what a drag

while in union square for cb2, we decided to browse barneys as well and ... i stumbled across a pair of patent leather pumps that i wouldn't have given another look at online. they look much better in person ...

the nicole pump by yves saint laurent in patent leather with a really fun print, which looks like the shoe was painted in gray and then a dry paintbrush was dragged across it to reveal the white underneath. very cool.

however, with 4"-plus heels, i didn't bother trying them on. BUT! i just saw the same shoes at saks with a 3.25" heel! ... almost the same but definitely a little more squat (and/or practical)

these are still in the consideration phase though. however, if they were in a darker graphite shade of gray, they'd belong to my feet by the end of the week ...
