Cool As Ice

Despite their shameful trendoid appeal, I continue to find myself attracted to the Classic Vans Slip-ons. Their comfy versatility and cute patterns have the unique ability to conform to various styles. Take these "Mary Janes" with the sea creature pattern and pink bows. Even the preppiest girl could rock them with an Abercrombie skirt, but these shoes perpetually seems to find themselves on the feet of screamo-type Gerard-way worshippers. Whichever stereotype you subscribe to (which is neither I hope), why miss out on these adorable shoes?



These black shoes with the skulls on them are so rock 'n' roll it hurts. They kind of make me want to get vomited on to increase punk street-cred. Unfortunately, wearing brand name shoes doesn't increase anyones street0cred and I'll just have to be satisfied with spectacular footwear. If punk street cred isn't really your thing (pansy. just kidding), then there's this cutesy pair of pink penguin shoes to cary you through the day with nary a scratch to your perfect manicure. Alright, so that's definitely not the case - but why not appreciate these slip-ons for what they are - shoes with pink penguins on them!!!!! (Can anyone tell that I like utilizing stereotypes? It's really fun to mock people. Until you get your ass kicked. Unfortunately, being small, I don't stand a chance.)

Vans slip ons are awesome, as long as you don't get the checkered ones... those are everywhere.

"screamo-type Gerard-way worshippers."
I honestly couldn't stop laughing at that part.
Was that directed toward me and my constant need to blog about him and his scary blondeness? Haha
I love the first pair and I would like the middle pair but that skull looks like it's going to jump out and kill me.

I'm not a big fan of Vans, they're too chunky for me. Although I do love the first pair you posted.

personally, vans & converse annoy me. they're inescapable and uninteresting.
they're cute, but in a middle school way.
by the way, thanks for linking me!
