so i am your typical girl when it comes to shoes and bags. i loooouuuurve them, especially big and colorful ones like this one i'm rocking around town. the pop of magenta pink makes my eyes go ga-ga and the number of pockets that line it would make any neat freak...well, freak!

and my favorite part? amykathryn's My Bag is Her Bag program where they support women in poverty around the globe by teaching them the trade of making handbags on their own! in purchasing their clutches and bags, you support these incredible women and their families. 

{meet amykathryn.}
