Ramblings about: Blogging

Before I started Oh, Kenzo, I had a blog on Tumblr called Le Petite Pois, directly translated as 'The Little Pea' in French (No, it had no relevance whatsoever, but my then pretentious self took quite a liking to the sound of it). That blog went really well, and not in the sense of acquiring a huge following, but in the improvement of my writing. My writing style developed, both on and off the blog, and I grew more and more comfortable with sharing my opinions with the few people who actually read it.

When I made the decision to switch from there to here, I became quite sentimental about the Tumblr blog, especially after the amount of work I'd put into my little slice of the internet. It seemed so rash to change so quickly, but after realising the undeniable difference in the ability to personalise and customize when comparing Tumblr to Blogger, it seemed foolish not to make the switch.

 I've been blogging on Oh, Kenzo for a just over a month now, and it's really growing on me. This blog is a lot more personal than the other one. Here, I can ramble on like I'm doing now, whereas I had specific topics (fashion, design and photography) which I wrote about on the other one. That blog was my first internet love, and the beginning of my love for writing.

One thing I must mention, though, is that I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for Kimberely Pesch of Eat.Sleep.Wear and Jessica Quirk of What I Wore. They were the first bloggers I'd ever really come across, and essentially, sparked my interest in blogging. Through them, I found an entirely new world, which I had been completely unknown to before then. I do encourage that you read their blogs, because they're both truly and utterly amazing.

Even if it's only a hobby, or something to pass the time, I would 100% urge you to start a blog. It's a great way to document your life, while still improving your writing (two birds with one stone, eh!)... One day, you can look back on it and have a laugh. It's a little daunting, I know, but it's always fun to see yourself grow and change, and I find that blogs are a great way to do that!

PS. When it comes to blogging sites, I would recommend Blogger all day, everyday. Honestly, it's the most all-round FREE site you'll find, and trust me, I've tried them all!
P.P.S Justin's concert is this Sunday (Eeeeep!) I'll post about it soon!
