50 Shades Of Grey- Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Hello Judges',

Well the spectacle that was the opening ceremony of the Olympics has been and gone and what an interesting night it turned out to be, celebrating all the great and good of the U.K. throughout the ages. The ceremony was watched by at least a staggering 20million British viewers. I for want of a better word was extremely impressed and proud of the show.

On Saturday I was quietly reading the Daily Telegraph when an article caught my eye called 'silver fox or just plain grey'. The article entered the debate about age appropriate dress and how to shop for your age if you are 45 or older. I sat their thinking about this ....should I no longer shop in Zara, Selfridges or numerous designers that are featured in young and happening magazines …. Am I too old to wear what the man on the street does?

In the article there was also a quiz to find out what type of 'Mr Grey' you are. Now, no offence, it was clear that like everything the creator of said quiz ...does not get out much with a list of three labels. I knew my answer before I started , and fixed my answers. Come on Judges'... we all do it. So I am a Trussardi wearing Oliver peoples sunglasses man with impeccable style. So Judges', have you seen the soloist collection by Oliver peoples ?. The sunglasses are extremely popular with the Far East. Oliver peoples sunglasses are great with just about any look . If you love retro styles choose Oliver peoples.

I think they missed off the likes of Paul smith to be honest his tailoring and accessories create a man and a look that is effortless and quintessentially British. The Paul smith sunglassescollection this summer has been extremely popular in the U.K and also in USA .Elson and Chaucer both proving popular with young and the older customer here at www.sendoptics.com . The range looks good with sharp tailoring through to jeans and Bretton stripes or just a crisp white shirt.

Prada continues to shine and the Olympics seems to have sparked an interest in thePrada Linea Rossa sunglasses (Prada sport) line . These are high quality sports frames for general use and specialised use in sailing and the whole of the Italian sailing team have been given these to sport and bring them luck. If your look is that of a sporty gent about town these frames are definitely for you.

With that Judges' I am back glued to my tv to continue to watch the coverage.

Now Judges before I do sign do not forget about our exciting news of our New look that we have launched and even if I do say so myself it looks great.

This new look would not have been possible without all of your comments and feedback.

So remember keep’em peeled and keep your comments flowing

Milan, Menswear, and a whole new look.- Thursday, July 26, 2012

Hello Judges,

Well the world of fashion has yet again been on a runaway train with Milan menswear collections .The most amzing collection in this was Armani and Dolce and Gabanna which both featured simple silouhette’s but a new look at last. The essence is that the shape instantly looks more relaxed and comfortable with its fantastically wide legged trousers.

The look that Paul Smith went for was a still slim and tapered and to be honest, a little tired look if it was not for the fantastic use of colour and pattern. Dior homme can only be described as an elegant version of a look that really works well and a nod back to the twenties and the infamous great gatsby.

So other than just the Menswear collection, the best day for fashion that has happened in years.. yes you got it Judges …The Dior couture collection finally arrived to a sea of enraptoured editors, famous faces and the whole of the limited market that Raf Simons will be supplying. The Dior colllection gave birth to what can only be described as yet another new look. Judges’, if you have not seen the collection get onto the Daily Telegraph fashionm website and check out the creativity in both Milan and Paris.

Check out on www.sendoptics.com the Dior Homme sunglasses collection, the Giorgio Armani sunglasses collection and the Paul Smith sunglasses collection to compliment the look . And do not forget, if you are a non-EU resident, you get them at duty-free prices, so a further 20% off the already discounted price!…How can you refuse..

Well for now Judges, I am off to carry on watching Wimbeldon and hopefully Murray will win it for us and make this year an even bigger reason for us to be proud to be be British

Keep ‘em Peeled

New looks, styles of the desperate...and astronamy with Armani- Thursday, July 26, 2012

Hello Judges’,

Well Hello all my lovely Judges’…. Paris Couture has continued with a renaissance of styles and some new stars emerging from classic houses. Dior yet again created a new look that is all the talk of Vogue and the fashion tree. The shapes have become voluminous and nipped in the right places,The revolution of Dior was the most talked about thanks to the understated glamour and pillaging of the archives and the staple of the original new look pockets. That is right Judges’… pockets in Couture !!…mind blowing and totally nouveau.

A star of the true modern classics can only be described as the Armani Prive show, taking his influence from the Mediterranean evening sky with twinkling swarvoski crystal against midnight blue silks , silk taffetas and velvet and organza, and not to forget the stunning Italian suitings. Armani has been churning out prize winning couture collections for years but this to me and many others seemed to be the truest of all simple, yet bold , stunning and understated. Many could be seen on the front row of the show in some of the new Armani Sunglasses from both this year and the year to come to continue with the frames for life campaign.

Versace was another intruiging addition to the Couture week shows in Paris, with the first show since the untimely death of Gianni. The collection was true Versace, oozing glamour, brash patterns and models spilling out of tight fitting bodices and hip length slashes to make even Angelina Jolie excited about the next red carpet. Donatella paid homage to her brother’s archives and turned it into something more for todays couture customer.

Well Judges’, after sitting there watching all these stick thin models parading about in dresses that cost more than a BMW, and only get made to show the creativity of the designer , and also to tempt the likes of many a Saudi or Japenese couture dress that will not be ready for at least six months from now.

After a weekend of dissapointment for Murray, there was also the rather deflated British Grand Prix , no Jenson button in his Tag heuer sunglasses, Dario Franchitti in Oakleys.

The Olympics are less than 20 days away and all I keep thinking is, God help us if the sun does not finally come out, well at least Tom Daley will feel at home.

For now Judges I am off to make some salad and start writing the follow up to this Blog .

Do not forget, www.sendoptics.com is the home for discounted designer sunglasses, and you non-EU customers get them at a further 20% off due to being duty-free!….how can you refuse!..

Keep Em’ Peeled

A new look for Miu Miu, and Celine goes all rural in the resorts.- Thursday, July 26, 2012

Muccia Prada has had a mighty busy time of it of late. Miu Miu has a new face to front their advertising campaigns in Chloe Sevigny; the cult indie actress has been named the face for 2012/13. Some say this is a gamble, but with her new role in the upcoming film ‘Manchester’, this is a great move in my opinion for Miu Miu . The label has enjoyed a great year, with most people having seen the likes of many A lister’s in the re – titled ‘ Noir collection ‘, as the house was told to change this due to copyright reasons.

The Noir collection is still one of your Judges’ favourite collections, and we have had a very good response from all over the world. The ‘ Culte collection’ is the latest addition to this collection, and nods towards futurism and fashion in gold black and tortoiseshell in either a hexagonal or apple shape. Fun, glamorous and something quirky from the label wanting you to join their ‘Culte’

Over in France, Paris was recently set a light with the fire of the Papp’s at fashion week….. Celine, my new favourite has thrown a spanner in the works for the glamour stakes mixing sleek lines with Cow print. Yes you read that right… Cow print !!!…only thing I can say is the fashion pack have gone mad for the whole Celine collection and you Judges’ seem to be rather taken with the Celine sunglasses collection.

Stella Mccartney has recently been throwing parties galore to celebrate launches of mid seasonal collections and lines for the Olympics, Paul Smith the True Brit is getting ready to celebrate his 60th birthday. View our collections of Stella McCartney sunglasses and Paul Smith sunglasses on line.

Judges’, we are on the final stretches on prepping towards the Olympics and security seems to be rather a concern for G4S and the country in this period. The lack of sun and flooding is my main concern… strange weather on the pinnacle of the end of the world financial meltdowns, Methane coming from the poles. It really is the end of the world and we are all doomed!!!!!

Well ,I am off for a walk into Town and to grab some food …you Judges keep ‘em peeled for some exciting changes and updates to the site. Remember, www.sendoptics.com is the home of all the best designer sunglasses, at competitive prices!…and do not forget, if you are a non-EU resident, you get them duty free, so a further 20% off!!!…

Keep ‘em peeled,

The Judge
