1 Year!

When I started this blog last November, I didn't really know where I was going. Heck, I tried to start this with Tumblr which was not working. I didn't have my posting down, I hadn't totally figured out my journey in life, let alone this little snippet of the internet, but I think I've come a long way.

check out my first year of outfits here

In celebration, I thought I would answer some questions I see in comments or have been asked in person a lot lately. So here it goes!

Why Of Corgis & Cocktails?

I was actually thinking of the Walrus and the Carpenter from Alice in Wonderful and was thinking about the line 'Of Cabbages and Kings' which brought me to 'Of Corgis and Cocktails.' So know, when I say my blog name, I usually preface it with 'The time has come the walrus said to talk of many things....' but in my head of course. I love outfits and clothing, obviously, but a lot of my blog is also about the dogs and food. Theses are two things I love to talk about - the corgis and cocktails.

What camera do you use?
I use a Canon 60D with two different lenses. Now, that being said, I also went to school for design for 5 years and do  a lot of my shooting with my camera on manual, and when I'm doing outfit posts, aperture priority. Remember, knowing your camera and how to edit will change the look completely. I use Adobe Creative Suite 6 with Photoshop and Bridge to edit all photos.

You live apart from your husband? How do you do it?
My husband Jason and I moved from Ohio in October 2011 - me to Pennsylvania and he to Florida to finish grad school. You can read a bit more about that and some tips here. How I do it - that's a mystery to me also guys. Sometimes I get all whiny about it too. Truth is, I focus on trying to get fit and be all pretty for when he sees me next, but I end up eating pretzels and wine on top of working out. Oops. But yeah. Because there is a end date, it really isn't all that bad. Also. this is the last month - I'm actually leaving for Florida as this posts! Huzzah!

How old are you?
I'm not quite 25 but I, for some reason, cannot remember I'm 24. So 25 in a few days.

Is that a corgi?
Teemo isn't a full bred corgi, it's true. He's a mutt with a large overbite and no docked tail. He's a mix of Pembroke Welsh Corgi with what I can only assume to be Jack Russel terrier, some other terrier, ferret, and fox. We call him a 'corgums' because he's a corgi mixed with 'umm I dunno.'

Have any other questions? I'll answer them in the comments!
