International Friendship Day: Charmaine Seah’s Gift Guide For BFF Aarika Lee

We celebrate International Friendship Day today by asking two BFFs – Charmaine Seah-Ong and Aarika Lee of the Female Collective – to pick out gifts for each other.

by ISABEL ONG  /   June 8, 2016

Friendship: It’s been sung about by all the greats, from Queen (“You’re My Best Friend”) to the Spice Girls (who can forget the line “if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends”?) to Rihanna (you know, it’s the one about sharing umbrellas). It’s also a thing in fashion circles – think Balmain’s army, the Alexander Wang gang and model besties Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne and their cute pet moniker #CaKe.

So with International Friendship Day being celebrated today, June 8, we’ve commemorated it the Female way: By asking two BFFs who have shared an 18-year-long friendship, a mutual love for all things fashion and an innate sense of each other’s sartorial choices, to curate a gift guide. The BFFs in question: the Female Collective’s Charmaine Seah-Ong and Aarika Lee. Below, get a glimpse of the snazzy accessories and rad outfits Charmaine picked out for Aarika.

“For my friend who loves dinosaurs as much as I do and will appreciate a good varsity jacket, especially in this stunning shade of copper.”

#2: Silk twill scarf, price unavailable, Dior
image

“Aarika is all about the #wraplife (spot her in colourful head wraps on Instagram) and I love the contrasting floral and geometric prints plus the unexpected colour combination of this piece.”

#3: Beaded clutch, price unavailable, Kate Spade
image

“Because every mum knows that pouches are the best way to organise their lives – and they’re all in desperate need of a vacation!”

#4: Metal earrings with aged gold finish and glass pearls, $830, Gucci
image

“Fun accessories are everything! It’s summer all-year-round here, so why not celebrate the heat in a cute but also luxe way?”

#5: Cotton top and denim jeans, prices unavailable, Diesel
image

“This outfit is the epitome of casual, effortless cool, and would be great for a day of running errands.”

#6: Plexiglas clutch with crystals, $20,690, Chanel
image

“Aarika studied film in school and has always been passionate about movies and film-making, so I imagine she’d love this clutch.”

#7: Brass earrings, $785, Chloe
image

“For her inner gypsy – she’s someone who loves to sing and dance.”

#8: Alix leather flap bag, price unavailable, 3.1 Phillip Lim
image

“Cross-body bags seem to be fast becoming a wardrobe staple for us mums as it keeps all our important things (phone, keys, money) close while freeing up our arms for wriggly, hyperactive babies.The combination of the bright red hue and interesting clasp make it a great statement accessory to have.”

#9: Kidskin leather pumps, $1,200, Celine
image

“There’s something about the chunky silhouette of this pair of retro-looking Celine pumps that Aarika can totally rock. I imagine it would be great for running after kids in too.”

#10: Silk top ($1,060), silk skirt ($1,160) and polyester-blend bucket bag ($1,690), all from Stella McCartney
image

“Polka dots, stripes and leopard prints? Only someone with a big personality like Aarika could carry this look off with ease.”
