Like too many otherwise attractive young women on this blog, the horrendous “street urchin” clothes do them no justice and neither do the current eyewear styles.
An extended weekend out in the sun in Florida wouldn’t hurt, either.
Love that she is wearing vegan boots – they are stylish and no animals were harmed in the making! That’s true compassionate consumerism.
That’s true compassionate consumerism.
There is no such thing.
Oh, pontif. Pretty pontif.
Can anyone shake your hand?
“Love that she is wearing vegan boots”—-
Just hope it isn’t wool felt. Or felt obtained by other animal bi-product.
Then they are not vegan after all. :0
Assuming the boots are – in fact – vegan….then that’s what really matters….so much more important than worrying about being fashionable. Oh, and staying warm is nice too!
Wow I hope they never take my photo while I am downtown, minding my own business and trying to do some shopping. Just to get bashed on here by all you meanies. If I see Ali Marshall I’m running the other way.
I like the look … you meanies are just jealous.
Ok, so let’s back up here a second.
The boots don’t eat any animal products at all?
Weird.
The production of petroleum products doesn’t harm any living ‘animals’? Does that mean drinking motor oil is vegan, too?

What planet are you living on?
Oh, that’s enough of that.
“Oh, that’s enough of that.”
No it’s not enough..it’s deliciously wicked….keep it up.
So are these boots really made out of vegans or not?
I think those boots are made for walkin’.
