Flat lays

FLAT LAYS.  What are they? To me, flat lays are basically pictures of your current obsession or favorite objects, laid out really attractively. From what I saw on Instagram, most people build their flat lays on the same color. Like, maybe you fancy pink, so you can build a flat lay around all the pink items you have!

Here are a few images of my favorite flat lays, I've seen them on pinterest/ig, but I googled these so, credits to Google images / who ever who own these :








Aren't they so well put together?! So yeah, basically, these are flat lays, it could be your collection of accessories, your make up, food, shoes, ANYTHING THAT LOOKS GOOD IN A SQUARE.

If it's not clear to you why am I doing this post even after what you just read above, I am obsessed with flat lays. Ever since my obsession started, I followed @flatlays to see flat lays from all around the gloabe & @margaretzhang because she makes such pretty flat lays on Instagram (yet to find other accounts, though), scroll through my explore page and stare at flat lays until my battery dies, go onto Pinterest and only search pictures under the heading of "flat lays". Can you tell that I'm obsessed yet? But, what frustrates me is the fact that I cannot come up with my own flat lays, AT ALL. I really have no clue how to even lay my items out. Yet, I still take many attempts to lay out some of my things. So, I started with the basics, my favorite colors such as black, white, gold, and silver. Just some simple items that would make my flat lay look less pathetic (or so I tried)

They're not just my favorite color, but also some of my favorite items.


Well, I've got about 3 more weeks until my finals are over, and I can finally put this semester behind me and enjoy my long awaited month's long break. To work on more flat lays, will definitely be one of my semester break projects apart from travelling(hopefully I can work on a travel vlog while I'm at it), more food hunting, getting back into photography and maybe I might even DIY some stuff? Looking forward to my semester break already. :)
