If looks could kill then we all would be doomed

You may or may not be wondering who the other super special person was that I got to see in Toronto. If you are following me on twitter then you know that it was the one and only Isabel of Hipster Musings!

Isabel with a hot dog. What?
Okay so with Isabel skipping off to have adventures in NYC, we had just enough time to cross paths for one afternoon of, well, what else but a lot of vintage shopping. After we met at the bus station where her coach just arrived, we dropped off her bags at my hotel just down the street and then set off walking towards Kensington Market. You guys, I can't beleive I lasted the whole day walking EVERYWHERE. It wasn't especially hot out that day, but the air was so moist I could have drank it with a straw. Anyways, Isabel got off the bus looking fabulous while I only walked down the street and already am a sweaty mess. MOVING ON
I don't know the names of any of the shops we went in, so just enjoy the pictures. I'm pretty clueless around Toronto, so Isabel practically had to hold my hand to show me where to go.

Sifting through her beloved drug rugs.

Groping the sequins. We both have a penchant for shiny things. Obviously.

Isabel looked wicked though, loved her outfit top to bottom.

These printed docs were just calling out for Isabel. Unfortunately they were a tad too small

Andrew would have had a hay day with all the overalls I saw, haha. The other day he declared overalls as "his new thing"

I really took a shine to this metal bra. Seriously, I was so close to buying it! It reminded me of the metal bra that Topshop will be releasing this fall (see here from Flying Saucer, and here in a press shot). Looooove. Will wait to buy the Topshop one though... it has spikes :)

Ignore the sweaty t-shirt, and look at the teensy tiny bit of purple left in my hair!

I had such a good time with Isabel, she is actually one of the sweetest girls I've ever met. I felt like I kind of already knew her, so when we hung out it was as if we had been friends for ages (hopefully she feels the same, haha!). We also both bought these lacey bloomers, and were going to take a picture of us both wearing them afterwards but sadly we ran out of time. It's wierd, I just noticed we didn't actually get any pictures together, haha! Well, there's blogger pictures for ya.
Oh and lastly, a dress shop we passed had this big Lady Gaga display. Kind of a perfect end to a perfect day.
