Shake That Polaroid Picture!

I had been in a bad mood since yesterday (not sure why, should I blame it on the hormones? or maybe I was just bored?) until I found remedy in blogwalking and landed in bryanboy's world. And from one of his posts, I discovered this cool software called poladroid which converts your photos to digital polaroids.

I was excited that I installed the software right away and converted heaps of photos ever since.

Here' some of them (taken in Melbourne Zoo, during my 5-day-trip in April with my beloved Panasonic Lumix FX38).

My nearly narcissistic photo ;P

Aren't they adorable??

And this one is an old photo from my family holiday in Bangkok.

And yep, you guessed it right! I'm the little girl in yellow tee. Doesn't my Dad look ultra cool in this photo? :)

You can download the software here (they've got both Mac and Windows installer!)

That Second Skin

As they resurrected their way back to fashion in '06, I thought the era of the leggings ended along with the year and won't be back at least for a decade. But that notion was wrong.

After they disappeared for a while (at least from my sight) , it crept its way back to fashionista's wardrobe recently. But this time, instead of being plain colored or with a touch of a bit of lace at the end, it came back with a twist!

The most popular would be wet look leggings which looks like leather. I guess the one responsible for making it ubiquitous would be Rihanna.

But it didn't stop there. There's also printed leggings, which doesn't really suit to my liking. But who knows, maybe I might change my mind someday and eventually wear them? In fact, after looking at the picture below, I started to be somewhat interested in getting one. Hmm...

And there's also denim leggings, which is my current obsession. While looking for a pair of skinny jeans last weekend in Topshop last weekend, my mother got these leggings instead.


This is a good alternative to those who fancy skinny jeans but want to give their leg a break from that tightness. I was going to buy one too, actually. But I already fell in love with this skinny jeans and couldn't resist in purchasing them Hence I was broke and got to hold that idea until payday arrives. *sigh
