    Hi,

    It looks clean, black and white are the classic fashion colors. I would suggest creating a nice looking header with additional color, maybe images. Checkout Yahoo OMG, a burst of color and yet the classic black and white everywhere else.

    Also, I would work on organizing and improving the footer layout/appearance.

  • Hello,

    On a 56k modem the main article photos load slowly, about a minute or two. Consider making them lower resolution.

    Main page, first paragraph: "working on another baby - their new clothing line for tween girls." Replace sentence-break hyphens with em dashes: --.

    In "My Best Posts": "Fashion trends are not a constant one." Ones.

    On the "MODELS TALK" page, try chopping up some long sentences, like the first paragraph. Some can get lost and then may not read any more.

    On the same page, the 9/13/11 entry photos load very slowly.

    The black-and-white background looks a little like a newspaper combined with gloss of a magazine. Is this your goal? I know nothing about fashion.

    I suggest getting a proofread from someone good at spotting editorial mistakes. Most of your copy at a glance looks fine for its content, what it says. And most visitors probably won't see things like the above; some might.

    Otherwise your site looks fine.

    Since the topic is Model Talk, maybe add a live twitter feed in the right widget to make the site more interactive and in the "now".

    Also, the header needs to be redesigned. Try finding a bold stock photograph of color combination to reinforce the communication of fashion.

    Great Start!!

    Not bad, very clean and minimalistic. I would opt for a different font set, but that's just me. I would think like a Georgia or something classy and serif would make for nice titles, and then something like a Calibri or classy sans-serif for regular fonts.

    You should definitely consider making a logo and placing it as your favorite icon.

    Ram...Its really a good design and the blog seems to be filled. It would be more appealing if you change the black to light gray and change the pink color to dark blue. This is not negative...just a review.

    Yes it is clean, actually it is too clean, you should add a color scheme to it. i.e. titles of the posts should have different color and add a logo on your website

    Overall, its quite a clean and nicely laid out design, however I feel that creating a header graphic would be a good investment, as the current header is a bit plain, and not overly distinctive.

    I noticed a few issues with the site, although I cannot be sure whether this is due to the site itself, or my browser (could easily be either). Namely, clicking to zoom in on any images causes two lightboxes to open, one behind the other, each with the image in it, requiring me to close both. Also, the bullet-pointed text appears to run behind the sidebar if it is longer than one line by about 5-6 characters or so.

    Other than that, the site seems fine.

    Clean design. You are using Serif font now. Sans serif fonts are more readable on the web. You can chage your font to Arial, Verdana and see the difference

      Yes, I would agree with this also, though the font being used isn't quite a full serif font. I did happen to notice however that the font used isn't uniform throughout the site - in parts, it lapses into Times New Roman, and this sudden change clashes with the rest of the text, and looks unprofessional. I'd suggest fixing this as soon as possible (it shouldn't be difficult)
