A Celebration! 1 Million Views + New Design!

IMG_1841

I am incredibly excited, and feel very proud, to be writing this post today. Over three years ago, I created Queen of Contemporary and when I started I never thought I’d reach a point where I’d be able to say, “I’ve passed one million views on my blog!” How insane is that?! To celebrate, I made some extremely sparkly butterfly cakes, and I also redesigned my blog!

Whilst there have been certain designs on my blog that I’ve loved, I’ve never felt like any of them 100% fit the image in my head. As soon as I started work on my new theme, however, I knew it was The One. Look how gorgeous it is!! I adore the professional feel to it but I also feel as if it’s a warm, community space which is what I want my blog to be. I’m looking forward to showing it off a lot more in the coming weeks and months!

Thank you so much for your continued support in my blog’s journey. It means the world to me that I am part of a loving, friendly and welcoming community.

I really hope you enjoy the upcoming content and changes on Queen of Contemporary. Take a look around, enjoy the view, and relax with a good book!

What do you think of the new Queen of Contemporary design?

    Congratulations on 1 million views! It’s so many people… I can barely even imagine it!
    The new design is super. I like the way it’s really clean and minimalist (I’m not a fan of busy blogs), but it still feels welcoming and a bit homely 🙂

    I love the new design! I’m a sucker for crisp, clean lines 🙂 I’m also a sucker for cupcakes; those look so delicious. Congratulations ONE MILLION page views! That’s a heck of a milestone.
