So! You might notice that things look ... a little different around here. That's because I kind of lost my mind last night and decided to redesign the whole 'look and feel' of Angloyankophile.
I'm kidding.
It's something I've been thinking about for a while now (like, a year). I just wanted something that looked a little more ... grown-up. A little cleaner, a little slicker, but still me.
So, with a little help and encouragement from two of my favorite blogging buddies, Angela and Rebecca, I set off to design a new logo (which I hope you like!) and to find a shiny new template (which I love!). Now you can pin images directly to Pinterest, see my most popular posts in the sidebar, and follow along with me on Instagram.
I felt so nervous installing it last night - mostly because I was worried that you wouldn't like it but also because, well, change is scary.
But I think it's time. For change, that is. And I hope that you'll keep reading; that you'll keep leaving the lovely comments that you leave. They make my day.
It's been five years since I started this blog and I'm so grateful that you've stayed with me for the ride!

I loves it - very chic! It might even convince my brain how to spell your blog name... maybe ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! HAHA - yes, I thought it would be fun to break down the long name a little bit! :)
DeleteLooks great! And it really goes with your content style. I've been meaning to change my blog brand for ages, I got as far as changing the template but still haven't done the logo. This has definitely motivated me to get a move on! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely, thoughtful comment, Laura! I was very nervous that changing the layout wouldn't look like "me" anymore, or that it'd look like every other blog, so I really appreciate your reassurance! It is tricky to find/design a new logo. There's Tailor Brands, which I know a lot of people like and use (I tried it too) and there are a lot of options on Etsy too, if you haven't had a browse at those already! :)
DeleteLooking good Jaime, congratulations on the new look! It's always nerve wracking to make changes :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Angie! I know that you know exactly what that feels like! :)
DeleteLooks great. Congrats on the big step.
