General design
With the fashionable, trendy and feminine style, this WordPress theme surely will attract every female blogger at the first look. Especially, being a feminine theme doesn't mean that it's only suitable for a girly user, but it can be extremely matched with a modern and strong-character girl. The use of straight lines and diverse kinds of animation plays a very important role in this perfect design. The straight lines are used to create all the elements, to separate different parts, and to decorate, giving the solid, creative and modern sense.

Meanwhile, the author uses many kinds of animation from top to toe so it's very vivid and eye-catching.
Other elements
As a feminine WordPress theme, the color scheme is very sweet and adorable. Besides the popular black and white for the texts and background, the pink and green elements make the design extremely gentle. lovely and creative.
The typography is also diverse. The Raleway and Josefin Sans are legible and solid while the Courgette is a hand-writing font with softness and creativity.
With different elements, the author has a different stunning and creative way to display.
To my mind, the header area has the most sophisticated and beautiful style. The header and title lie directly on the header image/video, containing only symbols. The symbols, instead of texts, can convey the meaning by the very attractive image and catch the eyes of the reader more effectively. Furthermore. all the necessary information can still appear outstandingly when you click the symbol on the left. The slide-out menu appears in the green full-width background, really prominent and impressive. Moreover, this is a sticky menu to help you keep an eye on it everywhere as well as know. The sticky menu even has a progress bar to visualize the progression of your operation.

The header has one style only, but you can change it by choosing to show or hide some factors like the search symbol or the social sharing in the Customizer.
In the demo, the header video is in full-screen, very lively and attractive. However, when I install this free WordPress theme and choose a video for this area, it's not as pretty as the demo. You can see that the video doesn't display a full-frame as it is covered by a black menu bar like this.

About the static full-width image, as the default setting, your image has an overlay to be darker so that the menu and title can appear clearly.

Otherwise, you can disable this overlay and use the original image. But I still prefer the default setting.

Next, the Top story section is the second most outstanding area. There are 2 layers, one for the featured image, another for the list of stories. This design is not only attractive but also really trendy and stylish.
Top stories
On the homepage, posts are shown in a list. The post's information is centralized, which looks nice and poetic but sometimes the center alignment is not easy to read for me.
How about the sidebar? The most special thing about it is the Latest Posts widget from Swift Blog. It has its own way to display the popular post with numbering and beautiful featured images. Thus, people will be more impressed and easy to explore more posts.
