Get With It: Carry A Bag.

Yep. I’m a woman who is obsessed with bags (and shoes). Here are a few manly bags worthy of checking out:

I’ve been hearing that question quite a bit lately. “Shouldn’t my socks be the same color as my shoes?” NO. Your socks should match your trousers NOT your shoes. Think of it this way: If you’re wearing black shoes and socks with grey trousers, the matching socks & shoes will trick the eye to give [...]
