I watched North by Northwest last night. Great movie. I highly recommend it even if you don’t like oldies. And if you’re looking for a great pair of shades for this summer, take notes from Cary Grant in this shot. That’s some high class eyewear.

Is there anywhere you can’t go in your Vans? Is there anything you can’t do in your Vans? Is there any sneaker greater than Vans? Doubt it. If you think there might be, just remember all the miles you’ve gone in your Vans, and all the places they’ve been with you. Summer is here. Wear Vans and make memories. 

Rome is nice, but the coast is better. Let’s go to Italy!

I’m digging the new Ray-Ban ad campaign. Can you dig it too?
