A blog worth payin' attention too: Hey Vintage!
Although this blog has just recently begun, it has me wanting more. More fashion, more writing...just more. In the words of Britney Spears, "Gimme More". What makes this blog the one to watch (along with mine)? Let's de-construct, shall we.
Before diving into the blog posts of "Hey Vintage", let's talk layout. Now, a lot of blogs you see it's quite busy with lots of colors and pictures in the background (guiltyville, population: ME) but sometimes less is more. I don't know if she did it on purpose but whatever she is doing, she should continue. The faded grey title contrasts with the paler background color. This tiny little detail is really unnoticeable to the naked the eye but boy, does it make the eyes happy. There's nothing like a blog that is easy on the eyes because it makes it that more enjoyable to read. Your eyes feel relaxed and not feeling the need to work.
Take a picture
Something my eyes noticed well glazing over her page again was how the title picks up the colors, such as the greys and whites in the outfit worn by the model pictured in the heading. Even the the light pink accents some of the brighter colors. The continuous use of the same colors keep the fluidity of the page.
NOW, the writing
Ah, my favorite part of any blog or article, the writing. It makes my heart skip a beat. Alright, maybe not as Romeo and Juliet as that but you get my point.
Her first blog post, the introduction to the blog, was simple yet informative and direct. The beginning "Hello There" makes me feel like she is greeting an old friend or a new acquaintance.
Her first REAL post was perfection in my eyes. Giving a sneak peak into her makeup bag is every little girl's dream. Believe me, I have spent many a days looking through my mom's makeup bag. But anywho, having a detailed description of each product gives the reader an honest depiction of how it worked for her. Also, what I loved was she gave both the good and bad for some products; held nothing back! Her tone and language showed maturity and friendliness. It makes you want to grab a coffee with her and simple talk makeup for HOURS.
She knows her stuff and for that I applaud her! Bravo or should I say, Brava!
Her ending paragraph with the question "What are some of your favorite everyday products?" brings a friend relationship with the reader. How refreshing!
Who knew Vintage could be so modern and sassy?
