brother's bicycle in order to buy his first second-hand knitting machine. His initial small collection of sweaters received a positive response in local stores in the Veneto region, and soon after he asked his sister and two younger brothers, Gilberto and Carlo, to join him. In 1965, the entity known as the "Benetton Group" was formed

Finding fashion forward women's clothing from Benetton is never a difficult task. This luxurious brand is known the world over for its use of vibrant colours and beautiful designs. Taking its cue from no one else, Benetton has become one of the key authorities in fashion innovation and the popularity of this brand is undeniable.

There was a time in the ‘90s when darkness was all the rage and pink had a bad rep. Enter Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson. Unimpressed and distressed by the too-serious state of the cosmetics industry, they longed to start a company that brought back unapologetic glamour and femininity. Inspired by a love of Paris, unabashed girliness and the transformative power of cosmetics, they created Too Faced, a boutique brand with big dreams. Today, Too Faced has grown into a leader within the beauty industry, creating innovative cruelty-free cosmetics that women love to wear.


With Jeremy as CEO/Action Man and Jerrod as Chief Creative Officer/Dreamer, their rebellious spirit, visionary focus and unexpected humour define the brand to this day.

Must Have summer product! The colour is SO beautiful! I  LOVE shimmer & glitter, this stuff has the most gorgeous bronze shimmer and makes your skin look amazing! Smells like a pina colada or tropic adventure.
It gives the skin a nice healthy glow. It's nice that it washes off and it's not a permanent commitment.
The scent is fantastic, but subtle. And it doesn't irritate sensitive skin. The most important  part that not making your skin look like orange just give delicate shimmer and tan plus good hydration to the skin. Perfect on holiday or after winter when you want to expose legs. I always hated the artificial tan products which smell horrible and never covered skin perfectly 
Awesome product just small warning is bit messy do not drop on the clothes as very difficult to wash out of the garment .I managed to damage my new dress as did not want come out and finally I used too strong cleaner which removed the colour from the fabric but the stain from this bronzer was still there. Once is on skin absorbed quickly and gives you glamorous gold sparkly tan.

I have a big sentiment to a Dior cosmetics however this time I should see a tester before commit the purchase.

Peplum ivory dress in the meadow !!!

Flowers and nature are beautiful backgrounds for the photos . Special when they are so colourful like the ones below.

Ted Baker - DEBE - Peplum detail dress

Gorgeous dress, looks even better on. Great fit and the fabric is very good quality and quiet heavy and thick. Perfect for british chilly summer.

The visible gold zips giving to the dress unique and classy character.

I was sceptical as I am not a passionate person about peplum style as my waist is wide and this type of garment giving optically even more centimeters there but this one I really like and feel like wearing two skirts one of the top of other and flared flounce .

British Ciara milk -metallic cowboy style ankle boots
