Friday turned into a really fun day of fashion and photography. Patrick works at Sub Rosa Vintage, a clothing store in Kensington Market. The store is owned by his SUPER stylish friend Erica, and is filled with drool worthy vintage clothing, shoes and accessories. If you live in Toronto, or are ever passing through, you must check it out. Kensington Market is also one of the coolest neighbourhoods I've visited. The streets are lined with small shops, bakeries and restaurants and buzzing with creativity and life. It's basically a much more hip and way less dirty Alphabet City (from Rent).

Around noon on Friday, Erica arrived with a bunch of new merchandise and
asked me if I wouldn't mind modeling some of the new items so they could
be photographed for their Tumblr and Instagram. This was the equivalent
of asking a kid if they wanted two scoops of
ice cream instead of broccoli for dinner. I was so excited!
So, Patrick and Erica styled some
outfits and Patrick photographed me wearing them around the neighbourhood. Check them out below, and go visit Sub Rosa Vintage before they're all gone. (Hands off the red dress - I want it, BAD)

And to finish the day off, someone from ION Magazine called Patrick and I a hipster's wet dream, photograhed us with a copy of the mag for their Twitter feed and website and told us an awesome joke - how do you drown a hipster? In the mainstream. #totesamaze
