Hi party people! Remember that installment I once started and never continued forward with? It was called Man Repelling Designer Awareness. It's okay if you don't, but it's back. And in light of the nature of this day--a Monday that also happens to double as the first day of the final month of summer--I thought it necessary to spotlight very promising beginnings, a little somethin' somethin' that will most definitely induce an excited welcome bandwagon for Fall. Today I give you: Helena and Troy.
handbag: Helena and Troy
A collection of handbags that sometimes look like lunch boxes! Eureka! It's a cute story, actually. You see the girl behind the assembly of one of a kind handbags has this brother. He's tech savvy and one time wrote a post for The Man Repeller chronicling his stream of consciousness during Fashion Week. It was funny. That's not the cute part though. You see, when you click on links now, you will notice that they open as new tabs on your browser. I didn't do that. Sean the super-coder did. Tweet him for tech-fun, he rocks at HTML. His sister is Helena. People ask her why she called her brand "Helena and Troy." She shakes her head in dismay and then quips, "Helen of Troy, duh." People look at her blank faced. It's awkward, I've seen it.
rings: Mark Henry
Back to the bags though. Amidst a near end of seasons, beginning of new, I typically find myself in something of a fashion rut. It becomes too hot for a sheer tent, but too cold for a sweater made entirely of the pesky human hair I've been collecting from hair-dresser floors since '96, know what I mean? No? This is awkward. Yes you do. So...I've just had a brilliant idea--because that's what smart people do, they have good ideas--and calculated a way to put the rut to rest. It's so simple too, just spotlight something else. Forget the awkward outfit, or go forward with an easy one and instead focus on a conversation-starter accessory. 
That arm hair is all natural.
Bring an arm party along because, you know, you'll be using your arm to hold the bag and since the bag essentially is a party in and of itself, it likely deserves to be surrounded by other dedicated party goers. Ones that will perhaps salute my affinity for taking metaphors too far?
See that? Simple outfit. Cool lunch box. You may be taken back by the mass of leg exposed and present in the photo above but I assure you that contrary to popular belief, denim underwear fail the man getter test.
...But will the bag? It's too soon to tell. Peep the Helena and Troy collection here.
