I was recently (and to my great surprise) mentioned as part of the new ‘Personality Blogger Girl’ trend. According to this article, myself and the girls above have these things in common:

  • Young female, using a glamorous pen name
  • A mix between personal life, recommendations of products/people, and how-tos based on everyday life (such as How To Be Fabulous)
  • Plenty on design, fashion, style, culture, trends
  • Blogger likely to be an artist or other creative person
  • Promotes the blogger itself as a brand
  • “Things I Love Tuesday” (possibly started by one of those bloggers)
  • Similar layouts

This got me thinking: Could I be a part of a movement and not even know it?

While I think that placing me next to these senior bloggers was a bit premature – most of these ladies have been blogging for months, even years, where as I just started – I can definitely see the similarities between us. We all love fashion, but use it to express our individuality rather than to fit in; we are artistically inclined and place high value in aesthetics, while maintaining that inner happiness is essential; and lastly, we all write about everyday events through the prism of our own experiences.

If that’s the case, then maybe it’s not such a bad trend! In fact, I think it’s revolutionary enough to inspire more similar blogs to come out in the nearest future. It fills me with GLEE to think that we may have unwittingly created a new community with a terrific purpose – to perk up and inspire women around the globe!

This movement is not some sort of a clique; it’s all-inclusive. A whole bunch of new, extraordinary blogger girls to look at and get to know is a good thing in my book! :D

Do we really market ourselves as a brand?

I think some bloggers do, some don’t, and some don’t give it much thought. I don’t like to think of myself as a ‘brand’, but I probably am. After all, this blog is centered around my life and experiences. I see nothing wrong with that though – as long as I get to connect with people through my writing, experiment, take pictures and have fun! :)

Have a lovely weekend, Deerlings!
