Hello, party people! I’ve been excited to bring you this post since . . . well, since I decided to do a rebrand. After reading the brilliant rebrand post from the lovely Fiona, of StickySituation, I was inspired to finally get my shit together, sit down and write this!
So: my blog. If you’ve been following me since way back when, you’ll know that things have changed a lot since the beginning. When I first started this gig, I was living back in London, posting consistently and . . . well, super productive.
Productivity . . . That was a large focus in my content and my overall life. And, look, that was great for back then (and we would like productive Mia to make more of an appearance sometimes now too, note to self. Please. The poor girl’s not seen sunlight in the past six months.). However, as much as I’m grateful for that stage of my life, that’s not really who I am anymore.
And you know what? That’s okay.
I’ve moved to Australia, I’ve got a human that likes to keep me occupied and I just . . . well, I really like enjoying my life. In the past year and a half, I’ve had so much fun. My priorities have shifted – and rather than wanting to constantly be making the most of every second and be top of my game, I’m pretty content to just be happy.
While this blog is still a great way to earn some extra cash money, it’s really more of an online scrapbook. A space to share some crafts, do some creative shit and connect with other cool people. Now, to me at least, my old blog design didn’t quite reflect that. Which is why we were long overdue a little blog rebrand!

AFTER:
Unfortunately, I couldn’t really capture the homepage with that GIF, so feel free to click here to head over and see all the visuals yourself. In terms of design, I went for a few of my favourite things – warm colours, collages, hippy-dippy fonts – and I’m really pleased with the result!
In terms of content . . . well, I plan to continue doing what I enjoy. Crafting, journalling, fashion, sharing things that entertain me on any given day. I’ve got a lot of craft projects I’m working on at the moment that I’m excited to finally reveal over the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that.
Anyways, I think that’s about it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this post – do you guys like the new blog design? Let me know your thoughts below!
Peace,

I love it! Your homepage looks so good 😍
Thanks girl! x
Your blog looks so great!!! I love the warm colours and, man, I’m a sucker for anything remotely related to the hippie movement so the fonts are just *Italian chef’s kiss* (oh god I am the epitome of cringe, but also yes for the fonts).
I remember visiting your blog a couple days ago, after a relatively long time and just staring at the gifs like “…wait a minute, this wasn’t there before…” and then promptly fangirling about the new look in my own head. I just love it so much!
Congratulations on your rebranding!! xx
Thank you so much, Arshia <3 I'm glad you agree - everything stoner 60s is just such a vibe! xx
Yes girl!! So excited when this popped up, especially after checking out Fiona’s rebranding as well! I noticed the header a few posts back and got excited because I’m in love with the hippy font and the new colours and tones, and the rest of the site looks just as good gal – love the new look and aesthetic, it feels like it fits you perfectly! You killed it xx
Thank you so much lovely ladyyyy! I think a blog rebrand was long overdue 🙂 Missing your face!xx
Hey Mia, so lovely to hear from you. I’m also in the same boat as haven’t had time to keep on top of things due to a new addition to the family.. ☺️ So take your time and enjoy the process as much as possible.. By the way, the new font and style looks amazing. So lovely bright and fresh! 💕 xx
Thank you so much lovely. Again, congrats on the new addition! I don’t know how I missed it before, but that’s so exciting <3
Aww thank you so much sweetheart, that’s so kind of you! 💕 😘
Yay! Congrats beauty! Your blog looks fantastic! And you know what it is totally okay to rebrand ( I have done it a gazillion times in the last decade…whooops) and go in different directions. As humans we evolve and that is a GOOD thing! So excited to follow you on this next chapter of your life! SO much love and health to you sweets! <3
Thank you so much, Kate! You’re always putting smiles on my face 😉 Hope you’re well, big love to ya as always! <3
I noticed you changed your homepage a few days ago but I forgot to tell you how much I love it! I think it really reflects your personality! 😊 I’m so happy to read you’re doing so well, I think it’s such a positive change to focus more on happiness than on productivity! 😘
Aww thank you so much, Caroline, that means a lot <3
Congrats on the re-brand! Glad to have you back, but I’m also glad you took time out to just live! 😊

Thank you girly, always nice to see you stop by 🙂 x
Super stoked about your rebrand! Love the aesthetics vibe! It’s okay to blog because you like to and share what you want to share when you want to share it. (Can we get a gif tutorial??😍)

I really like it!! I think it shows your style more cant wait to see more 😁
Thanks lovely!
I love the new design! I think it reflects your personality very well (or the personality that you portray through your blog) and I love the new font. xx
Thank you, Hannah! Always lovely to see you stop by 🙂 xx
Omg this looks incredible!! Really inspired me to sort out my blog 🖤
Aw thank you lovely – I highly recommend doing it, I feel way more motivated to actually blog now that my site feels more like *my site* <3
It’s really nice design, I love it. It’s always good to get that fresh feel, sort of new look, so re brand is always a good option. Looking forward to new posts. xx
Thank you so much, Azra! xx
I’ve been meaning to rebrand for months now but keep putting it off trying to settle on what ‘my’ style is! I’m loving the change with yours, especially the colour pop! xxx
