Fashion may have its newest star, but the world will have to wait a few years until Kaia Aragon finishes school - elementary school, that is. Nine-year-old Kaia Aragon has gone viral on TikTok for her stunning original fashion creations.
Her mother, Tonya, boasts a TikTok account of her daughter's original designs, @middle.mom, with 582.9K followers and 22.6 million likes. Among all those fans there are famous adult fashion icons, including Vera Wang, who sent the young talent a handwritten note. Wang commented on one of Tonya's TikTok videos and later sent Kaia a hand-written note, along with a purple backpack.
"So excited to see you are already pursuing your dream of becoming a fashion designer! Congratulations and all good luck," Wang signed the note. Kaia said she's been designing "for a while now," and just started sewing in November 2021. Her first project was a cat bed. But she quickly escalated to completing her own outfits. "I like that depending on what you're wearing can make you feel confident and brave," said the youngster from Colorado.
Kaia's career began last Christmas when she was gifted a dress form. Right away, she grabbed a piece of scrap fabric, went into her room and pinned it to the form, sewed it together and walked out in her own design about an hour later. "It kind of blew me away," Kaia's mom Tonya said.
A pair from Virginia has everyone's jaw dropped over their argument-free marriage
With more than 30 years of marriage under their belt, one Virginia couple - Hannah Keeley, a master life coach, and her husband, Blair Keeley, a marketing professional - claim they've never had a single argument. They also say they've never even raised their voices at each other, including while parenting their seven children, who are now all grown up.
If these relationship claims raise a few eyebrows as a situation like this sounds very "unusual" and "rarely achievable", the couple also shared intriguing insights about the strengths of their partnership. "Relationships are a skill, not a gift," the couple said. "We decided from the beginning that our marriage was important enough to develop the skills of communication," they said.

Millennials are more likely to care about social media over money management, new research shows. The study, conducted by OnePoll and partner Upwise, surveyed 2,000 millennials - typically defined as those born between 1981 and 1996 - about how they spend their money and time. Researchers discovered the age group devotes over 150 hours to social media than they do to managing their bank accounts. They're also more likely to play with pets, surf streaming services, or ponder what to eat for dinner longer than they would think about finances. Only 27% of millennials confessed to checking their bank accounts once per week, while 45% said they didn't even know how much money they currently had in their accounts.
