Though I was certainly thinking a lot about these gorgeous Dries-like Nine West canvas lace-ups after Fops and Dandies posted about them yesterday.
But then, via Holly, I read this incredibly heartbreaking story of a DC-area couple and their adorable little daughter who was just diagnosed with a massive brain tumor. I know stories like these are way too common, that so many people face enormous personal and financial challenges in their lives every day. I am incredibly lucky that, right now, my challenges include whether or not I could fit some very pretty new shoes into my closet.
So today, no shoes. Instead, I made a donation to this little family, who look so happy and hopeful, even as they hold their little girl in the hospital. If you can, read the piece. You don't have to donate, but maybe at least we can all send happy, hopeful thoughts their way. Every little bit helps.
{update} Omg, did you know that nearly $25,000 has been raised so far for Emily and her parents? I was so busy this week I just got around to checking for updates, and when I saw the news, I was so touched, I started to bawl. Let's hope it can help them.
