Best Digital Camera for a 16 year old?

I am majoring in art, and currently own a Nikon D60. I love it. But I realized it’s not the best for carrying around to the mall, parties, park etc. So I was planning on buying a pocket camera for my up coming birthday.

I’ll probably use it for taking pictures of friends and also macro and landscape shots.
I want a camera that can deliever high quality like an SLR camera. (close to it)
- OPTICAL ZOOM must be included.
for looks: I want a small and silk looking camera so Im able to carry it in my pouch.

Brands are not a matter:
Nikon - landscape, nature, scenery
Canon - portraits, macro
Sony - built for teens, but mostly average on all subjects. (macro, nature etc)
- I would strongly want a camera which can perform all of these.
Is there any recommendations for which camera is the best in my situation?
as well as those cameras i should stay away from?
