New Blog Design: I Need Your Help!

UPDATED: As you can see, I have now changed my blog design.  Thank you to those that provided their insight.  I really appreciate it! <3

Hello lovelies!

I originally had a review planned for today, but over the weekend I began considering a new look for the blog.  By "considering" I mean designing four different options on a sample blog.  I think I have just about chosen the the option that I prefer the most, but before I make the change I want your feedback!

The Reasoning
I have started to feel that I would like a simpler blog design that is more basic and mature.  I have no bad feelings about my current design, I just think it's a time for change.

Where You Come In
Your feedback is very important to me and I need your help! Do you prefer--Option A--the Marie Antoinette design that you see on your screen right now? Or, do you prefer--Option B--the design in the picture below?


Obviously, Option B is not finished.  I still have some changes to make, but you get the gist.  So... what do you think? Option A? or Option B?

  1. Ooooo I like option B Olivia! I'm madly in love with the chevron pattern and the gray and yellow color scheme - very classy and sophisticated. The damask pattern you have now is really pretty as well - but I the chevron/damask combination:)

    1. Thanks so much, Jenny! <3
      Your feedback means a lot because I absolutely love your blog design! Yours is classic and that is what I want in the end :) I'll definitely keep your opinion in mind when I tweak it a bit.

  2. I like the more simple look from B, but the two different patterns (the one in the header and the background) are a bit too much for my taste. I love the blue color from your current layout and the header is cute. I think I go for the current design :)

  3. I love your current theme, but the new one is pretty, too, if you really want a change.

  4. I would agree, the new design idea is lovely, but a scrolling chevron background sometimes gives me a headache if I'm reading on the site for a while :)
