Fall Leaves.

This last week has probably been one of the hardest but best weeks ever! I am training for my new position at work as a med tech and i love it! Many things have changed this last week and i'm just trying to stay positive. These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago and i'm finally putting them up because i actually have time. This holiday season is coming and i know its not fun to be alone. This holiday season i will be alone. Everyone in my family is coupled off so i'm trying to keep myself busy and my mind off of being "alone". Like i've been saying i'm going to be having some well-needed Teylor time. haha This week i received a cute Christmas card from my cute missionary boy Tyson. I'm pretty sure this made my whole week! So here are some pictures! enjoy! xo-tey
P.s. If you find yourself alone this holiday season don't get down. Just be grateful for who is in your life and for the things you have!

Look at how cute my little missionary is :)

Lululemon.

Lululemon is an athletic clothing for those of you who don't know. For me i fell in love with them when i first tried on the black leggings. They are probably the most comfortable clothes i have ever worn in my life! I think i'm addicted now..uh oh! but its totally worth it because they have a 5 year guaruntee to last through athletic wear. Check them out at lululemon.com here's my new lululemon wear! enjoy! xo-tey

This last week that H&M has been opened (those who know me know that i love H&M) i have been there 3 times already..yes..let's just say my mom isn't too happy because she hates when i gift myself before christmas. haha i can't resist :) well another story I have my sister to thank because she got me into lululemon. For those of you who don't know its a very nice clothing/athletic brand, i'm going to give you a sneak peek..until next time! enjoy! xo-tey

Lululemon Sneak Peek

Wrapped in Warmth..

Hello to everyone who reads my blog! Sorry i've been kind of neglectful to my blog the last couple of weeks. Today actually has been one of the best days ever! I woke up to a phone call from Joseph (my father), ok but first i have to tell you the story. So maybe a little over a month ago Joseph came to me all excited saying that i have to do this two paragraph essay to win a laptop. So me because i want a laptop but i don't wanna go buy one, i do this essay in hopes that i would win one instead of having to fork out money to buy one. The topic for the essay is about why a laptop would help me with my education and how you would use it to further your education. My essay was about how i want to become a nurse one day and help others, and it would be easier to have a laptop so i could study anywhere at any time. I did the essay the day it was suppose to be done and i totally didn't really think anything of it. Well a little over a month and a half i thought they had already chosen a winner because i hadn't heard anything i was like ok whatever i don't really care, then this morning my dad calls me telling me i won! It was really cool because i hadn't ever won anything big like that in my life! So i was a very happy Teylor today! Oh and this last week my most favorite store H&M opened! In love! So yes, i also had a good shopping spree weekend! This is one of my new outfits for the day! Enjoy! xo-Tey

Oh i thought the bottom picture was kind of weird i didn't have it on right because i quickly put it on but you get the idea :)

Is it bullying or just a cruel joke?

This last week I had a serious talk with my momma dee about bullying. Recently at my work there is a new girl who no one really knows anything about but we all know she has a serious attitude problem. There is a boy who works there and is abused by his mother on a regular basis. He takes a good beating but is such a nice boy! So this girl at my work kind of led him on o believe that she was just flirting..innocent flirting most likely. On her Facebook she took a picture of the conversation they were having and this boy asked why she didn't want his number her reply was that she had a boyfriend, two actually because she is kind of a player. Then the caption underneath this picture said "at least I'm honest, this is one way to get rid of creepers! ;)" this kid obviously has her on Facebook so he can see that she called him a creep to who knows how many people, so my question is this do you believe that this is bullying in a way like cyber bullying or is this just flat out rude?? To anyone and everyone that reads this please leave any comment I would love feedback about this certain topic..I would also love to have more ideas because I will be writing an issue summary in English on this topic! Thanks to all you who leave a comment it really helps me out! :) xo-Tey

Gold&Black

 I just recently bought these new bootie platforms. I got them at forever 21 and fell in love with them the moment that i saw them..unfortunately they were all sold out of them. I was so sad but i got online and they only had a size 8 (which i'm a 7) so they are kind of big but i loved them enough to get them. I also found my knuckle ring at forever 21, kind of different but i love it! This season its all about the black and gold. I know my shirt isn't a true gold, however black and gold together is the new trend this coming season! more to come! enjoy xo-tey

Pants: H&M Shoes, Top, &Ring:Forever 21 

What else other then black and white?

So this was my outfit yesterday. Luckily my sister left for California so i can have rights to her closet (even though we have completely different styles) anyways this ruffled shirt is one that caught my eye and i decided to wear it. In this picture you can't tell that this shirt is ruffled but it is. I loved this outfit but not my hair! It definately was not working out for me! Anyways enjoy! xo-tey

Shirt &Pants: H&M Shoes: Urban Outfitters (Kimchi Blue, love them!) Rings: Forever 21 & Vintage Earrings: Forever 21

I absolutely love these rings! If you are ever looking for a good place to buy big rings (i'm obessed with huge rings) there is a cute vintage store just past 600 south in salt lake called Decades. Thats where my flower ring is from! They have so many cute rings its insane! Oh and forever 21 has many cute rings for way cheap! The one picture above was only 3 dollars! I'm always up for a good deal :)

TheQueen.

Ok so if you know me you that i absolutely Lady Gaga! Yes, she is extremely crazy and different, however i love that she is so different. You will never see someone that goes all out like this lady does! I also love Alexander McQueen a famous fashion designer who recently passed in 2010. He had the most abnormal designs anyone has ever seen, however they are memorable. This outfit that he designed i have been obsessed with. Of course i would never wear it, but i think it is so cool and once you see the high heels you will know he had an amazing vision with his fashion designs. Back to Lady Gaga she and McQueen were friends and she used this specific outfit in her "Bad Romance" music video. Her and McQueen were friends and she wrote a song in tribute to McQueen called "Fashion of his Love." It's a good song, personally i love it..but anyways here is that crazy outfit of McQueens worn by my fave Lady Gaga!!

This picture was taken at a fashion exhibit in tribute to McQueen in Paris.

(Check out those heels, think you can't walk in regular heels, try walking in those)

And here Lady Gaga in her "Bad Romance" music video wearing this fab design by McQueen (only Gaga could pull it off)

Rainy Day..

This day has been cold?! Am I right? I'm definately not a girl that can be in 80 degree weather and have to get used to 30 degree weather in a time frame of a day. Its not really in my book. I do love cold weather, don't get me wrong, but i definately have to ease into it. I absolutely love fall clothes and of course layering! Its one of my faves! Today i tried it with some thick brown tights, boot socks, and of course my favorite the leg warmers! haha I tried something new today. I have never gone out of my comfort zone and tried something new so i hope you all like this outfit! enjoy! xo-tey

Shoes:H&M Trench Coat: Nordstrom (BP) Shirt: Urban Outfitters Brown Tights: Forever 21 Boot Socks & Leg Warmers: Target Rings: Forever 21 & Vintage Lipstick: MAC

A little tip too if you are looking for great inexpensive clothes, wait until mid-january and everything goes on sale! My trench coat from Nordstrom was half off and my urban shirt was regularly 100 dollars (WAY too much) and i got it on sale for ten! Always wait, its totally worth it!

Kitty Love!

I don't care how obsessed i am! I will always have love for my little kitty cat!! <3

Black&White Bliss

Today has been one of those days that i'm just in the shopping mood..i feel like i can't find anything to wear and nothing fits right, so i ordered myself some new toms, because i can't find any clothes that i like and because i'm having issues with myself but like on the movie "In her shoes" when she says that clothes make her feel fat and shoes always fit just right..yeah thats my philosophy! I always feel like that! I wore my G-Star Raw jeans with them and i was walking out of class today and a random guy told me that he thought these jeans were really cool because they look like they are wax coated (they really aren't though, its just a chemical to make them look that way) and he told me that he thought they were pretty cool! I love getting compliments on my clothes especially from guys (because they don't care) Well this is my outfit for the day! enjoy! xo-tey

Shirt: Nordstrom (BP) Jeans: G-Star Raw (Bastille) Shoes: Toms.com :)

H&M

I'm so excited that H&M is FINALLY coming to Utah! I know it opens in November but i'm kind of neglecting my blog so i'm talking about my favorite store! It opens November 11th (Or so i have heard, the date could change) I'm way excited because one of my very best friends is going to get a new look. I'm obessed with boys dressing nice..not that this particular friend doesn't dress nice i just like different looks. I was down in Vegas and was going to get him this checkered shirt but didn't because i knew he wouldn't like it. I was on H&M one day and came across this picture and sent it to him to see if he liked it, he said yes! I was so excited because i was like yes! finally i will be able to dress you in stuff we both like (inside joke) Well this is the outfit that i absolutely love. I can't wait to see it on him one day..enjoy! xo-tey

Blue Stripes..

Well today has been an excellent day. I had a math test that i aced and then i had my first ever college presentation! I wasn't nervous at all and flew right threw it but i only looked at my class once :S maybe not the best way to do a presentation but my teacher loved it! Its been a great day overall and i had to show you my outfit and my crazy hair!! The boots i'm wearing i'm absolutely obessed with! They are fergie ledger boots and oh my gosh, my ABSOLUTE fave! Well enjoy! xo-tey

Shirt and Tank: Urban Outfitters Jeans: Jolt-Nordstrom (BP) Boots: Fergie-Nordstrom

Kitty Kitty

So i gave up on the half moon nails..tried them again and it was just an all around epic fail. So i went back to my favorite! Which is the leopard print nails! Its the sally hansen stickers! Best invention EVER! haha They are kind of pricey yes, but i found out a way to use them twice. It comes in two packs of eight. You only use one pack of eight and use both sides so you can have two uses out of it! Well here it is! enjoy! xo-tey

My whittle booties!

I'm so happy that fall is finally coming!! Its probably my favorite season because its not freezing like winter but its not hot like the summer! and of course i can wear my boots! Boots are probably my most favorite shoes in the world! They seriously can go with anything! Forever i was trying to find some commander boots, and i couldn't find them anywhere! I went to H&M in Vegas the new 3 level one..yeah..heaven! I found the perfect pair of these boots so i got them! Here is my outfit for the day! enjoy! xo-tey

Shirt, Jeans, Boots: H&M

golden sun.

Well today has been kind of one of those "wow hair..why don't you love" kind of days...my hair serioiusly was in my face all day long but i didn't want to do anything about it so i just sucked it up. A little bit ago i got myself some G-Star Raw jeans that i have been waiting to wear becasue they are way too hot for me to wear in 90-100 degree weather. Anyways i love them! They have a kind of waxy look to them, but its a chemical that makes them look that way! Oh and my ring..i was so lucky to have this ring, i got it from Aldo in Vegas and it was the last one. I had never seen one like this and i looked everywhere to find a cute triple ring. Then i came home and looked at the Aldo in SLC and they have tons of them. haha kind of funny but its my favorite ring! Anyways here is my outfit for today! enjoy! xo-tey

Shirt: H&M Jeans: G-Star Raw Ring: Aldo

Never too long for me!

Today has been such a long day..school and now work, kels and i took some pictures outside of my cute long dress that i am in love with!! I seriously love long dresses! I wore one to school one day and there is this creepy older guy in my class, and the next class day he asked  me where my long dress was..and if i'm some sort of piligamist..creepy right? Well anyways here is my outfit for today! This dress is extremely long, but it doesn't stop me! Enjoy! xo-tey

Long Dress & Jacket: H&M Earrings: Forever 21

Looks like a half moon tonight!

After looking on thebeautydepartment.com i loved the half-moon nails! I had seen it on Rihanna in glamour magazine so i took a try at it..not great for a first time! but hey i did it myself! Starting out i put a base coat on (so your nail doesn't go a yellowish color) then a did a gold color for the base (by the way if you try it yourself my suggestion is to get the sally hansen sparkle stickers so you don't have to wait forever for it to dry), waited forever for it to dry, then i put the reinforcer stickers on, painted the main color (which is navy), and then finally the top coat for shine! This is how it turned out! enjoy! xo-tey

Nail Polish: Essie (nail color is midnight cami), CND effects

Skin Care

I know women and girls are always worrying about if their skin looks good to everyone else..or at least i do..i was always so self conscious about if i had blemishes or not. My sister taught me their is more to the skin then meets the eye. She said to me that you must always take care of your skin because you don't want to look old when you are in your 20s, am i right? These are some of the most important skin care tips that she gave me...

Number 1: Always wear sunscreen on your face! As you get older you have hyperpigmentation that appears as your skin gets older and they are dark spots on your face and can be seen as dark freckles. I have a facial sunscreen from glymed. I put it on before any of my make-up and then just put my make-up on. Because my sunscreen is used as a moisturizer as well i only put that on. There is no problem if you go to the store and buy a facial sunscreen and mix it with your everyday moisturizer! it works just as good!

Number 2: Tanning. I know everyone loves to have that pretty brown color to their skin..i'm white as white so i've finally come to accept that i'm just white. Tanning is ok to a certain extent. You shouldn't go tanning more than twice a month and no longer than 10 minutes if you go to a tanning salon. Again with the hyperpigmentation, when you are older your skin will show those hyperpigmentation..so which would you rather have be white and have good skin..or be tan for a little bit and look much older when you are older? Most people don't know this fact and yes this is a true fact its even what master estheticians teach and say..one minute of tanning is eqivalent to an hour in the sun..you decide for yourself i'm just giving the hard facts.

Number 3: Always and I mean ALWAYS wash your face at night. During the day how many countless times do you touch your face? Or even the nasty stuff in the air we are exposed to? The dirt and even sweat that gets on our faces can definately cause some damage and can give you unwanted blemishes. I will admit i get lazy sometimes if i don't wash my face or even if i just get a warm wash cloth and wipe my face off. You should always wash your face with a cleanser to get all the dirt and grime off your face. Some tips for those who don't know what kind of cleanser to get in a nutshell..those who have oily skin get more of a foaming cleanser..and for those who have dry skin (like me) get more of a milky cleanser to add moisture instead of drying it out more.

Those are my top 3 tips for your facial skin care. Sorry its so much reading but i promise its good advice! I learned from my sister..so happy she is a skin care expert so i can share it with all of you! enjoy! xo-tey

Sunday Best..

Today was the day to get dressed up. I love dressing up because i have way too many high heels that dont ever see the sun! I wore my favorite black heels today. They are betsey johnson. I absolutely love her high heels! They are so comfy and can you say adorable?! Well anyways here are some pictures of my outfit and of course the shoes!

Ok then i tried something new with my hair also. Its called the twist braid. I did it on myself and by the time i left for church it had started falling out. My sister tried it on me last week with my hair curled and i didn't love it so much. Today i did love it even though it fell out. Well this little picture is from Lauren Conrads beauty blog called "thebeautydepartment.com" i love this blog! It gives you such good advice about hair and nails! and thats where i learned about the twist braid! enjoy! xo! -tey

Lashes are probably one of the greatest things ever invented for women! It brings your eye out and makes it so much more noticeable! You can feel beautiful even without make-up on! Yes its true! I only wear eyeliner and its the greatest thing ever! I am proud to say that i have not worn mascara for over a year thanks to my sweet girlfriend Wendy! Enjoy! xo!
