Yes, the visuals have changed!
It felt like it was time to pour more time and thought into Love Aesthetics. I´ve disliked my header for a long time but wanted to come up with something good and more permanent before changing it. I finally came up with a concept that is less digital; inspired on forms and product manuals. So instead of running to the usual Photoshop and trying out a million fonts I pulled out my scissors, copying machine and a pen instead. There will be a few more adjustments during the time coming.
I once started this blog to be a part of the online rebels that were democratizing fashion, I had no readers, was embarrassed to tell my friends about what I was up to online and had little idea of what I was doing. But in three years this online space called Love Aesthetics has evolved into something that reflects my view on fashion better and of which I can even say I´m a bit proud of.
Over the past years the character of the blogosphere has also gone through some big changes. Shortly said it went from bloggers taking pictures of themselves with tiny digital cameras in a mirror and reporting about
the local vintage boutique to making Vogue-worthy images and reporting about the Paris shows from front row seats.
Seeing what a valuable addition all the collective voices of blogs have become to the fashion industry is inspiring to pour more time and thought into what one throws online. Not only have I put a bit more effort into the visual aspects of Love Aesthetics but also plan to place blogging higher on my priority list and take more time to produce content.
Though the appearance, the execution and quality have changed and developed over the years, my blog is still the same in spirit. I blog because of my hyper enthusiasm and obsession with fashion. Love Aesthetics is about my love for aesthetics and my interest in what lies beneath the appearance of things. Thank you all for staying tuned, it has been the best reward and motivation to keep the updates coming!
* Small note to those who share my aversion towards commerce. Yes I've decided to take advertisements. But have no fear, no content will be compromised. If you want to know more about my approach to sponsors read the 'ethics' section.

I loove this design ♥
I like. Pretty unique too.
I am inspired. I've always stopped by your blog and just am admired every time by the things you post but after reading this post, I understand who you are more as a blogger. So you've inspired me to put more effort into mine as well. It does become a bit difficult with school and work but I'm alright with spending more time on the things I love doing! Thanks :)

Very cool!
Thank YOU for inspiring me e v e r y t i m e !
You should be proud! Out of all the blogs I read, yours is the one that inspires me the most. And it's purely because Love Aesthetics has depth in a way that is quite rare in the blogosphere. Your thoughts, opinions and emotions all shine through and you do all this in a very stylish, no-fuzz way that I love. You and your blog are unique and that's something I respect.
ah je blog blijft geweldig, welke lay-out of font ie ook heeft. ^^ Ben benieuwd naar je verder evolutie, voor mij steekt deze blog al mijlenver boven alle andere uit !
Wat een fantastische layout + vind het concept van je blog geweldig!

je header is echt heel mooi! Ook de rest van je lay-out zoals dat 'briefje'.
Je bent echt een van mn favoriete bloggers omdat je altijd doet wat je zelf wilt én goed kunt. En ik weet zeker dat advertenties daar niks aan zullen veranderen!
Heel tof gedaan, leuk dat je voor zoiets eigens hebt gekozen!
Love it.
intelligent blogging! one reason i like your blog. looking forward to more updates and changes...
ads- i recently added them, too. no one seems to mind, as they're not in-your-face, plus they align with my blog's design and my aesthetic. and the ads are getting used by my readers. :)
Love the new image of Love Aesthetics! It describes your style really well. I always love you blog <3

It´s always nice to reinvent and refresh isn´t it? I think one of the reasons I like your blog so much is that it isn´t plastered with advertising left, right and centre. xoxo

I really don’t want to seem like a creep, since I wrote you an email and posted on your wall, BUT I do want to share once again that I absolutely love your blog. I was talking about my blog with my friend today, and she told me to just stick with what I like and not compromise for anything. You have done that and succeeded. Never change.
You can do whatever you like with your blog as long as you don't ever stop posting your amazing approach to style & fashion! The new layout/design is rad by the way..!
inspiring words.. =p
Love the new design, it's amazing! I don't understand how you did it but it doesn't matter, I love it. Keep it up xx
I think you just talked for soo many bloggers which is fantastic !
I love your spirit girl and I am following you now for a while but it always surprises me with the content and what topics I find in here , Keep the good work !
and great banner by the way :)
