Olympus PEN E-PL2

Hey peeps! Do you still remember when we took a part in Indiedays' Olympus Street Fashion contest? I got second most votes in audience's voting, thank you everyone for your votes ♥ The jury made the final judgement. A person who got most votes from audience, got one extra vote in jury's voting. Despite of someone else got an extra vote, I still got most votes from the jury. So that means - WE WON THE CONTEST!


My photo on Indiedays top page saying "Zhizhi is the winner of readers' street fashion contest". It felt so unbelievable and unrealistic when I heard that we won. Because I never really won anything XD


This was the contest photo. Can you believe that with this unsignificant photo we won - Olympus PEN E-PL2 cameras worth 700 euros?!


Both person in the photo and person who took the photo got new Olympus PEN E-PL2 camera. So me and Laura got ours not so long ago. Awesooome! Loved by pros, made for you. (Ignore disturbing shit on background)


So.. what is this actually?

"Digital PEN is totally new concept in photographing. Thanks to its mirrorless structure it is the size of a compact camera. The photoshell is still the size of Four Thirds cameras' shells. Changeable lenses guarantee quality and flexibility of a system camera. Not a compact camera, not a system camera. It's a PEN!"

Haha~ So in other words I could say that it's mini sized system camera if that's right. I'm not a camera expert! O.O


I have been testing it a lot and I'm still kinda trying to learn how to use it properly. I think I should read the quide book completely to discover all tricks to take great photos! Already now I can say that I'm really in love with this camera. I was way too lucky!


Test photos to show the quality. It's so good compared to the quality of my compact camera which I still like a lot.


Oh yeah!




Flash is very effective and what is the best thing - colours look very natural. My compact camera's flash gave a red tone for my all pics. Powerful flash starts to hurt my eyes after a while, though.. XD

As I said I haven't yet discovered all tricks and specialities of this camera. But by accident I found "art-section". Ready photoshopped photos right away! XD


Pop art. High saturated.


It's really good when photographing colourful things - such as pear juice. I look mega tanned here.


Soft focus. My favourite!!!


Blurred angel baby face! I think I'll use this a lot :D


Grainy film. Not really my style. I think this doesn't fit for person photographing but more for items and landscapes.


It fits for example for photographing a poker set XD And lol there's my hair, too.


Pin hole. Eeh pretty nice, but nothing special.


Diodrama is even less special.


Dramatic tone lmao. Not really for person photographing or you will just turn out to look like an angsty teenager hahaha. This should be used for some "dramatic views" hehe.


Yuppies! Why are mirros always dirty. I hope to learn much more about this camera so I can take the best photos as possible. I won't quit using my beloved blinged pink compact camera, though. It's more practical to bring with me everywhere daily. At least at first I will use PEN for special cases and photoshoots but who knows, maybe very soon I'll drag it with me everywhere! XD

VOTE for me! ♥

I already mentioned this in one entry but I think not everyone noticed it so I'm going to tell about it again.


Me and Laura (as a photographer) took a part in Indiedays' Olympus Street Fashion contest. Our photo was picked out to the top 10 best photos and now audience can vote for their favourites.

Winner will get a Olympus PEN E-PL2 camera: both photographer and person in a photo! So please help us to win this contest!

Actually, a jury will choose the winner but photo which gets most votes from audience, will get one extra vote. Maybe that one vote is crucial~

new nails and more~


Last weekend was warm so I had to use chance to enjoy sun in a park. I'm dreaming of getting little tanned * - *


Hoho no park hangout without delicious provisions ^_^


My little company for Saturday ♥


I also did those heart-shaped raspberry jam filled doughnuts on last weekend! Yum yum~

But what's the main point for this entry.. NEW NAILS!!!

I did it all by myself: acrylic sculpture nails with gel coat and decorations. Aren't those so cute? *3* I think they are by far the best nails I have ever made.

Isn't it hard to take pictures of your nails? I think it is haha~ I asked my bf to take that photo but he wasn't very keen as he was just playing some online game. He quickly snapped this photo so it just have to be good enough hahaha~ And yes I know, my fingers are so ugly, thin and deformed. O___O


Close-up to 3D ribbons! I think they turned out well thought I'm not yet pro at doing 3D nail art. Ugh but what I hate about gel nails is that there comes cracks on gel so easily >_<


This length is perfect in my opinion. Not too creepy long, but still long enough to make some showy nail decorations.

And lastly! Me and Laura (as a photographer) took a part in Indieday's Olympus Street Fashion contest. They picked out 10 best photos for voting and they picked out also our photo yay! So we are now part of the contest ^___^ If you have little time, please go and vote for our photo, thanks! ♥

What makes me smile

Heippa! Olen mukana Indiedaysin ja Samsungin Smile -kampanjassa. Siihen liittyen sain blogihaasteen, jonka ideana on kertoa mikä saa minut hymyilemään.

Oon tällä hetkellä erittäin tyytyväinen elämääni ja on todella monia asioita, jotka saa mut hymyilemään. Olisin melkein halunnut kertoa niistä kaikista, mutta päätin nyt valita hymyilyttävimmäksi asiaksi hauskanpidon parhaiden ystävien kanssa. ♥



Mikä onkaan sen hauskempaa kuin viettää päivä ystävien kanssa? :D Saadaan vaan riehua, nauraa, ottaa hulluja kuvia, shoppailla jne. Meillä on joka kerta kun nähdään niin hauskaa ja keksitään aina milloin mitäkin tekemistä! Vaikka on ihanaa viettää aikaa poikaystäväni ja perheeni kanssa, jää ystävien kanssa vietetyt hauskat päivät erityisen spesiaaleina mieleen.

Valitsemastani kuvasta voisi lisäksi mainita, miten myös aurinko, kesän tulo ja Lintsillä hengailu saavat hymyn huulille. Kyseinen kuva on siis todellinen onnellisuuden tiivistymä! Oma hymyni tosin peittyy yllä Jaen käden taakse :D Noiden hyppykuvien katseleminen ei saa minua ainoastaan hymyilemään, vaan suorastaan naurusta räkättämään. Varsinkin tuo vähän liian korkealla nouseva hameenhelma 8D

Smile -kampanjan ideana on lisäksi levittää hymyä kaikille, eli haastaa mukaan 3 muuta bloggaaja kertomaan: "Mikä saa sinut hymyilemään?"

Itse haastan mukaan ihanimmat tytöt:
♥ Jae (Heyday Hauté)
♥ Laura (Dolly Love)
♥ Kreetta (Choose Sugar)

Tässä vielä haasteen ohje selkeytettynä:

1. Ota itsestäsi teemaan sopiva kuva.

2. Julkaise kuva blogissasi ja kerro kuvan yhteydessä lyhyesti,
mikä saa sinut hymyilemään.

3. Haasta mukaan kolme bloggaajaa.

4. Mikäli haluat osallistua myös kilpailuun, jossa voi voittaa
Samsungin uuden älypuhelimen, käy linkkaamassa haastepostauksesi
osoite tänne: http://indiedays.com/showroom/samsung-galaxy/

5. Liitä mukaan tämä teksti: Mikä saa sinut hymyilemään? Käy
katsomassa bloggaajien kuvat ja osallistu äänestykseen, jossa
palkintona uusi Samsung Galaxy II -puhelin:

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. JUST SMILE (*^____^*)v

Lookbook & new clothes

Uh~ I survived May Day weekend! XD Now it's time to sit down to do some blog posts again.

I had almost gone crazy as I can't afford any clothes shopping right now. But I got some relief for my misery! Last week I got a package of new clothes. Oh, now you wonder how did I have money for them then.. it's because I ordered before moving out so it was still that time when I had money to buy everything fun haha. It jsut didn't arrive until now. Seriously, I want job so bad! I have sent so so many job applications but still no favorable answer.

Anyway, now let's take a look at the new lovelies I got here


W❤C top


Leopard skirt from W❤C. The layers are very voluminous, love it~!


Another top from W❤C


Maybe some of you are wondering.. ehh what's with that strange name of the brand?! Well, it doesn't stand for a rest room, but for a designer's initials: Wakatsuki Chinatsu. Quite funny coincidence. But you shouldn't laugh "muahaha what a fail!" as the designer loves using some toilet humour on her clothes.


How about "where is the rest room?" top?




Sweater and pants with "poo" & "pee" print..? ;D


But remember.. "Not here toilet"

If you are curious about W❤C brand, I recommend to check out Wakatsuki Chinatsu tumblr. I found it very inspring!

http://wakatsukichinatsu.tumblr.com/



My favourite out of all was this Liz Lisa dress!! ♥ ♥ ♥ Just looooove.


Besides I bought.. Hello Kitty laundry hanger! Ahahah~ I was already aware that I would move out very soon so I decided to get some home items, too. There were so many cute HK home stuff but didn't order more this time, maybe later again~


Yay too cute~

Last, but not least.
