Taylor Swift in Zuhair Murad gown

Love. this. gown. Once again, Taylor Swift looks utterly stunning. 

She wore this nude and sparkly Zuhair Murad gown for the 2012 Grammy Awards. Just look at the intricate details on it! The beautiful gold and rose-gold beading...absolutely gorgeous! This dress kind of gives me a Chinese feel. Probably because of the high neckline. It resembles a chi pao to me.

It is amazing how Taylor manages to look so fabulous all the time. Her songs are always hits. She is also one of those few singers who successfully stay clear of trouble and scandals (think Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus). That's gotta earn her loads of good points I would say :)

Tibi dress: Blake vs Taylor

I was browsing through a celebrity website when I saw this picture of Blake Lively and Taylor Swift.

Both Blake and Taylor wore similar Tibi dresses. Needless to say, they both look smashing in their prim, embroidered cap-sleeve frocks. Blake's dress is more of a cornflower blue while Taylor's dress is teal.

Blake went for a more sexy style. She paired the dress with fabulous Charlotte Olympia leopard pumps. Nothing adds more "oomph" than leopard prints! 

Taylor, on the other hand, was the epitome of sweet. She added a slim, metalic belt around her waist and wore muted heels accented with a bow.

Personally, I prefer Taylor's choice of style over Blake's. But one thing is for sure - The frocks complement their blue eyes and blond hair so well!

Celebrity Inspiration - Vanessa Hudgens

Okay, I admit that I'm not a big fan of Vanessa Hudgens. But what I do like about her is her superb fashion sense. This gal is known for her Bohemian style which I adore.

Her outfits are all casual but undeniably chic. I freaking love her grey fringe bag! It completes the Bohemian look. Needless to say, a fringe bag is on my to-buy list :)

Vanessa shines on red carpet events as well. Here are some of her fabulous dresses which caught my eye:

White tiered chiffon Jenny Packham dress with Diego Dolcini gold peep-toe pumps

Alberta Ferretti dress

Marc Bouwer mini dress

In a cute turquoise dress

Christian Dior mini dress

I totally fawned over her Jenny Packham and Alberta Ferretti outfits. Her Jenny Packham chiffon frock is delicate and sweet. Love her subtle makeup too! Her body-hugging Alberta Ferretti dress, on the other hand, is utterly glamorous. Perfect for a red carpet event.

I also like how Vanessa plays around with colors. Unlike some celebrities, she does not stick to the same boring colors when it comes to her dresses. This bold chick is willing to experiment with different shades of colors. Take her bright turquoise dress for example. 

All in all, Vanessa is the epitome of fabulousity when is comes to fashion!

Elie Saab Dresses

Elie Saab is one of my favourite fashion designers. He is a renowned Lebanese whose designs are favoured by many celebrities. When browsing through major events where celebrities flaunt their fantabulous attires, I tend to scrutinize those who are clad in Elie Saab. His dresses and gowns are typically flowy, romantic and just drop dead gorgeous! Here are some celebs who favour his creations:

Taylor Swift

Scarlett Johansson

Here's a close up picture of Scarlett's dress. The glittery details are really magnificient. They show how much effort has been put into producing the dress. When I first saw this dress, what came into my mind was "delicate" and "elegant". These elaborated details really make a huge difference in the design. They give the dress a special and glamorous touch.

I was captivated by the Elie Saab dress which Scarlett wore to the Oscars this year. It is simply stunning! I especially love the painstalkingly intricate lace flower patterns on her dress. The bareback design provides a sexy look. I also like the pinkish purple shade of this dress as it adds a nice tint of sweetness.

Mila Kunis
Another dress at the Oscars which caught my eye was the one worn by Mila Kunis. She was practically glowing in this dress. I love how it just flows. The sheer parts of the dress makes it sizzle. And yet, the pastel color screams sweet and dreamy.


That is what I like about Elie Saab's dresses. He is a genius who creates beautiful dresses which combine sexy and sweet elements. The colors he chooses for his creations are F-A-B! Here are some of the Elie Saab Couture 2010 Spring Collection dresses which I fell in love with:

Wonderful, aren't they?

Celebrity Inspiration -- Taylor Swift

Whether it comes to songs or fashion, Taylor Swift never fails to impress. Her songs are typically reflections of her own life and this gives them a personal touch. I particularly like "Love Story" and "Mine". Fashion wise, she is awesome too! I'm always amazed by her choice of dresses, especially her signature glittery dresses. Dresses with glitter can sometimes make a person look trashy but that does not happen with Taylor. She always looks so effortlessly elegant and chic. So here are some pictures of Taylor's glittery dresses which I really love:

Collette Dinnigan dress and Prada heels

Reem Acra gown

Kaufman Franco gown (Isn't this just gorgeous???)

Taylor's non-glittery outfits are also fabulous. I love how she completes the boho look with this attire and makeup. Dark eyes with a touch of red on the lips. Jadore her bag as well :)

Here are some of her other marvelous outfits:

Miu Miu dress and Christian Louboutins heels

Ralph Lauren gown

Jenny Packham mini dress and Christian Louboutins

Monique Lhuillier gown and Jimmy Choo sandals

I have noticed that Taylor usually keeps her look simple. No chunky jewelery or bizarre dresses. I love her makeup too. Neutral eyeshadows + eyeliner + red lips = fantabulous! She also has that radiant, dewy complexion which makes her seem to glow *envy :(*  That's what I like about Taylor. She proves that you don't need loads of makeup or over-the-top outfits to make you stand out.
