I know I’m in the middle of giving you the tour of the Buddhist temple we visited Sunday, and I’ll get back to it next – I promise, but I have to share this with you first!…and in the exact order I stumbled on it.

It started with a news article posted on Yahoo this morning.

It was enough of an attention grabber that I had to read the article.

You can read the full article by the Guardian News (a UK paper) here. But the long & short of it is that this little 13 year-old girl from Chicago has become quite the buzz at NY Fashion Week.

She started a blog in April of last year where she mused on the latest fashion in magazines, analyzed their trends & shared photos of her own uniquely-put-together outfits.

And somewhere along the way, her blog made it to the eyes of the fashion elite – where they immediately dismissed her as a fake. There was just no way this could be a 13 year-old girl - the writing was too professional, the analyses too dead-on…there was just no way. It had to be someone in the fashion industry posing as an awkward tween.

And then her blog captured the attention of an award-winning fashion label. They emailed Tavi & her fame in the fashion world exploded from there.

She took a week off of school to attend NY Fashion week – where she was courted by some big names; has been photographed for the cover of a popular fashion magazine and has become “the muse” for the fashion label that reached out to her in the first place.

And after reading the article, I had to browse her blog where I stumbled on one of her self-made videos (linked to the image below).

I was never this cool as a 13 year-old…can you imagine being this avant-guarde, this carefree, this unconcerned with how others perceive you…at the age of 13?!

Watching this video made my day…I kept smiling through-out it all & tried imaging what her parents must be thinking about all this attention….and then died laughing at the last few seconds.

But I’ll now return you to your regularly scheduled programming – thanks for humoring me.
