cat eyes & skinny jeans {or, why I changed my blog name}

Hi babes!

Many of you may have noticed that Cafe Fashionista became cat eyes & skinny jeans over the weekend {please note the new URL above and update bookmarks accordingly}. Given the fact that many of you have been with me for years, I wanted to write this note to basically tell you why I decided to make the change; and explain the meaning behind the title.

I have a tendency to be verbose; but I'll try to keep this short.

Cafe Fashionista was a working title I developed right after I graduated high school, and began using when I started college and first entered the blogging world. At the time, the title, in my opinion, fit me and the voice of my blog perfectly. I have since Graduated from College, and Completed a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Just as I have grown, and begun new adventures in my life, this blog has, as well.

What was once primarily a forum for fashion, has undergone a natural progression into the realm of beauty and makeup {something that has become an obsession of mine over the past couple of years}. I wanted a new title that encompassed the beauty content I feature; while still paying homage to my adoration of fashion. And so, cat eyes & skinny jeans was born.


Why cat eyes & skinny jeans?


I had been toying around with the idea of changing my blog name for quite some time; but had never been inspired enough by a title to officially make the change...until this past Friday morning when cat eyes & skinny jeans randomly popped into my head, and I just knew the time had come.

cat eyes represents two things in my life - the fact that people have always compared my eyes to a cat's; and my favorite makeup/beauty look...the cat eye {you will never not see me rocking a fierce cat eye}.

skinny jeans symbolize my personal style. Skinny jeans are my fashion staple. I feel most comfortable, chic, and confident when I'm wearing them; therefore, making them a part of the blog title equation seemed necessary.

cat eyes & skinny jeans is a reflection of me. It is the person I am on a daily basis; and the person I have grown to be over the years.

Not as short and sweet as I would have liked; but a reason for my sudden name remodel nonetheless. Thanks for reading, ladies.
