Please review my vintage and fashion blog

    It's brand new (3 days old), everything's just about set up properly. Now I'm just trying to attract some traffic, but I'd appreciate some feedback first on the content and layout, etc.

    The blog acts as a journal for me, where I blog about the latest trends/ fashions, my opinions on them, my 'Wish List', and as the title hints- Thrifting (which is basically shopping for second hand fashion and vintage in charity shops, etc.)

    Any feedback and advice is welcome.

    Also, I changed the top header from this:
    [​IMG]

    to this:
    [​IMG]

    I thought the second one was better as it was simple, more relevant to the blog niche and I liked the colours. Which one do you prefer?

    Great Blog idea! I prefer the 1st header (more cleaner) Also, if you have the knowledge or you know someone that can help you, perhaps you could look into hosting your own Wordpress blog site
    Cheers!

    Thanks a lot bbjedi. I dunno, I think I probably just got bored of it to change it... after like 3 days, haha!
    But thanks for your input!
    I've never created a blog with a Wordpress install rather than using the host, but that's my next venture I think :)

    I think the first header is neat.

    Where is the link to your site, or did you just want the pictures reviewed?

    I changed the header back to the original now. I think it's a little more chic than the second :')

    i like it, the first header is def. more chic.

    it's very clean. maybe have a light background image though? an overall theme matching the header would be better than *beautiful header* and then *white boringness*.

    the content is great, maybe add more pictures like at the beginning of each post just to break up the words a bit. i see some entries do include pictures, though, which is great.

    your entries should have headers for keyword purposes and for easier readability.

    good start so far. with enough advertising and regularly updated content you can be successful! look for related-fashion blogs and comment on them and/or ask for link exchanges for some help in that first area.
