This may be my first post dedicated to children\u2019s wear but after seeing Muchacha<\/a>\u2019s designs, I felt almost compelled to post about them. I have never before wished to be young again; there were no Tom Hanks BIG moments for me as a child either. My age has always been just a number indicating my amount of time on earth. I don\u2019t feel particularly wiser or more mature as the number steadily increases. The visible signs of my years are creeping in and age envy may join them soon but I hope my age acceptance remains.<\/p>\n

Muchacha<\/a>\u2019s clothing contradicts my usual balanced attitude to age. On seeing their dresses I wished to be 8 again (just for the day) or for them to make their dresses in giraffe adult sizes. Pearl Lowe<\/a> posted a picture on Twitter of her beautiful young daughter wearing a Muchacha<\/a> dress. It was Alice in Wonderland themed (as many things appear to be of late ;) and extremely unusual. A tweet back from Pearl and some further investigation led me to the Japanese brand\u2019s VERY unusual and beautiful website<\/a>. It is super kitsch and fun to play with; the only downside is my complete lack of Japanese (maybe the Felt Mistress<\/a> could help me.) So if you are a miniscule adult, the proud owner of a beautiful daughter or a lover of beautiful things (the latter is me!) look at Muchacha\u2019s website. You can also purchase some of their gorgeous designs on Alex and Alexa<\/a> in the U.K. or Little Fashion Gallery<\/a> in the rest of Europe. I just downloaded their super-cute desktop wallpaper \u2013 if you love cats, you\u2019ll adore it too.<\/p>\n

I think the main reason I\u2019m drawn to Muchacha<\/a> (apart from the overwhelming kitsch!) is the fact that they make clothes for little girls to be just that\u2026children; not mini-adults or over-sexualised tweens. Muchacha means little girl in Spanish and that’s just what the brand allows them to be. I know that comment may come across all blue rinse and Daily Mail but I feel the rush to be a grown-up is slowly eating away at the happy, carefree days of childhood. (Sensible lady hat is on for the next few days!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
