Sister by Sibling Make The Best Hats & Scarves EVER

I LOVE THESE SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! And in case anyone's wondering (like I did), yes those awesome pom poms are faux fur - and detachable too although who'd want to take them off? They're OUTSTANDING.  

The whole edgy Sister by Sibling fair isle-skull-mouse-leopard print patterned knit thing is *so* awesome in fact that a very naughty high street retailer has attempted to rip it off. Not cool at all. Get yourself geared up for AW12 with the originals now before they're gone (they're already on low stock).

Sister by Sibling Fair Isle Leopard Double Pom Pom Hat, £190 and Fair Isle Leopard Double Scarf, £175 both at www.asos.com. 

PS. Click here to check out their SS12 sale stuff too - LOVE the HATE t's and jumpers :)

Henry Holland per Superga - Free Smiles With Purchase!

I adore Henry Holland. He's the most lovely chap and always has such a sense of fun about everything he does - at the launch of his hot new House of Holland line for Italian plimsoll titans, Superga, last night he told me he'd had a LOT of fun doing this too. Like we couldn't tell... these cheery sneakers are practically smiling.

The leopard print pumps are top of my Spring/Summer wishlist but it's the next range for Autumn/Winter (previewed in the four images directly above) with the red furry ankle trimmed mids, zig zag platforms and the ultimate in cheeky retro tennis girl style pom pom shoes that are my absolute must haves.

Prices are a lot less than I'd expected at a totally reasonable £55-£70 a pair which kind of makes you think that maybe buying more than one pair is absolutely justifiable.

WINTER WOOLIES: LOVING FLORENCE + FRED'S GIANT POMPOM BEANIES

How cute are these? As readers may know I love a pom pom so had to sneak a couple of these Florence + Fred chunky knit, giant bobble hats in my basket during a Tesco run the other day.  Aren't they adorable?  And such a bargain at only £6 each. They come in cream, wine and a strawberry yoghurt pink and are super soft and stretchy.  The only downside is that they will almost certainly give you hat hair (but that's only if you take them off).


Available from larger Tesco stores nationwide or you can get the pink one online here.

POM POM PREOCCUPATION

It's one of my fav looks and, as the reminiscence trend for all things childhood continues, despite the fact that they've been hanging around for years now, pom poms just will not go away.

The pom pom jumper in this pic, taken from The Fashion Spot, of Tavi is just awesome and so cosy and fun, and reminds me of Ashish's AW 2009 collection, pictured below.

Whilst pom poms prevail, they have filtered down more to more of an accessories level now with the Sonia Rykiel catwalk headpieces available for mass market as super cute giant hair bobbles from the likes of Topshop and ASOS.

Pom Poms are also still conspicuous in detailing from the Louis Vuitton playsuit Emily Wasson is pictured wearing at the top of this post to Oscar de la Renta's 2012 Resort collection featuring a plethora of pom pom fringing.

Personally, this Manoush dress which features pom pom trim is more my thing - and on sale via The Outnet.

Whatever your pom pom preference, you're bound to find something to suit... and if not, go DIY.  I *heart* my customised American Apparel pom pom hoody :)
