And stumbled across these headbands... I was definitely eying up the blue one on the right, but I was once told I look silly in headbands so I held out for something better.
We moved on to well edited vintage shops and I tried on the cutest blue dress... unfortunately my hips were a bit too wide for it. But Cecilia looked charming in a red beret!
And the trendy vintage shop assistant recommended a little veggie burger stand for us to go to for lunch. The Ha Ha Veggie Bar.
Yum! I love me some good street food. I got the Halloumi Special. It was de-lish!
Then we discovered the true gem of Camden, Cyber Dogs. What is a cyber dog? I'm not really sure.
But between these giant C3PO's was a world of fashion the likes I have never seen. If you can imagine where The Jetsons would shop... if they were on acid and went to raves - it would be this store. We weren't allowed to take pictures of this outlandish clothing, but I managed to snag this one of Cecilia before a man, with what can only be described as a 3-way mohawk dyed neon yellow and orange, started yelling at me. If you must know, the hat reads, "Jesus Raves".
I had so much fun shopping in Camden with Cecilia! There is really such a variety of things to explore here, and great people watching. Even though it seems a bit touristy, this is definitely a tourist activity I would highly recommend. And anywhere I can buy such awesome hats is alright with me!
bahh I went to that Cyber Dog place this summer and felt like I had passed into an alternate universe! certainly very unique!
