50 shades of purple and grey

Another super occasion for the celebration was on my birthday day. I have went to the Shard building to Aqua restaurant. It was there a very beautiful view but really spoiled by rainy and cloudy english weather.

Standing 309.6 metres (1,016 ft) high, the Shard is the tallest building in London and is currently the 87th tallest building in the world, the tallest building in the European Union and the fourth tallest building in Europe. 

The glass-clad pyramidal tower has 72 habitable floors, with a viewing gallery and open-air observation deck on the 72nd floor, at a height of 244.3 metres (802 ft). It was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano and replaced Southwark Towers, a 24-storey office block built on the site in 1975.

THE VISION FOR THE SHARD WAS TO CREATE AN ARCHITECTURALLY STRIKING VERTICAL CITY INCORPORATING RETAIL, OFFICES, HOTEL, APARTMENTS, RESTAURANTS AND A PUBLIC VIEWING GALLERY

Irvine Sellar, The Shard’s developer and joint owner, had an ambitious vision to create an architecturally striking vertical city incorporating retail, offices, hotel, apartments, restaurants and a public viewing gallery. His idea was to build a diverse vibrant community, and provide multiple areas within which the public could experience the building and its magnificent views. And all of this astride one of London’s major transport hubs.

We had a lovely lunch there and have admired the views over the centre and heart of London 
The food  was not very filling but served and decorated in the nice and sophisticated artistic way. It was a small portion of each course but all were very tasty.

For that special visit I was wearing Ted Baker Raisie floral body con dress. I think for my body shape version of skater style would look better on. I fall in love with this print and bough also matching bikini set for upcoming holiday.
RAISIE
Shadow Floral midi dress
Get set to stun with RAISIE. Adorned with Ted's signature Shadow Floral print, this form-fitting midi dress hugs the figure in all the right places.Complete with v-neckline, cap sleeve styling and exposed metallic zip fastening the the back.
This beautiful print features colourful opulent blooms and is from the new season womenswear collection. The classic shape is perfect for workwear, or team with jewellery and a compact clutch for glamorous evening wear. Offset its opulent blooms with a simple pair of heeled courts. On photo below with purple satin heels from LK Bennett. On the event I had to wear black high boots due to  the very bad weather. Unfortunately fitting shape is not one of my favourites 

Later one we were eating custom make cake from Patisserie Valerie London

Lovingly handmade cakes 

Patisserie Valerie was first opened in Frith Street in London's Soho in 1926 by Belgian born Madam Valerie. She came to London on a mission to introduce fine Continental Patisserie to the English. It was an instant success.

During the Second World War the Frith Street premises were bombed by the Luftwaffe and Madam Valerie subsequently set up shop around the corner in Old Compton Street where her legacy continues to this day in our Soho branch.

The unique café-atmosphere includes the decor left over from the 1950's epitomised by the now famous Toulouse-Lautrec style cartoons by Terron.

In our havens of self-indulgence, you will discover only the best quality cakes and patisserie, continental breakfasts, lunches, the finest teas and coffees and an atmosphere that is unique to each location.We've worked hard to achieve an international reputation and this has been built on the quality of our products which we hand make ourselves using artisan craft bakery skills and only ever using fresh ingredients and traditional baking methods resulting in award-winning croissants and viennoiserie.

I have bough above dress on the January sale with the few other items. Couple of weeks ago We went to a Bicester village and I have found  vintage jacquard sweatshirt which suit my taste.
The most nice designed and artistic fitting room what I have seen so far is in Ted Baker store there. I always enjoy visiting there.
Beautiful wallpaper with birds and the special light make the room really vintage and magical .

As a jewellery was Ti Sento Milan pearl pedant on grey string. Could be also with silver Miu Miu eye cat retro vintage sunglasses and black-silver Pewter Miu Miu ankle boots carefully decorated with diamonds in the heel.

Before the end as We are still in a purple and grey mood I will quickly show some of art fashion inspiration which I have created recently.

Lovely purple printed tunic dress Wickmere from british Joules which I have bought long time ago and kept for a while deep in the wardrobe. I have also other dress from the same brand . The purple tunic look lovely with purple wax Anna jeans from Ted Baker and same boots like before. The spectacular accent is my new turquoise pair of geometric sunnies from Miu Miu range. 

Merging a super high fashion look with a quirky edge, these Miu Miu  Geometric Sunglasses  could not be more obvious as descendants from the Prada family tree.

Miu Miu is the baby of Miuccia Prada, grand-daughter of the infamous fashion icon Mario Prada.  Her contemporary luxury brand has made its’ mark as being forward-thinking and incredibly chic with these Miu Miu sunglasses being no exception. The unique geometric pentagonal eye-pieces are feminine and flirty in a textured turquoise-teal with pink grey gradient lenses, gold wire arms and turquoise temple tips. These Miu Miu sunglasses are also kept safe in a chic gold velvet case.

This is the other dress from Joules,this time wrap type with beautiful flowers on a grey background. Very causal and soft jersey dresses perfect for informal meetings or weekend adventures  

Established in Great Britain over 25 years ago and crafted with true British style and eccentricity, Joules designs upbeat, colourful clothing, footwear and accessories for women, men and children who live life to the full.

Here below another piece of art . Romantic set of deep purple Triumph bra with flower cardigan decorated all over with silk roses. The lilac Wendea Ted Baker cardigan is from the same colour range like the Raisie dress. Sunlit floral panel wrap cardigan. Ted’s gardens are rich with seasonal blooms, the likes of which inspire pieces like this bouquet-bedecked knit. WENDEA is a cardigan with a difference, defined by a floral-print panel at the reverse. It makes for a blooming stylish exit.
