studs and ruffles.

spotlight on: Maita.

ladies and gentlemen, let me formally introduce my good friend Maita. i can truly say she's one of the most chica girls in school. this is what she wore today.
what do you think?
the inspiration for this look are said to be the editors and stylists attending Fashion Week. they're known to wear black at runway shows, as not to clash with the designers' creations. it's supposedly the safest color one can wear at such events.
certainly Maita would've blended right in,
if that was the case.
sporting an all black ensemble could be difficult. on an ordinary day, the first challenge is to avoid looking dull. the second one would be to shun away from looking like a mourner. that's why it's important to have different textures in your outfit. as you can see, the soft shiny details of her top goes well with the hard tailored look of her jacket.
choosing the right accessories is also essential to the success of your desired look. the cosmopolitan design of her YSL bag paired with the offbeat style of her studded shoes gave her that edgy sophisticated appeal that i'm sure she was aiming for.

neat and cluttered.

spotlight on: Loris.

if there's one fashionista worth featuring, it would be this gal Rizzy. she never fails to surprise me with her outfits. this is what she wore today. what do you think?
this is actually her being subtle. wait until you see her in her crazy-bright-colorful-flamboyant attires! it's absolutely entertaining. it's either you'd get super duper irritated or you'd get entirely captivated by her pizzazz. depends how you see fashion. of course, as a friend, i'm obliged to feel the latter. haha! but really. you can't help but admire her personal style.
about this outfit. i like it. very much. in fact, i'd even say this is one of her best. i love the uniquely tailored pants paired with the sexy stilettos and the wala lang white shirt. totally in vogue. plus the socks made it even more stylish.
brava, Loris. brava.
and yeah. excellent choice of accessories. what a good way to stack trinkets. not too much. just right. but ultimately, hon, the bag pulled it all together.

long and hard.

spotlight on: Laureen.

you all know my buddy, Lau. i bumped into her again. this is what she wore today. what do you think?
this look is actually hard to pull off. i'm sure most of you will agree that the long skirt isn't for everyone. for one thing, it's not at all flattering to a woman's body (sex appeal, where art thou?). but you've gotta hand it to this girl. she wore it well. styling truly is crucial when it comes to odd pieces like this palda.
although personally, i think the entire outfit would've looked much better if the skirt was a lot shorter (show those legs!), i still think she managed to look cute. besides, if you're a schoolmate, you know how strict the university dress code is. that's why we kids need to be more creative!
what tied it all together? her accessories.
i love the Cartier-ish cheetah ring. just wonderful.
