Taylor Swift

There is no doubting Taylor Swift’s super star style.  Since breaking onto the music scene as a teen, this country singer has been seen wearing the cutest clothes that compliment her personality.  Taylor never misses a step draped in some of the most beautiful designer dresses.  Even in her pop music videos, she always loves to wear ball gowns that are made for the country princess she is.  Before becoming a celebrity Taylor Swift loved dressing up in gowns and dresses, and dreaming about being famous one day.  Now, as a global superstar, Taylor Swift never misses an opportunity to look great in a pretty dress.

To get the Taylor Swift look for your Homecoming or Prom this year all you need to remember is 3 words:  Simple, yet glamorous!  Taylor always stands out in beautiful princess gowns and dresses, but when it comes to other aspects of her look, she makes sure to tone it down.

When it comes to hairstyles, Swift tries to stick to the basics.  She loves pretty updos, but will also just rock her natural curls with some added boost at most events.  This year Taylor added bangs to her hairstyle, which many other celebs are also adopting.  Full bangs are becoming a major trend of 2012!

For her makeup, Taylor Swift always keeps it basic as well.  She doesn’t overdo it, yet still has a certain style to it that makes her pop!  Usually Swift goes for the smoky eye look with dark eye shadow, thick mascara, and the occasional added glitter for extra sparkle.  Her lipstick color is always either a feminine light pink, bold pinup red, or classic vintage coral.  When it comes to adding blush, Taylor Swift is always sure to not go overboard.  Sometimes you can notice a slight added pink to her cheek, but her entire look is still very natural.

Geometry 101 – Eyeliner Styles

Geometric shaping around the eyes will be all the rage this Fall, says Elle magazine.  Get creative with your eyeliner and try out something more risqué like long wings at the corners, thick lines, and dots.  Adding something more to your basic eyeliner and shadow will bring a new shape and feeling to your entire look.  Also in style for the season are bold, full colors along the eyelid.  Mixing in some bold eye shadow colors to your pallet can additionally bring more attention to your beautiful eyes!

History Lesson – Fall Hairstyles

Daniel at Fashioning says that this season, hairstyles are getting Vintage.  The 1960s ponytail, side braid,  and classic wavy bob from the 40s are taking over.  These hair trends are bringing us back in time and making it a little easier to style our hair each morning.  This Vintage mix is really about comfort and staying casual.  Any straight hair will look fab in a long, low ponytail, while those with curly locks are in luck too with manageable braids or a bob look.

Biology Class – Boxy Bangs

Everyone will be adding prim and proper bangs to their hairstyle this Fall 2012 season.  Straight, boxy, full bangs can completely change your style.  Bangs bring an edgy look and can be a super stylish addition to hairstyles this Fall.  All year at Fall 2012 runway fashion shows and previews, the boxy bang has been dominant for models wearing the latest trends.  There are so many different styles of bangs so you’re bound to find a style that suits you.  If you’re not sure what will look good with your face shape just ask your hairstylist for a suggestion.

Drama Club – Red Lips

Makeup trends seem to be all about the shock factor this Fall.  If you’re looking to liven up your makeup style, pick up a luscious stick of red lipstick on your next shopping trip.  Deep and bright red lips are totally Vintage, fitting in with the Hairstyles this Fall, and add another burst of color to compliment your geometric eyeliner techniques.  Red is the ideal color for Fall, fitting in well with the season change.  The great thing about red lips, they’re classic and will go with anything you wear!

The Little Black Dress has always been a quintessentially classic piece.   Necessary for every woman’s wardrobe since the early 1920s, the LBD has become popular because of how easy it is to accessorize and change for each fashion season.  As an outfit choice that can be worn to any social event at any time of year, this sleek, chic option is even a go-to for trendy celebrities.

In particular, the Little Black Lace Dress has become a favorite amongst the fashion savvy today.  This formal look takes the stylish fitted black trend and gives it a flirtatious twist.  Perfect for a night out, fancy dinner party, or swank celeb get-together, the Little Black Lace dress has been making rounds.

Check out these celebs, looking lovely in their lace:

Kristen Stewart, in the news lately for her unprofessional relationship with Snow White director Rupert Sanders, donned this one-shoulder Valentino dress last October.

Taylor Swift rocked this lace dress at a CMT event last year.  The sleeve lacework compliments her flawless skin, adding some contrast to a plain design.

Duchess of Cambridge Kate pulled off this royal look alongside hubby Prince William.  With a plain hairstyle and minimal makeup, Kate’s lace dress really accentuates her natural beauty.

This high, scoop neck style, with cap sleeves looks stunning on Former Heroes star Hayden Panettiere .

Although they’re not as glitzy as The Oscars, the Teen Choice Awards always bring best dressed celebrities out for a night of fun.  This year’s stars were no exception, strutting their stuff on the purple carpet at last night’s Teen Choice awards.

Selena Gomez celebrated her birthday last night in a pink, Dsquared2 short dress paired with cream Herve Leger heels, while Carly Rae Jepsen’s outfit would leave most calling her definitely!  Glee star Lea Michele looked amazing in her Versace dress with matching heels and we’re telling the truth when we say that Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale really rocked her bright Wes Gordon dress.

Although most critics are still debating whether or not Demi Lovato's Falguni + Shane Peacock dress was a hit or a miss, we give her credit for picking such a unique frock!  Taylor Swift certainly takes the crown though for her breathtaking ensemble, a stunning Maria Lucia Hohan gown with Prada Heels.
