Today is the first day of July, the first day of Q3, and the first day of the second half of the year. And because of that I have taken a look back on the last six months to see which Sparkles and Shoes posts you all have liked the most. The most popular category on my blog historical has been Fashion Friday, my new outfit posts every Friday, which you can find at the end of every week and that has been true for the past few years. This is followed closely by my travel page which still has new weekly content despite COVID as I have a backlog, though not for much longer! Then I always find it interesting what you guys find interesting, in terms of traffic, these were the most popular posts from the start of January until the end of June.
Going Glam in Snake Print Pants
Christmas at Blenheim Palace
(which got a tone of traffic from Pinterest)
The Best Spring Sales in the UK
Feeling Fancy in Leather Trousers
A Fitness Update and Home Workouts Ideas
And one of the most posts on Sparkles and Shoes in the last six months is quite recent but still makes the top 10:
I’m Getting Married, My Engagement Story
This is a very interesting assortment of posts and I certainly understand the last one, especially as my Mom has been sending quite a few people the link! :). But digging into the numbers in the first half of 2020 you have not only liked recent posts but a handful of posts from past years, three featuring style icon and three on other topics:
Style Icon: Emma Watson and Style Icon: Gisele Bündchen
Style Icon: Julia Engel and Crushing on Floor to Ceiling Gallery Walls
Light and Airy Bedroom Inspiration and 19 Countries in 2019
Certainly quite an assortment but it is very exciting me to that a variety of content trends because as I keep trying to vary the kinds of content here on Sparkles and Shoes.

I always appreciate your gift guides for the holidays. You have such original and varried ideas.
Always love Fashion Fridays too and live vicariously through your travels.

It’s a tie for me between your engagement photo, congratulations again and the camel shot in front of the pyramids.

Must be so fun to see what resonates with your followers. Some I would have guessed and some not at all.
Looking forward to the next six months.

Awesome roundup of the 1st half of the year. Your highlight moving in with boyfriend and getting engaged. Next travel to Egypt and USA before covid-19. For fashion the best 3 to me are the leopard one piece, the skater dress and Rachel Parcell Pink Dress. Finally the lowlife of the year is covid-19 by far. This destroyed everyones travel plans.
