smooth and silky.

spotlight on: Erika.

ladies and gentlemen, meet one of my loveliest and dearest friends, Er. i don't get to see her much anymore. but during the few times we do see each other, she's always well put together. very simple yet extremely elegant.

this is what she wore to Agnes' house party. what do you think?

i've always known her to be quite the Topshop/Zara addict. in fact, she can easily be the poster girl for high street fashion. which, in her case, is a good thing. usually, when people become high street zombies, the clothes tend to wear them. and not the other way around.

but Erika completely owns any outfit. her subdued confidence and her fresh personality brings life to whatever she has on. which consequently, is the real essence of style.

although she's a fan of mainstream fashion,

she still manages to make every look her own.

which is wonderful, of course.

here's to you, bebegurr! i miss you!

spotlight on: Tin.

ladies and gentlemen, meet my ever-so-bubbly friend, TinTin. i thought she looked incredibly cute today.

what do you think?

looks like she just jumped out of a time machine. as Loris points out, she could be one of the original Charlie's Angels. and she could be, indeed. i'm totally diggin' the whole 70's vibe of her outfit. how groovy.

the high neckline is perfect and her hairstyle compliments it really well. even her choice of accessories is flawless. the vintage timepiece and the diamond studs work hand-in-hand to create that whole retro-chic look. 

check out the details on the blouse.

wonderful job, Tin. so effortless.

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.
