Calendar Cutie
We spotted this month’s cutie hanging at our fave hot dog cart** in Vibe Bar, Brick Lane. Little Quentin is a natural born comedian who toddles around with the confidence of a much older kid. ‘He’s 15 months going on 5,’ says mama Kim. ‘And he’s such a charmer. We know we’re in trouble with this one!’
Quentin is also our Trendy Toddler pick for the week.
Style Check
Hat – CTH Mini
Shirt – Zara Kids

What a gorgeous boy and look at all those amazing events. Always wanted to go to Chelsea Flower Show and never made it. Let me know if you’d ever like Oliver to grace your blog x
Quentin’s pretty stylin’ eh? I know, I hope I can make the Chelsea Flower Show this year and if not, there’s always next one. That’s what you call an evergreen event! Of course I would love Oliver to star on our calendar. He’s pure Cutie! Send us a pic x
