What to wear in Autumn

What to wear in Autumn Nothing says Autumn quite like the sartorial excellence of Burberry, who, year after year send the same iconic coat silhouette down the runway and still have everyone hungry for more... Hello everyone! Today, as I was putting away my summer wardrobe and getting out the Autumnal pieces, I thought it would be interesting to show what I love to wear in Autumn, its my favourite season for dressing so what could be better? Recently, the weathers' been cooler and less sunny here in the UK, so a warmer wardrobe is officially needed! Firstly, I am quite a smart dresser, so apologies of you prefer a more sporty or casual look, but that's just not me. This list is more for someone who dresses quite classic and smart, but I assure you every one of theses pieces can be dressed down.  Lets Begin! (tap/click pictures to buy) Number One: a good coat And by good, I mean something made of wool, tailored and super classic. I love a double breasted wool coat, ...

Top things to do In New York City

Top Things To do in New York City Hello again! Apologies for not posting in a while, I've been busy with school summer work and I was also on holiday but I'm back! For more regular updates, please follow my instagram @planetstevens In April, I went to New York with my family for the first time and, 6 months on, I thought I'd reflect on the trip by compiling a list of the things we felt were so worth doing. I loved my time there and honestly would recommend a trip to the Big Apple, it was truly special! Pictures all taken by me 1. An open top bus trip (best for beginners) This was probably the best thing to do if you've never been before simply because it really lets you see the city and its icons easily and quickly, its also good value and the one we did them from a company called Grayline (http://www.grayline.com/things-to-do/united-states/new-york-city/) and they were one of the best parts of the trip. Also, they are hop on hop off, which makes getting ...

DIY: Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Personalisation

DIY: Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Personalisation Louis Vuitton has a personalisation service whereby you can get several stripes, as well as 3 initials painted on some of their bags and accessories in the Monogram and Damier Graphite canvas prints. I think the designs are screen printed over the canvas (because they are so flawless and are very uniform) using special pigment before being varnished, so I decided to try it myself!    Louis Vuitton's Passport cover with Mon Monogram Sadly I don't have the means to screen print myself, so I decided to paint them instead. You will need; Acrylic paint, I find the vibrant colours and white look the best (Acrylic paint is very hardwearing so will not need touching up very often) Paintbrushes (the smaller the better) Tape (to get crisp lines, frog tape works really well) Something to paint on (a cardholder or pencil case are great, but you could do it on pretty much anything) A pencil (to draw out the sh...

Current favourites (July 2017)

Current Favourites - July 2017 Hello Folks! Today I'm gonna show you some things I've been currently loving, there's a LOT of beauty, pretty much sums up my spending habits haha 1. Mitchum Advanced Control "Ice Fresh" Totally glam start I know but seriously though, this is the BEST Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant ever! sweat control all day, and pleasant scent, a total must have for summer (and all year round because EW) Honestly can't recommend Mitchum enough, seriously good stuff! 2. Chanel No5 L'Eau like I said in my Perfume blog post, this is such a lovely summer scent that does not overpower you  but still gives you a clean, fresh scent without smelling like your 100 year old ancestors! One spray goes a long way and for me it has quite a good lasting power, 5-6 hours!  3. Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner I love this toner so much, i have combination to normal skin and this is clarifying without drying (hurrah!!) I...

A weekend in Brighton

A weekend in Brighton A few weeks ago, armed with my trusty weekender, I went down to the south coast to look at the University of Brighton with my Mum. We stayed at the modern Malmaison Hotel in Brighton's Marina, and walked along the beach to get into the town, as it is somewhat far out. We arrived on Satuarday morning and in an attempt to not shop, we went to the Brighton Pavillion that was created as the fashionable seaside residence of King George IV, and was finshed in 1815. I loved the visit, and would recommend! Here is a basic history of The Pavilion. John Nash, one of the most famed Regency architects was given the challenge of giving the Pavilion an oriental look by the King. It was a very fashionable architectural style and showed how well traveled you were, as it was unlike that seen in Britain at the time. The pavilion is rather different to what is seen on most other buildings in Brighton, they reflect a slightly earlier style, inspir...
