if i had a ton of money, i would buy these shoes in black. i tried them on sunday, and i can't stop thinking about them. since my work wardrobe is really lame and pretty much consists of a sweater and black pants every day, i thought if i could afford to buy these shoes i could wear them and be transformed into a fashionista. well, sortof.

oh yeah, and this article gets my vote for hard-hitting news story of the week.
