Sat 08.02: Saturday Staycation Saturday, August 02, 2008 9:55 PM

K-Line, left, looking lovely in a vintage dress and Nine West sandals. // Me, photographed by K-Line. White boys a-shirt: Simply Basic (Wal-Mart). Yellow tank: Old Navy. Bird & leaf necklace: Forever 21. Brown vest: Dragon Centre (Hong Kong). Black skinny jeans: Forever 21. White sandals: Meteor. Scraf: H&M. Black leather satchel: Sabina. Sunglasses: H&M.

As Torontonians headed to cottage country for the long weekend, the fabulous K-Line and I decided to take a staycation in our fair city. We met up for brunch at Swan so I could satisfy my eggs benedict craving before going on a tour of K's favourite vintage shops in the west end.

I can now see why she talks up Apt. 909 so much. It is a truly charming store with many beautiful pieces on their shelves, like the Greyhound dress I didn't want to take off and the gorgeous cherry wood belt I had trouble putting down. Though I left empty-handed, K made off with the most adorable dress which I don't want to go into detail about because I'm sure she'll post about it.

And now for a photo dump of our day...

Lovely pictures. Two of my favourites meeting up, it can only mean good things! I love the brown vest you're wearing and that vintage dress looks great on her.

Hope you get my comment this time, Y...

Great photos and love your post (natch)! Mine is up now. We so have to do that again soon - and maybe this time we can convince some of our local blogger friends to join?!

Thanks! I'm off to read yours. We'll have to have another staycation in a couple weekends or so! I'm dying to try some of the other restaurants you mentioned. Or perhaps I can do some research into Leslieville in the meantime.

Looks like you two had a lot of fun! And I love how you turn the more typical scenes of life (i.e. a meal at a diner) into something so artistic and lyrical. I love those diner shots and the pic with the chairs!
