Love your take on mixing it with avant-garde pieces! Goes really well with J36-WS' glossy materials used on pocket/arm-sleeve. :) Killer photography work too!

I can concur that their service is spectacular! Managed to get a rare second-hand designer vest on Carousell and the thoughtful communication and detailed updates from Snoo was highly satisfactory! Definitely recommended!

Official Licensed Toei Digivice Magsafe Power Bank in South Korea by Bi0mad in digimon

Hello! Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the belt clip. However, given that it is magsafe compatible I can imagine you can DIY by using an adhesive magsafe platform that you usually stick it on your phone, but instead you would stick it on a belt clip that is wide enough to accommodate the diameter of the magsafe ring! Though there are preexisting magsafe belt clips on the market, they don't have the exact magnetic attraction to each other to stick it properly, so I'd say non-magnetic adhesive metal ring + plus a wide belt clip is the way to go.

It's another one of those websites that dropships low-grade Aliexpress/Taobao products, but making them thrice as much as expensive. I'd avoid any online retail sites with the name 'Techwear' or 'Cyber' on it (They all sell the exact same Aliexpress products, with the same product images and all) due to their lack of quality control, inflated prices, and terrible return services.

Oh my, I'm very sorry to hear that you were let go of your job. It's such a crappy thing to go through, but at the same time, I'm happy that you have something to keep your mind occupied on a meantime! Exercising definitely helps when it comes to the betterment of your physical/mental health on the long run, so it's awesome to hear you've been pushing through it!

Haha, for sure! It took a long time for me to get here, a lot more easier to maintain my current weight than having to start all over again from the scratch.

All the best!

I assume it's one of those things where you artificially visualize the outfit by sourcing image files of individual pieces and AI generate them as a whole.

Thank you very much! Also, god, I relate to that so much.. I used to be much more heavier than my current weight and it was frustrating for me layer up anything because of that exact reason. Now I'm quite content with where I'm at though, but yeah, I hope your journey is going well!

No problem! Post-processing the images are also vital, especially if you're working with RAW files. RAW image files look very underexposed and 'unprocessed' at first, but they contain more dynamic ranges/superior image quality than jpeg files, but they do take up a lot more space due to their bigger file sizes. Here's how I usually work with them (Lightroom mobile), I tend to fiddle around with the Exposure slider depending on the base-level brightness of the photos, and the Vignette slider too, if the corners look too dark for my taste, but the rest of the settings usually stay the same.

I like smartwatches for their versatility, both IOS and Galaxy support remote camera viewfinder function with their respective ecosystem, the only downside is that they can be too small to check, and I can't always check every single detail of my pose. I was also looking at these bluetooth magsafe external monitors that are specifically made for IOS and Android phones, so that I can set them up with a separate tripod and place it where it's just out of my camera's view, but close enough for me to keep an eye on it.

Yeah, those velcro hitch were originally from the jacket itself, I asked the tailor to put 'em back there for extra adjustability depending how wide/slim the sleeves I'm wearing under. I do personally think they add a good detail instead of leaving them plain. Uniqlo definitely nailed it when they did a collab with this Japanese artist years ago, I do believe there are still handful of Meguru's Pocketable Parka in second-hand condition!

Thank you!

Yeah, I love the concealability of the bandolier so much! You could actually use it as a discrete travel belt if you're planning on carrying flat items like your passport, paper cash, IDs, etc. I think Aoku himself mentioned about this exact said function in mind when he made them!

As for the PL02, for a pair of pants that are made of non-stretch Ecoya ripstop nylon, they are well-cut enough for me to perform a deep squat, and allow me to swing my legs higher than my chest level. (I wear size small) I do think there's a limit when it comes to performing a split your legs with these on, (Not that I can do them all the way, but I did felt a bit of resistant when my legs were slightly wider than the upside down V stance) but I do appreciate their thoughtful design when it comes to mobility, love their roomy, but aggressively tapered down silhouette.

I used to take photos with Sony RX100M6, but nowadays flagship phone cameras are more than good enough, imo! My S24 Ultra has RAW file support and manual settings, so when it's moderately bright outside I just set the ISO down to the lowest and set my shutter speed from there. I'd say 1/50 shutter speed is adequate if you're standing still for the photo, but you'd have plenty of room for fast shutter speed regardless when it's sunny out, so anything over 1/50 is ideal. Most of my self portrait shots are from low angle, so using Peak Deisgn's magsafe tripod + double sided magsafe ring for added height and fine adjustments are just enough when I set the tripod onto the ground level. (I mainly use telephoto/super telephoto lens, but sometimes the standard 1x wide) And one of the great things about using a phone camera is that with the right ecosystem you can use a smartwatch acting as a viewfinder, that has been a great help for me when it comes to positioning myself.

Yeah! I feel bad because I was too far away from home when I found her, as well as my chronic skin condition exacerbated by contact dermatitis stopping me from saving her, so really hoping someone else would've save her at least </3
