Shake Your Pom Poms

Shake your pom poms if you're off to a festival this summer. If you want to channel that sought after global traveller vibe when you don't plan on venturing any further than deepest, darkest Glastonbury then pom poms  are definitely the way forward. An instant talking point, pom poms cry out 'oh look at this necklace I picked up in Peru' - never mind it's actually from Primark!

The crafters' favourite will instantly add an ethnic twist to this year's festival fashion - so why not buy some wool, make a batch and tie some to your wellies? That said, if you don't fancy a spot of DIY fashion, you can find pom poms everywhere at the moment - just look at the Issa for LK Bennett collection where these brightly coloured fuzzy balls are the embellishment of choice.

A Royal Engagement

After months, if not years of speculation, Prince William has finally popped the question to Kate Middleton. The happy couple actually got engaged a few weeks ago whilst enjoying a romantic break in Kenya, but waited until Remembrance Day commemorations were over to make the big announcement. Kate, always the picture of elegance befitting a Princess-to-be, relied on one of her favourite labels, Issa, for the photo call - the navy silk wrap-dress prefectly complemented the enormous sapphire sparkler proudly displayed on her ring finger. It obviously made a big impression, as the dress sold out within 24 hours. Now various High Street brands are in a frenzy trying to copy the look - Lipsy already have a waiting list for their version. I just can't wait to see what her wedding dress will be like...





















Here are a few similar dresses - so we can get the look if not the prince...
