It's been a while...

Oh my god. It's been almost 3 months since I've posted. Can you ever forgive me?
The sad thing is, I don't even have a good excuse. My life, I think, is just so unbelievably boring and uneventful that I feel like I never have anything interesting to post. Seriously. Last week of the uni semester this week though, so let's hope that in my two-month break I'll have lots of outfit posts, and my blog will be so brilliant it will make up for my absence :)

Not much to really write about today (nothing exciting going on), but I thought I'd show you some makeup I did the other day for a tutorial on my Youtube channel
(you can watch the tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZaplwEX7p8&list=UUKShRu67PsPSBbB2FmcFUBg&index=1&feature=plcp)

It's about how to make green eyes pop! My favourite feature about myself is my big, green eyes and I love making them stand out, especially for a night out. Pinks and purples are contrasting to green, so I find that these colours look best around my eyes to draw attention.

A dark brown smokey eye also works wonders for me. Not quite sure why that is, but hey, if it works...


Alright, I have to go, dinner's ready! I PROMISE it won't be another 3 months :)

Kiss me once again

Hello to my little spring rolls and chicken dumplings (I guess I start referring to people as food when I'm hungry...)!!!!

Back at uni now, so happy to finally be back amongst all the other performance students, and excited to learn bigger and better things now I'm in my second year! :) Workload is going to be pretty intense though, I can tell already...

Thought I'd just do an outfit post today. I had an audition in the morning (which I thought went well but again, you never really know do you?) and then I worked, so nothing big. Hope you like it :)

Drunk and I am seeing stars

Hey dolls!

Hope you're all doing well!

I've been stuck in the house for the last week because I got my tonsils out, which totally and completely sucked. The operation in itself wasn't that bad, but the recovery, not going to lie, has been horrible. The first few days I was like "pfft, this isn't even bad, what's everyone going on about? I AM INVINCIBLE!". But after maybe 5 days, the pain kicked in. And oh my word, when I'm trying to eat, it is agonising. I'm basically starving because even the thought of trying to swallow scares me, then when I feel like I'm going to die because I'm so hungry and I finally cave in and go to eat, I take one bite and it feels like razor blades are going down my throat and getting stuck there. The pain brings tears to my eyes, I end up bawling my eyes out and not eating anything. And still being starving. I'm so over this. It's ridiculous.

I've been stuck at home for a week as I can't risk going outside, as I am more likely to catch a disease and make my condition worse. However, today I'd had enough of being stuck inside, in my pyjamas for a week so Mum and I ventured out to buy some new bed covers for my brand new double bed (big girl bed, yayyyy!).

Getting to finally put some makeup on and wear actual clothing... you would not believe how much better it made me feel. Here's a few pictures of what I wore :) Pretty casual but it wasn't exactly an exciting day.

 So hopefully I'll be better soon and can eat properly and wear proper clothes every day... that would be nice. Because I'm going crazy here!!

Love from a very distressed and upset Taylor xxx



Single Awareness Day

Alright, so I didn’t want to be the annoying girl raining on everyone’s parade on Valentine’s day, but you know me, I can’t keep my mouth shut, here I go.

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT YOUR BOYFRIEND GOT YOU FOR VALENTINES DAY.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH, chocolate, flowers and a teddy. How original. He must really love you. Oh wait, he just wants to get laid tonight. He looked in the Valentine’s day handbook and followed the rules. He’s made you happy. Now it’s his turn. Girls, you’d better give him what he wants tonight because the poor guy is just doing the best he can on this poor excuse of a “special day”. I’m joking. Kind of.

Is Valentine’s day even a real holiday? No. Are we excused from school and from work? No. Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday designed TO MAKE MONEY!

WHAT IN THE GREAT ODEN’S RAVEN IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE “LOVE OF YOUR LIFE” BUYING YOU THE SAME THING AS EVERY OTHER NON-SINGLE GIRL IN THE WORLD?

I mean for God’s sake. I’m single and I’m happy being single. I’m not the bitter single girl.  Not saying I’m anti-relationship or anything! I would be equally happy in a relationship. But even if I WAS in a committed relationship, I would still hate Valentine’s day just as much. I’d like for my boyfriend and I to treat it just like any other day. Sure, we’ll go out on a date and have some fun. But he’d better not buy me flowers and chocolate and a teddy. I swear. Or I will actually hit someone. If he’s gonna buy me something, it had better be something thoughtful. Something sentimental that means something to me.

I always say I would rather have my boyfriend surprise me on a day that’s totally random. Have him spontaneously rock up at my house with pizza and my favourite ice cream and be like “Hey baby, I bought us tickets to see the Arctic Monkeys. Surprise! Let’s go.” That would make me so unbelievably happy because it’s THOUGHTFUL.

Also, Valentine’s day is one day out of an entire year. I wouldn’t want to have to remind my boyfriend to do something nice and special for me. Or expect it just one day. He shouldn’t need just one day (the same day as everyone else) to tell me and show me how much he loves me. That should be every day. Anniversaries are special. Those are the days where he can go all out. Because that’s between just me and him, not the entire world.

And one more note. Facebook. If I see one more girl posting a photo on Facebook of what her boyfriend got her today, and rubbing it in the faces of all the single girls who are posting pathetic statuses about it being “single awareness day” and wanting cuddles because they’re forever alone… I will go postal. Seriously I will rage. Girls writing statuses about this: you are single for a reason. STOP moping about not having a boyfriend! It is not the most important thing in the world! Yeah, relationships are great, but being single is great too! Have a little self respect and learn to love yourself, then maybe someone can learn to love you.

So I’m posting this before even reading it through and editing it. I’m sorry if it doesn’t make a lot of sense, I’ve just gotta get it off my chest before I go insane.

And to all the couples spending a nice night together that ARE NOT telling the entire world about it, that have given each other thoughtful gifts and are just perfectly content spending time with each other… I commend you. Thank you. And to all the single girls out there that really don’t care at all about Valentine’s day? I like you. Let’s be friends.

Good day.

This is how an angel cries, I blame it on my own sick pride

Sup homie g's?

Thought I'd throw in an outfit post as- big whoop di do- I've been neglecting my blog. It's just... my life is really not all that interesting hahaha :P Trying to socialise as much as possible before I get my tonsils out on the 9th of February- eek! Not looking forward to it at all!!

Wore this outfit out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant with a dear friend I haven't seen in a while. In Perth everywhere is pretty casual haha but I'm a freak and have to wear heels every single time I go out past 4pm... So I dressed them down. Still get death stares though. Oh well, I wear what I want to wear and if people don't like that, that's their problem!
Don't be hatin coz you jelly ;)

Happy New Years!

Well hello 2012!!

Happy New Years to everyone! I spent the day at the Perth Cup, with full intentions of acting classy and watching the horse races... instead my highly drunk self sat in the shade eating a chicken burger and texting numerous people... Oh, and I got quite sunburnt on my back! Totally should have slipped, slopped and slapped.
Afterwards we headed out into a club in the city where we danced and partied until midnight. Was a good, kinda crazy day and night! Here's a few snaps of what I was wearing and how I did my hair and makeup.

Dress: Ally

Hope you all had a fabulous night! Remember that what's in the past is in the past, we can't change what's happened but we can always make fresh starts... providing we don't all die in 2012 ;)

Here's to the new year!

Grey weather and outfit

Big hello to my beautiful people!!

FINALLY an outfit post! I know I haven't done one in so long... I think "ugh, it's so hard to take photos by myself" but then as soon as I do it, I think "Oh hey, that wasn't hard... I should do this more...". Silly me. Didn't put a whole heap of thought into my outfit today... it's grey and gloomy outside and coincidentally I picked an outfit that matched the sky hahaha. Went out with a friend and did some of my Christmas shopping! I hope all of you are having a lovely day :)

Also, EXCITING NEWS! After stalking the lookbook.nu website religiously for probably the last year, I have finally signed up!! If you have an account, would mean the world to me if you hyped my looks and fanned me! Considering at the moment I have 0 hypes and 0 fans... hahaha :P
I'm not expecting to get heaps of traffic on the site at all... just thought it would be fun to finally sign up and show my support to all of the bloggers on there that I love... and I thought I might as well post some looks on there as well :)

This is the link to my Lookbook.nu profile:

Hope you're all enjoying the holiday season!
