We confess ... it is a challenge sometimes to keep up with the latest fashion trends when you're always on the go. But that's where Windows 7 comes in - it's the best way to gossip with your friends about what's abuzz in the fashion world.
Windows Live will simplify your life with innovative tools that let you create, connect, and share so you'll always know about the latest shoes, handbags, and accessories. And, it's as easy as coordinating this season's greatest accessories! Get Windows 7, download Windows Live Essentials and get on the cloud.
Imagine this: You're out on the town snapping photos of the latest fashion trends. Use Photo Fuse to combine them into one perfect shot. And, if you're using your smart phone to capture these cutting-edge styles - or, to see how something looks on you in the dressing room (we all do it!) - Windows Live makes it easy to share them with all of your devices. You can sync your files across multiple PCs so you and your friends can talk about these breakout designs the minute you see (or try) them.
Best of all, you can share your photos at lightning speed with the people who matter most to you. Windows Live Photo Gallery lets you upload your album in just one click to all of your social media accounts. And, you can share endless photos without clogging up your inbox. Think of it as the digital version of a really good shoe organizer!

In the past few years, digital cameras have been all the rage; many of them now include video options, panoramic capabilities and a multitude of other features that I have no idea how to handle. Most everyone has, or has access to, a digital camera; and with the hyper-popularity of Facebook, we can post our documented activities for all to see. While I'm just as hooked on social networking as anyone else, I do miss the days of physical photographs and making bulletin board collages to add a touch of personality to my room. But the process of taking your memory card to a photo center, choosing which pics make the cut, then waiting for an hour PLUS having to pay is just too much in this new world of instant gratification. Speaking of instant gratification, remember the Polaroid? That little, boxy camera that spit out little, boxy photos that appeared with a few flicks of the wrist? Well, they're back and better than ever! With a new, sleeker look and instant high quality pics (you won't have to sprain your wrist trying to get an image to appear either), the Polaroid 300 is the newest thing from the picture taking past. The Polaroid 300 allows you to snap pics of the memories you'd like to keep and give you an instant, business card sized glossy print that you can keep and look at without having to sift few thousands of other pictures on your thumb drive or FB photo albums. Bring one to your next big event and start snapping!
