Lace Appeal

Hey Judges,

Welcome to another installment of the www.sendoptics.com blog by none othe than 'The Judge'. It's still all go here at Judge Opticians based here in Leicester. Winter seems to have really taken a hold with everyone bringing the cold in with them. The smiles and comments of appreciation though keeps us warm (yes we Judges' do have a heart).

Well, we hope wherever you happen to be reading this you are currently keeping warm and well.We have had a glut of feedback and comments on our recent posts and are busy listing all these for when we get together with our wonderful website folks, whom without this site would still be in its unimproved state.

We have to make a little apology regarding some of the missing photographs. This is due to the delay in us receiving the actual models and getting a little ahead of ourselves, we are hard at it, we promise.
So we hope you have been keeping up with everything that is going off with the site and are loving the vastly improved appearence, as are we!. If there is anything you need to contact us about please do not hesitate to use the 'contact us' form on the homepage (an awful lot of you seem to have noticed it already) we do love to hear from you and any enquiries we do our upmost to respond within 24 hours on a weekday.

Well, on trend that we at www.sendoptics.com are proud to have been pushing last year is finally flourishing as a whole for you ladies, yes we Judges' are so ahead of our time!. This week Dolce and Gabbana have announced that 'Lace' is the new 'Black' . Rather a strong comment i hear you cry but no, no, no ! (Is that Amy Winehouse in the background again?).

The trend is coming through in various forms in S/S 2012 from traditional French lace to techno lace with intricate detailing and even lazer cut leather to create subtle lace effects. This look is hardly surprising considering fashion's nostalgic mood of late. The look is even stronger come A/W 2012 when eveningwear and couture showed little but lace in many of the top collections.

So how does this relate to accessories?. The current trends in sunglasses are no longer just solid hues; nude frames are becoming le mode nouveau (get us being all european!) Dolce And Gabbana being so ahead of their time last year launched the infamous Ultra luxurious 'Lace Collection' . These are made of lace embedded in high quality acetate. The sunglasses are available through www.sendoptics.com allbeit of very limited stock (it's no longer possible to order the collection). Dolce and Gabbana only made so many of each style and they are becoming something of a collectors item even after just one season. So come on ladies, stay ahead of the trends and know for the foreseeable future the only judgement passed on to you will be where did they get such stylish sunglasses.

For now our fellow Judges' we are signing off as it is time for us to carry on unpacking the new stock (it really does seem like a never ending job, and a massive thank-you to our photographer who seems to have the patience of a saint and whom without we would not be able to present such strong images).

Keep them peeled,

The Judge.
