Relocated!

Hi all! :)
This blog is now relocated to tumblr - the url is still the same, an-artful-life.com
Blogspot is just too annoying to use/format! I'll keep this blog up though so you'll still be able to look through the posts that are here :)
So pop on over to tumblr and follow this blog there!

Yesterday this lovely holographic, shiny skirt from Lucid 8 Boutique arrived in the mail, and I already totally adore it! <3
As I have a love of anything holographic/iridescent I have a few different bags that are a perfect match for it (the two in the photos above are from MAUDE Studio)! As well as shoes, jewellery, tops... I could go out looking shimmery from head to toe if I wanted, haha! However I chose to dress this skirt down a little today with a plain singlet and some low heels... Can't unleash too much sparkle and shine on the population of Perth, hehe! ;)

Rainbow Tuesday

Today I spent the afternoon with my best pal Devan (@speakofthe_devil). We went for a wander around her local park and snapped a few photos while we were there. Contrary to what these photos suggest, it was a cloudy day (for some reason I find that 'Blogger' warms the colour temperature of photos quite substantially once they've been uploaded...), a welcome bit of relief from the hot, sunny weather Perth has been having in recent weeks!

I also had a little cuddle with her chihuahua Daisy, who as you can tell by her facial expression totally LOVES me! :P

After listening to Ariel Pinks album 'Pom Pom' on repeat lately, I felt inspired to wear a makeup look inspired by his song 'White Freckles'. I dotted on some white freckles using acrylic paint, contrasted with a hazy smokey eye made up of a variety of brown/reddish tones.

I paired this makeup look with a whimsical outfit featuring a full tulle skirt and my most recent Lazy Oaf purchase, the 'Pastel Brick Shirt'. This was topped off with my h0les kaleidoscope glasses for a surreal twist, and my latest pair of shoes from YRU, the 'Pulse' platform. These are the most comfortable platform sandals I've ever worn - I definitely recommend purchasing a pair if you want to start wearing platform shoes but are nervous about feeling unstable. The sole is nice and flat and has a decent tread, so the thought of toppling over doesn't even cross my mind when wearing them! Heads up- you can grab a pair on sale at dollskill.com at the moment! :)

What I Wore Today: 20th December '14

Today was incredibly hot (damn Australian summer!) so I kept things nice, light, and white to try and keep as cool as possible! I kept a little bit of colour though with some fun triceratops earrings from Dinosaurs For Tea and glittery make up, and added some babys breath flowers in my hair for a little something extra! :)

These are a couple of photos Alex snapped of me when we went to the park this afternoon once the weather FINALLY cooled down thanks to a nice breeze! :)

Happy Monday making me very happy indeed! :)

Recently I had a package of lovely tops and skirts arrive from Happy Monday - I love everything so much that I thought I'd snap a few pictures to show you some of the super cute things they make! :)

The skirt featured in the photos below is also from Happy Monday, however this post mainly just shows some different tops - I couldn't find a location around my house that had adequate lighting while still having enough room to get my lower half in the photo too, haha! >.< I popped a little flat lay photo in as well to show a few other Happy Monday goodies I have too, because I know you guys will to totally love them! :D 

Stay tuned for future outfit posts which will feature more pieces from Happy Monday (skirts included, hehe! :P), and follow me on Instagram (@_katehannah) to see more! :)
