We Love...Taylor!

Taylor Swift,aged 22, is an American country singer and songwriter originally from Pennsylvania. Taylor grew up living on a Christmas tree farm, whilst learning to horse ride and attending a theatre school.

 Taylor has long been one of my favourite artists, partly because of her down-to-earth personality, and, of course, amazing voice.

I have recently admired her for her fashion sense, and her knack for creating a simple, yet extremely cute outfit.

 The superstar always has a retro vibe to her style, and is rarely seen without her signature slick of red lipstick.

Always perfectly groomed, Taylor looks like she could have just walked out of the set of 'Bye Bye Birdie'. Now that isn't your average country star.

Florals, brights, sequins, you name it, Taylor has worn it. 

From her old Hollywood glamour red carpet looks, to her Autumn 'duffle coat and beanie' combo, Miss Swift has THAT something that keeps her fresh, and not decadent, like the 50's fashions she wears.

Often getting critical disclaim for her constant love songs about the several famous faces she has dated, Taylor, frankly, doesn't give a DAMN, and carries on singing about what she is passionate about, which I find very inspiring to listen to someone who genuinely cares about what she writes and performs.

 And, just to prove these critics wrong, Taylor has won a UNBELIEVABLE 119 awards in the past few years! GOLLY GOSH!

Taylor usually sticks to a natural, earthy pallette for her pieces, only bringing out her bold hues for awards shows and events, and accessorizes with minimal make-up ( a natural, pale base, a dark feline flick of eyeliner and THE matte red lip) and her beautiful blonde hair, either in her mass of ringlets, or poker straight. 

As you can tell from this picture, Taylor's style has evolved from your average country sweetheart to something we'd like to call 'Oxford Chic Glamour Queen'. Hm, I think it will catch on.

We ♥ Taylor!

P.S. Here's a picture of the signed Red CD ( her newly released album)! It is such a good album, I don't think there is a bad song on it!

We Love...Lianne!

Style Crush♥

 Lianne La Havas 

aged 23, is an English folk and soul singer-songwriter from London, England.


 Born to a Greek bus-driver father and a Jamaican postlady mother, Lianne refers her kooky approach to music and fashion to her diverse roots.

        After watching her for quite a while since I first heard her track, No Room For Doubt, with Willy Mason, I was hooked, and intrigued by her individuality.

   
  Renown for her trademark lopsided bun and trusty guitar, Lianne recently supported Alicia Keys' MTV Crashes, which was broadcasted in a MASSIVE 164 countries!







She has also supported Wisconsin folk band Bon Iver on their December 2011 North American tour!



 She also has many celebrity fans,including Tom Ford, Stevie Wonder and Prince, who rang her when she was having a pint in the pub with her boyfriend! Jealous...

 She cites her style icons as multi-award winning actress and director, Diane Keaton, and Prince, in his Purple Rain video.









Lianne is recognised for her love of eclectic pieces, including popping brights, shoulder pads, Peter Pan collars and chunky statement necklaces.


Her make-up is usually very natural, although she is never caught without a statement flick of kohl eyeliner, and a dot in the middle of her bottom eyelid. Cute!



We predict that Lianne is destined for super-stardom, along with the greats of Etta Jones and Amy Winehouse.
