The new Marvel Vans
One of my favorite stops when I'm out of town is the Vans store, which seems kind of silly since I have one in my own town, but well, we all have our quirks, right!

Take my money, Vans!

Is it sad that something like this is so rare? For me, the black and white is a fantastic neutral sneaker that I feel like I can pull off all year long, and as a 40-something, I kind of like how you have to look closely to see who they are.

I will be perfectly honest: I just want everyone to go buy them up so they make more like this. For us! For our girls! For supportive partners and husbands! Whether you're a huge Marvel fan or not, they're pretty darn cool. Plus, hand your kids some washable markers and they've got a fun screen-free coloring activity while you're out.
