Pom-Pom {Obsession!}

It all began with Candice. Since I laid my eyes on this particular image a while back I knew I must have the perfect Pom-Pom hat for fall, or to be more precise a chic version of it for the cold New York winter… As I started my search, I shortly found out that finding the right fit with the right Pom-Pom is everything but breezy. And if you’ve been on the go these past couple of days, finishing up your Christmas gift hurrah like me, you probably noticed that a good hat is not only a matter of a fashion statement but a true necessity. And I hate to be so judgmental but let’s face it, most “ladies” don’t go the extra mile when it comes to hats and in cold days you’ll see more then enough heads covered up with sloppy “beanies” (in Israel we call them “sock-hats” because it really does looks like you put a sock on your head!) that are mmm, how should I put it, not quite flattering for most. There are a few exceptions to the rule of course. If you are head to toe fabulous, a beanie can pass, The Glamourai is probably the best example for the case (I’ve never seen a girl looking so chic- in a beanie!), OR if you are the epitome of perfection and there is absolutely no way to meddle with your 6 feet tall confusing presence… However, if you belong to the majority of us humans and look beyond silly with a beanie (like me!) it’s time to be creative. I personally think that a Pom-Pom is the most adorable solution ever. Whether you decide to make a statement and go big or stay within the subtle boundaries of humor is up to you, but either way have fun with it

I love the ones that have a little bill at the front, to give it more structure, like the one above from FRASSY, but if you’re more into the colorful scheme of things asos.com have a pretty neat selection. I recently found the cutest Diesel knitted cap, however lacking the Pom-Pom! If that’s the case, you can always add the pom-pom yourself! I found a great selection of fur pom-poms in both M&J Trimming, and at Joyce in the garment district in the city. Can’t wait to test mine!!!
