SORRY!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to massively apologize for not being around so much lately. It is the beginning of a new school year for me, so the adjustment has been a little hard, especially since I am living in an on-campus apartment this year and have some pretty rough classes. I will definitely be back posting very soon and have a few guides already made up in photoshop so just bear with me and this site will be back and hopping soon!!

In other Taylor news, I'm sure most of you have heard "Mine" already and I am so in love! I heard the music video leaked online but I am being patient and waiting to watch it tomorrow night when it premieres on CMT. From all the stills and the clip that was posted I am definitely excited about it since I love the song so much. The anticipation for the while CD is killing me, especially since I just pre-ordered the Sparkle Package yesterday...October please come soon! If you did not already know, you can now pre-order the album from Taylor's official online store here. They have some pretty cool packages with little extras that make me even more excited about Speak Now!!

Shopping with Toby

 On July 15th, Taylor was spotted shopping about in West Hollywood with Toby Hemingway, the hottie from her up and coming music video "Mine". She was looking super cute, as always, in this summery outfit. I know I saw the skirt a few months ago online, however, as y'all know, things don't stay on sale for very long, so I was not able to find the exact any more. Also, I know the top is from Urban Outfitters too, but it is also no longer on sale online. If you go to the actual store, you may have luck finding these items on the clearance racks....in the mean time, I was able to find some nice alternative options to copy this look.

Shopping for Produce

This past weekend during the American Independence Day long weekend, Taylor was on a tweeting spree, even posting multiple photos of what she was doing. On the 3rd, she showed us all that she went local tomato shopping, wearing a very cute summer sundress...(very appropriate because of the stiffing heat that is hitting the east coast right now!) and now you too can own the dress! I also found a steal because the dress is a bit pricey :]

Exact Dress ($128): Rugby Seersucker Cross-Back Dress

Steal Dress ($29.99): Brodie Strapless Chambray Dress

I hope all my American readers out there had a fun, safe and celebratory weekend for our country!

random pic #1

Occasionally I come across random pictures of Taylor that I really have no idea where they are from, but I love her outfit anyway! So this is the first or probably many random picture guides that I will post. I found this picture (probably taken a few weeks ago around the time of the CMT awards) and was shocked to find Taylor actually repeating clothing items. I have never seen her wear the same thing twice, so it's fun that the shirt she is wearing here, she also wore a few months ago when she went to Atlantis for spring break with Abigail! Back story aside, enjoy this cute outfit!

EDIT: I have since edited the image because I am pretty positive now that the skirt and bandeau top are the exacts that Taylor wore on this day. I was reluctant about the skirt because it is by Rugby, a brand I had never seen Taylor wear before. Because I have now found a dress she just wore to be an exact by the same brand, so it makes me very confident to say that the skirt here is also Rugby brand and an exact (she probably went on a shopping spree there!)

Exact Top ($39.10): Fluxus off white jersey hat printed pocket t-shirt

Alternative Top ($30.00): RVCA Loudmouth Deep Scoop Neck Pocket Tee in Vintage White

13 Hour Meet&Greet

Yesterday, Taylor managed to show so much love to so many fans by holding a 13 hour long meet and greet during the CMA fest in Nashville. The whole event actually lasted 14.5 hours because Taylor wanted to meet everyone who was given a wristband...amazing! Hearing more and more stories about all of it makes me so sad that I wasn't able to make it, but my awesome friend Emily (whom I have mentioned here before) actually got to attend. She didn't get a m&g, but she was super close to the stage during the live performance and even got to touch her hand!

Anyway, I was watching the live feed most of the day and knew I had to find the gorgeous dress she wore for the event...I don't know how Taylor can own so many floral sundresses, let alone that so many different ones are made! Unfortunately, it should come to no surprise to you guys that I am a poor college student and my jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I found the exact dress and saw how much it costs. When you see, you'll understand why I found a really nice steal dress for y'all :]

Exact Dress ($1,450.00): Christian Cota Convertible Strap A-Line Dress

Steal Dress ($49.99): The Joy of Gardening Dress

Shoes

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!!!

(for Haley!)

Taylor has been seen around a lot wearing these really cute sandals (she has the same shoes in teal and tan), in fact, if you were watching the 13 hour long meet and greet going on today, you may have noticed that she is wearing these shoes in the tan color currently! As requested by Haley, I tried my best to find them. I have concluded that the exact brand of the shoe a Kimchi Blue, a brand that is commonly sold at Urban Outfitters, based on the way the T-strap of the sandal goes (It's so so so similar to some other Kimchi Blue sandals that can currently be found online). Unfortunately, things go on and off that site too quickly, so they are probably not being sold anymore (though you may have luck finding them at an actual Urban Outfitters store!)...but I did find some really nice alternative options if you want to build up a nice summer sandal collection, like Taylor has!

Clarks Women's Revel Hop Sandal in Tan ($89.95)

Seychelles Women's Trip The Light Fantastic Sandal in Yellow or Aqua ($84.95)

Seychelles Huarache Heel in Teal ($98.00)

Pikolinos 'Turin' Mary Jane Pump in Brandy ($149.95)

Chelsea Crew '40s Heel in Tan or Green ($68.00)

Kelly & Katie Clover Sandal in Tan ($49.95)

happy shopping!

The Lace Top

Taylor has been seen out and about Nashville the past few days, not really surprising though since the CMA Festival began officially yesterday. Earlier this week some lucky fans ran into her walking down the street and another fan bumped into her while driving. What was surprising was that she was wearing the same shirt (just in different colors!) on both occasions!! Lucky for us, I was able to find this wicked awesome shirt including both colors Tay was seen wearing, so now you can steal her style again!

Lace top ($38.00): Free People 3/4 Sleeve Scandalous Lace Top (in Ivory and Tangerine)
