Style Icon: The Evolution of Taylor Swift

Those who know me know how much it breaks my heart to say this, but it's true.  She always looks f-cking incredible.

It really wasn't that long ago that small town 17 year-old Taylor Swift dressed horribly.  When she had that horrible kinky hair and always wore blue glittery eye shadow with cowboy boots.

Then she presumably got a stylist and turned 18 and figured out that it wasn't okay to dress like that and cowboy boots are horrible.  She grew up a little bit and straightened her hair and stopped dressing like she was going to her prom in Tennessee.  And things started to turn around.

Now, she's a rock star.  No pun intended.  She's mastered the casual jeans look.  

She's mastered the business casual look.

She's mastered the fun flirty look.

She's mastered the casual sophisticated urbanite look.

She's mastered the Kate Moss meets Keira Knightley look.

Then the red carpet looks started to change.

Then, things got realllllly good.  And Tay went from being a typical teenage Nashville resident to being chic as f-ck.  

Good job Taylor, you've come a long way.

What's New: Housewives, Seflies, Taylor Swift Makes Me Laugh, And More

So I've been incredibly ill with both flu and strep for like months now and that's why I haven't written anything and I'm the worst and I'm sorry.  But I'm pretty much back to being my normal happy, healthy, and chipper self.  So let's talk about what's happened since I've been gone.



Real Housewives of Beverly Hills- It's back. So is Vanderpump rules.  Which is basically the Jersey Shore but in LA and with hotter people.  RHOBH is amazing and I love it and it's my second favorite Housewives behind New York, which isn't even good anymore.  So maybe it is my favorite.  Plus Taylor Armstrong is gone which is good news and they have two new housewives, one I love and one I hate.  And that's basically all I could ever ask for.

Selfies- Tragically, the Oxford Dictionary has decided that this is the new word of 2013.  Twerking was a runner up, so it could be worse.  If you don't know what a selfie is, you're embarrassing.  Go away.

Taylor Swift- She says she doesn't write songs about every guy she dates.  Which means that she's either lying or a way bigger skank than I thought.  Either way I feel happy.  Read the article here.

The Notebook, Part 2- Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are allegedly back together.  This is amazing news for women 12-92 who have seen The Notebook and want this to be real life.  As an adult woman, I am obviously super on board for this because they are the two cutest people maybe ever.  

It's A Terrible Life- One of the greatest movies ever, "It's a Wonderful Life" is rumored to be getting a sequel.  This is the most depressed I've been since I found out Miley Cyrus wore this.

JLaw- Jennifer Lawrence has weird hair which is stupid but she looks hot which is badass.

Footnote:
A bunch of other stuff has happened but this is literally all I care about in life so let's just move on.

What's New: More Kardashians, 50 Shades of Who Cares, etc.

The Kardashian Klan (Yes I know, calm down): Obviously because Kris Jenner is nothing but a money-grubbing succubus, she has announced that she will show EVERY SECOND of the disintegration of her marriage.  This is totally expected, given that they showed Kim's wedding, Kourtney yanking a baby of herself, Khloe home waxing her Britney, etc.  Whatever.

Charlie Hunnam: So the super hot guy from Sons of Anarchy. which I've never seen and don't care about, was supposed to be Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Grey and now he's not.  Apparently that Sons of Anarchy show is a big deal so he doesn't have time for stupid movies for desperate and horny middle-aged housewives.  Cool.  Hopefully they cast someone awesome, for example, ANYONE but Ian Somerhalder. 
Side note: The chick that is supposed to play Anastasia Steele is named Dakota Johnson.  She was on a show called Ben and Kate but it got cancelled because it was bad.  Anyway, one day I was looking up her age because she looks 37 on a good day.  She just turned 24.  I'm sure she's lovely but while they're at it, they should probably re-cast the role of Anastasia as well.

Laguna Beach's LC: Lauren Conrad is engaged.  Hopefully this relationship is more successful than the other 18 that I witnessed on tv when I was a kid.

Michael Douglas Is Gross and Weird: It turns out Michael Douglas has tongue cancer instead of throat cancer.  I don't know or care what that means but I feel like lying about the kind of cancer you have is a very strange thing to do.  So anyway if they operate he could lose part of his jaw and tongue.  Gnarly.  It's good that Catherine got out before all of this because it sounds really gross.

Taylor Swift Gives Me More Reasons to Hate Her: So Taylor Swift is on the cover of the November issue of InStyle.  She looks cute.  Whatever.  Anyway, APPARENTLY, the reporter asked her if she'd ever been in love or how many times she'd been in love or something and Taylor Swift said:

“I’d like to think that if you’re with the right person, you feel great about things you’ve never felt great about before. At least that’s how I’ve heard it’s supposed to be. I wouldn’t know.”

This is amazing.  After writing approximately 938726 songs about being in love and having her heart broken, Taylor Swift basically admits she knows nothing about anything.  Which is pretty gratifying for me.

Side note: Taylor also says in this article that she has a ton in common with Lena Dunham.  Ummmm, no.  Because Lena Dunham is talented and smart and Judd Apatow likes her.  The only people that like you are 14-year old girls with self-esteem issues.
