. chEeky . littlE . mOnkEy .

hAppy chinEse nEw yeAr . and . hellO to the year of the mOnkEy . we say goodbye to the calming influence of the sheep { or goat . did we ever decide which ? } . and . welcome in the more mischievous, more curious, cheeky little mOnkEy . 

sUperstition also says that this also sees the start of one of the most unlUcky years in the chinese calendar . but . i think we'll just choose to stick our fingers in our ears & hUm very loudly whilst quietly ignoring that little gem . 

instead . take a look at the cheeky cUteness of all these little mOnkEy's i've spotted . as a children's wear designer i've designed many a boys range around these little animals . but . never grow tired of the smile they can bring . not to mention the almost heartbreaking cuteness of Sharon Montrose's Baby Monkey print .
