(Not-so) Heavy Metal

This spring saw the runways awash with shimmering metallics. We've seen golden gowns, silver skirts and bronze blazers not to mention the incredible array of sparkling shoes....and any excuse for new shoes is fine by me. Not only have designers been loving the precious metal palette, they've also been playing with metallic greens, pinks & lilacs creating a whole new trend to have fun with.

Want to dip your toe into the metallic pool without breaking the bank? Why not opt for some shimmering accessories in soft pastel metallics? Wear one at a time for a subtle nod to this trend, or stack them for instant impact. To see more visit www.pom925.com x

Festival fever

Well, well, festival season has arrived! If you're lucky enough to have tickets to some of this summer's live music extravaganzas I wish you sunshine and a hangover-free experience. Two of the PoM girls are off to Glastonbury this weekend, luckily neither of them are office based on a Monday. The rest of us will be watching from the comfort of our living rooms, with the added bonus of showers, fridges & loos.

We may not all get the chance to be singing at the top of our lungs within touching distance of the stage, or spending long weekends hanging out with our favourite bands but we can still enjoy festival fashion! Whether you're a rock chic at heart or an indie girl, the eclectic mix of trends & styles means there's room for everyone at the festival fashion party.

Lauren Laverne recently shared her extensive knowledge of dressing for festival weather in the Observer, so if you're a first-timer it might be wise to have a peek, read Lauren's article here.

And if you're staying home, you can plan your weekend's viewing by visiting the BBC's one-stop shop for all things Worthy Farm related HERE .......enjoy!

Once you pop you just can't stop

The sun may be struggling to make an appearance but this season’s trend for bright colours will certainly warm things up. One thing is for certain, 2013 is all about bold patterns, prints and colour and here at PoM we love it. Animal, aztec, stars, botanical, geometric, it’s all about clashing colour with design and that all makes for a really exciting time to be in accessories. With some major pop culture exhibitions going on around the UK, the influence on the high street is already visible where stores are bursting with bright juicy colours. But pastel shades are also big this spring - soft pink, greens and blues are very flattering for any skin type and take us on an easy journey into summer when pop brights are set to sizzle.

As seen on TV

You only have to switch on TV or flick through a magazine to see that scarves are a huge accessory right now, with many people choosing to wear them whether it’s cold or not. They make a big bold statement that adds an instant hit of colour to your wardrobe and for the not so fashion confident, they're a brilliant way of experimenting with a colour you might not normally wear.

Scarves are also a fairly inexpensive way of giving your ‘look’ an update. Who has the cash to buy a new wardrobe 4 times a year? Or maybe you have to wear something fairly conservative to work (this doesn’t apply to us here at PoM, we’ve even been known to wear our slippers) putting on a bright patterned scarf at 5.30pm will certainly give you a ‘schools out’ tingle.

Our favourite look at the moment is colour clashing, there are a lot of pop colours out there and let’s be honest they can be quite hard to wear for the average British woman who never sees the sun! So wearing a bright scarf is a safe way to try a new fashion trend.

Working at PoM is dangerous for those of us who love a good scarf (I believe many of us now have a personal scarf collection to rival most boutiques) and we're not worried about mixing stripes with spots or animal prints with florals, it's just one of the fun elements to accessorizing.

Here are some of our favourite scarf wearing celebs, and our own Tilly - who will be a celeb one day xx



Spring colour palette

This season sees the return of a fun, carefree feel and new exciting colour pallette guaranteed to lift your spirits. Scarves are big again this season with soft fabrics & striking patterns, from ballerina pastels & earthy tones to nature prints & aztec inspired designs. Here's PoM's colour inspiration this season:

Soft Heather
Subtle, muted tones in charcoal & lavender are
perfect for the winter to spring transition

Aztec Temple
Earthy greens & browns are accented with
vibrant red creating a striking contrast

Ice Cream
Fresh ballerina pastels are given a modern
twist in this pretty pallette

Summer Crush
Lively beach colours with a nod to summer
give a crisp & versatile edge

Spring Scene
Feminine shades of blue, green & pink are
the perfect pallette for the English Rose

Spring scarves NOW IN!

It may still be snowing in some parts of the UK but we're already looking forward to Spring & we've got some beautiful new scarf designs to keep you on trend right through the seasons.

As much as we love wrapping up & keeping cosy it's time to banish the winter blues & put away the thermals. This season we're in love with pastels & feminine elements with pink, blue, green, ivory & soft grey making the perfect base for glorious nature inspired patterns & Indian prints.

Tilly is looking gorgeous in our new bird print scarf which is destined to be a best seller....I'm sure there will be more than a few PoM girls wearing this design!
