The Business of Blogging

Blogging_What Would V Wear_Social Media

My Monday’s are typically very busy. I’m catching up on all of my emails and social media, as well as preparing my content for the rest of the week. I get up around 6:30AM each morning and start working around 7:00AM. I try and finish by noon, take a break and then use the rest of the afternoon for meetings and/or editing blog content for the week ahead.

Sometimes I cannot help but smile when people think that the life of a blogger is glamorous. Now it certainly has its very special perks that make it seem very glamorous but being a professional blogger also means: A lot of work.

The pressure is constant – being a digital publisher means to come up with content that is not only visually attractive but also ‘entertaining’ at the same time. People visit your blog for many different reasons — but I doubt most of my readers come to simply look at my pictures. Well, I hope they don’t. We all have a unique voice, and I’m really trying to use my own. I try to share my story with you — hoping that we can learn from each other.

Around 4PM things start calm down and I can actually relax a bit before I officially stop working by 5:30PM. Having a set schedule each day is extremely important to me. I treat my “work from home” situation just like my former corporate job where I had my set hours.

How about you?! How do you treat your blogging business? Or perhaps blogging is your hobby? Either way, I’d love to hear from you!

As always, thanks much for reading & have a fabulous Monday!

Much love.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
— Aaron Siskind

Over the last couple of months I’ve gotten quite a few emails regarding my photography. Many of you asked me what camera my husband and I use, and what editing tools I primarily work with. Hence I decided to dedicate an entire blog post on my photography today.

Below are some questions I’ve received via emails and social media. I hope you’ll find this post informative and helpful, and don’t forget to comment below if you have any other questions, or perhaps you want to share some of your photography tips with me?! In any case, I would love to hear from you!

Happy Reading!

What camera do you use?

I use a Nikon D3000. Most of my style posts are being shot with a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S lens.

Who edits your pictures and what tools do you use?

I edit my pictures myself and I primarily work with Lightroom. Lightroom is especially useful if you shoot in RAW because that way you can edit your pictures to your own liking.

Who takes your outfit post pictures?

My husband (so, cliché!). However, I take all of my flat lays, product images and social media pictures myself, and the pictures for this post were also taken by yours truly.

Do you take pictures with your cell phone?

I do, but I must say that I prefer my DSLR camera much better. My iPhone takes great pictures, don’t get me wrong, but it simply cannot compete with a DSLR.

Do you have photography tips for new bloggers?

First and foremost, you need to remember that no one takes a perfect photo every time, including myself. It takes practice, practice and practice. To learn how to edit photos I strongly recommend attending photography classes, or watch some Youtube videos online. For instance, I learned how to use Lightroom via Youtube.

Don’t give up, and keep educating yourself!

Thanks much for reading, and don’t forget to comment below if you have any other questions!

Much love.

How to Wear Moto Jackets

Moto Jackets: “Embrace your feminine edge!”

I’ve long been a fan of moto jackets. I love the urbanite look it creates, and it also adds a little bit of edgy into your day-to-day wardrobe, wouldn’t you agree? My biker jacket has an asymmetrical front, and sharp zipper details which I very much adore.

I bought this jacket not too long ago when I discovered that my former moto jacket (see this post here) was ruined by one of my dogs, Cali. She actually chew the zippers off! She did that when we literally left the house for about 15min… Story of my life. I was a bit upset — but how can you really stay mad at a dog as they watch you with those BIG puppy eyes? Yep, it’s impossible! I got a new one instead and cuddled Cali, as always.

Now back to this jacket, and how I like to style them. I personally like to play with different fabric textures. For instance, I’m wearing a corduroy front-button skirt paired with my leather moto jacket. It creates a different look and it embraces my feminine edge at the same time. I also like to play with the silhouette. My motorcycle jacket ends at my natural waist, which makes them perfect for wearing them with skirts, dresses and pants.

How about you? How do you style your moto jackets? Let me know by commenting below!

As always, thanks much for reading & have a fabulous Wednesday!

Much love.

Denim girl: “I’m all about spicing up your daily denim with vibrant hues, fun accessories and chic heels.”

We enjoyed some sunshine this weekend, and I cannot tell you how good it felt! We met up with some friends for dinner, and I had a girlfriend come over for coffee this past weekend. Which brings me to the importance of friendships. I’m the type of friend that once I consider you part of my life I’ll be your friend for a lifetime. I’m very loyal to the ones I consider dear to my heart. We live in a society where we spend way too much time on our mobile devices rather than connecting with others in real life. Being a digital publisher – I even have to remind myself to “keep the darn phone down”. I try and balance it by making sure that my weekends are more or less cell phone/social media free. Of course, I have scheduled content that goes up because overall this is my profession, but I really try not to spend too much time in doing so.

But let’s get back to today’s OOTD, shall we? It’s funny that I actually consider myself a denim girl now. Because in the past I never liked wearing denim. But I guess, once you find a good pair you won’t stop wearing them. Just like friendships. Once you found a gem you’ll make sure to never let go of them.

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a fabulous Monday!

Much love.
