It seems like the holiday season should still be far away. But as I look at the calendar, I can see that Thanksgiving is literally just around the corner. The day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) marks the beginning of the holiday shopping craze. Getting exactly what your little Fashionista in Training is asking for, however, might not be very easy at that point. Stuff sells out so fast, especially when something is at the top of everyone’s wish list. So it certainly doesn’t hurt to start your shopping early! Below you will find my top handbag picks for the Fashionista in Training on your shopping list. These styles are young, funky, and fun. But you will also find them to be stylish as well, making them the perfect pieces for your special someone to build her collection on!
