I love it when my favorite designers come out with beautiful handbags in my favorite colors. It’s a perfect intersecting of things I like. This is also a bit of a departure for Rebecca Minkoff, I think. I was getting used to seeing streamlined bags with fringe or studs from her. Every designer has a signature style, sure, but it’s not good when all their designs start to look the same. That’s a sure sign they’re on their way out. But then there are some designers who do have a constant component, and they just change what goes around it. Like Harveys Seatbelt Bags. They’re all made from seat belt fabric, obviously, but in all kinds of colors and even patterns. The bags also come in different shapes and sizes, but they still all have a similar look because of how they’re woven from real seat belt material. It seems to work for them, though, because those bags only grow in popularity. Anyway, I like seeing something new and different from a designer, and that’s what struck me about this Rebecca Minkoff Eyelet Nikki Hobo.

Just like I wasn’t a huge fan of flip flops until I had my personal conversion, I really don’t like them on guys. In fact, I don’t like any sandals on guys, period. You know why? Because just like women who put on sandals without a proper pedicure bug the crap out of me, very few men ever go get a pedi, so sandals on them are even worse. Yeah, I know I talk about this a lot. But feet are weird. Don’t you ever see a really pretty woman, with long, slender legs, then you get to her feet and they’re these lumpy things with short, crooked toes. It looks like she got the wrong feet or something. And then there are those people who stuff their feet into hot, confining shoes day after day, and never bother to use a pumice stone or do any other maintenance before they switch over to sandals. Ew. If you’re not going to bother with even the most basic foot care, keep them covered up and spare the rest of us from having to look at your funky feet, ok? By the way, my personal tip for keeping things smooth and avoiding having to use a sander on my heels? Neutrogena Foot Cream after every shower, without fail. Anyway, although my personal preference is to not see a guy in sandals, for those who do wear them, I can at least recommend some nice ones so they don’t settle for flip flops from Walmart or something. And ladies, if your man does wear those cheapies, you need to get him to upgrade. And if you can get him into a pedi chair, even better. Then get him to try this To Boot New York Men’s Oliver Slide Sandal.
