If you loved me...

You'd buy me this Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 it retails for $499.99 and does everything I need it to do. 

10.1 Megapixels Digital Camera with 3.8x 24mm Wide-Angle Leica Optical Zoom

 

(And being able to shoot in low light).

Oh how I love technology...

Until then,

Snow White: Harajuku

Taken on Omotesando Road in Harajuku, Tokyo

Wearing all-white in the fall or winter is an amazing feat but this girl pulls it off grandly. I love her turquoise accents and her slightly off-white handbag. I'd never wear all-white on my bike, I'd be too scared of getting dirty. I love her for her boldness.

Until then, BE BOLD!

Too Funny...

I just found these pictures in my email!

Another must do while in Japan:





Hop into a purikura (プリクラ) a.k.a. photobooth at your local arcade and get as creative as the machine allows! Oh and if your phone has infrared you can tap it on the machine and get the pictures downloaded directly to your phone. Otherwise you can wait 2 minutes for the sticker printouts.

Until then, Aren't we cutesy?

Inspiration Friday



I love the lighting, the hair (computer generated?) and the costume used in this shoot.  What I really want to know is how she's keeping her head up with those huge "chopsticks" in it. LOL. 

Until then,  Happy Friday!

Chay$ has a gift for you!

So many of you who know me and see me around love my pin/ logo I always wear.  


As a result I have made buttons for you who want them.  Send me a email with your address or ask me when you see me and I will graciously give.  The only thing I ask from you is:

1. take a picture wearing it (looking fly of course!)
2. let me take a picture of you wearing it.


I want to start a ongoing photo gallery of different types of people with different style loving the pin & me! LOL! Quantities are limited so act now, I will ship for FREE!

Until then, make sure you get yours!

Color Inspiration

The colors in nature always inspires me...check out some pics I took at the beach Sat:

So many oranges and yellows in this picture that blend well with that splash of fuchsia in the middle
I love the way that the green stems gradate and become burgundy



Until then, nature lovers!
