Similar Look: New Form of Matching Outfit for Couples! Go The Sweetest! Recommendations



Hi! Today I'm going to post what I promised on the (POST: 'Matching Outfit: Nike Shoes').


When people have a good feeling about someone, people tend to
Syncronize their behaviors with the person.
For example, if the person you are fond of is touching your hair, you unconsciously touch your hair too. (POST: Imitation Mentality: Psychology of Emulation, Why do Dogs Yawn with Their Owners? is coming up!)





Couples' matching outfit has been populated for a long time, but due to the negative attention they get from those who are grossed out about it, SIMILAR LOOK altered the spot of matching outfits.


Couples used to match their outfit exactly the same only with different sizes, but now they secretly match their outfits, being able to express their individuality.





Here are some examples. Pick your favorite and comment below please!
Click 'Source' under the pictures if you want to access where the outfit is from. (They're mostly online shopping site).

Just to make sure, I have absolutely no connection with these sites! (I wish..)

1. 


They did not match any item, but they matched the tone (in a warm, yellowish brown tone).


Darker, browner bottoms and brighter tops give us feeling that they are matched.

2. 

Non-vivid colors match, with navy bottom for women and lighter navy top for men.

Personally, I love that the bow tie and the slacks match.











Source

3.

This outfit apparently feels like they are matching!
It's very easy to alter those items, easy to match with other items you have in your closet!










source



4.

Doesn't match your entire outfit!
Only one special item can give you the feelings of matching.

It does not have to be hard items to alter the example, as long as you have the 'feeling.'

Personally this is my favorite!















Source

5.

Include just one color, no need to struggle with all the different sense of fashion of your partner!

Not difficult to match, either!











Source

 6.

The sexiest one, I believe.

Match the color, not necessarily the items!
This outfit would look awesome at bitches beaches!












Source

7.


Toned tops, same color bottoms! 
Looks cute and neat :)










What was your favorite? Please Comment!

Hope I could help you with ideas to match with your partner! 
(Oh, right. You're single?)

Matching Outfit; Couple Shoes Review Nike Flyknit Lunar 3 and Lebron 12



Hi, Guys.
I recently got a pair of sneakers from Nike, matching with my boyfriend at Finish Line in Smith  Haven Mall in Lake Groove.
We really wanted to match the model itself too, but the difference of taste blocked us from that unfortunately. :(

The model names were Flyknit Lunar 3 for me, and Lebron 12 for him.

Flyknit Lunar 3 is the brand-new model of Nike, officially priced at $150. (Nike Store)
Lebron 12 is Men's Basketball shoes, officially priced at $200. (Nike Store)

Finish Line has almost the same price, $149.99, and $199.99. (I mean.... YKWIM)

We both bought them the color "Blue Lagoon," which is a mixture of light and vivid sky blue, black and standing out pink.


Source

I usually wear size 8.5 to 9, and I bought size 9 on Flyknit Lunar as suggested by the clerk who was helping me. The length fits me perfectly, but the width is a little bit tight, since I have wide feet. However the fabric is very stretching, so I decided to go 9.







My boyfriend usually wears size 9 to 9.5, and he went 9.5. He says it is stable to wear, and  he is very satisfied with the design.


This is how they look together.

Sony a5000 HONEST REVIEW with Sample Photos by SEL1650 (16-50mm power zoom lens) (Refurbished)




Good day, Fellas!
This is the post that I've been postponing, 


SONY ALPHA A5000
with 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens (SEL1650) REVIEW!

A5000L/W 기본이미지
Source



First of all, I'm letting you know I have ABSOLUTELY NO connection with Sony.
I promise you I'll be as honest as possible, during the whole post!


Now I'll tell you the reasons why a5000 had won all other alternatives that I was considering.

I have NO professional knowledge about photography, it is for beginners just like me.




First, Sony a5000 is lens-interchangable.

Oh, the mirrorless. Isn't that amazing.

The real adventure of photography is not only from the camera body, but all the variety of lens! The picture above are all alpha-lens by Sony.



If you still did not recognize the importance of lens, watch.



Source


SEL50F18 is extremely popular in South Korea, being called 'Girlfriend Lens,' that it is perfect for portraits, making a beautiful out-focused scene. 
(POST:Girlfriend Lens, Sony SEL50F18 Review is coming up!)

The more the lens is close to Micro, the more it captures wider view, thus, the wider you can focus at the same time, the more it is suitable for closer objects.

In the other hand, the more the lens offers macro photography, the narrower the view will be, the shallower you can focus at the same time, thus, the more the out focusing will be done, the more it is suitable for further objects.




Source



I know it sounds pretty confusing, but you will know as soon as you play with one or two lenses.






Second, a5000 is lighter than a cup of coffee!

Sony a5000 camera body only weighs 210g.
When added SEL1650, 326g.
A cup of americano? Apx.350g.


210g, 늘 휴대하기 좋은 가벼운 무게, 작고 스타일리시한 디자인







Third, 180 degree flip LCD or Selfies!

I'm not going to explain any further.

THIS, MATTERS, FOR, ME!!



source




Fourth, Low-end Price for a5000.


I did want a certain level of quality (at least to pretend to be professional) because unless I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my interest in photography soon. DSLR (Digital SLR) cameras were way too expensive for a beginner like me, but my little a5000 only cost me $399.99. 

Picture below is the chart from Sony, that you can choose cameras depending on your level.





Source
 I am absolutely satisfied with the quality of a5000, it is cheap enough, yet photos from my a5000 look great (at least for my amateur perspective).




There are some disadvantages people point out, though.

and that's why there's a5100, an improved version of a5000.

1. non-touchable screen

Touchable screen allows you to pick on screen where to focus.
This non-touchable screen doesn't bother me so much as it has a feature that you can move around your automatic focus center, and honestly, I enjoy learning how to focus on my own. It's fun! Just turn the lens a little bit, and enjoy the thrill of being better at photography!

2. Cannot use as a webcam (web camera)


Well, it's hopefully not impossible.
But a5100 has an easier way using Sony app that you can control it on computer and even some methods to stream video from the camera. For those who want to know, I found a video for you. (How to tether your camera to your computer)

A5000 needs just a device that you can read video signals from your micro-HDMI port on your a5000 and transfer it into your computer through USB.

I watched a numerous videos and read a lot of threads that explain how to use your digital camera as a webcam, but those only were about the old cameras, or DSLR that have video output on the camera body.

So I'm waiting for a lot of products that can transfer video signals into my computer, and I promise you, I'll share with you when I find the answer.(______)



3. Too small 

Oh, shut up. Be grateful.
I appreciate the mobility of my a5000.
It is smaller than my smart phone.


Source

But I guess when you get to use a bigger, professional lens, it might be inconvenient.
I hope I can afford a bigger, professional camera by then.



A5000 has a lot of useful features, like...

Micro-USB charger (same as the most of Android phones), Wi-fi, NFC, built-in flash, allows 16000 ISO, Soft Skin feature, 15 filters(Lomo, Retro..), steady shooting, panorama, 


I really wish it had a video-streaming app so that I could use it as a webcam,
but for now, I more than in love with my a5000.

It is perfect for beginners, after usual digital camera, I'm learning a lot by using my a5000.

Followings are sample pictures I took with my a5000 and SEL1650 bundle lens.

Refurbished: Is It Trustworthy? What is Refurbished?





Hello, Everyone!

Today I'm going to post about the "Refurbished."








I'm pretty sure that Apple users are quite familiar with the word 'refurbished,' since Apple provides refurbished products when you find your i-phone defective due to Apple's fault within a year (warranty policy varies by regions). People usually are more than happy that they can get a new phone instead of faulty a year or less old phone. 
(i-Phone Warranty Page)



source



So, What are Refurbished Products?

Refurbished products are the products that were returned once (or more) by another customer due to its defect, then repaired by the original manufacturer

For example, if I got a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 but I returned because its speaker did not work, Samsung takes the faulty Galaxy Note 3 and repairs it, and sell it again with a cheaper price. The important thing is, that the original manufacturer fixed it, in this case Samsung, not Geek Squad. 


Refurbishment is the distribution of products (usually electronics) that have been previously returned to a manufacturer or vendor for various reasons. Refurbished products are normally tested for functionality and defects before they are sold, and thus are the approximate equivalent ocertified pre-owned cars. - Wikipedia 

Sometimes the manufacturer uses a brand-new exterior if it shows some usage and fill it with the repaired content, and sometimes they just keep using the returned exterior. 

Then, Why do People Seek for Refurbished Products?

The very first and the last reason is, of course, because they are CHEAPER. 


For a very recent example, my loveliest a5000 with 16-50mm lens was paid for $339.99 instead of the official price of $448.00, which is apx. $110 cheaper for being produced by the same manufacturer, Sony!

(And one of this!! :D )


But, But, But, Can I Trust Refurbished Products?


However, I understand your worries, my whiny babies. 
For those who are afraid of buying refurbished products,
I can tell you that I'm usually not hesitant to buy refurbished products, b
ecause they look brand-new, and they work perfectly fine (when they did a good job this time!) and they are way cheaper than original ones!

Think about this.

When you accidentally broke a button on your LG Gpad (Tablet PC), whom do you call?
The original manufacturer, LG! 

To get GPad fixed! Then, what happens? 
You pay for the repair, and get your stuff back, with happiness that your Gpad works perfectly again!

A Refurbished product is not different from that, OK? 


So, my answer to 'Can I trust refurbished product?' is YES.(Doesn't mean that you can trust all sellers!)


But, I want my new laptop to be PERFECT!

I understand that! :)
It's your choice to accept a little hurt but perfect laptop or just non-touched new-born laptop!


I wish you Good Luck with your shopping, and

Box Opening!! My New Love, Alpha 5000 (a5000) Refurbished Mirrorless Camera by Sony


What's up, Everyone!
Today I'm going to review My New Love, Sony a5000 (white) because it has finally arrived! :)  Arrrggggg!!! So pretty!!!! 

After a long long consideration, I decided to buy a mirrorless camera.

First, I have to state that a5000 is a MIRRORLESS CAMERA, which is in between digital camera and DSLR, combining the advantages of both!

Mirrorless cameras do not include mirror in the middle of the body, so it is apparently, definitely, absolutely LIGHTer than DSLR (yay!). But Mirrorless cameras are able to change the lens (wow!). It has disadvantages though, that they cannot have an optical view-finder, which might be critical to professional photographers, because LCD screen somehow shows a little bit distorted view than actual optical view-finder. However, guess what? People like me, amateur photographers don't even recognize so much distortion! ;)
 

I have bought my little a5000 on Amazon.com, as refurbished at price $339.99.
(POST:What arerefurbished products?) 
I'm letting you know I have no connection with Amazon.com, it was just the best option that I can catch both of reliability and price together.


ANYHOW, I ordered on Friday March 6th, and surprisingly, I got it through UPS on Monday March 9th, even, at 10 AM!!!! I never expected it to come so early.....<3 I love you UPS and whoever worked for it...!!!!


It didn't come with an official Sony Box, but with every accessories that are included in the original box. This is good enough, great enough for me, at least I got a lot of bubble wraps to pop!

 

So there's my pretty a5000, with a poower zoom 16-50mm Lens, a lens cap, a warranty paper, a neck strap, a portable battery, a USB-microUSB cable, and a charger port that can connect to USB. What I like about the charger is that it works with my Galaxy note 3, and most of the other android phones or electronic devices.

 
This was the very first picture that I took with a5000, since the battery was charged very luckily! :)
So far that was my opening box review for a5000, but wait, there's more! My a5000 usage review is coming up soon! (POST:Sony Alpha a5000 Review)
