Autumn Designer Shades at Sendoptics.com

We may be putting those bikinis back in the draw until next summer, but those designer sunglasses can still keep us looking cool,  whatever the temperature.  With wonderful styling from Chanel, Ray-ban, Prada, Tom Ford, Jimmy Choo, and many others, here at Sendoptics.com we have a huge selection of designer frames to suit the big warm  jumper and scarf look.

As Autumn approaches, we must not forget the protection our eyes get from our sunglasses as the sun becomes lower in the sky, and therefore  shines more directley into the eyes. We still need the protection from UVA and UVB rays that our designer sunglasses offer. Driving becomes increasingly difficult as the low level sunshine causes glare. Always a good idea to keep a pair of your favourite designer sunglasses for driving.

So while your choosing which over knee boots to rock this Autumn, and whether to invest in a retro leather biker jacket, or the big boyfriend tailored  jacket to complete your Autumn/Winter look, one thing you know you can rely on for style and glamour is your designer sunglasses. Browse through our collection at Sendoptics.com to find your style.

Sex and the City… Too (Exciting)

That’s right, the second Sex and the City movie is in production with thousands of potential extras lining up for auditions, taking their stylish sunglasses and killer heels with them to prove they’ve got “it”.

As a Guardian journalist joins the ranks of auditioning hopefuls queuing the streets of New York, one thing is apparent. These are girls who are happy to be eclipsed by fashion.

Fashion on such a tremendous scale; spanning designers from across the world and catapulting them in to the spotlight.

Never has fashion been brought to the masses, been made so appealing, or defined trends as Sex and the City has single-handedly done. A real accomplishment, we think. And one we’re utterly besotted with!

Throughout the six seasons and recent film, we lusted after Carrie’s Manolos, Samantha’s Dior wrap around sunglasses and Charlotte’s iconic Chanel shades. Well, more is to come – and we actually can’t wait.

Strut your local sidewalk in Sex and the City styled anticipation with these stunning Chanel sunglasses from sendoptics.com, and keep your fingers crossed for an audition!

Sunglasses: offering sun protection or identity protection?

The real question on everyone’s lips this summer is whether sunglasses are being used to mask out more than just the sun?

Notorious for their use by fashion conscious celebrities, designer sunglasses have become society’s most acceptable veil and single-handed lifter of social status.

Exuding an air of “Don’t touch me – I’m famous” snobbery, paparazzi flock at the sight of them, in their expectation that there must be something worth hiding beneath those lenses.

Understandable when we recall all the tear-stained eyes and hangover recoveries that sunglasses sadly not only fail to hide, but in fact positively drawn to.

Really if you think about it, when feeling at your lowest it’s best to opt for easy glamour. Forgotten to brush your hair or can’t be bothered with makeup this morning? No worries, whack on a pair of your most favourite on stand-by sunglasses and a glamour puss is born.

Get yourself some maximum impact shades to turn heads in the street, and let them wonder if you’re a celebrity in disguise. For celeb style gloss without the stylist, these classic Chanel wraps are a front-page investment.
