Teen Designer to Watch: Ashley Bess

I'm all about supporting young and fabulous entrepreneurs, so when a 16-year-old named Ashley Bess emailed me about her online store, I had to take a look. Turns out that "Ashley's Unique Shop," as her e-boutique is called, is filled with cute handbags and goodies that she makes herself.

I'm especially enthralled with her $5 Quarter Earrings, which she fashions out of actual coins. That's putting your spare change to good use, girl!
