fashionable philanthropy

I had an interview today for the Nordstrom Fashion Board at our local mall which was super exciting! Crossing my fingers I'll get in. But afterwards I had some extra time, and a light load of homework so I decided to take a little stroll around and inevitably popped into one my favorite stores: Kate Spade. I wasn't planning on buying anything, but as I was walking around one of the display tables, I noticed a little bowl of friendship bracelets. I picked one up and read the tag which said, Kate Spade has teamed up with the Artisans of Masoro, "over 150 Rwandans whose skills have become the foundation of a new small business that is reshaping the quality of life for 20,000 people in their community". It's called ONPURPOSE.  And even cooler, each tag has the name of the person who made the bracelet on it, an even more personal touch that really connects you to the cause. It tugged on my heartstrings and resonated with my love of helping support others, so I had to pick one up...

Oh! And did I mention they're adorable! 

Go out and buy one today, and support a cause that's worth it.
