Blogging 101 + Introducing Chico!

As soon as I think that I sort of have this blogging thing figured out, I quickly am reminded that I have no idea what I'm doing.  It's been quite the fun learning experience though and no matter how long this blog lasts, I'm sure I'll always be learning something new. -^_^-  That being said, I'm starting to wonder if I should be creating my posts ahead of time, say maybe a couple days before I post them.  Up to this point, I've been doing all of my posts the day that I post them.  To those of you who have blogs of your own, do you prepare ahead or do everything the day of?

 


Moving onto my outfit today, I love this pairing but I'm now realizing that I pair pink + green way too often-- I'll have to watch that in the future.  Anyway, this skirt is one of my favorites, the embroidery on the pockets is so dainty!


 

This necklace was my paternal grandmothers, I love the lariat style but the heart piece tends to slide down every few minutes.  It calls for adjusting throughout the day, but I love it so to me it's worth it. :)  

 

And...I'm finally introducing Chico!  A few of you have asked to meet him and here he is!  When I first met Chico, it was new territory for me because I've always had large breed dogs (I grew up w/ German Shepherds)-- Chico thinks he is large breed though, so it worked out!


Chico is a 4 year old Chihuahua and though I have known him since he was a puppy, I adopted him three years ago.  I had a friend who bought Chico as a puppy, when that friend and I became roommates I soon discovered that Chico was being neglected and abused.  I took the pup under my wing and when my lease was up, I adopted him.  I think it goes without saying that Chico's original owner and I are EX friends.



He's a really sweet dog most of the time but has some aggression issues with unfamiliar people because he was abused.  One of the things on my summer checklist is to get a trainer for Chico to try and help w/ the aggression.  Otherwise though he's a funny, happy-go-lucky boy who loves the dog-park, his dog-cousin Snickers and puppy-whip (cream) at Starbucks! -^_^-



And last but not least, a puppy picture! -^_^-

 I hope you are all having a great week thus far and enjoying summery weather!

    I loved that you rescued Chico sweetie, my cat was rescued from the streets as well. ♥

    And I have like backdated outfit posts for a whole month so what I usually do is after the day after I post an entry, I would see which outfit or topic is next and just choose the photos to put into the entry and maybe write a bit of the text.

    When the day comes for the post, I will just edit the text a bit more, and then viola publish! :)

    For this blog, I really haven't dedicated myself to it enough and just post as I want. As a note, I'm not a super blogger and I don't have a lot of followers.

    I have another tumblr blog that is pretty much a very simple music fan blog, but it has 400 followers and is constantly growing. That one I do everything in advance so that I can post every day of the week even though I only have time to edit it on the weekends.

    Comparing the two... the one I do in advance and update on a schedule does much better. I'm working to get this blog more regular as well and post weekly. Daily isn't going to happen for this one. lol

    Cute outfit and I love all of the photos! For some reason, I've never been able to schedule posts ahead of time... unless I do one the night before for the next morning. I like shooting, editing, blogging all in one go! It's fun! xo

    Your dog is just adorable!

    As for the blogging part, I usually prepare ahead if im doing a bigger post on something, but sometimes I just do it the same day. So it´s a bit different:)

    Hello chico, what a heart melter ...aww, I'm having total doggy crush over here!! As for my posts, yes prepared. I have days that I shoot, then I have days that I write... it helps me feel more sane. And I'm loving those two pretty hues paired together. Hope your day is a fab one. xx veronika
