Diamonds may fall at the top of the list for being a girl’s best friend, but a chic yet multifaceted handbag is the next best thing – if you ask me. Many women practically live out of their handbags. I’m simply lost without my personal carry-on. Why? The reason is simple – it has everything one could possibly need at any given moment: small snacks for a quick bite, high-heels for a potential glam night, a teeny-tiny first aid kit for whatever life throws at you, and the list could go on. Mixing style with versatility is an ideal factor for a student on the go to a top corporate woman. With a new season on the horizon, we’ve narrowed down a few trends for you to splurge on to help you find a new best friend – whatever your price range!
