For The Girlie Girl
She has a soft personality, wears ruffles, frills and flowy skirts, and is all for pastel shades. She loves anything that feels sweet and pretty so go for charms with baby pink, hearts, or pearls. Keep it simple—because chances are, her bag already has a few ribbons on them.

For The Girl Who Only Wears Black
