Rock with Stella and save the World

Hello fellow Judges'
We hope all is well with you, as it is with us. Are the new year's resolutions still going strong?!. With all the work and stress the start of the new year seems to bring; after the christmas break and the sales it seems quite a few of us are starting to waver. (Now where is that chocolate advent calender we swore we were going to throw out?!). Come on Judges' we are STRONGER and can keep going!.
So what is new with you?. Come on, you can tell us. We love to hear your news and opinions no matter how small. See the 'contact us' form and keep letting us know. Here, at www.sendoptics.com we recently put the fantastic environmentally aware Stella McCartney range onto the website and are pleased with how sales are going, having sold a few pairs without any blog to announce the arrival!.
Most of you I bet are thinking environmentally friendly design (I know we certainly did) is going to be drab and all for the Birkenstock brigade. Ms McCartney for over a decade has been putting the cool into this form of design using organic fabrics and materials wherever possible so you can be environmentally conscious and cool at the same time.
Stella McCartney graduated from the prestigious Central St Martins college of fashion in London in 1997, her style already noted for sharp tailoring, confidence and femininity.
Stella quickly became a force to be reckoned within British fashion creating wearable clothes for the modern Woman. The success was not due to her father Sir Paul McCartney as so many critics would say....but due to the wearability of the design and the way she designs clothes that she enjoys wearing herself.
What also helped her rise was the fact that Britain at the time was so saturated with contoversial male designers creating unwearable clothes they thought women 'should' be seen in.Stella has a keen eye for detail and uses inspiration from music (she would be daft not to), her travels, and old photographs.
Stella has recently launched collaborations with the sports giant Adidas and also a kidswear range, but here at www.sendoptics.com we are most excited about the fantastic range of sunglasses that she has launched. The range is dubbed by the designer herself as 'ecofriendly' using materials such as Castor oil seeds and citric acid and are available in high quality acetate and metal. Colours reflect the traditional Stella palette but also the effort the designer went to to create this high quality and beautiful collection...
We are saying look out for the on trend nudes, greens and ever cheerful berry hues.For those of you wanting something classic with a hint of political awakening with your style. We Judges' are saying rock with Stella and save the world.
So for now my friends it is almost time for us here at Judge Towers to turn the eco friendly light bulbs off and think about making a move. By shanks' pony as my old nan would say (walking to anyone who lives down south!).We have an early start again and are in need of our much needed beauty sleep.
Take care , keep them peeled and keep judging...
The Judge.

Aviators are so over!

Well it's the weekend and the reason I am writing this is due to something in the current edition of UK Vogue!...It may come as a surprise to many , but the style savvy have decided to throw all caution to the wind and declare you unfit for society if you are seen in a pair of aviators this season....
They say that VISORS are the best investment , but here at www.sendoptics.com we think they are not everyone's cup of earl Grey. Of course we have them (PRADA, PRADA LINEA ROSSA, GUCCI,DIOR, and many more) but we also have a lot more to choose from, so take a peek and forget all about last years aviators and invest in something new. We think that ROUND is the way forward. I promise that you won't look like the love child of Arthur Askey and Hirohito¬!!
Anyway, to share something funny with you that happened in a local supermarket express store,as I went through the door my ipod changed to a rather shameful Mika track (how sad am I?!). Not only that, but when i went to pay the lady serving had on a pair of shorts and a pair of nifty sunglasses. I asked 'have you actually been out there today? You must be freezing!'. The reply (her name on the badge was Chantelle.....spelt the French way she informed me!....what other way is there to spell it i felt like asking, but i was brought up 'proper' so i didn't!). The reply was a classic 'yeah i have ; I am sick of everyone moaning it's cold so thought I'll pretend I am on holiday, the day is wizzing by, and people are smiling, that's what it's all about'. So either this famous supermarket needs to start random drug testing its staff or maybe this young lady is on to something. A bright outlook and a smile costs nowt as my gramps used to say!. Her sunglasses were a christmas present to herself she also said and a rather nifty pair of Paul Smith's were being sported.
Regards, The Judge.

Dannii Minogues Sunglasses Advice

Dannii Minogues Sunglasses Advice by Davina RIn the Mail on sunday magazine 23/10/11 style icon Dannii Minogue gives advice about the “extras” that jazz up an outfit.With regards to sunglasses she states……“Dont underestimate the power of sunglasses to jazz up an outfit. i never go anywhere without a pair in my handbag and a back-up pair in the car, and I have a few spares in a drawer in my wardrobe, too. I choose them according to my mood. some are very “Hey look at me!” Others allow me to hide when I’m in the mood to blend into the background, and some are practical for throwing on when I’m driving or have a sleepless night with Ethan (son). The secret is finding a shape that suits your face. I think aviators are timless…..( SENDOPTICS suggestion…..think Ray-ban, swarovski Paul Smith) - I have a pair in gold and silver. I own a pair of cherry - red heart shaped sunnies (SENDOPTICS suggestion…..think Dior, Oliver Peoples, Paul Smith) , and the vintage Christian Dior super -sizers (SENDOPTICS suggestion……look at Vintage section) when I want to up the glam factor!

80s Microsoft sunglasses break the bank

Some people will go to any lengths to get what they want. But when the WANT in question is a pair of distinctly 80s "Frankie Goes To Hollywoodesque" luminous green glasses with the Microsoft branding plastered all over - and the price tag on it is a jaw dropping $173,000 it's a long way to go and a very expensive want.

Yup, that's what someone in America paid on ebay for these um, cough designer sunglasses.

Or could this be a clever ploy by Microsoft to get some publicity? It would make sense, they're about the only people who wouldn't miss that sort of money, and the publicity they'll get for this pair of retro sunglasses could be priceless.

Whatever it is if it's all the same with them i'll stick with my £114 bargain Paul Smith sunglasses. They don't glow in the dark, they won't break the bank and they don't require me to get a bobble perm.
