Ankle boots

1 August 2007 by kristarella

Tucking your jeans into the inside of your knee-high or calf-high boots is one thing, it’s all the rage, but don’t tuck your jeans into your ankle boots! It’s just lame. I love my ankle boots as much as the next girl (well maybe a little less, I’m not as in love with shoes as […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
