Revitalize

From all white to all black, as you can see I’m a fan of monochrome dressing. So today I have some very exciting news to share with you, despite the colour palette of my outfit and my less than enthused expression in the pictures. I’d been wanting to move on from a wordpress hosted website to a self-hosted domain name for quite some time now, and am happy to announce that I finally took the leap and did it! I’m currently working on building the website, which I’m aiming to launch in the new year. There is however a problem. I created the name icingandglitter when I was in a very different place in my life,Β and as I’ve evolved, both personally and sartorially, I feel like the name is no longer an accurate representation of my identity. Whenever I meet people, they’re quite surprised to hear that my blog name, mine, the girl clad in various shades of grey, is icingandglitter. However, since I’ve not yet been able to think of an alternative name, I decided to keep it as it is for now. In the event I do rebrand, do you have any suggestions for names?

    Ah this is crazy. I’ve been going through the same problem trying to figure out if my blog name is really the way I want to define me and what I’m doing. I think we all grow and branch out, so it’s so hard finding a brand name that you can stick with forever. To be honest, now that I think about it, icingandglitter is so cute considering that you’re all monochrome – almost like a sarcastic lil cute nickname. Just grew to love it x10 more. Whatever you decide I’m sure it’s going to be amazing. Can’t wait to see it girl!

      Your comment totally made my day, and is such a smart way of thinking about it. I think with blogs it’s always tricky unless you go with an eponymous title. Thing is I think most people evolve over time, and so with a name that’s not your own, we all have doubts about whether it represents us. I personally think Beauty Rewritten is a great neutral name, so whether you keep it or change it, it’s perfect. But most importantly, it’s great that we’re both trying our best to produce great content, because after all, what’s in a name? xo

    I love this shoot, one of my favorites so far and so street style chic! I’m so excited for you about the rebrand and so looking forward to seeing the new design. Have you thought about going with your name?

      I’m still totally on the fence about the name. On one hand, I feel like it’s not an accurate representation of my brand any more, but on the other, I’ve branded myself that way and don’t want to confuse my readers. It’s such a difficult decision! So for now, I’m just focusing on the web design aspect. I think the name will come to me organically, which is why I love getting all of your opinion on it! xo

      VANILLE!!!! Oh my god, I can’t even fit in enough words on this tiny little comment! So happy to hear from you! How have you been? So happy to see you’re doing well as a graphic designer. I actually may need help with a logo in the near future, in which case I’ll reach out. Sending so much love your way!

    I really like this outfit, it’s so edgy and your red lips just make it all work so well. Going self hosted is such a big step, congrats!

    I think you should totally rebrand if you’re not feeling it, though I’m terrible at blog names and wouldn’t be able to help you out. When coming up with titles for posts, I tend to just think about it, and then the name pops into my mind at some point – terrible advice, but it works for me.

      You’re so right, I think the name just feels right organically. For now, I’m focusing on the redesign and see where it goes from there. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend! xo

    Can’t wait to see you new blog!! About the name I like ‘icingandglitter’!! It’s so hard to find the right one… Or you can also include your name in it, I think it makes it more personal. Love black monochrome look! Happy Sunday x

      I’m thinking I’ll try to integrate my name into more components of the blog, it’s always hard to figure these things out! xo

    Gorgeous all black look hun. The oversized sweatshirt looks like it would be perfect to hide any cheeky food babies and I love your nude bag.
    Have a great start to the week babe xx

      Haha my thoughts exactly. No need to skip that extra round of tacos when your clothing is this loose! xo

      Thanks Katherine! Hope you’re having a great weekend! xo

    Congrats! I think you can still stick to icing and glitter because your readers know that it’s you and won’t be confused? It’s tricky to change blog names.

    As always, I am in love with your look! So chic! I think Icing and Glitter is a great name. Rebranding is always difficult, but I really do think you have found a good name here. Best of luck with your decision! πŸ™‚

      I think what I’m going to try to do is integrate my name into the new website somehow instead of changing it completely from icingandglitter. But for now, I’m focusing on the redesign which is a huge step in itself! xo
