Leopard Christmas of a Biologist

Here I share to you my Christmas outfit for 2011! :D It has been a tradition to myself to choose a one-of-a-kind outfit every time we celebrate Christmas. Well, that "tradition" actually started only a few years ago after realizing that somehow the clothes we wear tell something about who we are. :D So for this year, I chose to "express" my Biologist vibes! :D

I opted for a dress with a leopard print! What made me choose this is the blue-to-green base color of it. It is unusual to get a leopard dress that has this color 'coz most of the time we only see the brown kind or the white one with blue leopard print. :D I definitely LOVED this outfit because it has green tones, and more often than not, I associate green color for Biology, particularly Botany, due to it being the study of plants. :D

For my make-up, I'd like to emphasize on the eyeliner and lip color! I totally like the cat's eye effect LOL, so yea.. I used Nature Republic Simple Gel Eyeliner in Dark Brown. It's actually my first ever gel eyeliner so I have good feedback on it! :D And then for my lips, it's Nature Republic's Petite Cherry Rouge M23 that I blogged about before. :D

I also wore a Christian Siriano sandals to match the grey tones of the dress. NOW, you may realize the reason as well behind me choosing a turquoise shade of nail polish! ^-^

For my accessories, I had a red bow earrings from Y.R.Y.S. (a gift from my thesis partner, Bea), A Lady Bug (Family Coleoptera) ring from Jellybeans which I bought months ago, and a rhinestone-filled watch from Fossil (a gift from my sister abroad). :D  I didn't wear my watch and ring anymore during the Christmas Day itself (hence I don't have it in the other pictures!^-^) coz we were only at home la~~

I decided to make a LookBook account because I was really influenced by you, dear bloggers! :)) This will be my first entry and "look" and I hope we can support each other through this. LMAO. So yea, HYPE ANYONE? :> ^-^ I love looking at all your style and it made me wanna hype them and fan you all! So there, I decided to make one. lols. :D

So to end this entry, here are few more pictures! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS

P.S. I want to thank my cousin Emem for being my photographer! ♥ Lovelove!

Nature Republic Petite Cherry Rouge M23

I have this penchant for pretty pink lipsticks nowadays that whenever I go to cosmetic shops, the first thing I visit is the counter for lipsticks and/or lip care. Since Nature Republic is already in town, I might as well visit the place, I said to myself! :D I bought a couple of things from them making me an official member/card holder yesterday #thingsthatmakemegiddy

So here is my current fave lipstick! ~ Petite Cherry Rouge in Light Pink. It's relatively small compared to the usual lipsticks I have but considering that it costs half the usual price of lipsticks around 500 bucks, this is already a good buy! It has not dried my lips, so it's a good thing!  It also has this mild, not really that distinguishable, cherry scent so it doesn't really irritate the senses. I've been using it for days already. :D

So there! I wonder if this is how I cope with stress lately. XD Instead of eating, I go buy some pretty things that make me happy and girly at the same time. Till next time! Xox~

P.S. Nature Republic is located at the 4th floor of SM the Block
