the amount of images will make your computer crash

No one even reads this anymore, including me

I got bored and decided I wanted a place to post all my favorite images. (Even though I could save them on my computer like other favorites..)

Whatever, here's a temporary entertainment.

S.O.S. to my mother, take the hinges off the door

I've really been neglecting this blog. It's been a long time, ever since I made a tumblr I've lost desire to blog sadly. ima-robot.tumblr.com

I think when I get some awesome camera, with a large, clear lens, IF that ever freaking happens, then I'll post more. I like photos better. For now, I'll just harp on some uninteresting things, cuz that's all I'm good at.

So insane, unique jewelry has been invading my thoughts for the past month or 2. I have been finding out about more and more jewelry designers who make just the greatest things! Some examples are MANIAMANIA, Bong Drag (accessories, mainly Pamela Love ones), A(r)mor Jewelry...

Immortals Ring from MANIAMANIA

stalacite cuff, also maniamania

Crow Ring, from Bona Drag & Created by Pamela Love

Pamela Love Talon Cuff

Pamela Love Crow Necklace

Pamela Love Cage Ring

There are many more on Bona Drag that I love that aren't Pamela Love but I only wanted to post the favorites.

I will never be able to purchase any of these. Sadly, uniqueness, nice design, & good materials comes with a price, that I won't be able to afford any time soon. Or ever. I can't DIY these, like I am in the process of doing with the A(r)mor Jewelry pieces that are all made from chains, which aren't hard to work with, that I previously blogged about.

I will be making a replica of this sooner or later though! Excited.

Goodness I love jewelry, I could see myself creating this stuff for a living! Don't think I ever will though...

If only you knew, would you save me? Can you teach me to stop the rain?

I should be going to bed now, I have to wake up at 8 tomorrow. Whatever.

So my love Lexi posted a list of what happiness is to her on her last blog post. And I decided that I'll do it here too. I have a feeling mine's gonna be a bit more wordy, i'm just like that.

Happiness is to me:

• The finer things in life.
• People who influence me to be my best.
• being by myself
• Being with those few friends that you know you'll always love, no matter what
• the benefit from consciously making a good decision
• coming up with an outfit you love
• feeling creative
• listening to music that is beautifully created, with great lyrics, great singing, and instrumental elements.
• listening to music that changes my mood, into good or bad; just because that's when you know the musician created something really moving. (hoping this isn't a contradiction...)
• black & white
• getting away from your familiar life for a short period of time
• coming home to your familiar life
• Delilah (sometimes with her Jack)
• my family, no other words needed
• long car rides
• my magazines
• understanding what's going on in any math class
• being in the midst of fashion week - like updates on shows on style.com
• seeing the extreme creativity and artistic value in fashion collections.
• wearing a bunch of rings
• SHOES.
• getting lost in an alternate world (...a book, sims family, a story you wrote)
• beautiful photographs
• a clean room
• 1000awesomethings.com
• meaningful, long hugs :)
• feeling independent.
• aster flowers
• sassfras the rock
• feeling like i belong
• Religion, God, trust and faith in Him.
• staying awake
• seeing my long stack of cd's
• davey havok's compelling words and voice.
• writing in cursive
• moving from acquaintance to friend
• heart to hearts
• reading a book you know you'll remember for a while
• listening to lyrics you know you'll remember for a while
• tulle fabric :]
• wedge heels
• Watching Sleepy Hollow.
• painting my nails
• taking long walks until my feet are killing
• being in crowds
• Manhattan
• big fluffy cheerful dogs
• being flattered
• looking for shapes in the clouds
• feeling content
• meditating
• being immature & proud (so often)
• Accomplishments
• When you're period's over (yeah, I did just mention that.)
• having a booked weekend
• having something to look forward to.
• staying up late
• no responsibilities
• dancing like a maniac in your room all alone to a great song.
• feeling confident
• the 90s, Such an unattractive decade, I love everything about it.
• thunderstorms during the day
• when you make other people laugh really hard
• the ancient romans & greeks
• having a dream so good that it takes you a while for reality to set in.
• Not forgetting a dream over a few hours or days like I usually do
• jewelry
• Best last few:
• Going to local band shows in small venues.
• AFI
• The Killers
• The Dresden Dolls
• Italy. Visiting Amalfi, Sorrento, Pompeii, Naples, Rome, staying in my mother's town Liscia, the long car rides, the beautiful scenery, the warm people, the different way of living, and the emotion part that came with everything. Every part of that trip had a song to accompany. Visiting Italy for 3 weeks in 2008 changed my life so much.
• The best for last, going to concerts. Best feeling in the whole world. You're hot, sweaty, and going nuts to music you live for. Watching people go nuts on stage and in the pit. Playing for you until you've fallen head over heels in love!

so theres my list :D

this was sooo hard to think of so many.

btw, i got a tumblr. you can follow tumblr blogs on blogger! party!

Swallow Your Pride

The title is lyrics from a song by The Devil Wears Prada.

Swallows are such beautiful, interesting birds.

I would love to own one- any bird as a matter of fact birds are my favorite animal (next to kitties) but I don't have the heart to cage one. My older brother used to own a white parakeet named Peatree. I still remember that adorable birdie :]

If I could get any tattoo, it would be a swallow on my ribcage on my right side... even though I have this all planned out I would never get a tattoo.

Bye for now,

taylor

P.S. I like having a signature at the bottom...I think I'm going to do it for now on

In times of great boredom, a new post.

It's a nice spring afternoon with the weather above 70 degrees outside. I'm sitting on my back porch eating a vanilla cone, I finished the rest of the ice cream in my house D: My next door neighbors are on their swing set and they're a little annoying. I don't think I've ever brought my laptop outside before...

I should be doing other things, like unpacking (I came home from Washington DC on wednesday!) or cleaning my room or actually getting around to trimming my bangs instead of pushing them to the side....

But it's nice out :]

So a little while ago I found out about this jewelry company called A(r)mor Jewelry. They've been blogged about a bunch of times, but I wanted my input :]

Their pieces are so original and daring and outrageous, I love it!

It doesn't only consist of necklaces and rings and earrings, but there are shoulder pieces and arm pieces.

^This one was the piece I saw on Fashion Toast and Where Did You Get That.

Those aren't everything on the site (armorjewelry.com) but its a jist. I showed my mom the site and the other day we went to the craft store and bought a bunch of chains and clasps and stuff. So I'll post about those once I'm finished with them. I pray they come out okay.

I also want to do some actual outfit posts. I'm promising all these posts and nothing!

-Finished product of the jewelry I'm making inspired by Armor Jewelry

-Pictures from my trip to Washing DC

- Outfit post?

Those will be in the near future.......

I hope.

I find it so romantic when you look into my beautiful eyes, and lose control.

That one stupid line, from the song "Who let you go" by the Killers will forever be in my head. (title line)

I came home from Washington DC today, I was there for 4 days. I'll post the pictures of everything next post, I don't know where the camera is currently. But main thing I have to say about that trip- I saw a real life panda! :D

And now, I will be a copy cat because I am so amazing at that and post the same survey that was posted on Fashion Confectionary, but with my own answers. (No shit) I thought it was an interesting survey to read and would be interesting to do. So yeah. Testicle.

Who is your favorite designer? Rodarte is first, then Alexander McQueen and then Oscar de la Renta. But I also love Prada, Miuccia has such a great eye for design.

If you could come back as a dress, what would it be? Oh goodness this is difficult. Probably Marion Cotillard's 2008 Jean Paul Gaultier mermaid gown or Alexander McQueen's beautiful shipwreck glamour dress back from Spring '03. Or basically any gown from Rodarte, Alexander McQueen or Oscar de la Renta.

If you could come back as a model, who would it be? This is easy! Well it's a current model, Jac Jagaciak. She's so beautiful and it's weird saying it because she's exactly my age... I've always known she was my favorite ever since I saw her in Teen Vogue editorials when *we* were only 14 hahah. Then there's Magdalena Fracowiak, whose looks are so unique. Lastly, my 3rd favorite is Daria Werbowy, who American Vogue just can't get enough of. Those are just the top 3! Then there's Yulia Kharlaponova, Sasha Pivovarova, Karmen Pedaru, Natasha Poly, Anabela Belikova, Karen Elson, Jessica Stam, and Elsa Sylvan. But those aren't in order. Goodness I know a lot. I dare you to look up all of them. Then tell me your favorite out of those.

If you could come back with someone else’s body, whose would it be? Someones body? Daria Werbowy. Definitely. Or maybe Karlie Kloss because her's is perfection! and the fact that she's 6 feet tall.

What are you most vain about? The fact that I have good memory of names & faces (you can tell) and general crap.

Junk food? French fries! I'm disgusting :P Also, Double chocolate chip frappachino @ starbucks.

Who are your fantasy dinner-party guests? Oh boy. Alexander McQueen, Holden Caulfield, Tally Youngblood, Davey Havok, John Lennon, Marie Antoinette, Brandon Flowers, Danny Roberts, Abraham Lincoln, My late grandma Helyn, My late uncle Russell I never met, my late grandma Adua I never met, and my friends.

Favorite place to have a drink? Starbucks!

What can’t you travel without? Ipod, cell phone, & magazines

Last book you read? Lord of the Flies, great book! I'm currently reading A Separate Peace, The first Harry Potter, and Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang. I hate reading more than 1 at a time

At age seven, you wanted to be..? A model, always have been, always will be. I can't though, I stand tall at 5'3'' and my waist ISN'T 23 inches

What’s the thing you find easiest to forgive? Honest mistakes. well that's vague.

What’s the thing you find impossible to forgive? Selfishness/Being Vain

Biggest self-indulgence? Can't think of one, and I don't have money for that kind of stuff yet!

Favorite place to shop? H&M, Designer Collaborations @ Target, Aldo, Forever 21, American Eagle, Thrift/Consignment. But if I had a credit card - topshop, urban outfitters. The closest urban outfitters is like an hour away and the closest topshop is in Manhattan. And besides, it's always annoyingly crowded. Don't go christmas season.

Favorite place to shop online? I can't shop online (often, sometimes I convince my mom to get me things), I don't own a credit card. If I did, Topshop, Urban Outfitters

Whose diary would you most like to read? Kurt Cobain. Or Alexander McQueen (if he had one)

Least favorite food? Peas, Coffee

If you were an inventor, what would you invent? A way for humans to not destroy or overcrowd the planet.......

Car? VW bus, Lamborghini, convertible beatle, & my soon to own father's car

What was your childhood nickname? Tee, Tee Tee, Taylo

When and where are you happiest? At hardcore shows. Local bands or the favorites- this is always going to be true. I could spend my life standing outside a mosh pit watching big attractive guys wailing at each other while hardcore dancing, watching band members crowd surf (or fans) and watching blood drip on the floor (. . .) while enjoying to the greatest music in the world.

What are your favorite vacation spots? Anywhere that gets me away from home for a few days or weeks. Well not ANYWHERE. I don't want to go to Iran or anything. Lmao.

Most treasured possession? One of my family member's platinum and onyx turn-of-the-century ring that's 110 years old. I'm not sure who owned it, but knowing that it was given to me is the best feeling in the world. And my great grandma's wedding rings.

Favorite musicians? A.F.I, The Killers, Elliott Smith Alesana, From First to Last, The Devil Wears Prada, Nirvana, Asking Alexandria, Land of Talk, The Tallest Man on Earth, Bring Me the Horizon, A Day to Remember, Blessthefall, Emery, Keane, Emarosa, Tegan and Sara, Sonny Moore....etc etc (no specific order)

If you had another profession beside your own, what would it be? Other than a student... A model, Shoe designer, journalist for Vogue, Teen Vogue, or other fashion magazines, stylist, or buyer.

What current trends would you like to see disappear? Uggs (hypocrite! I can't help it if my parents BOUGHT me a pair. I don't wear them though.) black leggings as pants with a short shirt or northface, & wearing labels just for the name

Favorite trend of all time? Cardigans!

Always…? Make good decisions... in your eyes.

Never…? Give up.
