Taylor Swift's Style

Hi hi hello! :D Today's blog post is going to be all about Taylor Swift's style. I absolutely love her style, and she is probably my style icon. She is definitely super fashionable and looks amazing all the time.  Her style is very vintage inspired as well as feminine and girly. She always look sophisticated and classy, with an interesting twist. I chose a few of my favorite outfits she's worn to share with you:


                                    Pretty in Pink

This is a more recent photo of Taylor at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards. She is wearing a beautiful light pink dress by Maria Lucia Hohan that is so gorgeous.  It features sheer draping, a sweetheart neckline with sheer straps, and a flowing skirt that landed just above Taylor's knees and looked beautiful.  It also has a twisted detail on the waist, to accentuate her tiny figure, plus an exposed back for a more sexy feel. She paired it with some sequin peep toe heels, a gold bracelet, and a pair of straight up pastel pink stone earrings with a hint of golden sparkle that Taylor loves. Her makeup was just her signature eye with winged eyeliner and dramatic lashes paired with a light pink lip gloss. Her hair was pulled to the side in a low up-do that looked gorgeous.  Overall, she looked very feminine and girly and was probably best dressed at the Teen Choice Awards. :) 


Modern Princess


Taylor looked stunning at the National Symphony Ball. She was wearing a pretty princess dress with beautiful detailing on the bodice as well as a feminine sweetheart neckline and a layered full skirt that definitely stood out and stole the show. The only accessories were simply a pair of earrings and a bracelet.  Her makeup was natural and glowing.  :D This look was completely perfect in every way. :) 

NYC Sunshine


While walking around NYC, Taylor wore a cable knit sweater, a high fitted waist pleated skirt in a beautiful yellow color, and finished off the look with a bright blue shoulder bag and a pair of red heels. She also wore some pearl earrings that I love. Her makeup was stunning with a bold red lip that Taylor rocks a lot. Her hair was pulled back in a nice up-do and if you look really closely, you can see the number 13 written on her hand, which is her lucky number if you didn't already know. 

Sophisti-chic


Taylor looked gorgeous at her in store appearance at Sephora in Glendale, California for the launch of her perfume, Wonderstruck, which btw I love so much. She was wearing a beautiful champagne colored dress with a bit of shimmer. It has a beautiful silhouette and landed mid-thigh. The bow detail on the waist, emphasizes Taylor's tiny waistline, as well as add a special touch.  She chose a pair of sparkly silver heels, a bracelet, and a pair of diamond earrings that paired perfectly with the dress, to accessorize. Her makeup was neutral with a pop of pink on her lips, and her curly hair was in a low up-do.  She just looked so feminine and chic, like she always does. 

Stunning Sparkle 


 Taylor looked super stylish at the CMA Awards in 2009. Now, this was a while back, but she still looked great. She wore a dress with a form-fitting top and flowy skirt, the usual, but the bodice had glitter all over it. It went a little bit down the dress in spiky looking strips of sparkle. This made the dress more edgy and modern, in a way Taylor could totally rock. The colors in the dress were still neutral with a beautiful gold and light brownish nude. Accessory wise, she wore a simple bracelet and pair of earrings to finish off the look. We didn't see her shoes, but they were probably pretty cute. :) Her makeup was soft and her hair was pushed into an up-do. She looked amazing and glowed from head to toe. 



So, those were just a few of my favorite Taylor Swift looks. I absolutely love her style, but I did manage to narrow it down to my top 5, as you saw above.  I had fun writing this and I hope you love it as much as I do. Be sure to leave a comment of some of your favorite Taylor Swift looks.  I would love to see them. Thanks for reading! Bye!! :D

Interview with Macbarbie07!!

I recently talked to Bethany Mota aka Macbarbie07, on Kik. If you aren't familiar with her, she is a very well-known beauty guru on youtube. She is 16 years old. She makes videos to share her love of beauty and fashion with the world and inspire people. She is a Seventeen magazine beauty smartie as well as a Myglam stylist. She is also currently starring on Awesomeness TV (youtube) on the shows IMO and Make Me Over. She is also part of the fawn- For All Women Network- team on youtube. She's worked with people such as Michelle Phan, Daniella Monet, and Rebecca Robeson of Robeson Design Studios.  Overall, Bethany is such a great girl with a passion for all things beauty and fashion. I absolutely love watching her videos and following all her social networks.  So, I asked her a few questions that I thought would be interesting: 

Glittery Gemini: What is your favorite beauty product that you can't live without?


Bethany: That's hard to choose! But I'll have to say mascara! It really opens up your eyes. 


GG: What are your 3 fashion essentials that every girl should have? 


Beth: Comfy jeans/shorts, toms or flats, crop tops are my favorite! But you always should wear accessories! It adds a little flare. 


GG: What are your favorite makeup brands? 


Beth: Well I actually like a lot... It'll have to be Mac! (: 


GG: What is your favorite color? 


Beth: Pink!!! 

GG: Who is your style icon? 


Beth: I'll have to say Selena Gomez or Kendall. 


G
G: What are your favorite stores to shop at? 

Beth: Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters are my favorite! 


That's it! :D I hope you enjoyed this interview and there will be more to come, so stay tuned for more fun interviews with the people you love. :) 

First Blog Post

Hey guys! It's Lexi and welcome to my new blog, called Glittery Gemini!! I am so happy to finally make a beauty/fashion blog. I actually had 2 other blogs on tumblr before I made this one. Those weren't really focused on anything  beauty or fashion related, but I ended up writing a few blog posts all about certain makeup that I was loving at the time. I never really kept writing new blog posts after those, which I wasn't working on for too long. I just wasn't too happy with them and didn't have a passion for blogging anymore. So, I took a long break from blogging. Now, I am ready to start blogging again. I will blog about anything I feel like, whether it's about a new beauty product I'm trying, or a fashion trend that's currently popular.  I will try my best to blog regularly and I will put very much effort in every blog post I write. I hope you enjoy reading my blog, and have a great time! :D
