with friends that have names like pantone, fendi, chevron, günter, bandeau, eleven, paleo and tamarind, you know quinoa is not only one of the cool kids, she's the leader of them and quite possibly the next "it" girl. she has impeccable taste in fashion, a love for chanel and organic food, a hate for perms and overly preppy attire, and a passion for helping the poor get better clothes. and she's a toddler. and oh ya, she's imaginary.
i stumbled upon this gem of a pinterest page, dubbed "my imaginary well-dressed toddler daughter," a couple months ago, but it was only yesterday that i spent time shifting through the pins. and by god, its creator tiffany beveridge is hilarious. with 62,237 followers, i can tell others agree.
the board highlights the hippest child looks we secretly (or not so secretly) want for our kids and even ourselves, and puts a fun commentary on how ridiculous this idea is.
here's a peek at her pins for a preview of what you'll find, but click the links to her page to get the full effect...which trust me, you'll want to do:
(if you see some looks you want to pin here, please remember to click through and pin from the original source instead...thanks!)
"on eighties awareness day at school, quinoa was especially protective of her friend fennel's wham-inspired pompadour. #miwdtd"
"hashtag swears his wholesale accessory business is legit, but quinoa can smell a knock off a mile away. #miwdtd"
"when we met quinoa's friend ridley for brunch, he was unhappy to learn that the bistro's chicken nuggets were not free range."
"quinoa always keeps a spare 'urban outfit' in my purse in the event we're going to be around a lot of chain link fencing."
"the only thing quinoa likes to rescue more than puppies are children that shop for clothes at wal-mart."
"quinoa is particularly sensitive to smells like polyester, neoprene, and fear. #miwdtd"

i usually don't condone tagged facebook surveys, memes, app invites or any social media "chain letter" of the sort, but today i stepped outside my comfort zone and participated in an instagram photo-a-day challenge.
i learned about it by reading sydne summer's post on sydne style, who is participating in a fashion and beauty edition of the challenge for the month of may with daily themes developed by modly chic.
today's inspiration? mirrors. i took the opportunity to take a pic of my outfit prep for tomorrow's work day with my new h&m peplum-skirted top in front of my favorite mirror in the house.

so doing this in my closet with the pretty bags and boxes that i just can't seem to let go of from my first louis vuitton speedy, tiffany & co. engagement ring, calypso clutch, kate spade bracelet and prada purse. and let's not forget my shopping bags from milan, little palm island and london...i think i'm going to need a bigger wall.
thanks again pinterest!
