Vivienne & April in Topshop

I do love the fact that, most often than not, I’m armed with my DSLR whenever I go out. Even when I’m just having coffee at a café located right across the street from where I crash and work, mind you, simply because I never fail at the chance of a photo op with stylish individuals I would encounter.

Meet best friends, Viv and April, two lovely ladies whose personal style I’d spotted as they grabbed the table right next to ours (my “sweet” boyfriend and I). They graciously agreed to being photographed when asked and was even kind enough to list down where they got what they were wearing that night.

On Viv (in blue):
Shirt Dress from Topshop
Sandals/Shoes from Australian
Shoulder Bag from Zara

On April (in grey):
Tunic from Topshop
Leggings from Topshop
Shoes from Zara
Handbag from Louis Vuitton

Each of the lady’s personal style created an impression on me that it’s distinctly European. No wonder. Simply because Topshop is brit — I love Topshop! — and the wearer should have a clear grasp of this particular fashion in order to successfully pull it off. They did, therefore, they have. Brilliant!

Incidentally, Viv works for Summit Media. And no, Viv, yours and April’s style are both fabulous that’s why I dared myself to come up and ask for the photo op. LOL. Seriously, it’s worth the feature. And I apologise for intruding on your night out but thanks for accommodating my request anyway!

So, ladies (and gents, perhaps?), the next time you see me around, do let me take a photo of you esp if you’re one of them fashionistas. Let me capture and feature the flair in the city and show the rest of the world.

    Hi ms. Sasha! The Zara shoes are great! I wish they also shared where they got their necklaces!

    That’s cool, Frances! :D The Tunic and the Dress from Topshop does look great. Good to know there are more Filipinas sporting European fashion. ;)
    Oh, I’m sorry, Kai. I failed to ask about the necklaces and even the bracelet that Viv was wearing that night. :( I’ll try and make up for it. Check out Style Manila in the next few days. ;)

    [...] Kai, a recent commenter, said that she liked the Zara shoes April was wearing on my Style Sighting post, Filipina Fashionistas Wear European Fashion and she had also wanted to know where the necklaces were bought. So, since I failed to note the latter, I thought I’d go and look around for something to make up for it. [...]

    That’s good to know, Bernice. I guess this particular Topshop Shirt Dress is pretty popular. :)
