Update at bottom.
Okay. Thanks for your votes everyone (dude, 54 votes in two hours)! Though the stripey one did win votewise, carlotta brought up a really good point: photos and such plus such a whammo design would just be overload, and I like simple designs better. I think I'm going to go with this one, as it's sort of in the middle — warmer than the grey and still has some yellow, but not pattern overload. Subtler. Easier on the eyes.
Thoughts?
And yes, I know I have to change my favicon/button/etc.
PS: weeklygiveaway postponed for this week — too much crazy stuff going on! Stay tuned for a snazzy one next week though.

I think I like the second one :)
ReplyDeleteTop!!! LOVE IT! :)
ReplyDelete... Hmm. They're both wonderful... but I'm going to have to say current. It's perfect for the season. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the top one:)

I, personally, LOVE the new one. <3 It's very springy/summery! Either is great, though.

Top
ReplyDeletethe gray!
ReplyDeletetop! much more happy and summery :)
ReplyDeleteI would say the bottom or your old one!
ReplyDeleteThis one (you said be honest) looks kind of fair/cirucus looking!
With stripes,and the ribbon used as a header adds to it!!!
I don't really think it goes with your blog very well,but thats just me. If you like it stick with it,its your blog...lol,and since you have like 400 more followers then I do I'm sure
your better deciding then me!
Ooohh, I like both! Top one, maybe? I say choose whichever one you feel like. More simple? Choose the second one. Bright and fun? Use first one.

P.S. I'm trying to figure out my header and I'd love it if you went and commented which one you liked best, thanks :)
The top one! :)
ReplyDeleteI think that you definitely need yellow in your design, but though I love them, the stripes in your current design are a bit distracting. Could you maybe work a little more yellow into the bottom design? I think that would be lovely. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe top one screams "summer fun" and the bottom one says "sophisticated". I like the first one best (though I always do love a good grey background...)
ReplyDeleteIn Christ,

THE FIRST ONE!
ReplyDeleteI liked your old one heaps but this one looks really good too! :)
ReplyDeleteThe top one. I love the yellow! :)
ReplyDeleteTop! The top is very summer and pretty and it almost reminds me of a fair or something, I like it a lot :).
ReplyDeleteThe bottom one however, looks like of boring. I'm not saying that it's not nice, I just think it looks like there's something missing.
I hope the helped :)
Love the yellow! Totally fits your theme!

bottom. but maybe the top one to add some summer colors. hard question... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia,
ReplyDeleteI like the top one, it's bright and sunny and I feel like it's right for this blog!
Romi.x
They are both great but personally I like the second one better :)
ReplyDeleteTop. =D
ReplyDeletethis is such a hard decision! both the designs are ridiculously adorable. I wish I had your creativity and skills. seriously. buuut, if I have to pick one, I think I'm going to have to go with the second. while I lovelovelove the stripes, I think they may be a tad bit distracting when put together with photographs in your posts. just my two cents... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the yellow!
ReplyDeleteI like the top one the best, it's very happy!! :)
ReplyDeleteBethany. :)
Ooooh, I really like both of them, but I have to say...definitely the bottom one. I am a sucker for blue and grey and I think it looks much calmer than the first one.
ReplyDeleteEither one though would be beautiful! ^_^
love them! i think i like the bottom one a little better though
ReplyDeleteI like the second one :) always great design job!
ReplyDeleteI like both a lot, but I kind of like the neutral tone of the bottom one. Thats just me, though :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with the bottom, simply because it's easier on the eyes and I really like blue and gray together. Both are great, though!
ReplyDeletei love the bright colors of the current design, so i gotta say, keep this one!! it is very spring-y and cute :)
ReplyDeletedefinatly the current one!
ReplyDeletethe yellow makes your blog feel happy
i think neither..change it totally!!
ReplyDeleteTop. Most definitely. It's so light and fresh and nautical and so Olivia.
ReplyDelete~Larkin
Hm.. I *really* liked the one you had before this yellow template. (I can't really find a way to describe it?) But if I *have* to pick between the two, I'd say the bottom one =)
ReplyDeleteUmmmm...I say...TOP! :D
ReplyDeleteNoooo...don't change. I absolutely loved your old blog design! It was elegant and chic yet not super busy and distracting.
ReplyDeleteBottom one. :)
ReplyDeleteTop all the way! I love the yellow and stripes.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the current one. Sassy and cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote the current one, just because it feels more summer-y and since the past few designs have been toned down this colorful, bold design is a nice change!
ReplyDeletebottom gray is more suiting for you.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like the top. :)
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteYou know, I find this one fine, and the bottom one is fine too, but I REALLY liked that white background you had, with the "horsefeathers" in cursive. Do you know which one I mean?
But it's your choice :) any of them work!
Bottom. It gives your blog more of a classy look rather than a busy rused look! ;)
ReplyDeletetop top top!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteTOP! Love it ;]
ReplyDeleteI think I like the current one because it's more summery. :)
ReplyDeleteyep. bottom or old one.(like the old one better) Personal don't like the top, to much bright colours.
ReplyDeleteTotally the first. I'm kinda kinda tired of boring grey, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteno offense, but...Why?!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the old one with the swirly brown writing! It was so beautiful!!!
top one, or the one now! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually change my mind. I like the idea of working yellow into the bottom design, but not the big stripes. Not a huge fan of them, but I still love both!
ReplyDeleteTop one is my favorite. But I like both!
ReplyDeleteTwo words for first two new designs: insanely cute
ReplyDeleteOne word for latest design: OKAY
Thirteen words for previous (yesterday's) design: This little blogger follows your blog because she fell in love with it.
Current! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I, btw, am a new follower who has been looking around your blog and loving it! :D
TOP ONE!!
ReplyDeleteCool! I love the bottom one!!! They are both sooooooooo awesome! Nice work! =D
ReplyDeletewell, i'm late on the vote, but even though i LOVE the first one, i'm with carlotta: simple designs are better. :)
ReplyDeletegreat work, olivia!!
It looks good. Now Olivia.
ReplyDeleteI think the grey one looks really nice. You make such lovely templates and buttons. They're so cute!
ReplyDeleteI like the one you have up now. I don't really like posting section layout thought. It still looks good though!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new look Olivia! It is simply gorgeous. The yellow one was super cute, but it would clash with pictures. I love this half-way look! Pure awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was def the bottom -- but this one is lovely and in between. Love it, chica! ❤
ReplyDeleteLove the new look ;D
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carlotta... the bottom one!
ReplyDelete:)
