I received that beautiful painted box above last week for my birthday - thank you Kelly! - and the colours just seem to come together so easily for this flat lay. This Summer I've been obsessed with images and prints of pineapples - not that I love to eat them per se (with the exception of in a burger), but rather the tropical, tutti-fruity bubblegum, Bahamas-esque vibe of what a simple fruit design can bring across. Coincidentally, coral pink hues in the form of easy, breezy lip stains/balms, unfussy foundation and a handy compact mirror seemed to capture the laziness most, if not all of us seem to take up on a hot Summer's day. I have my fingers and toes crossed selfishly for the heatwave to stretch one more day so I can have my fair share of sun and sand tomorrow!

Flux

Flux Issue #1 by Amanda Chan

Back in Semester Two of 2013, I was given a computer task of creating a Zine from scratch in order to learn some skills on Adobe Indesign. This is what I created, a compilation of upcoming Australian talents within the creative industry, some of my styling works and a bit of personal content thrown in the mix. Pulled from the archives of my hard drive, this is Flux.

I'm wearing: Don't Ask Amanda Cut Out Dress / Girl Express Chunky Boot / Lovisa Tribal Necklace / Vintage Bracelet / 

I've been playing it by instinct lately and so far its been serving me well. This dress was a last minute birthday purchase just idly hanging on the walls at General Pants, waiting to be picked up. Needless to say - I saw this outfit in my head the moment I laid eyes on it, tried it on, and snapped it up eagerly in less than 10 minutes. Floral dresses have a soft spot in me, and will always be forever perfect paired up with a nice chunky, worn-in pair of (black) ankle boots. It's always the best back-up ensemble.

Also enjoy my bare face in it's make up free bliss. It's nice to just wake up some days and not have to worry about a make up routine. In saying that, I would love to know if anyone has any make up favourites for the Summer? The furthest I could venture out into products was switching my foundation routine to BB cream and a bit of concealer instead of Studio Fix. I'm contemplating on tackling illuminators next...
