Taylor's Street Style - January

We're taking a look at some of the candids taken of Taylor back in January and the amazing outfits she was wearing. This is really the first time we saw her move from the RED era into the 5th era.

I love the skater skirt with the denim shirt that is of course tucked in. I also love that Taylor added a pop of color to this outfit with statement shoes. Of course I'm not surprised that the color of these shoes is red. They remind me of the amazing red oxfords Tay wears during the RED Tour. I'm obsessed with those shoes.

 She seriously looks like a model...Taylor this is life not a photoshoot....

I also love this black on black look. It's the first time I can remember seeing Taylor wearing such a dark look, but I love it. I love that she's wearing a short skirt, with tights so it looks modest, and a black top with a black blazer. The shoes look like a dark burgundy or brown, but I like that they break up all the black.

This dress that Tay wore when she went to lunch with Jaime King was adorable. It's very short but that is balanced out by the long sleeves and the color. I like that Taylor does that with her outfits. She only shows off one thing at a time, arms/upper body or legs. That keeps her looking modest and classy and far from trashy.

Finally, I love that she wore a cardigan with shorts. I love this look. I also love that she chose to wear brown combat boots with it instead of oxfords. Don't get me wrong, I love the oxfords and Keds, but it's really refreshing to see Taylor in footwear that is completely unexpected.

13 Fun Facts - May

Another month is here and it is time for another round of 13 Fun Facts so let's get right down to the good stuff....


1) “Love Story” is about a guy that Taylor dated that none of her family liked. They thought he was a creep, “and he was, but I loved him,” she said laughing.

2) Tay said she “typically never” has a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day

3) Taylor has never yelled at a boyfriend. “I’m not a yeller. If something’s done, it’s done.”

4) When Taylor hugs fans ,she often smells to see if they’re wearing one of her perfumes

5) Taylor has a pair of flats that say “fairy tales are true” on the inside

6) She has a younger cousin named Chandler who was in a Jr. Miss America pageant

7) Taylor’s 3rd favorite song in 2009 was “Blush (Only You)” by Plumb

8) Luna Halo covered Taylor’s version of “Untouchable”

9) Taylor wrote a song called “This is Really Happening” and sold it to Britini Hoover. Britini recorded it on her 2007 album Country Strong

10) Taylor’s back-up singers for the RED Tour call themselves “The Starlights”

11) Tay keeps her Grammy’s on her piano and looks at them while she plays

12) Her favorite song from her debut album is “Cold As You”

13) Jennifer Lawrence is one of her favorite actresses



The quote for the month comes from a tweet Taylor posted back in 2009. "We wish because we need help and we're scared and we know we may be asking too much."

 I really love this quote because it is so true. Everyone needs help, but we are also too scared to as for it because we might be asking too much of the other person. All I know for sure is that it's ok to ask for help. Never think you are asking too much by reaching out to someone. Everyone needs a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on at some point in their lives and someday you will be strong enough to be that for another person.

Have a great month

Love,

C&C

Met Gala 2014

The Met Gala was last night and boy did Taylor bring her "A" game. The Met Gala is like the Oscars of fashion and Taylor could have taken home the top prize (there isn't really a prize, but she looked amazing).

Aside from her gorgeous dress & her flawless hair/makeup, the night was also a big one for Taylena. The ladies' friendship has been the center of a lot of fighting rumors lately, and last night those rumors were put to rest. Don't believe me? Head over to Selena's Instagram and see the adorable video she posted herself. Selena wasn't Taylor's only bestie there. She got ready with Karlie Kloss and spent a lot of the night with her. I also believe they arrived together (that would make sense since they got ready together...). Hailee Steinfeld was also there and even though there is no photographic evidence, I am sure she and Tay hung out. The same goes for Dianna Agron and Emma Stone. Now let's take a better look into Taylor's night in pictures...

Taylor even stopped on the red carpet to shake the hand of an NYPD Officer

 Here's Taylor and Karlie clowning around with Tay's new publicist Tree Paine

The quote of the month is, "In a relationship each person should support each other; they should lift each other up."

That is a very important part of a relationship. You want to be around people who are building you up, not people who are tearing you down.

In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up.

And now the quote of the month.... "You can only appreciate happiness if you've experienced hardship and sadness."
