Green Days! Pashmina Shawls for Green Goddesses Part Two!

Glamourous greens can come in all shades and part two of my look at all things green, concentrates on the fancier scarf and shawl choices.

First up a little scarf with a lot of sparkle. This Seagreen Pashmina & Silk Scarf is embellished with Swarovski and is an inexpensive way to perk up any coat for evening wear.

Pashmina Is A Girl's Best Friend! April Birthstone Pashmina Colour

Diamond is April's birthstone colour and a girl's best friend, so accordingly www.pashminasdirect.co.uk have reduced a selection of pale pashminas (mostly ivory and in our Wedding or Red Carpet range) that feature Swarovski, crystal or beading embellishments. You really can't go wrong with a combination of cashmere and bling!

                                           70% Pashmina Cashmere & 30% Silk Shawl with Beaded fringe

One of the most popular shawls is the Pashmina Cashmere & Silk Plain Shawl with Beaded Tassels. This is currently reduced as a birthstone offer in Ivory and Cream. However, don't despair if you miss it this time around - Pashminas Direct and www.mayfair-valley.co.uk do put various colours on offer in this style regularly. The weight of the beads makes it drape consistently; a useful benefit when you want to enjoy an occasion rather than fiddle with a shawl.

Another shawl in the spotlight this month is the Greek Key Swarovski pashmina shawl. It is such an unusual design to finish off a pashmina, and very simply chic. http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=246  It's currently on the www.pashminasdirect.co.uk Bridal page which is worth checking for summer looks, even if you are not a bride. Ivory and Cream are classic colours for evening wear shawls -  crisp in the summer and elegant in the winter, it's a versatile neutral that earns its keep.

                           70% Pashmina Cashmere & 30% Silk Shawl with Greek Key Swarovski edge

This autumn Mayfair Valley introduced a pure cashmere knitted bolero which is embellished in Swarovski crystals. The original white sample is here in size 10-12 and with a 50% discount on the RRP:

     100% Pashmina Cashmere Fine Knit Bolero Shrug with Diamond Swarovski

Another pure pashmina cashmere, this time in a very fine knit, is the Stardust Sweater (UK 6-8) Taken into occasion wear by it's own sequin corsage, this is an elegant style that looks stunning for spring with pale pants or dramatic with black in winter.

     100% Pashmina Cashmere Fine Knit Sweater with Sequin Starburst

For simple elegance, the Lightweight Pashmina Cashmere & Silk Shawl with Swarovski - Starlight Wedding gives a great drape with a hint of sparkle. An ideal choice in plain ivory for summer events.

Bargain Box Beauties - 100% Treat!

As the weather has become so unsettled, it's time to haul out some shawls.

It's always a treat to wear 100% Pashmina - nothing else compares - and once you've tried it once, it's difficult to go back. But the 100% price tag can put off the most ardent pashmina lover.

Featured in our Bargain Box Beauties section today is a 100% Large Shawl shaded Turquoise to paler. It has some faults in the weave and a paler dye mark but nothing that shows when wearing and it's a fantastic way to pick up a 100% at less than the price of a regular Pashmina & Silk in this size.

In the office bargain box at only £40.00, this shawl usually sells on our website at £112.05 (and in fact a pristine version is currently available at that price...) Drop me an email on our Contacts page and quote 100%BLOG. There's only one, but get in touch and you might grab a bargain! www.pashminasdirect.co.uk
