Taylor Swift 1989 concert

I have to share my amazing experience at the 1989 concert.It was one of the best nights ever. 

Taylor Swift singing "Wild Dreams" and "Enchanted".

I have been to Taylor Swift concert before. I went to the Speak Now World Tour. The Speak Now World Tour concert was amazing. I still reminisce all the time by watching the concert on the Live dvd. I still get emotional just thinking about it. It had a huge impression on me. I was already a huge fan, but after I completely immersed myself in her music and all things Taylor. 

Speak Now World Tour

My good friend and I bonded over Taylor Swift. She is the person that I went to the Speak Now concert with, and the person that I shared my obsession of all things Taylor with. It was really great. Several, years later we still each share that love of Taylor Swift. 

She had already been to the 1989 concert, but she loved it so much that she wanted to go again. I was game. We had a hard time finding tickets. We thought all was over until she won tickets from Xfinity. It was a dream come true. It was really surreal. Xfinity gave us tickets to the show with backstage tour passes. How did we get so lucky? Thank you Xfinity. You gave us the best night ever. 

Finding out we had backstage tour passes and great seats!

At our backstage tour, we got to see what goes into a Taylor Swift concert. We got see the costumes up close and the technology that brings Taylor close to everyone, even those up in the nosebleed seats. (Side note: At a Taylor Swift concert, there is no such thing as a nose bleed seat.) The best part about the backstage tour was the person giving the tour, Mama Swift (Taylor's mom). 

Meeting Mama Swift. She was so nice!

Mama Swift made a point to speak to everyone in our small group and to give everyone a hug. She gave lots of info about the 1989 tour and it's mouth-dropping statistics, but she also told little stories about Taylor. You could tell that she was one proud mom and was happy to help Taylor make her dreams come true. It was really great to be a little part of that, even if it was a very small part.

Every part of the 1989 concert was very tailored. Taylor took the time to dot all her I's and cross all her T's. She thought of every aspect, from the moment you walked in until the moment you left. She looked genuinely happy to be there performing. 

Taylor bringing the front row to everyone. 

If you have never been to Taylor Swift concert, you have really missed out. She gives amazing performances. Her shows are theatrical and very personal. You can't help but sing, dance, and cheer at the top of your lungs. You'll tear up at least once and revel in the wonderful night you were able to participate in.

Another 'selfie' with Taylor.

Taylor talks to the crowd like she is talking to you personally. She makes you feel special, and it is so amazing (sorry for the overuse of the word, but it's all that really sums it up). You'll leave the night wonderstruck and feeling like you just went to a party with 15,000 of your closest friends. It's a feeling I can't quite explain. 

Taylor inspiring the crowd.

If you haven't been to one of her concerts and have the means and opportunity to, I highly recommend that you do.

Prom: Dress shopping on a budget.

Prom season is around yet again. Prom is the time when every girl is looking for the perfect dress at the hopefully perfect price. Prom is the time when I am shopping for hard bargains; I'm scouring the internet for a beautiful dress with a price tag to match. Last year, I found several good (trustworthy) sites that you can purchase nice dresses for prom and other formal occasions. You can find my post about them here. This year I did some more researching. The site that I found this year was really hidden. It is truly a hidden treasure. The website is called UWDress.com. It's really a great site. 

There were so many beautiful dresses for affordable deals. I purchased my prom dress from UWDress,com. It's beautiful, and my signature style; I think. Every time I showed a picture of my dress that I ordered to my friends, they were all like "that dress is so you" and "that dress is so pretty" or "you should get that in emerald green." Several of my friends were very adamant that I should get an emerald green dress. Guess why? My RED hair, of course. Red heads look amazing in green; the funny thing is I never wear green. I wear a lot of blue or peach colors. I don't know why, but I do. Maybe I should wear green more often. 

Anyway, ya'll should definitely check out UWDress.com. You won't regret it, and even if you don't find or buy your prom dress from them, you can now recommend them to others or for yourself for future reference. 

This is my dress. It's simple, which is what I like. It isn't over the top extravagant, but it's classy. It also comes in other colors.

This dress is pretty and it can be found in many other colors. It can be found here. 

This dress was my second or third choice. I like how it has some sparkle, but not to much. It is strapless, which I am not a huge fan of, but it is sill a most gorgeous dress. This dress can also be found in other colors.

This dress is really nice also. It is all silver sparkles. But this dress is really nice. If you want something classy and modest, this dress is right up your alley.

What can I say, a girl loves her sparkles . I think it reminds us of diamonds, which are sparkly too.


UWDress.com has so many dresses that come in different shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. These examples were just a few of the many, many dresses that they have. Anyway, good prom shopping!

Prom dresses on a budget

I don't know about you, but I am on a budget. And Prom isn't any exception. I was looking for amazingly cute dresses for amazingly low prices and so I went on a search on Google.

 I wanted a dress that made a statement without the bank sending me an over statement.  I spent many hours looking at the department store looking at their dresses and well, I wasn't very impressed.  I found that there wasn't much variety. With not much variety, there's a  big chance that someone will end up wearing the same dress as someone else, which is so uncool. Plus, I want to be original, and you can't make much of a statement when someone else is wearing the same dress as you. 

On my search on Google, I found these two amazing websites. They pretty much made my week when I found them. That's how awesome they are. The great thing about these websites is that there is a variety. Which is awesome.  

The first website I found is called Milanoo. This website is filled with dresses of every color, style, shape, and for every occasion. The best thing is that most of the dresses are great to buy if you are a budget. The dresses seem to be reasonably priced. All in all pretty great site. 

The next website I found is my favorite. This website is called JJ's House. This is another website that sells all things fashion like Milanoo. This site also has a great variety. But my favorite part of JJ's House is that basically every dress is available in a variety of colors. (Most of the dresses I looked at were available in like 28 different colors) Another great thing about it is that everything is very user friendly, which is a huge bonus. Basically,  I don't think this website will let you down. 

Here are a few dresses that I found from these 2 websites but these aren't the only styles of dresses that are available from these websites. 

   


                         

Check out these websites, and tell me what you think of them. Another great place to look is a consignment store or half price store. My friend, for example, got her dress at this cute little consignment brand new with a minor tear that was easily sewn to be fixed for a dollar. This dress that she bought was normally sold for $165. Now no guarantee that we will all get that lucky finding an amazing dress for such an amazingly low price but I am sure we will find a good bargain for a beautiful dress if we just take our time to look. I hope you find everything you're looking for so that you may look amazing and have a magical prom.

Wants.. Dresses

While going through my want list, I was also scrolling through a bunch of pictures of dresses. What a coincidence. I love dresses though I have a hard time ever committing to dress to buy one. But a girl can want all she wants, right? These are a few out of probably hundreds that I like or have fallen in love with (yes, a dress). 

 Okay these dresses are really sparkly, but they just look like so much fun. I really love the necklines of the dresses too. 

Again I love the neckline. The detail at the top is just gorgeous. And the color with the silver detail at the top go great with each other.

I have a thing for fifty's style dresses. They are just so classy. And plus they usually look great on me. And this one is no exception.

What can I say I love the color of it and I love the detailed collar. The belt around the waist adds a perfect touch, also.

Another 50 style dress that I absolutely love. Why, Oh, Why? Because like above they are classy, lady like enough to show the guys your a woman but not enough to show them everything: they are demure. 

What drew me in about this dress was the color. For some reason I don't own anything green, and I don't know why. People always tell me to where more green because it would go well with my hair color. And the style of this dress is so pretty.

I love this lace dress. Enough said. And I love the neckline. ( okay I love all of it.)

This dress is unique. The color of the actual skirt goes so well with the whole thing because it is a simple neutral color that doesn't draw away from the detailed top part. Oh and I like the sleeve things (for lack of a better word) as well.

I secretly love sparkles. They just tell me that when I wear the dress I am going to have a fun filled night. And plus no one will forget what you were wearing. It makes a statement.










I really love the color of this dress. It's mint which is in fashion right now but I also love the style of the dress.

By the way did I mention that these are only a few dresses that I love and I wish I could show you them all. Maybe in the near future I will show you more. Do you like these dresses? Which one is your favorite?

 Thanks,

     Andrea

Cold Weather Chic

Before winter is over I wanted do a post on cold weather fashion. Just because it's cold doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. There are so many cute and fun ways to spice up your winter wardrobe. 

One of my favorite ways to dress up my winter wardrobe would be scarves. Scarves are so easy to wear and so comfy. PLUS they go with like everything. Another one of my favorite winter fashion go-to's would be sweaters. No not them ugly Christmas sweaters are turtle necks but cute ones. I wear them just about everyday with boots. Which brings me to my next point, boots are another go to item. 

I recently found this on Pinterest, which you can find here. These are just a few examples of what you can do to keep warm from the cold and not sacrifice your fashion. Yes, its possible!

Which one is your favorite?

Pish Posh.. the Oxford

I have recently fallen in love with skinny jeans, sweaters, and oxfords. I Wwere them everywhere. Not only do they look amazing but comfy and I can where them just about anywhere and it'll work. And it's in style but you still have the unique look with out being copies of everyone. Plus, it's kinda classy. 

Lately, I have also seen a lot of my favorite celebrities trending the same thing. 

Taylor Swift for example has an impeccable fashion sense (if I do say so myself). Again and again we see she wears these adorable outfits with oxfords. Oxfords with skirts, legging, shorts, and skinny jeans. They go with every thing it seems.

Taylor Swift effortlessly pulls this style off and so can you! These shoes are made accessible to you everywhere so, you too, can look this stylish. There are so many types of oxfords to choose from. You can get flat or heeled oxfords but either way there are so cute. Just choose your favorite pair and you will have an instant classy look.

Just be confident and strut your stuff adorably in the very classy oxford.
